Show us what you've made in Minecraft, win free stuff

We've got five 800MP codes to give away. BUILD!

In the new issue of OXM - which is on sale now in both paper and iPad form - you'll find a feature documenting the rise, fall and rise again of our Xbox 360 Minecraft server, lovingly built by the residents of this very site. To mark its publication, we're kicking off a mini Minecraft competition. We've got five 800MP codes to give away, and we want to see your best Minecraft creations.

If you want to be in with a chance of winning some free Microsoft Points, here is what you have to do:

1: Make something that says 'OXM' clearly within view of your creation (just spelling it in earth blocks is fine).

2: Upload a photo to Facebook by pausing the game and pressing Y.

3: Download the photo from Facebook.

4: Send the photo to us via Email, or on Twitter.

We'll update an album on our Facebook page with all of the best entries, and pick our five favourites on the afternoon of Friday the 22nd of June. You have to use the Xbox 360 version of Minecraft, and the judge's final decisions are - unsurprisingly - final.

Good luck with building an incredible structure, and don't forget to take a photo that really does it justice.

In the need of some inspiration, perhaps? Check out the latest OXM Land video, where Matt and Log go on a boating adventure to find the Inside Xbox Memorial Lighthouse. AHOY!

  1. Im not on facebook, cant i just just screen shot the tv?

  2. Can I win anyway for starting off the whole trend of making oxm related structures? lol nah I'm cool, I won the dartboard ages ago and I don't feel right taking anything else.

    But I'm claiming to be the creator of minecraft OXMthings forever! Knew I should have patented it.

  3. Noooooooooo i can't get on to it.Ah well.Those 800MSP would be nice though for some towards the Skyrim dlc.

    Yup, that's fine. Try to make it a nice shot though, eh? :)

    It doesn't have to be on the OXM server, just a screengrab from your own world is OK! :)

  5. Best I get my skates on and dig out the big hole so's I can build my underground castle

    Hah! Glad you're enjoying it! :D

  8. I'm cheap, I need 800 MS points, I like free stuff, you're on.

  9. I take it that the entries are due on the 22nd, which means I have only a week to complete Dragonsreach and all its glory.
    That is going to be very difficult considering the interior and exterior don't match up in Skyrim.

    Gotta say young Matthew, I'm terribly disappointed. You managed to singlehandedly trigger the most active thread we've had on these forums in years, surpassing even Skyrim and ME3 COMBINED, and you haven't even stopped by to visit us once. You are our patriarch, and you have abandoned us! DON'T YOU LOVE US ANYMORE, DADDY??!!!

  11. Hurrro all,
    Im in gonna give it a go later on when kids are in bed. 8)

    Oh man, that totally slipped off my radar! Sorry Grummy, busy times! :) Will pop over soon for a chat - should hopefully have some cool DD news soon... 8)

    What?! You can't just drop that hand grenade of tease-y awesomeness then run away?! That's just bloody cruel! :(

  14. I don't think I'd want to play much more DD after NG+ing it, any dlc that Matt has completely just broken an embargo on would have to substantially change things up for me to play it. :wink:

  15. ive posted my minecraft build on twitter :D

  16. i cant do any of that i dont have a twitter and for some reason it wont let me send emails because i have hotmail is there a mail address i can send this to.
