Winners & Judging

This year's Creator Camp drew 720,000 submissions (500K+ in week one, steady growth after), judged on a 40% community vote + 60% pro panel split. Build of the Year went to the indie team behind 'Growing City' — a vertical metropolis of moss and copper that the judges called 'the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, in pixels'. Track winners:

All 12 finalist builds passed marketplace review and are free on Bedrock's 'Winners' tab; Java players can import via the official map-pack link. Judge commentary and four champion interviews are live — the 'Breathing Greenhouse' creator published a block-by-block tutorial of the dome mechanism, a must-watch for redstoners.

Next Edition & Advice

Mojang confirmed Creator Camp returns in March 2027 with a new Co-op track (teams of 4+). To prep, train with 'theme constraints': complete a full scene using only 3 primary block types — restraint, not volume, is the recurring trait across winning entries.

Warning: Judges weight 'consistency' above 'scale' — a polished 200-block scene beats an abandoned 20,000-block megastructure.
