Winter 2021 Treasure Chest item Design competition

• Use /server creative then /warp treasure to make items.
• Use /customitem in-game to learn how
• Theme is Vikings
• Entry end date is Oct 21st 2021
• Treasure Chest release date is 21st Dec 2021
• Prize is 30 keys plus 5 keys for each additional item in the chest
• You also get the prize of your name being added to the treasure chest for everyone to see, this will be attached to this crate forever.

If you missed the news, I created an entire creative world with in-game tutorials, example kit items to re-name and edit, in-game tutorial items, copy & paste templates and a detailed website guide page on following the Treasure format for PirateCraft (So its clean, universal and easy to understand for everyone, instead of just random item colors and random lore)

 

What do we have to create?

This is a competition to name items (Any Minecraft items/Custom heads that are not OP like elytra) and write lore for it to go into the Vikings themed Winter Treasure Chest 2021!

It’s that simple, Name And lore, if it’s a weapon it will also need enhancements picked! This is all done on a custom /server creative plot world /warp treasure and I have already made examples to copy & paste aswell as /kits on creative to use as reference or edit.

 

What’s the theme?

Vikings!

Pick any Viking lore, there is a lot around the origins of Winter holidays from Viking history!

 

What can I win?

If you get your item(s) added to the Treasure Chest you will get:

1. 30 Keys for the Treasure Chest + 5 additional key for each item you get added
2. Your name added to the Credit of the treasure chest for everyone to see, forever linked to this one of a kind chest!

 

What items need to be created?

Not many at all, these could all be made within a few hours!

• 3 legendary
• 4 epic
• 5 rare
• 7 uncommon
• 9 common items

 

How do I get started?

1. /server creative
2. /warp treasure OR /spawn then right-click the Treasure NPC.
3. Find any empty plot and do /plot claim
4. Read the tutorials via /customitem and use /kit customitems for item based tutorial!
   1. The three commands to make items are /itemname, /itemlore & /enchant
   2. The BEST way to make your custom item(s) is to use my copy & paste examples on the treasure page https://piratemc.com/guides/treasure/#ib-toc-anchor-17

Tips:

• Use /kits on creative for examples you can edit, or understand what type of item needs to be created based on its rarity.
• Read the detailed treasure guide https://piratemc.com/guides/treasure/
• At the bottom of the treasure page are copy & paste templates for items! This is the quickest way to design entirely custom items, by using my templates!

 

What is the format(s) these items need to be in?

See the treasure page for more information or look at the /kits.

The item name needs to be the same colors as the rarity the item is going to be (You pick what rarity).

The item lore also has specific colors for each lore, you can check in /treasure at any time. Then we have spacers between information, we have a small italic pirate flag with the event the items from, then we explain how the user can obtain that item, so in a few years time, if someone finds this item they can instantly understand where/how it was created (Unlike a lot of old event items).

You need to submit 2 items

For the treasure chest we need 2 item versions, A display item for the Treasure chest and then the actual item the player gets.

Tip: Make sure to save your /itemlore commands in a text file, then you will be able to easily go back and edit/copy & paste them onto a new item!

Heres a copy and paste example using my own copy & paste format from the treasure guide page using my Aztec Gold as a Epic item as the item you receive from the Treasure chest.

/itemname &6Aztec Gold

/itemlore 1 &eCurse of the Aztec Gold
/itemlore 2 &eTaken from the stone chest
/itemlore 3 &eOf 882 pieces of Aztec gold
/itemlore 4
/itemlore 5 &8⚑&o Winter 2021
/itemlore 6
/itemlore 7 &f&lRARITY
/itemlore 8 &6▌ ✪✪✪✪
/itemlore 9
/itemlore 10 &f&lHOW TO OBTAIN
/itemlore 11 &6▌ Summer Treasure Chest &f/treasure

Which will look like this in-game

 

Then you can duplicate the item by using your middle mouse button, and you can edit the 11th line and add lines 12-16 to create the display item for the treasure chest!

 

/itemname &6Aztec Gold

/itemlore 1 &eCurse of the Aztec Gold
/itemlore 2 &eTaken from the stone chest 
/itemlore 3 &eOf 882 pieces of Aztec gold
/itemlore 4

/itemlore 13 &6▌ Store &f/donate
/itemlore 14
/itemlore 15 &e&nPurchase keys @ piratemc.com/donate
/itemlore 16

Which gives you this in game!

I want to make an item have enchants that go above the default top values!

Staff have the ability to add this to an item, you will have to request what you would like them to change (we cannot set attributes).

This is designed on purpose to get players to focus entirely on following formatting guidelines and thinking about names/lore & enchants on items without making anything too complex! Keep it simple! Keep it fun!

 

I’ve made items, how do I submit them?

1. In your plot use /plot done. This creates a list of submitted items in a list with /plot list done.
2. Submit your items for review to the Discord Channel labelled “winter_treasure_enties“.
   1. Submit your plot ID with a
   2. Screenshot of the item you created so people can check its format, and check its in theme with the competition.
      ! Make sure you have made both versions of an item, the Display item and the version that a player will get!

 

I messed up! how can I edit my plot again?

You simply need to do /plot continue

 

How long will this competition stay open?

Until 31st October 2021.

 

Rules

1. Item names & Lore cannot contain player names or inside jokes
2. Item have to follow the treasure format and rarity guidelines
3. Don’t write fake enchantments like Knockback 1000, you can, however, write fake enchantment related to the lore of the item, for my Curse of the Aztec Gold example you could write a fake enchantment as lore as “Curse of heathen gods” as this is related to its lore.

 

Schedule & Future Treasure Chests

I would like this to be a properly scheduled event for each season, I’ve used https://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/seasons.html to pick dates for universal seasons for PirateCraft to give us dates when we should make the next set of Treasure Chests and when the old ones need to come down!

We will be pushed for the last few weeks of summer, but I’ve done the hard work (I’ve already done drop rates and I’ve already made a template file! I just need items, where I’ve made a treasure world!)

• Summer 2021 – Starts 21st June
• Autumn 2021 starts 22nd September (Treasure Chest already made!)
• Current Season – Winter 2021, 21nd December (This is this competition!)
• Spring 2022, 20th March
