Writing Competition
As you may know we have hosted a writing competition. We let the community vote and decide which of the submissions is the best. They have decided, and this story written by @Lyri has won. Have fun reading it, I'm sure you'll like it!CubeCraft Winter SkyWars Tournament
I thrust my iron sword deep into his chest, watching as his smug smile dissolved into an expression of horror. I didn't waste any time, not even turning back to watch as his lifeless body plummeted into the freezing void. My face flushed as the wind's icy fingers clawed at my skin. But I continued moving forward, because I didn't have time to worry about the cold. I had a game to win.Three days earlier…
It was the first of December in CubeCraft. Holiday cheer seemed to float through the city, which was no surprise, as the design team had gone all out with the decorations this year. Glowing lights were strung elegantly between snow-topped buildings. There were piles of presents in vivid colours, and giant candy canes propped up in heaps of glittering snow. Everywhere I looked, people were smiling and laughing, eating candy and sharing presents…
I leaned back against the city's grand fountain, casually scrolling through the messages on my phone. At first it was just the usual: "Hey, how are you?" or, "Fancy playing a game of Minerware?" There were even a few friends wishing me a merry Christmas twenty-four days too early. I smiled to myself and was about to reply, but then my eyes landed on something a little different:
View attachment 183309
Being a naturally shy person, this was not something that would usually have interested me. I would have preferred to celebrate the season within my small group of close friends. I went to close the message, but then I hesitated. The longer I considered it, the more I realised that maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea to try something new. I didn't expect to win, but as long as I didn't place last, it would definitely be worth it.
I spun around, throwing myself to the ground just in time. The arrow slammed into the wall just above me with a sharp twang. My heart hammered inside my chest as I scrambled to my feet, reaching for the arrow to pluck it from the wall. Before I had time to grab it, another sliced through the air, missing me by centimetres. The girl didn't even seem bothered that she had missed twice; she just calmly notched another arrow and took aim. This time I brought up my shield, hearing the clunk as it embedded itself into the thick wood. When no more shots followed, I peered hesitantly over the top. The girl was fumbling with her bow, clearly frustrated and muttering under her breath. She was out of arrows.
As she searched the chests surrounding her, I used it to my advantage and sprinted away, seeking shelter in a nearby abandoned building. My footsteps echoed ominously through the silent halls as I climbed to the top floor. I was severely weakened by this point in the tournament, collapsing heavily in the corner, gasping for breath. The soles of my feet were burning. Bringing a hand up to my face, I touched the fresh bruises there and winced in pain. I momentarily closed my eyes to the world that was spinning around me. I was so exhausted that I failed to hear it above the buzz of static in my ears. He shoved me to the ground, and pain exploded in my skull and down my back as I hit hard concrete. My sword dropped from my hands and clattered to the floor. I weakly turned my head to look at him as he, with a sadistic smile, raised the tip of his blade to my fragile heart.
But the pain never came. I opened my eyes again, confused, my mind filling with sudden dread. A crushing weight collapsed onto me, and panic surged through me as I forced myself out from under his body and struggled to stand. My eyes fell on the arrow that had pierced through his back, then to the silhouette of the girl who stood in the doorway, as she slung her bow over her shoulder. I acted quickly, knowing I only had a few seconds to get out before I became her next victim. I dashed over to the building's only window, ignoring the broken shards of glass that cut into my aching hands as I swung myself over the ledge, descending straight into the darkness with no hesitation.
I felt her murderous glare from above, following me as I guided myself carefully but swiftly across the vines like a gymnast, and dropped onto solid ground. I didn't feel an ounce of relief, because the girl was climbing down after me just as quickly. I couldn't keep running forever, but my plan was to find somewhere I could use the terrain to my advantage. I started moving towards the centre of the map, but I was so focused on it that I almost missed the gaping hole in the ground. My eyes widened in terror as I stared down at the vast expanse of bottomless black ocean below me. I turned around to look for another way, but my predator was closing in on me. My only choice now was to fight her, but in the rush to escape, I hadn't remembered to retrieve my sword.
The girl charged at me with her axe, trying to end it with one sickening blow. It crashed right through my battered shield, sending splinters of wood flying in all directions. She prepared for another swing, grinning as I helplessly backed closer and closer to the edge. I had nothing left to defend myself with now. The axe came hurtling towards me. Thinking fast, I dodged the attack and grabbed the handle of the axe, trying to pull it away from her. She hadn't been expecting this, and fought hard to keep her grip on it, but she was much stronger than me, and the force of it knocked me to the ground. As she raised the axe for the third time, I noticed the beads of sweat clinging to her forehead. She was exhausted.
I tried to avoid the axe again, but this time it made contact, slicing into my left leg. I screamed out as pain shot through my body, but I had to keep going. She was relentless, bringing the axe down again, but at the last second, I pulled myself away from it. She was panting heavily with the energy it took to wield the axe, and I used the opportunity to get back on my feet. I grimaced from the pain, darkness clouding the edges of my vision. I dodged her weapon again and again, but even with my best efforts, it was missing me by mere centimetres. I couldn't keep this up.
The next time she lifted the axe, I knew it would be the last. She and I were both almost out of energy. I had to end this now. Suddenly filled with determination, I grabbed one of her arms and twisted it behind her back until she shrieked in pain, causing her to drop the axe. She lunged for it, but I punched her in the face, sending her stumbling backwards. I took the deadly weapon in my hands, staring at its blade, which was covered in my own blood. I looked at her, lying helpless on the ground, vulnerable and sobbing. Then, in one swift movement, I beheaded her with her own axe.

