Close to Six Thousand Five Hundred dollars were raised last year by Craftathon for children hospitalized or in domestic violence shelters, and their back again this year to raise more. Setting up a festive weekend full this Saturday and Sunday, December 22nd - 23rd, with all proceeds going to the Child's Play Charity.

All happening on their Minecraft server, attendees will be able to play custom mini-games and survival multiplayer (SMP) alongside several popular Minecraft YouTubers like JeromeASF, Generzon, Char and more. Panels and meet-and-greets will be happening throughout the weekend as well. A minimum donation of Five dollars is required in order to access the server.

Last year's event included a panel about "Building a Business with Minecraft" hosted by Block and with guest appearances ranging from Minecraft developer slicedlime to YouTubers JeromeASF, AntVenom, and Generzon just to name a few.

Craftathon currently has a very active public Discord and you can check out their website or at Craftathon.org.
