#hopefully I'll be able to reference this post when I get MCC asks!

Welcome to the MCC masterpost with all of the information you could ever want about MCC!! I’ve been getting a lot of questions about MCC, so here’s (hopefully) most of the answers. There’s a big learning curve for MCC, so don’t worry to all you new people, you’ll catch on quickly!!

General information

-MCC stands for Mine Craft Championship and it’s basically a really big sporting event for minecraft that takes place every month. It’s run by a team of people called Noxcrew and they put in a TON of work for this event. There are 40 players that are split up into teams of 4, so there are 10 teams. Each team has a color and a minecraft animal associated with it. So a team of 4 people are the “Red Rabbits” or “Blue Bats”. 

-The teams and players are different in every MCC! Scott Smajor, one of the organizers of the event (he also plays in the event) is the one who puts together the teams. He does his best every event to create fun and balanced teams. There is a list of ccs who are in the event, you have to sign up to be in the event and then there’s a waiting list of people to play. People can also make requests to be on each other’s teams. The teams are announced usually a week or two before the event itself. They announce the next event about a week after the last event, then the teams and then the event. They announce the team over two days, the first 5 teams the first day and then the second 5 teams the second day. 

-The way the game is scored is with coins. Individuals win coins in each game that count towards their team score. Some games are much more individual and some games are entirely team based. There is a hall of fame in every event that shows the top 10 players, however the only “winner” is the winning team at the end of the event, and all 4 people win. 

-There is an individual scoreboard, and every person in MCC has a placement on the scoreboard depending on how many coins they have. So the individual with the most coins doesn’t necessarily win. 

-There are 8 games played in the event, and then one game at the very end to decide the winner. The game explanations will be found farther down in the post, and I’ll explain each game. For now there are only 9 game modes available, but for season 1 there were a few more games. The decision dome is where all of the teams go to decide which game to play in which order. This is important because the later games get a coin multiplier. So the early games don’t matter as much, and you earn more coins in later games. The very last game is always dodgebolt, and whoever wins dodgebolt determines the winner. 

-There’s a training island server that has mini versions of some of the games that players can practice on. This is what people will practice on before the event.

How the championship works!!

Every game is decided by the players in the decision dome. 

Each team goes into a little tank that coordinates with their team color. Each player then has an egg that when thrown spawns a chicken. On the floor of the dome there is a space designated for each game, and players can “vote” by throwing their chicken in that space to vote for a game. Whichever game has the most chickens is the game that’s played next. However the chickens can move into other spaces, and quite often a game is chosen that people didn’t want to play. 

This happens after every game to decide the new game. Since there are 9 games, 1 game won’t be played. The order matters because the games get a coin multiplier as they’re played later. The final game has a double coin multiplier, so whichever game is played last could really determine which place your team ends up in. For example, teams that are really good at pvp will try to vote for those games later on because there is higher coin multiplier for the later games. 

In the middle of the event there is a game decided by the audience (which is us!). On the MCC twitter account they run a twitter poll and people can vote for different games. (usually it’s whichever game gets the least amount of votes). So whichever game is chosen by the audience is what’s played and creators will tell people to vote for a certain game.

After the 8 games are played the top two teams play dodgebolt. Whoever wins dodgebolt wins the entire event. So even if your team gets first place in terms of coins, you could still lose dodgebolt to the second place team. 

For every player through the whole game there is a little side panel that has a lot of information on it. If you look at this little panel it will tell you a lot of what you need to know about what’s going on right now during the event. (sorry about george’s head peeking out there at the bottom)

The Games!!

There are many different game modes to be explained! As of right now there are only 9 game modes that are being played since noxcrew has revamped everything for season 2. During season 1 there were a couple more game modes that we don’t know whether or not they’ll be returning. there are also some games that have been removed entirely.  

I got some parts of these descriptions from the MCC website, but I added some of my own information as well. 

Ace race- This game used to be known as foot race, which was basically just a race around a map. Ace race has boost pads and tridents and elytras and other fun things. Ace Race is a three lap race around a big track full of shortcuts and pitfalls. Sprint, jump, and fly as fast as you can, and avoid obstacles to get the fastest time possible. The better placement you end with, the more coins you’ll earn. No coins are rewarded if you don’t complete the race. This game mode is infamous for being extremely glitchy and difficult. Wilbur Soot especially hates this game because of all of the things wrong with it. 

Battle Box-a PvP-centric game that occurs over 9 rounds. Each team cycles round and plays against every other team in a 4v4 match up! Teams have 1 minute, and only 1 life. The game is won by placing wool in the center of the map. There is a small square and each team has a color that they have to fill in the square with. This is most easily done by killing the other team (which you get coins for) and then filling in the center, but some teams will just try and fill in the center without killing the other team, which gets fewer coins but still wins. Coins are awarded to each member on the team that captures the objective. You can also earn coins for personal eliminations. Zero coins are rewarded if the match results in a draw.

Build Mart- A speed-building game that really tests communication and resource management! There are three different builds that the teams then have to replicate. The aim is to build as many as you can in the time limit. Players head out into Build Mart, collect the resources they need and bring it back to their team's private build zone. Completing a build earns coins for each player on the team. The first teams to complete a certain build gets more coins. Extra Coins are rewarded at the end of the game depending on how much you have completed of your remaining builds. This game is also infamous for being widely disliked among many of the players. There are a few players (especially those from hermitcraft) that really love this game, but it’s known for being disliked. 

