Hello everyone!
The team has been working hard behind the scenes and we are excited to finally announce our “Create a Mod” contest for 2024! We had some incredible submissions in 2023, so we are extremely excited to see what 2024 has to offer.
We’ve partnered with Mod.io for this contest. We’ll use their website for submissions. Details around the voting process for this year are listed below, as it has changed from what we did last year.
