Hello Tributes,


Today, we are proud to announce our most recent mapping contest:

The MCGamer Quarter-Quell Map Contest!


About the Contest:


As in the game itself, teams must compete against one another in order to triumph in the competition. But other than that, how you approach the contest is up to you.


The contest begins on (4th October 2014) and will be active until 11:59 PM (GMT) on (25th October 2014). During those (14) (no more, no less) days, the build teams must build their map submission. Good style and form will win over sightseers, but good gameplay and structure is needed to win over players. The best maps must blend both form and function together if it is to have any chance of winning; every map must play as well as it looks.


All contest submissions must be posted (Here)

Please follow that link and make a new thread for your map.


  • Each thread should include a Poll with one choice called “Vote for this Map!”; this poll will be used to select the community’s top 25 maps.

  • Once we have the community’s top 25 the judges will pick the winning 3 much in the way the kit pvp contest.

  • Map submission threads must include the names of any and all people or teams associated with making the submitted map.

  • Be sure to include a full detail of your map’s general info, such as its theme, its size, any special features it may have, and any additional details you wish to include.
  • Each thread MUST have a download link to the map.
About the Judging:


The submissions will close on (insert date here). Upon which the judging will begin. The judges will grade on the following rubric:

  • Style
  • Gameplay
  • Creativity
  • Noteworthy Features

The following players will act as judges:
Map Requirements:


  1. The total map radius must be 200 blocks or more.

  2. Must have a clock shape at spawn with lights to show the active segment.

  3. Must have an open cornucopia so people can run to it to escape the segment.

  4. Each map must be built with the game type in mind remember QQ is a player versus environment based game-type.

  5. Each map must contain structures, organics, etc No flat worlds.

  6. Each map must be submitted with the exact radius you give on the thread so we can put the force field in

  7. In addition, you must tell us the radius of the cornucopia area, as this is used within QQ's programming.

  8. Each map must be completely original i.e. not taken from other pre-existing maps.

  9. Construction of each map must be started during the competition’s duration, not before; if you have been working on an map before the contest was announced, you may not use it.

The Judges reserve the right to reject any map for any reason, for example but not limited to; if a map fails to meet the map requirements or if a build team demonstrates unacceptably poor conduct.
