Name of creation

The name of a creation should be a name that is standing out of other submissions. Don't name the creation something generic or it might be hard to distinguish it from other creations. Be wild and be creative! The name of the creation should follow a certain set of rules:

• Proper markdown

When submitting a new creation in the archive-submission channel, use the proper markdown (things like bold, italics, underscore and header style) style. To do it properly, use ## before the name of creation:

• Example Iron Farm: 
  • Incorrect: Iron Statue
  • Correct: ## Iron Statue
    
  • Don't use any other type of markdown (bold, cursive, underscore or bigger/smaller headers)
• Example Item Sorter
  • Incorrect: 8 types of Item Sorters
  • Correct: ## 8 types of Item Sorters
• Example World Eater
  • Incorrect: # World Destructor
  • Correct: ## World Destructor

• Not generic

Use a name that is recognizable and stands out compared to the other designs. Don't make it too complicated, think simple. It is good to know to avoid words like 'simple, fast, dirt-cheap, small' or simply a description what the build is ('4x4 piston door', T-flip flop or 'raid farm'). It is best to avoid using your own name in the title as well, but sometimes it is better in that case.

• Example Iron Farm: 
  • Incorrect: Iron Farm
  • Correct (example): Iron Statue
• Example Tree Farm:
  • Incorrect: Universal Tree Farm
  • Correct (example): Iron Statue
•  Example 4x4 piston door
  • Incorrect: 4x4 piston door
  • Correct (example): User1s 4x4 piston door
•  Example Villager Based Witch Farm
  • Incorrect: Simple Villager Breeder based Witch Farm
  • Correct (example): Buzz Lightning Witch Farm

• Family friendly
  

Don't use curse words or NSFW words in the name of your creation. Avoid also abbreviations using curse words. Curse words in other languages are also prohibited.

• Example Iron Farm: 
  • Incorrect: F*****k Golem Farm
  • Correct (example): Kill Golem Farm
•  Example Cactus Farm: 
  • Incorrect: Big F********ng Pickle
  • Correct (example): Ginormous Pickle

• Name is not too long

Sometimes the name of creation turns into a full sentence, avoid that. As few as 3-5 words is already enough. The best is a single words or abbreviation of a couple of words that turn into a 'readable' name. That way your name stands out compared to other designs.

• Example Bonemeal Farm:
  • Incorrect: MCPE Playerless Nether tree farm with Bedrock wither cage and bonemeal farm
  • Correct (example): Bonemeal from the Nether Tree
• Example Creeper Farm:
  • Incorrect: trident killing based creeper-only mob farm for simulation distance 4 without spiders
  • Correct (example): 4 Creepy Farm
• Example Shulker Loader:
  • Incorrect: SFSL (Small Fast Shulker Loader)
  • Correct (example): SAF Shulker Loader (Small and Fast Shulker Loader)

Creator

The creator is the maker of the creation. It can be done by one person or by multiple, however it is important that the person has actively worked on. If the person contributed help through support or by their own build, then it can be listed in the Credits.

Choose one of the following methods:

By User1 (Discord: @user1)

The name 'User1' is a made up name and can be replaced by a Discord name or Minecraft (Xbox Live) name

While in Discord, you can use the @ feature to ping them. That way players can access the profile of the creator

By User1 (Discord: @user1) and User2 (Discord: @user2)

If there are two users, use this

By: User1 (Discord: @user1), User2 (Discord: @user2) and User3 (Discord: @user3)

If there are 3 or more, then use commas to separate the users.

By User2 (Discord: @user2), improved by User1 (Discord: @user1)

It is possible that an user created the original design, but someone made it in Bedrock (if the original creator was Java) or that someone made a first design and then gets improved by another user

By Lots of people, archived by User1 (Discord: @user1)

“Lots of people” isn’t a specific person. It implies that either:
- The creator of the contraption is unknown
- The farm or contraption is so easy to build, that anyone could come up with it, that it cannot be pointed towards one person that made/discovered it

The 'archived by' will be the person that is submitting the creation

By User1 (YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@User1)

Instead of a Discord ping, a YouTube link is also possible. Choose one, not both.

By User1 (Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/@User1)

Instead of a Discord ping, a Twitter link is also possible. Choose one, not both.

