Update by Doctacosa

Back to school? Back to work? Who cares, time for more Minecraft! Read on for the return of the Hunter's Lodge and an extension to AlexTheTrain's building contest, among other things.

Merit Points will be awarded in the same model as Race Away: the player with the highest score will get 30 points, second place 29, and so on until the 30th player with 1 point.

Additionally, if the theme of Plants vs Zombies wasn't inspiring you, you can choose to decorate the garden with a variety of plants instead. Let's see your green thumbs!
If you prefer, on the other side of the street, you can build any of the themed stores available.

The Hunter's Lodge is an area where you can go out into the surrounding 'badlands' and hunt mobs to your heart's content, day or night, vanilla mobs or stronger challenge varients! The Lodge can spawn in 4 difficulty assortments, Easy, Normal, Hard, and Raid Boss; Easy, Normal, and Hard mobs can drop items used within the Lodge to craft strong armor and weapons to use within or elsewhere! Raid Bosses switch out ...
