Announcements & Messages

Stay updated with the latest news from our server leadership! Here are recent announcements from the Minister of Leisure and the Moderation team.

Newsletter Update

Oakay’s newsletters will now be monthly instead of weekly. This change will give us more time to gather exciting updates, event highlights, community spotlights, and everything else you love into one solid roundup. You can expect each issue to drop at the start of every month, keeping you in the loop without the spam.

Tunnel you later, Oakay? Voting Period

Voting for the Nether Hub Tunnel Competition is now open, and you have until Sunday to vote for your favorite tunnels! You can vote as many times as you want, so be sure to support the ones you love. Prizes will be awarded to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, including netherite tools, beacons, and a stash of diamonds. Plus, the 1st place winner will be added to Oakay’s brand new Hall of Fame — a special spot to highlight amazing players, builds, and events.