Hole in the Wall- The aim of the game is to stay alive for as long as you can while large walls of slime converge on you from all directions! Jump and thread your way through the walls without being pushed off the platform. Over time, the speed of the walls will increase, as the platform beneath you decreases in size! Coins are awarded every time you’re still on the platform and a player falls, with a big bonus if you survive an entire round.

Sky Battle- Similar to Skyblockle and the classic Minecraft mini-game Skywars, Sky Battle is a fast-paced game designed to keep teams moving and trying new strategies! Teams begin with access to resources and infinite blocks, which can be used to build defenses, and move between islands. Build up your resources and head towards the centre of the map; the last player or team standing wins! Sky Battle is played out in three rounds of approximately five minutes. During the game there’s a border that’s shrinking around the map that pushes the players into the middle of the “arena”. There’s usually a very chaotic fight to the death in the very middle of the map and many people get killed by the border. 

Survival Games- Last team standing wins! All players are let free to roam the map, trying to become more powerful through finding equipment hidden in buildings, all while the map borders converge into the center, forcing you to fight for survival. In this version, players have infinite levels, allowing them to enchant their equipment to further levels of power. Look out for occasional chests containing powerful and unique equipment! Coins are awarded every time a player dies and you’re still alive, for eliminating an opponent, and for surviving the entire game. It’s important to survive in this game, but it’s just as important for pvp. Killing players gets a lot of coins. 

Parkour Tag- This game kind of replaced parkour warrior, which was just a purely parkour based game. After Dream completed the map for the 3rd time in a row (despite Noxcrew’s best effort to make it hard enough to not complete it) they got rid of the game and replaced it with another movement based game. Each team designates a hunter to hunt the other team. Then the hunter is put with the other three members of the opposing team, and the opposing team’s hunter is put with the other three players. The hunter has to tag each of the runners by just hitting them. The map for the game is designed to have parkour elements, so the better you are at parkour the better you are at this game. Someone on a team can be a hunter 4 times, and then they have to be a runner. All of the teams go against each other. Hunters get points for tagging the other team and runners get points for staying alive. 

TGTTOSAWAF- This long ass acronym stands for To Get To The Other Side And Whack A Fan. Usually just called to get to the other side. The game plays out in six rounds across six different maps. All players start on one end of the map and are given various tools to assist them in getting to the other side. Each map is different, so some require blocks to bridge across, some require a boat to slide across ice. Once they’ve made it across, they must punch a fan to complete their goal! There are 40 minecraft skins at the end of each map and they just have to punch them to complete the course. Players can all hit each other along the course so people will try and punch each other into the void as sabotage. Where you place will determine how many coins you earn, with first place earning the most coins. 

Sands of Time-  This game has the biggest learning curve to understand in my opinion. It makes no sense. Teams enter their own dungeons and compete against the clock to collect as many hidden coins as they can. These coins are found by doing puzzles, killing mobs, doing parkour etc. Generally the riskier the puzzle or the deeper you go into the dungeon the more coins you’ll find. However if you die your coins are lost and someone has to revive you by using some sand. The second aspect is the time. There is a big sand timer in the middle of the dungeon and usually someone is the designated time keeper. They are in charge of filling the timer back up with sand blocks (which you can also find around the dungeon), which gives players more time to explore. There are also sometimes traps in the dungeon that will kill you (or in dream’s case with the iron doors just not let you out ever). If you don’t make it out of the dungeon before the time is up you lose all of your coins. 

Dodgebolt- Dodgebolt is the final duel, and is not available on the Decision Dome. The top two teams with the highest number of coins goes to the final. It’s an elimination game where the aim is to remain as the last team standing. Dodgebolt is played as a best of five, and the first team to reach three wins will become the MCC event winners! It’s basically like dodgeball for minecraft but with a bow and arrow instead of a ball. Both teams start across from each other on opposite sides of an arena (they can’t cross over into each other’s sides). At the start of the round, 2 arrows are dropped into the centre, where players will race to pick them up. From here on out, the players must shoot the arrows back and forth to try to eliminate each other. No coins are awarded in Dodgebolt. This one’s for the win! All of the other players are surrounding the teams in the arena, they can pick flags that they hold to cheer for a certain team and usually people will cheer in chat. 

-There are two other games called bingo but fast and rocket spleef that were played in MCC season 1 and might be returning, and two other games called foot race (which became ace race) and parkour warrior (which became parkour tag kinda) that are retired and for the foreseeable future won’t be played anymore.

Misc information

-Captainsparklez is known for consistently getting third place and never having the chance to win MCC by playing in dodgebolt. Even though he’s played in every event since the beginning, he’s never won. People call this “the captain's curse”. 

-A lot of people get REALLY into the technical aspect of MCC. There are all sort of stats and data about MCC out there. There's a subreddit where people are doing a lot more analyzing and predicting. People will rate players into different tiers based on their previous performances and their overall coin amount. This is where it gets more competitive. People will make team predictions and winner predictions. If this were irl sports these people would be the hardcore sport fans that know all of the stats of the players and do like math and stuff to figure out who will win. But. It’s not that intense, it’s just fun friendly competition. :)

-Some people stream on twitch, some people stream on youtube! A lot of the information can be found on twitter as well, as far as announcements go. 

If you’re more of a visual learner this video is fast paced but good at explaining the different games and how the championship works. 

Just for fun, here is the MCC spotify! Some of the songs on here are absolute bangers. 

I would also reccomend you check out the MCC website for more info, and before MCC watch a couple vods! Pick your favorite CC and try and watch a few videos or a few games to get a good handle on the event before you dive into the live event.
