To celebrate reaching 30 million downloads we present you the Colony Style Competition. In a nutshell, the idea is to take existing styles and replace their main blocks with alternative blocks. With a special focus on using blocks from other mods.
First we'll quickly talk about the amazing prizes we got sponsored from Bisect.
You can watch a video on Youtube explaining the competition
You paste in an existing style, which can be done with the following command:
/structurize pasteFolder <x> <y> <z> <style.name> <folder.name> <rotation> <playername(or @p)> <mirror> <prettypaste> 32
x
, y
, z
are the coordinates you want to start pasting the style, style.name
is the name of the style, where words are separated by periods. folder.name
is the name of one folder that could be pasted, with periods instead of slashes or backslashes. Rotation
is a number from 0 to 3 (inclusive), with the amount of times it needs to be rotated 90 degrees. The playername
is the name of the one that would be pasting (which could be important for e.g. permissions). mirror
is either true
(mirrored) or false
, and the same holds for prettypaste
. The 32 denotes the plot size, which needs to be 32 such that every building fits on the plot. (For this style competition you want to use 0 rotation, no mirror, no prettypaste (false)).
e.g. /structurize pasteFolder x y z Medieval.Oak agriculture.horticulture 0 Dev false false 32
would paste in all plant-based Medieval Oak buildings without rotation or mirror at the specified coordinate for the player "Dev"
You can then use the scan tool to mark multiple buildings, replace some of the main blocks. The Scan Tool page has more information about that. Afterwards you should go through and make sure lanterns, doors, etc are still in place.
You are also allowed to do more profound changed than this, but keep in mind you only have 2 weeks to do this.
We require as a minimum to have the complete "Fundamentals" folder finished and a Guard tower & Barracks . However, a more complete style will result in a better grade, so keep that in mind.
Then you scan in the buildings. Check out the schematics page in this regard
You'll then find the schematics in the blueprints folder, which you then bundle as a zip and send us over discord in the #competition-submission channel until Saturday 15th (inclusive)
You are allowed to join in the competition in a team of up to three people. While pre-registration is over you can sign up at this link and pick up to three mods out of the list below (also linked in the form).
Note: While you can pick up to three mods, keep in mind that the more mods you use, the less compatible your style will be with most modpacks, so make sure you stick to the more popular mods. Also keep in mind you can have optional mods, that is, if you use certain deco blocks and the mod is not installed, they will just become air which is also fine.