Although Twitter is called X now, it will still be called Twitter in this channel (to avoid confusion)

By BilibiliUser1 (Bilibili: <>)

Instead of a Discord ping, a Bilibili link is also possible. Choose one, not both.

Version

It's important to know in which version a creation can work, as sometimes a creation works in one version but not the other due to changes in the game (game changes or bugs). For someone that wants to build it in their world should know if it is compatible with the version they play in.

Choose one of the following methods:

Version: 1.16.0 - Latest

Usually, the first version is around 1.16.0, as then most contraptions are archived.
It does not mean it cannot work in below 1.16, but it is unlikely it works

Version: 1.16.0 - 1.18.20

Here the version range is mentioned
Version range is used when the creation no longer works, due to changes in Minecraft (bugs or bugfixes)

Version: 1.16.0 - ?

• Note: Broken in 1.20.30, possibly broken in an earlier version

or

Version: 1.16.0 - ?

• Note: Broken in 1.20.30, possibly broken in an unknown version

An explanation must given for the “?”
There are two explanations, choose one
- Last tested version is given and said it may be broken earlier (first example with the '1.20.30)
- 'Broken in an unknown version' (second example)

Credits

It is important to give credit where it is due. There are many content creators on the Internet that steal builds of others. In the Technical Bedrock Archive we aim to give everyone the proper credit for their help.

Credit can be done in different ways:

• Support; Another person helps the creator(s) with giving advice on how to improve the build
• Inspiration; Another person build something and the creator(s) used the idea for their own creation, but not directly copy it 1:1,
• Using another creation; Using a creation of another person in the build
• Mechanic discovery; Using the discovery of a certain mechanic in their builds (e.g. Scaffolding in mob farms is discovered by jx67)

Choose one of the following methods:

Credits None

Sometimes there are no credits as a person was the first one to develop it (or didn’t had any inspiration from anywhere except Mojang related sources)

Credits None

• Note: Unknown list

When no credits are mentioned, even though there should be some credit, then this note is added

Credits

• User1 (Discord: @user1) for inspiration of this
• User2 (Discord: @user2) for providing information about [certain] mechanics
• User3 (Discord: @user3) for using this mechanic

If the inspiration has a image/video link, it is favorable to include this like this: inspiration of build

Credits

• User1 (Youtube: <>) for inspiration of this
• User2 (Twitter: <>) for proving information about [certain] mechanics
• User3 (Bilibili: <>) for using this mechanic

If a user has no (public) YouTube account or Discord account, an external link is favorable

Credits

• User1 (Discord: @user1)
• User2 (Discord: @user2)
• User3 (Discord: @user3)
• Note: Incomplete list

If people are mentioned without explaining why they are credited, this note must be added

Credits

• User1 (Discord: @user1)
• User2 (Discord: @user2)
• User3 (Discord: @user3)
• Note: See the website for the entire list

If more than 3 people are credited, the list will be listed on the website to reduce clutter in the Discord. On the website this note will not be added

Description

The description is a short summary of how the build works. Any mechanics that are being used or any people that have worked on it can be explained here. To help out, here are some questions that can help to write the description:

• • How does the farm or contraption work?
  • How to use the build?
  • Special mechanics used?
  • Special contraptions used by others? (credits required!)
  • Is the build a proof of concept?
  • Etc.

Important Information

Important Information consists of Information-Types that are used to compare different designs directly. That way the viewer can compare different creations quite easily. 

However for any Information-Type it depends whether it falls under Important Information or Extra Information. For example, the user needs to know for a mob farm which simulation distance it is for as the rates might change with simulation distance. For an item filter that is different, as it will work regardless of simulation distance. All Information-Types can be found under the page Submission Information

To know what falls under Important Information, what falls under Extra Information and what is not required, can be found on the format page for your Creation-Type.

Additional Information

This type of information includes showcases, tutorials, 'updates' for the build, structura's, block lists and the link to the submission on this website.

World downloads are required for every submission

Overview images are required for every submission

A tutorial is highly recommended, however not required

Structura, block list and showcases are recommended, but not required

See below examples for each type of information:

Extra Information

Extra Information consists of Information-Types that are used to know more about the creation. For example where to build it (dimensions, biomes), what tools you need (tridents), what gamerules are used and if there are any bugs or features affecting the creation.

To know what falls under Important Information, what falls under Extra Information and what is not required, can be found on the format page for your Creation-Type.

Extra information is only mentioned on the website
