June 2025: Pride Gardens Event opens

Pride Gardens Event was an event on the Dogcraft Server that took place on [edit this!]

The Event

The Pride Gardens event was an UNOFFICIAL Dogcraft event that opened on the 28th of June at 10am NZT to celebrate International Pride day, as well as Pride in general. Built over the month of June by several players, the event area consisted of a garden built up around a lake in a flower forest biome, surrounded by a large glass rainbow wall. Large mushrooms coloured to represent pride flags were connected by winding paths, with small dioramas featuring assorted players celebrating Pride and enjoying the area. Above the main area, a series of pride themed minecraft bees watched over everything.

One could access the event via either the phome /PrideGardens or via the Retriever NTN at 5500 in the East tunnel. Taking the NTN would bring players to Pride Station alongside the event area, crossing the rainbow bridge would then bring you into the main event space, joining up near the phome and area map.

Event Ethos

As Dogcraft does not celebrate Pride in any official capacity, this event was intended to give LGBTQIA+ players and friends a space in which they could both celebrate and be celebrated. The infoboard located at the event phome lays out the motivation behind the building of the event space and explains why Pride is important. It reads as follows:

Welcome to Pride Gardens! A place to celebrate and take pride in your identity. A place to remind you that you're never alone. Why does Pride Matter? To celebrate Pride, is to create a space where people can feel safe to be themselves. To show people that no matter what, you are not alone. There are many others who are similar to you. You are valid and worthy of love. You are always welcome. LGBTQIA+/Queer people still face discrimination and fear every day all over the world. And for some, the only place they can truly be themself is online, in communities like Dogcraft. For many, Pride is a time to celebrate their friendships and chosen families. The people who shaped them into the happiest version of themself. Pride is about remembering the fight it took to get to today, and the fight it will take to get to tomorrow. Remembering the people who fought for us and those who fight for us still, to allow us the right of existence. In this garden we are celebrating you.