Christmas Activities
Ah Christmas, some would say it's the most wonderful time of the year, a time to spend time with family, enjoy presents and... destroying people on CubeCraft with Christmas items. This is according to Tenisty who recently uploaded a video titled "Minecraft but I cyberbully children with the power of Christmas..."The video is supported by the age-old classical song "feliz navidad", so you can enjoy watching them knock people in the void with some classical Christmas music in the background. To be honest, their skill is pretty impressive, as they even knock someone with full diamond into the void, using a bow to punch them. The editing is kept to a minimal but sometimes this is better as we can just enjoy watching them knock people off without too much distractions.
A short but entertaining video, we would definitely say it is worth the watch!

Giveaways
There have been 2 giveaways this week. CubeCraft seems to like this time of the year!
CubeCraft's Birthday
It’s CubeCraft’s 8th birthday and how does one celebrate their own date of birth? By giving 8 other people stuff.In the announcements channel CubeCraftGiveaways said:
"It's our birthday! Can you believe it's been 8 years since we started? And what better way than to celebrate with 8 ranks / rank upgrades! 8 winners to be picked. Anyone can enter, it will end on the date: 22/12/2020"
Within exactly 10 minuets of it being announced there were already 169 reactions! Within 20 minutes 269 reactions, after 30 there were 369 reactions. At 40 minutes 469 reactions and in 50 minutes 548 reactions, I suppose the staff team ran out of alternative accounts… After 24 hours there were 2961 reactions.
Anyway, now for the real subject, who are the winners? Well you'll find out in this interview now!
What was your reaction when you first noticed you won?
Monkey: I was really hyped, I won a big giveaway for the first time Jan) Shocked at first, because it’s the first time I had ever won something from a giveaway. Then I was happy and excited.
Nayeli: Kind of surprised I won out of all those people who participated; I usually never win these things but I entered just in case you know
Obama cube: Nothing special, just happy, because I was watching a movie and I checked my phone, and I won.
DR beef: I just noticed it, I spoke out loud, and began shaking.
What rank/bundle did you select/get?
Monkey: I have gold now so a rank upgrade (to diamond).
Jan: I am planning on getting an EggWars rank because it was the first game that I played when I joined CubeCraft and it is the favourite game mode of my friends, so we constantly play it when we get the chance.
Nayeli: Well I’m an emerald rank on cube so the only one left is obsidian
Obama cube: From diamond to emerald
DR beef: Gold :D
As you can tell 3 people didn’t want to be interviewed but I’d say 5/8 is pretty good. And right after I finished writing this: announcement from CubeCraft: Giveaway again!
Christmas Giveaway
'It’s Christmas time, so what better way to celebrate than with a Discord giveaway?'CubeCraftGiveaways Bot:

Mini Bomba: First thing I did was just start using some emojis on my server that were from other servers.
Shiance: Surprised
Kitty Slayer: Quite surprised. I've entered a lot of giveaways before but never won, so this was unique.

