It's great to hear you're spending your time wisely, probably not a bad idea warlock ^^
I've been revisiting the challenges for about a year or so now, maybe more maybe less, and i keep on coming back for some reason, so you musta done something right
Maybe someday someone will redo the whole thing, someone who's got a bit more time on their hands
A quick sidenote to the Duergar, my current playthrough... what the hell is a dark bakery? bahahah
A while ago I made a modded version of the challenge with some ideas I had myself about how you'd make it easier to keep updated. It never really took off though it was never meant as a replacement, just another challenge that's just as fun that's meant to include mods. It's still kind of unfinished.

It's been a little while, folks! I'm happy to say, though, that I have added new content to the MODDED Fantasy City Build Challenge! This time, we focused on a magical hideout. Go check it out!

Anyone have any recommendations for resource packs for these challenges? Also, I have always been a fan of this challenge, and I am glad it is still at least semi-active. I wish I had some way of helping with the activity issue.
There is no helping the activity. It's pretty much dead. I'm the only one to have posted here in about 9 months, so. People left because the creators/team wasn't here making more content to keep it relevant, so it died.
And, no, there are no resource packs.

Always been a fan of this challenge. Perhaps this specific challenge can't be revived, but I think if we were to adapt it a bit we could make a similar challenge that would regain some activity. If anyone would be down to cooperate on this, let me know. Any cooperation would be appreciated because I don't have enough time at the moment to work on it that much. Especially if any of the creators of this challenge would like to work on this project, I would be happy to let you be in control of where the project goes.
Hello I am hugely interested in working to remake this challenge with updated objectives. Ive been trying the murlock and its a blast! But i instantly think how cool it would be if there were objectives related to guardians, monuments and other of the new things in the aquatic update. I would love to help revive this with you! I have some time to playtest, and though I am not great at designing objectives, I can give some very good ideas for ways to revitalize the races portion/create lore and baseline concepts for new ones! Essentially I am interested in collaborating on this with you. Please reply once you have seen this. I hope I am not too late as it has been a while since you last posted.

This challenge is basically dead, last I checked. I've been working sporadically on a similar challenge that aims to include mods in the mix. I called it the Modded Fantasy City Build Challenge. It aimed to fix a lot of the problems I saw the creators of this challenge having with updates -- new races had to be built from scratch on a shared server. Progress was stalled because the server fell out of maintenance, and no one knows or remembers where it was left off. The challenge went without updates for a year, then two, then five. When you go without updates for that long, people stop talking about it, so it died. My challenge aimed to avoid those problems by having one central challenge with a bunch of side quests you could add to it. The race you pick tells you what blocks and biomes they preferred and when to stop, so, in theory, everyone plays the same challenge but gets different results. It has, unfortunately, not picked up traction. I'm not sure if the creators of this challenge are interested in reviving it anymore, since this is the second time it was revived. You are welcome to do your own version, though, and see if that takes off. Just be sure to credit Warlock and Sniper, since they, along with the rest of the team, are the ones behind this.

So I know this challenge is dead but I have still started going through it from easiest to hardest while live streaming on mixer. I am really enjoying it even though I am still only on stage 1 of the beginner challenge. I was hoping someone could point me in a direction for maybe a remake or a similar challenge for once I have finished. I play on xbox so I don't have access to mods but one I think would be fun to play with on this challenge is tinkers construct
This is late, but my challenge, The Modded Fantasy City Build, is based on it. It doesn't require mods, they just make it funner. The core challenge is 20 stages long and there are a few different side quests you can do.

Holy moly, memories! I lost my old account info obv but I created a new one just a send one last message; though I doubt many of my old pals will see it. I hope you're all doing well in life is all, we're all grown up, probably graduated college, full jobs, maybe even wife and kids at this point for some of us. Just know this was a core memory in my life as I hope it was the same for you. I think about this time in my life maybe a couple times a year. Ah I don't know, just feeling nostalgic after looking through the thread a bit - I still play the game every so often (though I haven't touched it in maybe a year now), the updates since then have been insane. Anyway, just hope you're all doing well. Hope you're all happy. Cheers <3

Hello all!
Hope everyone has been doing well in their lives over the past, ten years . Wow, time flies! Now that the kids are grown, well kinda. I have been able to start putting more time into my hobbies. I really miss this community and it has been on my mind quite a bit!
I wanted to create a modpack around these challenges like we wanted to do back 10 years ago, and with the mods that are out there today I think we can kinda get there. A big one being Minecolonies. I think a pack centered on that and using FTB quests we can get the challenges integrated into the game, and have fun while doing it!
I plan on streaming while doing this as well. Hopefully being able to M-F for a few to 5 hours. I have a base pack that I created to start with and I think with the help of the community we can create something beautiful!
I have setup a server that I am waiting for the world to finish generating that I will be available to everyone that wants to participate in a build. I may have bit off a larger world than I should have, it's looking like it still has about 140 hours to finish pregening all the chunks. Yes, there should be room for everyone!
@Warlock2742 @amazingsniper8 @blazing_chaos Miss you guys!!!
I somehow managed to remember how to get into my account here.
Man, there are so many great memories. I loved playing through these challenges!
I've been working on a single-player world for the last couple years. I'm happy to say it looks pretty good! Now I'm working on building my first mountain (and on making my Big Hole deeper).
Screenshots in the spoiler!
Overview of my city before attempting mountainous construction.
Another overview.
Third overview!
Lavacast Mountain (from the side facing the city).
Lavacast Mountain (from the south).
Lavacast Mountain (southwest).
Lavacast Mountain (southwest -- closer).
Deep underground beneath Big Hole, there is a Big Cave. I want to expose Big Cave through Big Hole!
The other side of the underground spring! Half of it is lava! And there's more space downwards! I have big plans for this space but need to be able to See down here, first!
Always lots of work to do! I have a neverending list of projects I want to take care of and am always coming up with new ones. This would be an excellent world to tackle some of these old challenges in!
I miss you guys.

Sorry it took so long, but I got an answer for you. Vor means In Front/Front in german. So they meant, Front Yard, I.E. Voryard.
Hey Hey!
I know it's been a couple years since this thread last got posted to but i just wanted to say i really enjoy the challenge!
I use a lot of Datapacks and Recourse packs to build my world and its been fun, here's my recommended recourse packs (most if not all need Optifine)
Excalibur by Maffhew
Crops-3D
Better Dogs by MrBlueYeti
BetterFarmAnimals by MrBlueYeti
Better Cats by MrBlueYeti
Better Horses by CanineGray
I use a couple others but those are more personal preference than they add anything to the gameplay.
Holy moly, memories! I lost my old account info obv but I created a new one just a send one last message; though I doubt many of my old pals will see it. I hope you're all doing well in life is all, we're all grown up, probably graduated college, full jobs, maybe even wife and kids at this point for some of us.
