Build an asset pack that brings one place to life.

The brief
Pick a place, a biome, a village, or a city. Real or invented: a mangrove swamp, a cliffside fishing village, a neon night market, a frostbitten outpost, a mushroom forest.
Then build an asset pack of two or more models that belong there. Anything counts as long as it lives in your place: decor and furniture, buildings and stalls, characters and creatures, armor and tools, street clutter, plants, vehicles, signage.
The packs that win won't be the biggest, they'll be the ones where every piece clearly comes from the same world. Shared palette, shared scale, shared story.
Need a spark? Places we’d love to see
- A desert oasis: palm cluster, market tent, water well, wandering trader
- A deep-sea trench: anglerfish, vent chimneys, a rusted submersible
- A medieval village square: fountain, baker's stall, guard armor set
- A cyberpunk alley: ramen cart, holo-sign, courier drone, dumpster
- A taiga logging camp: sawmill, sled, lumberjack, timber piles

10th2.30 final0 votes
Ever wanted new mobs in the deep ocean? Or just a new trident and a new armor set? These assets will give the ocean a more vibrant, but also dangerous vibe. Gameplay advice: The Anglerfish and the Great Anglerfish should be agressive mobs that could drop items that are required to craft the Anglerfish Armor and the Anglerfish Trident.

How packs are judged
Judges score every entry against the same four criteria, weighted as shown. Final placings blend those scores (70%) with the community vote (30%), and the most-voted pack takes Community Choice outright.
Sense of place
25%Does the pack clearly evoke its biome, village, or city? Dropped into that world, would every piece feel at home?
Craftsmanship
30%Modeling, texturing, and (where used) rigging and animation quality. Clean geometry, deliberate palettes, silhouettes that read at a glance.
Creativity
25%A fresh take, an unexpected place, a clever twist, pieces we haven't seen a hundred times before.
Pack cohesion & presentation
20%The models share a scale, palette, and style, and the listing sells it: good names, thumbnails, and descriptions that present the pack like it shipped.
What’s on the line
- Cash prize pool
- A real cash pool, split across the podium. Pool size and split are announced in the Discord.
- A prize from BB Academy
- Our partner BB Academy is putting up a special prize for the winners, on top of the pool. Every entrant gets 25% off their Blockbench courses just for taking part, the code is on your entry once you submit.
- Home page spotlight
- Winning packs ride the front page and the featured rail for the whole next season.
- Community Choice award
- The pack with the most crowd votes takes its own award, whatever the judges say.
Season rules
The whole rulebook, in plain language. Entering means agreeing to it.
Anyone with a Workshop account can enter, free. One entry per creator, you can edit or withdraw it until submissions close, and the last version you submit is the one that counts.
An entry is an asset pack of 2 to 16 of your own models, published on the Workshop and set to Free. Every model must be uploaded after the theme drop (July 17, 5:00pm ET), pre-existing work isn't eligible, and must load in the 3D viewer, a listing locked to a turntable video can't be entered (judges and voters need to turn the model over themselves).
Original work only, made for this contest. No reuploaded, ripped, or traced assets, and no AI-generated models or textures. Reusing your own base rigs and painting techniques is fine, that's craft, not copying.
Your models stay yours. By entering you grant Blockbench Workshop a non-exclusive license to display and promote your entry (front page, social posts, the results board).
While the contest is live, entered models are locked: they can't be deleted, made paid or showcase-only, or have their file swapped. Withdraw your entry first if you need to change one.
Voting is one vote per account, pick your favorite pack, change your mind any time until voting closes (August 7, 5:00pm ET). Tallies stay hidden until results. Accounts created after submissions close can't vote, and vote manipulation (alt accounts, vote trading) disqualifies the entry it benefited.
Winners are decided 70% by the judges' rubric scores and 30% by the community vote, plus a separate Community Choice award for the most-voted pack. Judges' decisions are final, and we may disqualify any entry that breaks these rules.
