Humble News, Volume 5

Humble Goals

A new chapter is unfolding in HumbleCraft, and this one smells faintly of ancient dust and adventure. As interest in our world continues to grow, the Humbugs have officially stepped into the roles of archaeologists and investigators, diving beneath the ground, oceans, and ruins to uncover hidden stories. Rare artifacts are now the treasures of the server, Music Discs echoing forgotten battles, elusive Armor Trims shimmering with clan identity, and precious Sherds piecing together civilizations long past. The dig sites are open, the brushes are ready, and Humble history is waiting to be discovered.

Humble Clans?!

Answer the call to color with Humble Clans! The fun starts in March. Read more about it and choose your clan!

Election Day!

Mark your calendars, Humbugs!!! Voting for HumbleCraft Project Manager (HPM) will take place March 10th at Spawn. Polls open bright and early and close at the end of the day, so be sure to exercise your digital citizen rights before the sun sets on election night. Campaign season has certainly been lively, with a few candidates enthusiastically distributing “informational materials” and perhaps the occasional suspiciously generous gift, through the Humble Post Office. Voting will be anonymous and results will be kept secret until voting closes. Cast your vote for the Humbug you believe will best support and organize the server while bringing some beauty and a community feel as well!

Humble News Station Coming Soon

Construction chests are placed and scaffolding is climbing skyward! We’ve officially broken ground on the Humble News Station! Conveniently located near Spawn (-393, -35), this soon-to-be media powerhouse will gather stories from every corner of the server using our state-of-the-art antenna and a newly commissioned (and highly fuel-efficient) news van. From server-wide updates and election coverage to clan activities and the occasional hard-hitting investigation, no headline will go uncovered. Keep your eyes peeled for the grand opening… just as soon as we, you know… actually finish building it.

A Few New Wonders

A few new wonders have quietly joined the Seven Wonders Exhibit, and they’re already turning heads. After years of standing proudly for freedom, Lady Liberty has finally succumbed to the elements and oxidized under the pressure, a true copper queen. She may be small in stature, but that only makes her more relatable to the people she represents. And rising nearby is the legendary Lighthouse of Alexandria, reimagined block by block in HumbleCraft glory. A beacon for explorers, late-night boaters, and anyone who inevitably gets lost 15 blocks from spawn.

First Humble Treasure Hunt

This coming Saturday at 1:00 PM PST will be the first Humble Treasure Hunt. Keep your eyes on the blog and social media for a secret treasure map to be reveled. The first one to solve the puzzle and reach the treasure can claim it!

Scary Skeletons

The spookiest skeleton farm in all the land is now open for visits! Please drop in for a self-guided tour; and be sure to take some bones home with you.
