Playing In Competitive Minecraft Tournaments

By Mona Moody


Minecraft tournaments are a new way for players to experience the creativity and action that makes the game great. There are a number of different competitions that gamers can enter and compete in, from building giant homes to huge versions of celebrities or other icons of popular culture. The easy of joining and rising up the ranks makes these game tourneys exceptionally fun for veteran players.

Popular internet imageboards and forums often host the biggest and most prestigious games around. Private and casual servers also abound, and are great for practice. To get into larger tournaments, players may need to have had experience with lesser-known servers and be able to demonstrate their skills. Tourneys typically happen at least once a week, with larger games being every month or so.

Server operators usually have a set of rules that are imposed on both casual and competitive games. These rules are built to make sure that everyone is having a good time and playing fairly with one another. Specific tournament rules can also be put in place for practice games, so that everyone knows exactly what is expected of them. With outstanding rules, cheaters are easy to spot and reprimand.

A popular and common challenge is the building challenge. This game is perfect for creative types who are into designing and creating projects in game. While each tourney has their own objectives, most involve creating a virtual home or giant representation of a famous person or video game character. Pop culture references are a surefire way to garner attention to building contests. Verification comes in the form of the file, or "seed", which allows server operators to check that all rules were in place.

Tourneys can get much more elaborate than the basic building and obstacle course themes. Many times, there are more stringent standards that must be met in order for gamers to win the prize. Specific quest objects include creating an in-game calendar to building the best interpretation of a celebrity or other famous icon. Another popular building goal is to create architecture from the real world.

Obstacle courses make for great fun to both participate in and watch. Online livestreams put up by server operators allows non-players to watch the action as it unfolds. Death traps and hard to reach areas are implemented in order to effectively slow the player down, forcing them to think creatively about how to pass. Tricky to navigate and hard to survive, the player that completes the course first or with the best average time will win the prize.

Most servers are run by private individuals or a small group of people who want to host games. In order to stay online, many servers have purchasing options for players, from in-game merchandise to real world clothing and accessories. Showing support means that the server operators will have a better chance at continuing to livestream and host games for players around the world.

The personal benefit of Minecraft tournaments is that they are not only competitive, but great fun for new and old players. Both creative types and hardcore veterans can enjoy a large tournament, if only to better their own skills and techniques. Workshops before and after a tourney can help new players who are struggling with certain objectives.
