Rules
How CraftCorps events and rewards work — read this before you compete.
Reward Currencies
- Eggs — the main in-game currency. Earn it by playing Battle Royale (kills, survival, mining, crafting, damage). Spend it in the shop or wager it on live matches. Uncapped.
- Pearls — premium cosmetics currency. Uncapped.
- MCRC ticket — a progress token toward an MCRC. 5 tickets = 1 MCRC.
- MCRC (Minecraft Redeem Code) — an official prepaid voucher from Microsoft granting a Minecraft Java & Bedrock license, redeemed on Microsoft's official page. A capped lifetime prize (max 2 ever).
- Menace Cape — a cosmetic cape, awarded as a contest runner-up prize.
Monthly Video Contest
- Make a video about CraftCorps and post the YouTube link in #media. Footage must be recorded on the CraftCorps server using the Craft Client launcher (unless staff grant permission).
- Judged mainly on watch time, plus editing, storytelling and reach. AI is allowed, but excessive AI reliance lowers your score. Ties are broken by staff vote.
- Winner announced on the 24th each month (1:00 PM IST). Winner gets an MCRC or Discord Nitro (your choice); runner-up gets a Menace Cape.
- No "free Minecraft" videos, no promoting other servers or launchers, no wrong or outdated info. Winnable once, ever.
- Full schedule, submission feed and claim: see the News page.
Monthly Build Competition
- Build to the monthly theme. Non-exploit schematics and tutorials are allowed, but original work scores higher. Ties are broken by staff vote.
- Submit via the build-submission form (MC username, contributors, coordinates, up to 5 screenshots) by the 1st at 6:00 PM IST. Winner announced shortly after.
- Helpers are allowed, but the build leader must tell staff who is helping before submitting. Joining a team only to claim a reward = disqualification.
- No griefing — trying to destroy another player's build means disqualification from this and all future build competitions.
- Winner gets 1 MCRC; runner-up gets a Menace Cape. Winnable once, ever.
Battle Royale
- Matches auto-start when enough players are online. Bring whatever gear you've earned — SMP gear is fair game.
- Playing earns eggs and XP (uncapped). Winning earns MCRC tickets — 5 tickets = 1 MCRC.
- Already earned your MCRCs? Keep playing — eggs and XP never stop.
- Cheating can result in a Battle Royale ban.
Challenge of the Week
- A new auto-tracked challenge every week. Just play — the server tracks your progress.
- Everyone who completes it earns eggs and XP. It is not an MCRC path — it's a bonus for active players.
General MCRC Guidelines
- Lifetime cap: 2 MCRCs ever, across all sources including Battle Royale. After two, you're done with MCRCs (but keep earning eggs, pearls, capes and Nitro).
- 30-day cooldown between MCRC claims. Each contest is winnable once, ever.
- You must have a linked, verified account (Discord ↔ Minecraft) to enter events and claim any MCRC.
- Staff who judge an event can't win it. All wins are logged against your verified identity.
- No bypassing — using alternate or a friend's accounts to dodge the cap means a permanent event ban and loss of all progress.
- Unclaimed MCRCs expire after 30 days. Prizes are revoked if you're later caught cheating.
- Events labelled "Special Event" are exempt from the cap and cooldown.
