New on Realms: My Summer Vacation

Going for a cruise is an acceptable itinerary item, but a little blasé. Add piracy to the mix however, and now you have a vacation event to brag about! Crafty Cannoneers is a minigame where you’ll have to fight tooth-and-cutlass for the sand strip in between the opposing teams’ ships, as resources there are pivotal to emerge victorious. You see, in true pirate fashion, your crewmates aboard your own ship will charge you a premium price per cannonball – this life isn't free! Whether shooting cannonballs at consenting passengers of nearby ships or stealing a candy bar from the vending machine on the ferry (it was stuck in the flap door, so I picked it up when I made my purchase - still counts though), these are equally dastardly accomplishments to add to the vacation retrospective!

KING OF THE JUNGLE

by Leovardo & Slime & Slap

What is summer without a safari? Taking in the wildlife, being face to face with certain death from apex predators, and ultimately experiencing nature in its truest form: through a car window. Or as with King of the Jungle, your game monitor! This inspiration map has it all, with a dense, lush environment populated by colorful parrots and toucans alongside majestic elephants and giraffes. And let’s not forget about the hard-to-spot chameleon or the lemur that’s just hanging out, and, of course, the titular lion! Take your time admiring, but if you start to harbor adverse feelings towards this posh, overfed cat and its obnoxious regalia, feel free to knock that crown off its head, and you’ll have a cool story to tell! Do ensure that you’re in Creative Mode, however.

 
CUSTOM SKYWARS

by SubChronos & Florasrabon

When it’s this hot outside, it’s a shame to remain on land, or at sea even. Take to the skies with a hot air balloon ride, try hang gliding, or for the more adventurous type, why not wage aerial war? Custom Skywars has everything your warring heart desires, with ten different maps and multiple settings to make this conflict experience truly yours. After all, your time off is exactly that – yours. So, you should enjoy it however you like, and that goes for the leisure campaigns you choose to undertake too.
