Y’all.
These entries were so good.
Last month, we asked you to tell us whether you were an indoor or outdoor person, and you rose to the occasion by submitting some of our favorite Creativerse screenshots ever. It’s always hard to pick the winners, but this one was especially challenging.
As it turns out, a lot of you are outside people. In fact, there were so many outside entries that we quickly realized we couldn’t do justice to the build-off without adding a third category: Found Shots. These are outdoor shots that were cool but mostly untouched from the original world template.
That makes a total of 15 winners: 5 outdoor shots, 5 indoor shots, and 5 found outdoors shots. Here they are...

[h3]A1WEND1L -
Isle of the Purple Pagoda[/h3]
Pinch me, I'm dreaming. Seriously, I had to do a double take with this one.
"Is that actually Creativerse?" It is. It's also a masterclass in building, shot composition, and use of color.
[h3]Mordred -
Minnie's haberdashery[/h3]
Mordred came in 2nd for most entries submitted (congrats A1WEND1L for 1st), but that's cool -- we enjoyed every one of them. Especially this glorious shot from their series paying homage to Quentin Tarantino.
[h3]RSoM LuckySheep -
Sir Marvin the Turtle's Magnificent Ambulatory Observatorium[/h3]
I have no idea what otherworldly wizardry Sir Marvin and his friends get up to, but whatever it is, I would like to know more dot gif. RSoM LuckySheep can play the creative cam like Miles Davis played the trumpet.
[h3]Iggdrasil -
Human Fortress - Square[/h3]
I've seen a lot of castle builds over the years, so it takes a lot to raise my eyebrow at another one, but I love the framing here, as well as the seamless blending with a mountain. The design is cool, and all that reinforced iron makes me feel like I'd have a fighting chance against a horde of invading Things.
[h3]soaringfreedom -
main street HOGS HEAD TOWN[/h3]
The mix of intimate detail and grand scale in this one is magical: the way the horizon draws the eye inward, from the detailed outer edges to the vast horizon that shrinks to a teeny dot in a rule of thirds sweet spot...

Inside[/h2]
[h3]omarajbere31766 -
Inside the Cave of Wonders[/h3]
This one is deceptively simple, but I love the use of color. I also love omarajbere's intriguing description:
"Take a cave or cavern. Place all different styles of lights about it and put a lot of ice or snow on the ceiling and alternately throw fire bombs and freeze bombs at it and see what happens." What happens!? I must know!
[h3]єäяєɴd3ℓ -
Salon Fantaisie[/h3]
єäяєɴd3ℓ submitted a whole bunch of amazing shots, but I love the in-game items to arc sign pixel art ratio in this. I also want to go to there. You can build it yourself with
this awesome blueprint.
[h3]AlexStudio -
Дося in home[/h3]
This is like a really well done selfie but in Creativerse. I feel like I know a lot about this character that AlexStudio's created. Actually scratch that, all I know is they have good taste and an enigmatic energy that intrigues me.
[h3]CILOOR -
INSIDE THE HOUSE[/h3]
I've always been skeptical of the border effect in the creative cam (which sometimes looks like what I call "ugly borderlands") but this has convinced me it can be great. The lighting, block choices, and filters all come together for a really cozy but unique interior. Build it yourself with
this blueprint.
[h3]Hororogoro -
In the Library[/h3]
The FOV slider in the creative cam can get pretty crazy, but this is the perfect use of sliding it up to 11. There's so much detail packed in, and the edges are far enough away that they don't look super warped. This looks like a nice place to feel guilty about not reading a book while I browse my phone.

Outside (Found)[/h2]
[h3]Rebecca -
Gliding through the skies[/h3]
If you've ever tried to capture an action shot of other players doing cool stuff (or in my case, footage for the game's trailer captured from 3 computers using both hands and my foot), you know how hard it can be. Epic shot!
[h3]Mirky -
Exploiting Mother Nature[/h3]
I like this one a lot. I almost didn't pick it because...well, it's a visual glitch. But Entuland convinced me:
"Clever play of the 'inside' part of the theme, this is a shot taken from inside the terrain, exploiting the see-through when you are looking at textures from the 'wrong end.'" Also it looks cool.
[h3]Livia -
Leafi Mountain for the Inside Outside event[/h3]
I can totally see Leafi in there. From the description:
"There are two rivers coming out of his eye's like tears so I called them Leafi Tear River." Packaging a fun idea along with a striking shot makes this landscape pic a winner.
[h3]GG -
The Secret Cave - Outside[/h3]
It's a great shot of a great spot in a great game. I love it!
[h3]Schatten -
#insideoutsed #coldbutterflies[/h3]
The technical limitations of the game's draw distance sometimes distracts from an otherwise great shot (speaking of which, we're looking at adding fog to obscure the jagged edges of unloaded chunks). This shot, however, uses that limitation to its benefit, making the world look like it's a tiny planet you could circumnavigate on a day hike.
ːcreatiblockː
Congratulations to the winners, who now have the rare and elusive Trophy Gauntlets (including Gold, Silver, and Bronze). Look to see their shots in a loading screen near you.
Thanks to everyone who participated! This was a lot of fun, and don’t forget: if you submitted something, you'll find a handful of Qbits waiting for you in your inventory! Go buy yourself a nice blueprint kit.
