A message from Groovy! This Sunday 6/26 at 8pm EST, GroovyBanana would like to invite you to play his newest minigame. The game is currently unnammed, but we will get to that in a minute. It's an archery based game where you want to kill chickens as they fall down a wall. If a chicken makes it all the way down you get a point. In this game, points are bad! The first player to reach ten points loses. Keep your aim true and kill those chickens. Standard Merit Point awards will be a ...

Tapestries were woven, assembled, and then displayed. Dracula's castle has acquired some fine pieces of art, making the Dark Lord's eventual return all the more classy. With that said, the top three winners of the tapestries contest: 1st place: GroovyBanana 2nd place: Doctacosa 3rd place: AndrewDowning Congratulations to all participants, the artwork added shows the effort that was put into it! You can see the list of entries and SaneTezz's comments on the contest results page ...

A message from Kimonellos! It's summertime and it's time to build sandcastles, all while competing with others to see which is the best, of course. In this build contest, you are tasked with constructing sandcastles. Each plot is 16x16 so you have lots of room to work with. To get to the contest grounds, take the East Nether Rail until the 2nd station, Ender. Descend to the 2nd floor and follow the line labelled as "Sandcastle building contest". You may choose to build in any of t ...

As some of you know, I've got an ongoing Patreon campaign to help me cover the various expenses of the Creeper's Lab and encourage me to push further. To show my appreciation, I decided to do something extra for you! For the next two weeks, anyone who pledges at $5 USD or above (monthly or yearly, at the Builder tier) will get an exclusive Squid Beaker sticker! Of course, if you're already supporting me at that level or higher, you will get it as a thank you for your loyalty! ...

A new minigame is now available to the lobby: Bedrock Runner, desinged by Twixxi! This new challenge has you entering a stage. After a brief countdown, bedrock blocks will start falling from the ceiling, while lava will rise from below. Your goal is to survive the heat and the crush as long as possible! This is designed to be played by one or multiple players at once. If teams jump in, they could be able to help or hinder each other, so strategy is key! Scores are individual and set in secon ...

Based on recent feedback on the player profiles, I have two notable improvements to present to you today! On your own player profile, the activity chart has been expanded to cover the life of your play history, back to its beginnings! You can click on any of the years below the chart to jump back. Each square represents a single day in a year; the darker the square, the more hours were played on that day. Notable exception: the players who have been around since the near beginning only have ...

Minecraft 1.19 - The Wild Update has been released today and the network has been updated to let you play using the new version. This is only a compatibility check for now, as the new features will only be available once all our tools are in place. For now, Java players, I recommend sticking to 1.18.2 to play with us. Bedrock players, you have to update to continue. Also of note, as of today, people playing under Windows who only own either Java Edition or Bedrock Edition can claim the other ...

Planning out your weekend? We've got two activities for you! This Saturday at around 6pm Eastern time will be the fourth and last stream of the month for our roleplay in Kenorland.

It doesn't matter if you haven't done anything yet, everyone is welcome. The stream will wrap up ...

Some players have been around for a long time but don't play often; others joined recently and have been very active. It can be difficult to judge how someone has progressed compared to others in the community. To give you a better clue on how you're doing, I'm introducing today a new feature within the player profiles: the level indicator! This new level indicator isn't your in-game level based on gathered XP; rather, it's an overall score on your progress within th ...

After reviewing some classic community sayings, I've added two new designs to our merch line! The first new design, WHEESH!!, is for those of us who enjoy our endless rail trips and like to scream euthusiastly as we go. The second, of course, is the classic TRIBUTE!!!... which promptly gets you sent as a sacrifice to the Squids Gods. The visual shows one of the last sights you get to enjoy before things heat up! But that's not all! New product types have been added to RedBubble si ...

It's time for our next building contest, and this one has a unique concept that we haven't focused on yet: creating art using maps. Here's SaneTezz with the full story! We Need Tapestry! Every 100 years the Castle makes its grand appearance so that the Belmonts can fulfil their destony, but what happens in year 76? Dracula heard through the underground that the land of Laurasia has some very skilled and crafty artisans and has put out a quest for those skilled, and brave eno ...

A special communication from Coneva! My fellow Test Subjects, it is time for a new experiment. Welcome to the first Creeper’s Lab Story Roleplay. Many Years ago, two siblings were thrust from their ancestral home due to the devastating wars between the Ghasts and the Piglins. Though a volatile land of fire and lava, the siblings had called it home… Until the day they were forced through a portal into a new world to seek refuge until they could safely return. But, alas, the portal was ...