Mega EggWars
Recently, CubeCraft released another bedrock exclusive, Mega Eggwars. In Discord, the announcement was made by Palombo as summarised below:"Introducing MEGA EGGWARS to Bedrock! - Fight your opponents in a 10v10v10v10 battle! - 3 new maps to fight in! - A new feel for our iconic EggWars game! We've also released a chunk loading optimisation, so you load into our games faster! Read more about this awesome update here: https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/272995/"
Of course the EggWars players had strong opinions about this and tend to dislike when their game gets changed. InsaneOrbitzz, the biggest Bedrock Youtuber, said:
"The new game Mega EggWars is a pretty cool concept and I can see why some people may enjoy it and why it was implemented but I'm not a massive fan of it. I'm not criticising it as such, but even though it may not have been rushed. It feels like it wasn't really thought through."

Christmas Activities
Ah kerstmis, sommige zouden zeggen dat het de prachtigste tijd van het jaar is, een tijd om met familie door te brengen, te genieten van cadeautjes en... het uitroeien van mensen op CubeCraft met kerstmis items. Dit volgens Tenisty die recent een video heeft geupload met de naam "Minecraft but I cyberbully children with the power of Christmas..."De video word ondersteunt door de jaren oude klassiek nummer "feliz navidad", je kan dus ervan genieten om hun mensen in de void te zien slaan met wat klassieke kerstmis muziek op de achtergrond. Om eerlijk te zijn, hun vaardigheden zijn best indrukwekkend, zoals ze iemand met full diamond in de void slaan met behulp van een boog. Het editen is tot een minimum beperkt maar soms is het beter als je gewoon kan genieten van het eraf slaan van mensen zonder al te veel afleiding.
Een kort maar vermakelijke video, ik zou sowieso zeggen dat dit het waard is om te kijken. Tot het volgende artikel!

Giveaways
Er waren 2 giveaways deze week. CubeCraft vindt dit blijkbaar echt een leuke tijd! CubeCraft's Birthday
Het is de 8ste verjaardag van CubeCraft en hoe vier je dat? Door 8 mensen leuke dingen te geven.In het aankondigingskanaal CubeCraftGiveaways zei:
"Het is onze verjaardag! Kun jij het ook niet geloven dat het 8 jaar is geweest sinds we gestart zijn? En wat is een betere manier dan dit te vieren met 8 ranks / rank upgrades! 8 winnaars worden uitgekozen. Iedereen kan meedoen, de deadline is 22/12/2020."
In precies 10 minuten vanaf aankondiging waren er al 169 reacties! Na 20 minuten 269 reacties, na 30 minuten 369 en na 40 minuten 469. In 50 minuten haalde ze de 548 reacties, ik geloof dat de alt accounts van het staff team toen op waren....
Na 24 uur waren er 2961 reacties. Hoe dan ook, nu het echte onderwerp, wie zijn de winnaars? Je zult het lezen in de interviews hieronder!
Wat was je reactie toen je er voor het eerst achterkwam dat je won?
Monkey: Ik ging door het dak, het was de eerste keer dat ik een giveaway won.
Jan: Geschokt eerst, want het is de eerste keer dat ik ooit wat gewonnen had van een giveaway. Maar daarna was ik blij en opgewonden.
Nayeli: Een beetje verrast dat ik had gewonnen met alle mensen die mee deden; ik win normaal nooit maar ik doe altijd mee want je weet maar nooit.
Obama cube: Niks speciaal, gewoon blij, ik was een film aan het kijken en keek even op m'n telefoon, toen zag ik dat ik gewonnen had.
DR beef: Ik zag het, zei het hardop, en begon te trillen.
What rank/bundle did you select/get?
Monkey: Ik heb nu een gold rank, dus ik ga omhoog naar diamond.
Jan: Ik ga een EggWars rank kiezen want dat was de eerste game die ik op CubeCraft speelde and het is de favoriete game van mij en m'n vrienden, we spelen het altijd als we kunnen. Nayely: Ik ben al Emerald rank op CubeCraft dus ik kan alleen maar naar Obisidan.
Obama cube: Van diamond rank naar emerald.
DR beef: Gold :D
Zoals je kunt zien wilden 3 mensen niet geinterviewd worden maar ik zou zeggen dat 5/8 best goed is. And net nadat ik dit schreef werd er weer een giveaway aangekondigd!

