Hello there! Welcome to Base Race =]
How fast can you collect the list of items, overcoming any challenges in a world you've never seen before?
Can you create a themed build, using only the limited blocks in the list?
The Challenge:
Base Race consists of two stages. The first stage is to collect all of the items on the list and put them in the provided chest within 2 hours and 40 minutes. The second stage is to create a themed build using the blocks that you collected. Post a reply in the 'Monthly Player List' thread to be added to the player list each month, so people will be able to find your channel and videos easier! There's also the 'Base Race Videos' section on the forum, where you can post your video links and find other players' videos.
Ground Rules: Play in survival mode in the current version of Minecraft. You can choose to play the Base stage in creative mode (there is a button in the cache book to switch yourself to creative mode). Do not harvest any materials from the spawn building. There is only one bed, do not break it or make a new bed: if you die, you will respawn here.
Stage 1: The Race.
All the items you must collect are displayed on the monument and in a book in your inventory. The yellow items will always only be single blocks. The black items will have random amounts to collect. The challenge is to complete stage 1 within 2 hours and 40 minutes. At the end of each week I will post a Player Update video, talking about 2 videos per player. To be included in this, post your video and a sentence describing it in the Base Race Videos section of this forum.
(The 'week' begins on the 1st of each month, with the second week beginning on the 8th, etc. I recommend posting two 20 minute videos per week).
Stage 2: The Base.
The yellow blocks from stage 1 are your core building blocks which you can use as many of as you like in your build (you must use at least 1 of each). For the white blocks/items, you must include the total number of each of them (no more and no less) in your build. Red asterisks mean you can use any type/colour of that item. You must use all the blocks, and only those blocks, from stage 1, with the following exceptions...

Future Spawn Bases: Builds posted in the Base Race Builds section of the forum will be entered into a random draw, to select the spawn base for the month after next. (I will ask the randomly selected Base creator to DM me with their world so I can do this).