Hello everyone, this is Kimonellos. It's time for an event, that's why I have prepared a scavenger hunt for you. It will also be a race, so you need to be quick as well. It will take place on my island, Irferlion. To get there, take the West Nether Rail until the 3rd stop, Mesa's Edge. Descend to the 3rd floor and find the line labelled "Irferlion" and enter the portal labelled "Scavenger Hunt Starting Area". It will start on the 30th of April, at 9pm EST(Event Night) and will ...

I've updated tonight all game servers to the latest Minecraft version, 1.14.4. This includes several performance improvements, and the game will hopefully run smoother for all. It's incompatible with the previous one, so be sure to change the game version in your launcher before you resume playing!


Region markers are back

The region markers had been gone from Laurasia's map for a while due to incompatibilities, but they're now back in place. Large player-claimed a ...

Hi everyone, Groovy here. This Saturday, April 23rd, I'd like to invite you to play my newest mini-game, Splat! After a few months of grueling (but hopefully fun) events I thought we could tone it down a bit and have some unadulterated fun! The game is simple, fall from the build height limit to bedrock and stop your fall with a bucket of water. Compete head to head, the person to survive moves on to the next round. If people get too good at the game, I have a surprise built into t ...

Offbrand Neo's second contest at Levansk wrapped up a few days ago, and we now have the results! First place: AlexTheTrain Second place: SaneTezz Third place: Doctacosa Congratulations all! You can see a few screenshots on the contest results page. Speaking of contests and events, two new guidelines have been added to ensure that everything is fair to everyone. Most importantly, event hosts can no longer win prizes at their own events. This was already assumed for building contests and ...

A message from Reb! PT's B&B is now open! Peter Cottontail and Thumper have decided to settle down and end their pirate lifestyle. With the children growing up, there is one last game of hide-and-seek they want to play. Combining the previous years, a scavenger hunt and a maze-like cave system awaits you. Finding the children (eggs) is a priority, then finding Peter Cottontail comes after! Peter is waiting for you with your 2022 Easter Basket in the cave somewhere. But be careful, there ...

As usual, the Merit Points for the latest Kenorland challenge were handed out on the first day of the month. Our top three target chasers were forming a tight pack at the top of the leaderboard! GroovyBanana: 158 AndrewDowning: 156 Shy777: 151 I also pulled some statistics out of this latest Grindatron run to see who did what and what kept most people's attention: Players which completed targets: 22 Possible targets in the month: 182 Targets turned in by all: 1028 Number of targets p ...

Please note that the Minecraft servers will update to 1.18.2 overnight; you will have to switch to the latest game version to continue playing in survival or the minigames. There are no notable changes, just your usual array of bug fixes! All three Nether stars along with the dragon egg have been returned to Seasonal's spawn, wrapping up Groovy's hunt. If you wanted to bring anything from your inventory over to survival, you have about 24 hours from the time of this post to empty ...

Kenorland: Death Seeker! We're introducing this month in Kenorland a brand new challenge: Death Seeker! We're embracing a staple of the Creeper's Lab - countless player deaths - and turning them into a challenge! The goal of this world is to try and score as many different death messages as possible within the month. This game can be very varied in how it tells us about fallen players; likewise, you'll have to be creative to trigger as many messages as possible! Getting t ...

UPDATE: April Fools. :-p Taking another step for the Interordi network, I'm happy to introduce something completely new: the collection of Interordi NFTs! For those still trying to grasp what Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are, think of them as a certificate of authenticity - you don't acquire a unique copy of a JPG, PNG or whatever. Rather, you get the unique proof that you own that media, with that proof living in the blockchain. This ensures its security thanks to a non-centralized ...

For those interested in Groovy's event, it starts NOW! As a reminder, there are two goals: Bring a Nether star back to spawn Slay the dragon and bring its egg to spawn Rewards will be awarded to the first three people to bring a star, along with the single player able to get the egg. This event will run until all prizes have been handed out, then you'll be given the option to retreive your items, so be sure to place all your belongings of Seasonal in a chest before this happens! ...

Hello test subjects, we have a special announcement from the Horsemen for you. Earlier this month we got our first slave Acolyte, GroovyBanana. While it's fun to have one Acolyte, it will be even more fun to have others to do our bidding. We are waiting for the day we can watch our Acolytes fight to the death in our Acolyte-Only arena and throw some interesting events using the Acolyte-Only event space. We also want more Acolytes to fill the coffers of our Community Vaults. So, to cel ...

Last spring, there was a building contest in Levansk to add more builds within its walls. There are plenty of lots left, so it's time for an encore! This is once again hosted by Offbrand_Neo.

Build height is y=35-70. - Neo Rules In opposite of last time, the only specific theme to follow is "cityscape"; the style of ...

From Rebbica007: The Leprechauns have advanced in number! The Leprechaun Slayer needs your help subduing these tiny thieves. The Leprechauns have gone into their cave to sort out their coins.
