Snowball Factory
Infered5 built a factory designed to make the realm's most lethal snowballs.
Opening Presents

There are so many creative, funny, and amazing builds that you all have created! We are overwhelmed with joy and excitement to see what else you all are capable of.
Tips & Tricks for building in Minecraft
We wanted to share some tips and tricks on how to build amazing things! Here are some things to think about when you are drafting your build.
- Elevation
Different levels of elevation and height transforms a build to the next level – making it feel more natural and a part of the world. - Detail
Incorporate detail in the small things. A grandiose build is extravagant because of the detail put into things you might not see right away. - Be creative
It is easier said than done; however, explore your mind and do something you might not have initially thought of. Your best ideas are never your first! - Try anything
If you have a wild idea that might seem crazy, it doesn't hurt to try! After all, you can submit more than one build into the competition ;).
Useful Commands
- Change weather:
/plot flag add weather <sun/lightning/rain/storm/thunder/clear> - Add music:
