Hey guys,

We just launched a new build event – the goal this time is to build a building for the server-wide shop.

We’re getting a shiny new chest and sign shop plugin, similar in design to Showcase. You’ll be able to create your own shops and determine your own prices. And when you need to buy something, you either head for the unlimited server-wide shop or search for a user owned shop for better prices. We hope this will get our economy back and running properly – making protecting your buildings and getting materials a lot easier and fun.

The shop building will be near the main world spawn, but there are no style restrictions whatsoever. We hope we’ve learned from the first build event, and with this one the boxes should never run out – we have 360 boxes for you to build in!

Again, the event will last around a week, and there will be 3-4 days where you’ll be able to vote for the builds.

Interested? Type /event info ingame.

As for the old event, we have a clear winner – SpartaQS. Congratulations! His spawn will be used for this reset of the nether.

The nether will be remade at some time this week.

p.s. This is not an april fools joke!

The build event is now over! We had an exciting time this week, and I believe it went out pretty good for our first one. Sure, there were some problems at the beginning but we’d like to thank you all who participated for helping us test and improve everything.
There will be a new event very soon, and we’ve made sure there will be no issues like we had on this one – 360 cubes should be enough for everybody. Right?

So, without further adieu, here are the links:

Results and prizes

Vote for the new spawn

Hey guys! We’re starting our first build competition – for the nether spawn, and we need you!
What are those build competitions – you get a 80x80x80 cube to build in, in a special flat world with creative mode and infinite items.
The event will last for up to 2 weeks, and the winners will get:
The new Builder rank – which gets the abilities of a regular plus item spawning in all worlds.
Up to 5000$ ingame money.
We’ll award the best builds based on user and staff votes, and use them throughout Icecraftia with proper credit.
The best build will be used as a base for the updated nether spawn.

The topic is the nether spawn, but there are no style limitations as to what you can build – the only limit is your imagination.
If you have any questions or issues related to the events, feel free to ask in the forum topic.
In case you win, we’ll contact you ingame so be sure to come around.

How to join the events:
Type /event join
You’ll get teleported to your own personal cube in the competition world, where you’ll get creative mode.
You can enter and leave anytime (use /event back or /warp spawn to go back)
Note: You can’t use /spawn, /home, /sethome, /setwarp, /tp, /call and other similar commands in this world.
For more help type /event ingame.

Hi guys,

We’ve got a bunch of new features lately:
At first, the referral links: You can refer players in IceCraft by making them follow an unique link and registering.
By doing that, you’ll both earn prizes – you receive $100 ingame. The person you referred needs to play for 4 hours and he’ll get $50 in-game money and 2 random items from this list – 5 glowstone, 2 diamonds, 1 iron pickaxe, 1 iron chestplate, 32 logs, 24 dark logs, 48 melon slices, 1 scary record (11), 10 ice blocks or 20 glass.
For more info visit the referrals page.

We’ve developed a shiny new ban plugin aswell, which allows us to have temporary bans! As a result, all bans have been reset. From now on, permanent bans will be a lot rarer. There will be a better way to appeal them in the near future.

The donator world’s spawn has been revamped, and it sure is awesome! Be sure to check out the new builds that our donators have made aswell, they’re amazing.

There will be build events in the next week or so aswell – you’ll get dropped in your own private cube with full creative mode to unleash your full potential! Winners will receive the much anticipated Builder rank as well as ingame money.

Expect more updates soon!

Hi guys, illusion9 here!

As you may have noticed, IceCraft is now 100 slots! That means more room for you and your friends.
The spawn has been entirely revamped, and the rules have been simplified and squashed in a map – go get one at /rules, they’re fun!

The other large change is the addition of multiworlds – IceCraft now has 4 worlds in total – Icecraftia, the main world we all know and love, skylands – the floating wonderland that some of you might remember from 1.8 times, the nether that we all know, and a donator world! Yes, a world entirely for donators, without any griefing at all, with a custom, awesome terrain generator like nothing you’ve seen before. Donators get full item spawning permissions and Donator+ get full creative mode. Whoa!

Check the worlds out at /warp portals

Another change is the scheduled reset of the nether – since it’s our free-for-all, grief map, it gets ugly pretty quickly and resources run out. To remedy that, we’ll be resetting the nether every 2 or so weeks.

Two new ranks will be added shortly – Junior Mods and Builders. Builder ranks will be earned by participating in the events and building contests we have planned in the near future. There will be build contests for the best nether, skylands and donator world spawns.

The site hasn’t been forgotten also, with a shiny player list being added on the side. Other changes to come!

Invite a friend over to Icecraft! Spread the word, vote for us at minestatus and most importantly, have fun!

Stay tuned for more updates!

May joy and happiness snow on you
May the bells jingle for you
May Santa be extra good to you!

Merry Christmas!

It’s winter time on IceCraft! Everything is a snowy wonderland, and gifts are waiting for you under the Christmas tree! Check out /warp merry_christmas

Icecraft has just made another small step to reach out to the world with a new official Twitter account.
