[EVENT] poof's Pot of Gold Hunt

Discussion in 'Public Member Events' started by poofasaurus, Mar 1, 2018.

  1. It's that green time of the year again! Usually I celebrate St. Patrick's Day in game by releasing a bunch of wild lime sheep named Shamrock into the wastelands for players to find. This year, I went a little bigger.

    I've hidden 4 Pots of Gold in the smp2 waste. That's a chest full of either gold ingots or gold blocks (poof, you shouldn't have! :eek:) as well as a few little trinkets and, of course, a Shamrock sheep. At the end of March, I'll go back and see if I can find said chests and collect my gold if it hasn't been found.

    1. Each chest is in a different biome. I'm so nice, I'll even give them to you: flower forest, regular forest, savannah, and extreme hills.
    2. Each chest is inside a lime green wool hut with a tan colored roof.
    3. Everything is above ground. Nothing is hidden below. I'm not encourage gold digging ;)
    4. There are a few false huts out there just to throw you off. But only a few.

    Please leave a holla when you've found and raided a hut.

  3. LOL.
    When you just read [EVENT] and you want to be the first to post something. xD
  4. I decided to give this a shot, followed some world borders, flew to some of the listed biomes I found on the live map, but unfortunately, I didn't find anything.
    So I took my elytra and fireworks and went the quick way back to the nearest outpost when something caught my eye...
    And there it was, a very cosy hut with lots of gold in it :D!
    I am sad to say though, Shamrock smelled his freedom and instantly ran away when I opened the door :3

    Thank you for hosting this, it has been a while since I have been on a scavenger hunt but it was fun :D.
    Also, should I mention here which one I found too (what biome)?

    Oh and I just heard a marlix spawn sound while typing this :p.

    EDIT: The one I found was in the forest biome, it was a chest of ingots :)

    Congratulations! If you'd like to share the biome, you may. That's up to you. Obviously some would be more difficult than others.

  6. Definitely going to try this out once I get back that elytra that I lost because I AFKED in a stupid spot lol
  7. Went to /waste e, and far down in a Savannah Biome I came across a Four Leaf Clover, a Lucky Villager, a Green Tunic and enough gold ingots for a lifetime. Without an elytra! :D

  8. ohhh sounds like a good time killer!

    and if you're looking to buy elytra, sage, I have 5 mending and unb3 for sale as well as one that does not have an enchant.
  9. BUMP! Still chests left! There's some SC fulll of gold blocks out there!
