2025 MYTHICMC BUILD BATTLE
Greetings all MythicMC enjoyers, this year I am excited to co-organize this year’s build battle along with miss Althia to celebrate the upcoming Lunar New Year. In this year contest, we decided to settle with a rather fun and unique theme to choose out one of the best builders this server has to offer.
More about Lunar New Year: marking the beginning of the new year in the Chinese originated lunar calendar that today, is being celebrated widely across China and many other East and South East Asian countries, even by Asians who live abroad. Being the most important holiday of the year, it is the period where family members unite, sitting together for a cozy meal, wishing for another prosperous (盛) and peaceful (平安) year, giving prayers to their ancestors, gifting lucky money or rather red lucky envelopes to younglings. With many beautiful decoration across cities and towns, and a diverse range of traditional food, Lunar New Year is a perfect display of culture, everyday life and people in many East and South East Asian countries.
