"The Dragons" Cow Hockey Arena - 3015

Discussion in 'Share Your EMC Creations' started by ItsMeMatheus, Nov 6, 2017.


  1. Welcome to "The Dragons" Cow Hockey Arena at 3015!

    It all started in 2012.

    Elite, shade554 and myself were all at the old 3027's roof, Elite's first Ice Palace design on EMC. We were messing around with spawn eggs, as we decided to spawn lots of cows in a 1x1 space. Once we broke one of the surrounding blocks, the cows went flying everywhere, as they slid on the ice. We noticed that pushing them made them move like a ball, so we started playing soccer ("kicking" a cow to one another). One thing led to another and the nearby residence, 3015 (which I owned already), had new building plans - A place where you could play cow hockey.

    The first design was started around September, 2012 (earliest screenshot I have with a partial design) and took around 3 months of building. Once the residence was finished, I ran the first (and only so far) Cow Hockey Tournament, with a whopping prize of 20,500r to the winners. This design already featured the "He's a Pirate" noteblock song, as well as a pretty hard parkour (only ever got like 5 winners), inspired by audifan's parkour on a nearby res.

    Oldest screenshot I have of me building the first design - Notice the incomplete roof in the minimap. Also something rare at the time - Only 1 person logged onto SMP2


    The residence's outside. The Pirate head was a chilling out room, the pumpkin had part of the parkour and the cow was a storage room.


    The inside! The ice itself hasn't changed much since!


    The second design came from a wish to expand the arena, making it occupy the whole res, and then add a simple minecart ride, as an additional visual, to the noteblock song. I made this design a map art, too, as a way of advertising the residence. It was finished around August, 2014.

    I joined the Contribution Team around that same time and the staff team shortly after (January, 2015), and as I was happy with the design (at the time), I left it there. After my 2016 break, I returned to Minecraft and my first idea was to redesign 3015, as it truly looked like a glowstone monster rather than a stadium lol

    As I started thinking, I noticed the dragon at 3016, which I had no use for so far. Since I wanted 3015 to be a bigger thing, I took the theme and created the whole dragons idea. The best part is it's right next to a bunch of Krysyy's residences, so the actual dragon lives next to "The Dragons"!

    The third and current design has a new ride for the "He's a Pirate" song, a room with rules and information for those interested in playing, which were updated to fix some issues I've had in the past, new fireworks for both teams, advertisers' maps (Pizza Hat and Rad Bull) and even a way for the players watching to cheer for a team!



    Cow hockey is a really simple game! All you have to do is push a cow into the other team's goal.

    • A game consist of two players on each team and lasts 5 minutes. If the game is tied after that time, the next team to score wins.
    • Once you join your team, there will be a chest with armor and a stick, renamed "Hockey Stick". You may grab a set of armor and a stick. The armor acts like a uniform, so you must wear it at all times while playing. Once the game is finished, please return the armor to the chest. The stick doesn't do anything and is entirely optional. It's there for cosmetic reasons, and you may keep it after the game.
    • You may not use any items other than the ones you were given.
    • There are situations where the cow might get stuck in a corner. In that case, the referee (usually myself) will eggify the cow and respawn it at the closest mark. Marks are the red carpet next to places where the cow might get stuck.
    • Playing passively for too long (not attempting to score) is not allowed. If a team is considered to be doing so, the opposing team's score will be increased by 1 point.
    • If you wish to play, send me a PM in game or on the forums!


    There is a lot more to the res than just Hockey!

    "The Burning Pirate" Minecart ride and noteblock song - The greed of the Pirates lead to a dreadful fate. Discover the place where it all happened while enjoying Taylor Davis' "He's a Pirate", from the Pirates of the Caribbean, played on noteblocks!

  15. The secret adventure, although incomplete, may be opening soon! Major renovations will be needed for future updates, so I might open what I have and offer some cool prizes (spoilers: it's a very hard adventure). Teaser pic of level 2.
    It's currently hidden below 4 residences, but the final thing will require more space.

    Stay tuned for more details!
