The Opportunity Roundup #4

Wraithzeon 25 January, 2025 3 min read

Here’s the latest opportunities we’ve found for Minecraft events and projects to get involved with!


Find an event or server to play…

THE GREAT MINECRAFT RACE

Applications are open for The Great Minecraft Race, a charity event starting on 8th March in which players must race over 24 hours to collect as many advancements as possible.  You can find out more or sign up on their website.

WMCT COMMUNITY EVENT

This is an open-application version of this story-driven minigame event on Bedrock Edition.  The event will be played on 15th February at 8pm GMT / 3pm EST, in teams of two, with space for six duos in total.

You will need to come up with a video application to meet specific criteria (more info in the WMCT Discord), and submit it here.  The application deadline is 8pm GMT / 3pm EST on 1st February.

JEOCRAFTY

TheEvents580 has announced its first gameshow, inspired by American TV quiz show Jeopardy.  The first episode will take place on 1st February at 5pm GMT / 12pm EST.

Applications to play are open in the TheEvents580 Discord, but be quick because they close today (25th Jan) at 7pm GMT / 2pm EST.

TBIC BIRTHDAY BASH

This event is to celebrate the 1-year anniversary of MCC Island tournament The Bird’s Island Challenge.  This is a for-fun (low emphasis on balancing), non-canon event taking place on Saturday 8th February at 5pm GMT / 12pm EST.  You can join the Discord here, with applications open here.

MEDIEVAL MINIS

Roster applications are open for MCC Island tournament Medieval Minis.  You can apply to be on the roster here.

THE QUIZ LIVE

The Quiz LIVE, a Minecraft trivia gameshow, is soon to return for Season 5.  You can find out more about the show in our article here, or apply for the first episode, which takes place Saturday 22nd February at 5pm GMT, here.

CIARÁNPIXELZ SMP

This is a pirate-themed SMP featuring “brews” that give players special abilities.  You can find out more about the inspirations, gameplay, map, lore, and social features the server has in our article here – or you can apply through the application form here.

MINECRAFT MASH

Minecraft Mash is a minigame tournament currently in development.  They’re currently looking for builders, developers (Java & Skript), pixel artists and 3D modellers.  You can apply for any of these roles here.

ONEI
