Hey everyone, here to announce the winners of Spooky Springs.

• 🥇 1st Place: A tie!

  • @JoshRallus and @SojuBurns!

  • @Nate!

• 🥉 3rd Place: @J1mbers!

Thanks everyone for voting and congrats to the top 3! You'll find two bundles in your ender chests - one with the standard prizes and two charms (Treat Bag and Pumpkin Mask), and another containing a stack of Halloween treats. All other entrants should have one bundle with the standard prizes and a Treat Bag. If it didn't fit in your ender chest, it's in your inventory instead.

🍄‍🟫Spooky Springs Voting

• Now that the build phase is complete, you can go vote for your top 3 Spooky Springs plots.

• To vote, stand in a plot and use `/halloween vote <1st, 2nd, or 3rd>`. Tab completion is available.

• You can change your votes freely by re-casting them, and you don't need to vote for all 3 placements. You can't vote for your own plot.

• Thanks to all who have entered!

Hey everyone. Here to give a quick reminder and update on Spooky Springs and a few general updates.

🍄‍🟫Spooky Springs

• Reminder that there's still about 12 days for Spooky Springs, which is plenty of time to make a build. A number of plots are still open!

• We've also decided to add some prizes. These are in addition to the standard and special prizes already announced:

  • 🎃The top 3 builds will earn the Pumpkin Mask charm, which grants -20% detection range and stops Endermen from angering at your sight.

  • 🍬ALL entrants will receive the Treat Bag charm, which allows mobs to sometimes drop Halloween treats even outside of the season.

• We recently doubled the build contest entry prize to 50k silver and 4 Badges of Valor. A simple Spooky Springs build gets you both of those and a Treat Bag!

Hey everyone. Been a bit, but we've got a sizeable update including a new game version, our Halloween content for the year, and some general updates!

🤖The Copper Age

❗ We've updated to 1.21.10, The Copper Age game drop, which includes Copper Golems who can sort your loot, copper decor, armor, and tools, and shelf blocks. On SSS, Copper Golems have unique head drops for each oxidation stage and can sort loot into barrels. Copper is not yet usable with Impetus of Hephaestus. Enjoy!

Blood Moons are a special event that can activate during the Halloween season on Silver Springs.

• 🌕When a full moon rises in the survival or resource world, a Blood Moon activates - a sleepless night of dangerous foes.

• 🌑Enemies which spawn under the light of the Blood Moon are stronger and drop better loot:

  • 🩻Wither Skeletons with fiery bows and Zombified Piglins spawn in the overworld throughout the night.

  • 💪These enemies, and all others, are bigger, stronger, and faster. Creepers explode in a wider radius, leaving behind enfeebling clouds.

  • 🦾Empowered enemies drop additional XP, uncommonly an occult item (same pool as Dowsing Thumb), and rarely the Sanguine Phial charm.

• 🩸The Sanguine Phial stacks at double rate for kills during Blood Moons.

Spooky Springs is a communal build contest run during the Halloween season:

📖Overview:

• The event takes place in a gloomy mushroom cave at `/warp SpookySprings`.

• The cave contains 20 plots. Approach one and right click the sign on its front wall to claim it for free. You can only claim one plot.

• Plots are 17x61x17, extending 30 blocks up and down. Your entire contest entry must be contained within this space.

• If you want to build with a friend, stand in your plot and use `/as addfriend <name>` to give them permission to build there.

• You all then help decide the winners! After the build period, you'll have 2 days to vote for your top 3 plots. You can't vote for your own.

  • Details on how to vote will be sent once the build phase ends.
