Do You Want To Become A Minecraft Champion?

LEESBURG, Fla. - Aug. 26, 2015 - PRLog -- LEESBURG, Florida, August 26, 2015 -- What would you do if you worked in the Youth Department of a public library and half of your public computers would be used each day by children and teens to play one particular computer video game? You would create an event, which dedicates a whole day of fun, interactivity and competition to this game. This is what Tim Trick, teen library assistant at the Leesburg Public Library did, when he created “The Minecraft Maniacs Championships”.

“The kids absolutely love this game and come up with astonishing creations,” Trick said.  But while the young miners and crafters are revealing a great deal of enthusiasm and creativity for the game, “they go home empty handed each night, and their day’s work gets erased from the hard drives.”

The Leesburg Public Library Youth Services went ahead and created their own Minecraft server. Each Tuesday the kids can play on that server during the program “Minecraft Maniacs”.  Because this program has become so well received and Trick felt the demand for even more Minecraft “the creation of a Minecraft event like The Minecraft Maniacs Championships became inevitable,” Trick said.

Trying to create an event, which is enjoyable for all types of player, the mining experts, the architectural geniuses, the survivor specialists, Trick decided to break down the contest into several categories. “We are going to have survival games, building contests, redstone creations, world challenges, monster arenas and hunger games.” Trick said. “

“I really wanted to make it as versatile as possible. I think it came out great and the kids will have an awesome time”