Mega EggWars
Een tijdje geleden heeft CubeCraft een nieuwe game genaamd Mega Eggwars gemaakt speciaal voor Bedrock. Op discord werd de aankondiging gemaakt door Palombo:"Introducing MEGA EGGWARS to Bedrock! - Fight your opponents in a 10v10v10v10 battle! - 3 new maps to fight in! - A new feel for our iconic EggWars game! We've also released a chunk loading optimisation, so you load into our games faster! Read more about this awesome update here: https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/272995"
Dat is de samenvatting. Natuurlijk hadden EggWars spelers veel mening over deze nieuwe game en ze vinden het vaak niet leuk als hun game word veranderd. InsaneOrbitzz, de grootste bedrock youtuber, zei: "The new game Mega EggWars is a pretty cool concept and I can see why some people may enjoy it and why it was implemented but I'm not a massive fan of it.

It was the first of December in CubeCraft. Holiday cheer seemed to float through the city, which was no surprise, as the design team had gone all out with the decorations this year. Glowing lights were strung elegantly between snow-topped buildings. There were piles of presents in vivid colours, and giant candy canes propped up in heaps of glittering snow. Everywhere I looked, people were smiling and laughing, eating candy and sharing presents…

View attachment 183309
Being a naturally shy person, this was not something that would usually have interested me. I would have preferred to celebrate the season within my small group of close friends. I went to close the message, but then I hesitated. The longer I considered it, the more I realised that maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea to try something new. I didn't expect to win, but as long as I didn't place last, it would definitely be worth it.
I spun around, throwing myself to the ground just in time. The arrow slammed into the wall just above me with a sharp twang. My heart hammered inside my chest as I scrambled to my feet, reaching for the arrow to pluck it from the wall. Before I had time to grab it, another sliced through the air, missing me by centimetres. The girl didn't even seem bothered that she had missed twice; she just calmly notched another arrow and took aim. This time I brought up my shield, hearing the clunk as it embedded itself into the thick wood. When no more shots followed, I peered hesitantly over the top. The girl was fumbling with her bow, clearly frustrated and muttering under her breath. She was out of arrows.
As she searched the chests surrounding her, I used it to my advantage and sprinted away, seeking shelter in a nearby abandoned building. My footsteps echoed ominously through the silent halls as I climbed to the top floor. I was severely weakened by this point in the tournament, collapsing heavily in the corner, gasping for breath. The soles of my feet were burning. Bringing a hand up to my face, I touched the fresh bruises there and winced in pain. I momentarily closed my eyes to the world that was spinning around me. I was so exhausted that I failed to hear it above the buzz of static in my ears. He shoved me to the ground, and pain exploded in my skull and down my back as I hit hard concrete. My sword dropped from my hands and clattered to the floor. I weakly turned my head to look at him as he, with a sadistic smile, raised the tip of his blade to my fragile heart.
But the pain never came. I opened my eyes again, confused, my mind filling with sudden dread. A crushing weight collapsed onto me, and panic surged through me as I forced myself out from under his body and struggled to stand. My eyes fell on the arrow that had pierced through his back, then to the silhouette of the girl who stood in the doorway, as she slung her bow over her shoulder. I acted quickly, knowing I only had a few seconds to get out before I became her next victim. I dashed over to the building's only window, ignoring the broken shards of glass that cut into my aching hands as I swung myself over the ledge, descending straight into the darkness with no hesitation.
I felt her murderous glare from above, following me as I guided myself carefully but swiftly across the vines like a gymnast, and dropped onto solid ground. I didn't feel an ounce of relief, because the girl was climbing down after me just as quickly. I couldn't keep running forever, but my plan was to find somewhere I could use the terrain to my advantage. I started moving towards the centre of the map, but I was so focused on it that I almost missed the gaping hole in the ground. My eyes widened in terror as I stared down at the vast expanse of bottomless black ocean below me. I turned around to look for another way, but my predator was closing in on me. My only choice now was to fight her, but in the rush to escape, I hadn't remembered to retrieve my sword.
The girl charged at me with her axe, trying to end it with one sickening blow. It crashed right through my battered shield, sending splinters of wood flying in all directions. She prepared for another swing, grinning as I helplessly backed closer and closer to the edge. I had nothing left to defend myself with now. The axe came hurtling towards me. Thinking fast, I dodged the attack and grabbed the handle of the axe, trying to pull it away from her. She hadn't been expecting this, and fought hard to keep her grip on it, but she was much stronger than me, and the force of it knocked me to the ground. As she raised the axe for the third time, I noticed the beads of sweat clinging to her forehead. She was exhausted.
I tried to avoid the axe again, but this time it made contact, slicing into my left leg. I screamed out as pain shot through my body, but I had to keep going. She was relentless, bringing the axe down again, but at the last second, I pulled myself away from it. She was panting heavily with the energy it took to wield the axe, and I used the opportunity to get back on my feet. I grimaced from the pain, darkness clouding the edges of my vision. I dodged her weapon again and again, but even with my best efforts, it was missing me by mere centimetres. I couldn't keep this up.
The next time she lifted the axe, I knew it would be the last. She and I were both almost out of energy. I had to end this now. Suddenly filled with determination, I grabbed one of her arms and twisted it behind her back until she shrieked in pain, causing her to drop the axe. She lunged for it, but I punched her in the face, sending her stumbling backwards. I took the deadly weapon in my hands, staring at its blade, which was covered in my own blood. I looked at her, lying helpless on the ground, vulnerable and sobbing. Then, in one swift movement, I beheaded her with her own axe.

