    Elytra Course Tour on October 22nd, 2023 at 4:30 PM (EMC time)
    It's time to spread your wings and fly! Craft an epic elytra course and challenge the community to soar through the skies. :D

    Deadline: September 23rd, 2023 at 11:59 PM (EMC time)

    Guidelines:
    • You may work in teams of up to three players. If a team wins, each member on the team will receive the prize for the position they placed in.
    • The start and end of the elytra course must be clearly indicated. If additional instructions are needed to clarify the path of the course, please make sure to include them.
    • The elytra course must fit within a 120 x 120 block area.
    • The elytra course must be built somewhere on EMC. Locations of the elytra courses will be publicly released, so make sure it's in a place you are okay with other people visiting!
    • You may only submit one elytra course.
    Prizes:
    • 1st Place: 250,000 rupees and an additional prize -- name to be determined.
    • 2nd Place: 100,000 rupees
    • 3rd Place: 50,000 rupees
    • A prize will be sent out to ALL participants who qualify (actually give effort). That item is still in the decision phase.
    Judging:
    • The entries will be judged by members of the staff team, and a community vote will also be held via the forums.
    • The winners will be determined by a combination of the community vote and staff input.
    Submit your elytra course here: https://forms.gle/8uUSRD8SD9d1BmTG9

  3. maybe a sugestion but a elitra that leaves a trail for exsample the warden shoot particles but u cant lose it so its soulbound and u can maybe add enchants and it does not have to be unbreacckeble since elitras cant break or like break to lose the item

  4. This sounds like a blast for a contest. I just wish I hadn't seen it 9 days before the end. I know this sorta can't be built on the SMPs unless you got 4 res's in a square so the frontier? Can you make it on a Utopia res? I may not hit the deadline but I am thinking about building something even if it is late for the contest. Sounds like fun work. I been looking for something new to do anyway. Edit: I can't count. 7 days. lol

  19. Thank you all so much for your participation in the Elytra Course Contest! All of the entries were so unique and fun to fly through. :D It was a very close call, but our winners are...


    MissBonnieParker, GreenMeanie, and TheCritic are in 3rd place with their very unique dropper-like elytra course!



    SteamingFire glided into second place with a classic elytra course that goes up, down, and allllll around!



    Congratulations to Trwe! Their submission was a winter-themed elytra course that provided a fun challenge. :D

  20. Are the courses open for players to visit? If so, what are the residence addresses? I'm bad at elytra but I'd still like to see them! :D
