GazerCraft Comeback

GazerCraft is making a comeback!  

What would you like to see?  The return of the old map or would you like to make a brand new one?

Vote on the above poll!

The Weekly Gaze

I received no submissions so once again the Weekly Gaze has been postponed for next week!

The spotlight is still on player-made fishing ponds!

2. Once you think you've found it, hit F3 on your keyboard to bring up the coordinates. 
3. Jot down the coordinates for X, Y, and Z on a piece of scrap paper (make sure you correctly identify if they're negative coordinates!).
4. Write a letter to Otter by typing the following command:

The Weekly Gaze

The Weekly Gaze

No entries were submitted for this week's Weekly Gaze!  Noooooo!

In that case, let's up the motivation a bit, shall we? The spotlight is still on Fishing Ponds. The prize is still an enchanted Fishing Rod! To complete the theme, though, I am throwing in an Aqua Affinity, Underwater breathing leather armor set! 

Hmm. Maybe I should compete too . . . 

Wednesday Where Am I? Winner!

No one has won this week's Where Am I challenge!  We are upping the ante! In addition to the fireworks, minecarts, and tracks, the winner will also receive a saddle and a name tag!

Preparing for the 1.8 Update!

Just a couple of notes about the release of 1.8.  Mojang is currently saying it will be available September 2nd.  Please be aware that GazerCraft may not be able to update on that exact day.  We do need to make sure that our plugins (like MyHorse, DiscoveryWarps, Lockette, etc.) are able to successfully update to 1.8 as well.  GazerCraft may have to wait a couple extra days, but we'll make it worth your while!  When we do update to 1.8 we'll have a party!  The festivities will include: 

• A firework celebration
• A 1.8 prize pack for everyone who logs in
• Banner making competition
• Expanded world border! 
• (We'll go from a 3000 block diameter from spawn to 8000!)
• Festival Announcement
• Outpost Announcement

Firework Show!

Please join us for our Mod Appreciation Firework Show to honor Min, Punisher, and Tana! Meet us at the Twilight Arena (x:2531, y:107, z:806) today at noon Pacific Time OR when the below timer runs out:

The Weekly Gaze

The Weekly Gaze

Greetings Gazers! This week we are featuring Basements!

First up we have Punisher and his basement storage area.

"Not every house has to take up a lot of room on the surface, some of the best homes utilize the ground beneath them. This home's basement has all the storage and tools any player would need, making this home truly a home base for mine craft operations."

That's it for this week's weekly gaze! The winner is: ThePunisher1028! Congrats! Your prize will be available in Z's office at spawn shortly! 

Next week's contest is featuring Fishing Ponds. The Prize will be an enchanted Fishing Rod! 

Remember that anyone can enter into the Weekly Gaze! 

*Note that the pond has to be man-made or altered in some way (bridge, deepened, etc.)

Firework Show

The server has been poppin' lately and it's thanks to our lovely moderators!  To celebrate our wonderful staff and boost in activity, we're going to have a firework show in their honor! Come celebrate Min, Punisher, and Tana!

The show will take place at the Twilight Arena (x:2531, y:107, z:806).  It will begin at 12:30pm 12:00pm Wednesday, August 20th, Pacific Standard Time.  Here's a nifty Time Zone Converter for you to use.  We will make plenty of announcements around that time and we will wait until it's night time in game.

Server Cleanup

We're in the process of doing a server clean up. This does NOT mean you may alter player builds/chests -- doing so is still against the rules.  It just means that we're demoting inactive towns, disabling* inactive Discovery Warp plates, and removing offices to make room for new, active players.

*If you have previously discovered a Discovery Warp, but it has now been disabled due to inactivity, you can still use it.  Disabling just means it won't appear when using '/dw list' and new players won't be able to discover it. 

Wednesday Where Am I? Winner!

Our latest Wednesday winner is Punisher from Sanctuary! Congratulations! The location was just outside of Mourningwood, a forgotten settlement.

New Poll!

Last week we asked about a new plugin, which sadly had some bugs.  While that gets resolved, consider our newest poll: What is the best way to travel?
