2020 Xmas Cheer

_adnap_ posted Dec 20, 20

Wow another year nearly over. Its been a long year, but at the same time its flown by.

Hope everyone has been collecting their advent calander gifts.. Jolly old Santa has travelled around most of spawn, and hangs out at some very odd places. (No, I have no idea where he will appear next. It's a surprise to me too.) Additionally, the Xmas wishes in the wishing hall in Hub has exceeded our expectations. To the point where we had to do an emergency extension to add all the xmas wishes to the wall!!

But to the important notice. As another thank you to all our players and to help celebrate Xmas and the holiday period (for us Aussies), add5tar has slashed prices in our Donation Store. Until midnight 31st Dec 2020, the following discounts are available.

  • 50% discount on all our Value Packages. (Starter through to Ultimate)
  • 20% discount on everything else in the Donation Store.
  • Additionally, for a limited time only, Rudolf the Reindeer makes an appearance in our Miniature Pets line up. But hurry, as it wont be available on our store for very long. But once purchased you will keep it forever!

(note: All donations go towards the running of the server, and supporting Devs of plugins that we use.)

From all of the AddstarMC team, we wish you all an amazing Xmas and New Year!! <3

OfficerDudeYT Thanks Adnap for the support!

Hey everyone!

I'm sure everyone would agree that 2020 has been a completely crazy and unforgettable year (and not necessarily in a good way)!! We've all seen so much terrible news around the world and all the horrible things the world has faced  It has been a really difficult year for so many people. On top of all that... we'll probably never forget the home isolation, masks everywhere, border closures, travel lockdowns... and we all learned how to use this thing called zoom 

But this year also brought some great times to AddstarMC. The home isolation earlier this year brought a massive influx of players (which we very much appreciated!), hopefully giving people some much needed distractions from life. We saw Hardcore reset again, with the upgrade to 1.16 (and many many deaths). The strange world of SkyGrid was also re-launched, for those who like living on the edge! There were several new games added and we also celebrated the server's 8th birthday!! 

We think it's time to give back and bring some more smiles to people's faces   
There's a brand new Advent Calendar experience coming to Survival server!

Find Santa!

Find Santa hiding around Survival Spawn each day to receive a gift box!

We've really changed up the Advent Calendar system this year. Each day you have to find Santa somewhere in Survival Spawn, right click him to open the Advent Calendar. When you click the box for that day, you get to spin a gift wheel to receive one of the gift boxes for that day! The staff team have been insanely busy with Christmas preparations and you won't want to miss a day with these rewards! Be aware, if you miss a day, you cannot claim rewards from previous days!

edit: Don't forget, we're also posting Christmas wishes again this year! Head to the Xmas Wish Hall in Hub and write your wish in a book, then throw it in the hoppers nearby. We'll then transpose this onto the Wall of Wishes, along with your playerhead!

Merry Christmas everyone! <3

Just a few months ago we introduced FlyingFox to our minimal lineup of Elytracour maps. FlyingFox exceeded our expectations and became another beloved Elytra course which has now been completed 4,518 times by 165 different players! To put that into perspective, that's 1759.26% more wins than add5tar has ever won in all Minigames combined! 

When we announced FlyingFox we also promised another map was soon to follow... we lied... there are two new maps!

After several months of tedious work, Octoni has finished an astonishingly detailed arena which is by far our most challenging Elytracour map. We call it RisingValley.

The dense trees and dark mineshafts are sure to challenge even the best pilots!

Our second Elytra map is a medieval maze of creeky old torch-lit rooms and broken walls, the dodgy free-falls are not for the light-hearted! We call it DragonCastle. 

We hope you all enjoy these great new maps! Maybe we can achieve 2020% more wins than add5tar 

It was 8 years ago today that qw33ty and I launched the first public incarnation of AddstarMC. At the time, just a small home-hosted server built for our kids, it was a very simple survival server with less than 20 players. The server wasn't whitelisted but most of the players were invited to join by our kids after playing with them on other servers. Back then the server only had a single world with the (now) iconic survival spawn hut. New players would spawn in a rules room within the survival spawn, minigames were actually in a special designated area within the survival world (crazy right?) and the player "market" was just a bunch of huts you could rent in the survival spawn.

We never in our wildest dreams imagined AddstarMC would become what it is today.. we've had some incredible memories and adventures over the years! We're unbelievably proud of the community we have created!
Thank you to this amazing community for making it so special
 <3

To celebrate, there will be a special AddstarMC stream this weekend:

  • When: Saturday, August 15th @ 1pm AEST
  • What: Admin shenanigans, games, probably explosions..
  • Where: AddstarMC Twitch channel (and on Discord)


Staff have also been working on a very special birthday hub.. Don't miss it!

Happy Birthday AddstarMC!
