Week 4

🏗️ Academica Esports Minecraft Build Challenge – Week 4: The Yacht Project

🛥️ Theme: Luxury Yacht Life

This week’s challenge is all about creativity, design, and functionality. Builders will construct a fully equipped luxury yacht — the kind that would make any billionaire jealous. Your goal is to combine realism, creativity, and attention to detail while keeping your yacht seaworthy (or at least seaworthy-looking).

⚙️ Build Specifications

Your yacht must include the following key areas:

  • Captain’s Bridge – Elevated command area with navigation controls and viewing windows. Use levers, compasses, and maps for realism.

  • Living Quarters – At least 2 furnished bedrooms with beds, lighting, and storage (barrels/chests). Include décor touches like paintings or bookshelves.

  • Bathrooms – At least 2 bathrooms, each with a sink (cauldron + lever), toilet (quartz stair + trapdoor), and shower or tub (glass + water).

  • Dining Room – A table that can seat at least 6 players, plus lighting and windows. Add a kitchen or galley nearby with furnaces, smokers, or barrels.

  • Recreation Room (Rec Room) – Include pool tables, arcade setups, or a lounge area — use your imagination! Optional: Add a jukebox, bar, or aquarium for extra flair.

  • Deck Area – Lounge chairs, umbrellas, and lifeboats encouraged. Bonus: Add a helipad, pool, or jet ski dock for extra points.

🎨 Design Guidelines

  • Materials: White concrete, smooth quartz, glass panes, birch planks, and iron blocks are recommended for a clean yacht aesthetic.

  • Lighting: Use lanterns, glowstone, or sea lanterns for elegant illumination.

  • Details: Curved hulls, stair-shaped accents, trapdoors, and slabs make your yacht look more realistic.

🧭 Bonus Challenges

  • Name Your Yacht – Give it a creative name and display it on a sign near the hull.

  • Add Functionality – Include working redstone doors, lighting, or secret compartments.

  • Show Off Your Flag – Add a custom banner to represent your team or school.

🕓 Build Duration

  • You have one week to complete and submit your yacht.

  • Submissions are due by Sunday at 11:59 PM.

  • Videos no longer than 5:30
