Video Game Systems at RCLS: Minecraft Challenges

2018 Minecraft Challenge

You can borrow a gamekit from RCLS! http://guides.rcls.org/gamekits

Please be flexible, the kit has to come back to RCLS and then sent back out to the next library. While I tried to give enough time in between libraries, there are all kinds of anomolies in the delivery (thanks to those guys btw).

You have up to 2 weeks to have the kids collaborate. Focus on the outside first and then the inside if you have time. Make a movie tour of your creation and upload it to YouTube.

If using the kit, name the library the same as yours and save it to the hard drive.
Winner should be announced in early September.

Create an Arena, Stadium or Concert Hall
Submit Entry by September 1, 2018
Rules: Four players have 90 minutes to build an entry.
Libraries may have as many entries as they wish.
Video must be submitted for each entry (2 min. max)
Vanilla Server must be used.

I found this on a Minecraft forum and it cracked me up! Ideas for your Secret Volcano Lair

A war room with a big maps and a conference table area for my evil council of evilness
A big imposing throne room with lava walls
Evil luxury quarters for me to sleep in, evilly
A retractable dome with a big TNT-cannon super-weapon inside
Barracks for my minions and armies of darkishness
A seedy pub near the barracks to function as a break room
Squid-pool (because there are no frickin' sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their frickin' heads in Minecraft)
Mad science lab
Dungeons with torture chambers and booby traps and such (probably near the mad science lab, so as to make it more convenient to use prisoners in extremely unethical experiments)
Volcano
Computer room
Monorail system
Storage Warehouse
Secret escape route
Security checkpoint near the entrance, to keep those pesky heroes out
Hanger for evil vehicles such as planes and tanks and such (not actual usable vehicles, obviously)
Main reactor
Missile silo (possibly in the volcano)
Armory
Underground bunker
TV studio for broadcasting my threats to the UN, or every TV in the world, or whatever, complete with high tech broadcasting equipment
Kennel for the hounds, which I can release
Place to do evil culty rituals with my evil cult
Surveillance room
