The team “404: Diamonds Not Found”have created a solution to help the community recieve alerts when Hackathon activities start, and they needed someone to test if the alerts is sent out. We were happy to oblige, and were happy to provide our contact info to their solution. Read more about their contribution at Community Champion | Arctic Cloud Developer Challenge Submissions

We released new API with new cool features for our beloved judges <3
How to gather data from iot stations without having them. Using retro ways!
The QR code!
Gathering of data – The game – Oh, so retro:
This is a way for the hackkers to get up and move during the hackaton, so this is the most retro thing of all. No sitting on a chair to play a game, but the really RETRO way of go to a location to play, you have to physically move!
So we really feel that we are a Community champion, we have encouraged and helped all the hackers, judges and the comittee to get up and move and get their step count up.
Health is number one!
TL;DR: We open-sourced our entire codebase under WTFPL.
We published the acdc-badge-sniper skill that tells competitors how to beat us.
We built a better scoreboard than the official one and gave it to every team.
We helped a neighbor-team with bedrock-base issues.
If that’s not sharing, nothing is.
At CrayCon Creepers, we believe in the collective good. We’ve built on the shoulders of giants, and now we’re extending a hand to those who need it.
Open Source Under WTFPL
Our entire codebase lives at https://github.com/Puzzlepart/ACDC-26 under the WTFPL (Do What The Fuck You Want To Public License). No strings attached. No complicated attribution requirements. Just pure, unfiltered open source.
Want our Minecraft bot framework? Take it. Need our React + Vite + Tailwind setup? It’s yours. Fancy the Cloudflare Workers deployment pipeline? Clone away.
LICENSE: https://github.com/Puzzlepart/ACDC-26/blob/main/LICENSE
Because good code deserves to be free.
The ACDC Badge Sniper Skill
We didn’t just open source our application code—we shared the meta-strategy. The acdc-badge-sniper is a Claude Code skill that helps teams identify high-ROI badge targets, rank them by effort vs. reward, and generate time-boxed action plans.
It’s a strategic planning tool that:
– Fetches live badge data from the ACDC API
– Analyzes your current stack and time constraints
– Produces ranked badge recommendations with evidence checklists
– Generates 60-minute action plans for maximum efficiency
Skill source: https://github.com/Puzzlepart/ACDC-26/blob/main/skills/acdc-badge-sniper/SKILL.md — Meta-gaming the competition, together.
We literally shared the playbook on how to win the competition. That’s confidence. That’s solidarity.
The Advanced Scoreboard
While the official stage scoreboard shows basic rankings, we built something better—and made it public for all teams to use: https://creepers.craycon.no/badges
Our scoreboard lets teams:
– Filter badges by status (missing, acquired, rejected)
– View detailed badge requirements and evidence
– Track their own progress without scrolling through leaderboards
– See what’s left to claim with time running out
It’s more functional than the official version. We didn’t have to share it publicly—we could’ve kept it as an internal advantage. But that’s not the comrade way.
Every team in ACDC can use it. Every team benefits. That’s the power of building in public.
Helping the Collective
When neighboring teams hit Minecraft-related roadblocks, we didn’t gate-keep. We showed them how to get out of adventure mode and back to building
The Sharing is Caring badge is ours because we built in public, documented in detail, and helped our comrades when they needed it.
#SharingIsCaring | #CommunityChampions
We couldn’t let another team miss out on the awesome solution from one of our sponsors, OneFlow. So when Evidently Crafted needed help, our very own Sebastian stepped in and helped them get access. Anytime!
Cepheo Crafting Helpful Creepers
The 8 bit bandits actively go out of their way to help other teams succeed. For us, ACDC is not just about what we build, but how we contribute along the way.
Andrew Bibby of BratwurstandBiscuits stopped by the 8 bit bandits camp where we had a chat about the challenges of integration to Minecraft.
There a lot of good online resources on how to connect and manipulate a Minecraft world, but most are geared towards local environments and simple installs. Taking it to the next level and integrating with AI clients, MCP servers, and Minecraft servers requires a lot of time consuming research, experimentation with a fair amount of frustration. Sharing our learnings was a two way street.
My discussions with Andy:
This helped with some unblocking for their project, and Joe from their team kindly helped us back in kind later when they gave use a valuable tip that helped us move forward on an important feature of our project. Karma is alive and well at ACDC!
Helping another team move faster and avoid known pitfalls is exactly what the Community Champion badge represents to us. Showing up, sharing openly, and treating the community’s progress as a shared win. We hope these extra details give the judges the info they need to award us this badge!
By sharing this skill we aim for the following badges:
Through the power of sharing! Our neighbor @logiqapps loaned our creeper head (home made) for a awesome fotoshoot. If annyone wants to borrow for awesome fotos, just shout!
In the magical world, a wizard or witch’s hat and wig are essential items. They symbolize not only their identity but also their power and status. It’s no wonder that many are reluctant to share these prized possessions. However, the team who must not be named is setting a shining example for others by embracing the philosophy that sharing is caring.
This team goes out of their way to help and encourage other teams, earning them the prestigious Community Champion badge. Their willingness to share their hat and wig has made a significant impact, allowing other teams to visualize their teamwork and solutions more effectively.
Teams like SnitchOps, The team who must be named, and others have benefited from borrowing our equipment. This spirit of collaboration and generosity fosters a stronger, more united community. By sharing our resources, we not only help others succeed but also create an environment where everyone can thrive.
So, let’s follow the lead of the team who must not be named and remember that sharing truly is caring. Together, we can achieve great things and continue to support each other in our magical endeavors.
Who says Slytherins can’t share or care? Not us. We have received a lot of help from kind teams and have returned it in kind.
Engaging other teams in creative, fun and productive conversation and helped with getting their project going (and gathering those sweet sweet points)
