June is Pride Month, but here on Minecraft.net, we're still celebrating the wonderful LGBTQ+ community, celebrating yourselves, recognising how far we've come, and building a 25-foot tall pride flag full of fish. What was that last one, you say? Ah, that's how me and my friends celebrated on our server, of course!
My friends and I met in a Minecraft server run by a streamer we all liked to watch. While building our houses around the central community area, we quickly realised that we had a lot in common, and built up our friendship through resource sharing and collaborative projects... and occasionally, trying to wrangle foxes and polar bears that really didn't want to be wrangled into being our pets.
Since many of our server members were part of the LGBTQ+ community, one of the first and most important things we built in our shared village was a giant waving Pride flag above the central building, made out of wool. We should probably have been saving that wool for beds, but no – the flag was more important than sleep! A few months later, we built a new server (mostly just so we could start fresh, for fun), and this one had an even BIGGER Pride flag, which took a couple of us an entire afternoon to figure out. We ended up settling on a huge glass box made of rainbow-coloured glass, filled with fish in the Pride flag colours. It floated about 50 feet up in the air, and cast a beautiful rainbow-shadow when the sun shone through it.
