And that’s a wrap! While this isn’t many team members’ first time running a building competition, it was the first we’ve done in a modern version of Minecraft and on an unconventional build server like Hollow Cube. As such, we’ve learned a lot! In the future, we will aim to do better by giving more building time and adding a way for team members to load the submission they’re working on when the author is offline, among other improvements. We plan to run our next building competition near the end of this year, subject to change, of course. With all that said, we hope to see you around, and don’t forget to try out all the awesome submissions if you haven’t already! Till next time! 👋
