We recently ran a creative mode competition over on Twitter where we challenged you to build a world, base, or creation around the theme of “Enchanted Waters”. We had some amazing submissions from community members all over the world, and it wasn’t easy to pick a winner! We saw some amazing uses of Core Keeper’s map, lighting, and mechanics that were blended to create truly beautiful worlds. After a lot of deliberation, we were able to narrow the video submissions down to one clear winner, which we’ll be sharing below. Before that, however, we also wanted to share some of our favourites from the runners-up (in no particular order). [h3]Wizard Otter’s Submission[/h3] We thoroughly enjoyed a tour of this canal-filled submission by Wizard Otter. From the lighting to the use of seasonal content and floor tiles, everything about this scene was truly lovely to look at. It’s obvious that Wizard Otter put lots of effort into getting the flooring and structure of this world looking just right. Awesome job!

The boat-like structure made out of wooden signs was particularly creative and we loved the use of teleportation to switch between themed spaces throughout the video. Overall, we thought this was a lovely collection of scenes that came together to build a very expansive world.

This creative Explorer did a wonderful job of maintaining a world that could easily be walked through while segmenting individual areas of the map. There was lots of colour and theme coordination, which we loved.

From the very start, we felt like we were on a journey through a scene that could easily appear in-game, and we were wowed by the clever use of certain building materials to achieve unique effects (such as creating the appearance of a staircase leading down into the water). There was so much to look at and absorb in this world and the water features running throughout linked it to the theme beautifully. [previewyoutube=9RERZsH_104;full][/previewyoutube] [h2]The Winning Submission by soumu.[/h2] What can we say? We loved it from the moment we hit play. This water-filled world was both enchanting and eerie, and the use of the void as negative space to make the lighting effects even more striking on the water was inspired! It felt like we were on a journey in a fantasy realm, and the little pops of colour here and there made for a beautiful contrast to the glowing and ethereal landscape. This Explorer understood the assignment perfectly and created something memorable that truly stood out to us. We also loved the playful use of the map at the very end and thought the pixel-art Glow Tulip was the cherry on top of an already amazing submission.
