The Opportunity Roundup #1

Wraithzeon 3 January, 2025 2 minutes read

In the wide world of the Minecraft community, there’s a continuous stream of events, SMPs and other projects looking for new players to get involved.  Here are some of the opportunities we’ve spotted over the last few days!


Find an event or server to play…

Cdog, the organiser of MCC Island tournament Isle To Glory, will soon be celebrating his birthday by running an event on Friday 17th Jan, at 8pm GMT / 3pm EST.  You can sign up to take part in the event here.

AutoCraft SMP currently has applications open for Season 5. This is a server for YouTubers aged 18+, and you can find more information and the application form here.

… or choose one to help out!

Biome Battle is looking to expand its staff team in a variety of roles: developers, builders, social media management, texture artists / modellers, and translators. If you’re interested in working on a high-quality Minecraft event, this could be the one for you! You can find the staff application form here.

Heart Of A Hero is looking for new partners to join its fundraising mission for Teenage Cancer Trust. If you currently run (or have in development) an event, SMP or other Minecraft project, and would be interested in getting involved, you can reach out to Captain AJX.

It’s your last chance to apply for a playtester role for Chamber Trials! Applications are expected to close at roughly 2am GMT / 9pm EST – so if you’re interested, you’ll need to act quickly!  You can apply here.

As mentioned in our article, upcoming YouTube lore series Autumn’s Eve is looking for builders as well as body and voice actors.  These applications are about to close too (deadline is midnight GMT / 7pm EST), so be quick if you’d like to get an application in for either role.

Sphere News is always on the hunt for new researchers and writers, but especially now with the new format of Sphere News.  We’re looking for support on both Breaking News, and our more in-depth showcase-style articles.  If you’re interested, you can find more info and the application links here.


DON’T MISS AN OPPORTUNITY

Sphere News is also on X and Bluesky for extra updates throughout the week.  We also have a Discord where we’ll be posting weekly alerts (usually on Fridays) about new articles and the latest opportunties!
