Welcome to Minecraft World! Check out our tutorials, post to the community corkboard, and come play on our free server!

Friday is finally here, and that can only mean one thing... Weekly Staff Choice Awards! Although this was only the first week of the Choice Awards, we had so many worthy entries! The staff went around to all of the new builds and compiled a great list of the best for the week.

If you didn't win this week, don't fret! We will be doing the Weekly Staff Choice Awards every single week. If you would like to know what prizes will be given out for the Staff Choice Awards, check out the latest Weekly Challenge post to see what perks you could win! The prizes given out for the the Weekly Staff Choice Awards will always be the same as the prizes for the Weekly Challenge.

For next week, if you would like to enter your build, please do so by posting a video, screenshots, and some information about your build to the community corkboard.

You can also message me (Maroselis) in-game if you would like to recommend someone else for that week! If I'm not in game at the time, just type "/mail send Maroselis [And your message here] " (without the quotes). Please try to include the coordinates of the build you're recommending to make it easier for me to find it! Hit f3 in game to see your current coordinates.
