Minecraft Survival Village

Join us for a fast-paced Minecraft survival challenge where you must work quickly to build a village from almost nothing. Starting with limited resources, you will gather materials, craft tools and construct farms, shelters and defenses as your village grows over the course of the session.

Working alone or in small teams, participants will experiment with efficient building layouts, basic survival strategies and simple redstone features such as doors, traps or farm systems. Careful planning and teamwork will be essential to turn a small starting area into a functioning village before night arrives.

Towards the end of the workshop the sun will set and a large horde of zombies will attack the village. Teams must defend what they have built and see if their planning and defenses can survive the night.

This workshop runs entirely in Minecraft survival mode on a local network server, encouraging creativity, teamwork and problem solving as participants gather resources, build quickly and adapt to challenges. No prior Minecraft experience needed.

There will be a snack and lunch break. This event is not catered.
