Future Additions / Preparations:

We are glad to announce our next Contest "Once Upon A Minecraft" which will be fantasy themed but based around fairy tales and mythical stories much like the stories you all learnt and were read as little kids.

For this contest you will be competing in teams of 1-6 players to create the best project that shows a fairytale theme or concept based off an existing fairy tail or an adaption of the theme to create your own fantasy fairytale.

If you and your team can provide a back story or a little lore to your build or explain your concept you will get bonus points in the voting period (max of 5 extra points).

We have also decided this time to make the plots smaller (500 x 500) and also be flatland so you all can create a fully custom project without the limitation of land we require you to use.

For more info see below

Contest Information:

Theme: Once Upon A Minecraft (create a fantasy fairytale themed project , can be modern fantasy, medieval fantasy or traditional fantasy as long as on fairytale theme)

Where: On the Contest world | play.athion.net

When: 10th August 2015 - 31st August 2015 (Times & Dates in PST)

Plot Size: Just over 500 x 500 with flatland plots

Player limit: 1-6 players per plot

Prizes: The top 3 builds will be featured a promotional video with shout outs to you and your team members. Along with this the winning build will be also featured on our PMC Account (if you wish) and have a solo video made to showcase it.

Additional prizes may be added before the contest ends but the above are guaranteed.

** Note Videos will be made when we have time and may not be out instantly or right after the contest **

We vote on a range of aspects for your builds and creations for the contest world, here is the below outline of what we look for when judging

There will be a delay on the release of the 'build an empire' videos due to issues with recording the worlds as some of the sections are unloading when I go to record.

We will however be announcing a new contest shortly that will be themed to hopefully bring in some great creative works for everyone to explore.

We will be giving more information out about this in the coming week.

We are glad to announce that we have finished judging the Build an Empire Contest. We thank all who entered as we had 178 plots claimed with about 60% having some sort of building on them.

We are glad to see that those that competed enjoyed the experience even though the plot size and the time frame may have been difficult for some as we were stress testing our system.

Now down to the important part.. the top 10 and the 1st, 2nd and 3rd placements!

New Plugins & Features:


Plugin Updates:


Permission Updates:

• Permissions added for WRG plugin for select ranks in open world(s)

General Updates:

• Addition of Second Open World for apprentices and higher
• Addition of Creator Rank and higher permissions to the old TG5 world

We are glad to announce that we have finally Released our OPEN WORLD for all users who are the rank of Apprentice or higher.

This can be found on your compass by clicking on the flower.

When you get to our open world, if you are not already at the spawn type /spawn from here you will see 2 portals, one will take you to the apprentice and higher open world and one to the creator and higher world. Walk through these portals to get to the world specific to your rank.

Once in this world you can build wherever you like as long as you have claimed a region using our claim plugin (more info can be found here on commands).

Information on our open world in its current state:

• You can build together but at this time we will not be reviewing or promoting for group builds. This due to us wanting to put in / work out a proper system to judge who build what in a group so we can properly promote all members of a build.
• To request a review on your solo build type /review request inside your region just like you would when in the plot worlds
• You can claim multiple regions next to each other to form one big region. (we do have a cap on each single region size but the size limit may change with time as we see fit.)
• Spawn region is protected, if you build near the spawn region please keep it neat and tidy.
• A list of useful commands are mentioned at the spawn of the Apprentice world for claiming your land, without claimed land you will not be able to build in the open world. This helps prevent grief issues.

If you find any issues with the open world system such as bugs or exploits or issues with commands please let us know in this thread or online

Happy Building!

We're pleased to announce that the TG2 spawn has been finished!

It was worked on by myself, Styx, @dordsor21 and @Stamog

Make sure you check it out in game! :)

We have decided to extend the "Build an Empire" contest by 1 week due to some issues with the world being down at various peak building times in during the contest.

We are extending it by 7 days as we believe this should give ample time to complete anything you wish to have done along with accomodate any other unforeseen downtime with the world.

This means the new closing date is 13th July 2015 at midnight PST time

Please spread the word to the rest of the community.

We are glad to announce our Online Server Store is open again. You can get to this store by heading over to store.athion.net or by typing /shop in our server hub to see an in game GUI that will give you links to purchase any packs we offer.

Packs will be added and removed over time so keep an eye on our website and store for more information.
