Last month’s building contest had a few issues that need addressing. One player built a structure that extended into another player’s area, which caused confusion and a minor argument. This happened because the contest rules didn’t clearly define personal space boundaries, and there wasn’t a system in place to check for overlaps before the contest ended.
Moderators noticed that some players were using items not allowed in the contest, like enchanted tools and rare building blocks. This wasn’t caught early enough because the rules weren’t reviewed with the moderators beforehand, and there was no checklist for pre-approval of builds.
To prevent future issues, the rules have been updated with clearer guidelines on personal space, a list of approved building materials, and a check-in process for moderators to review builds before they’re finalized. A simple map overlay has also been added to help players visualize boundaries during the contest.
These changes should make the contest fairer and more enjoyable for everyone. It’s important that all participants and moderators are familiar with the new rules before the next event. We’ll be sending a reminder and a short summary to the community channel in the coming days.