Christmas Activities
Ahh Navidad, muchos dicen que es la época más bonito del año. Una época para estar con la familia, recibir regalos y... destrozar a los jugadores en CubeCraft con artículos de navidad. Esto último es más bien una idea que Tenisty nos ha dado con su nuevo vídeo llamado "Minecraft pero les hago cyberbullying a los niños con el poder de la Navidad..."El vídeo tiene puesta de fondo la clásica y milenaria canción llamada "Feliz Navidad", cosa que hará aún más entretenido verlo/a tirar a gente al vacío. Siendo honesto, su habilidad es impresionante, tanto es así que incluso consigue tirar al vacío a alguien con armadura de diamante completa usando un mero arco. La edición del vídeo es mínima, pero creemos que a veces es mejor disfrutar de un vídeo de calidad sin demasiadas distracciones.
Un vídeo corto pero sin duda entretenido, ¡sin duda os recomendamos que le echéis un vistazo!

Mega EggWars
Esta semana, CubeCraft sacó una nueva modalidad para la red de Bedrock Edition llamada Mega EggWars. En el servidor de Discord, Palombo anunció lo siguiente:"¡MEGA EGGWARS implementado en Bedrock! - ¡Pelea contra tus enemigos en una batalla de 10v10v10v10! - ¡3 nuevos mapas en los que jugar! - ¡Una remasterización de nuestro icónico juego llamado EggWars!
También hemos optimizado la carga de chunks, ¡así que las partidas cargarán más rápido! Más información sobre esta actualización: https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/272995/ "
Ese es el resumen. Obviamente los jugadores de EggWars tuvieron opiniones bastante fuertes sobre esto. Estos tienden a enfadarse si su juego favorito cambia demasiado. El YouTuber más grande de la red de Bedrock, InsaneOrbitzz, dijo lo siguiente:
"El nuevo Mega EggWars es un concepto fantástico, por lo que entiendo que mucha gente disfrute jugándolo y también entiendo que esté implementado en el servidor, pero no soy un gran fan del juego. No critico a la modalidad como tal, pero parece que no se ha puesto mucho esfuerzo en ella."
