Hello, forums! Welcome back to another month of Community Highlights! For anyone who is new to this, in this series I summarise all of the amazing updates, community posts and user activity over the latest month into just one thread. I would like to apologise in advance for the strange colour scheme, which was supposed to look like the RGB bundle, but I feel all this has achieved is making the thread look even less professional than it originally was. Besides that, there are no other important changes from the previous edition, so let's just get right into it!
This section summarises all of the major updates and changes that have happened across the network over the past month!
Bedrock Cosmetics Refresh! 
The month began with an update right away on November 1st. Many of the Bedrock server cosmetics got some refreshed looks, including the food and emoji buddy packs and the flight cage pack. See it all for yourself by visiting the official news thread here!
Java Map Rotations!
On November 12th, the team announced a new map rotation system for the Java network! This means that some maps will be added and some maps will be removed every time this happens, and the team is aiming to do this every 3 months. This rotation also included the introduction of several new maps. You can find out which map changes happened and what the new maps look like by reading the official news post here!
RGB Content!
On November 15th, the RGB bundle and a new map to go along with it were released! The new map is for Lucky Islands Teams of 4, you can check out how it looks in the official news thread here
Survival Games Update!
Survival Games also received an update this month, featuring a new map called Space, supply drops, and redesigned cosmetics for the Survival Games rank along with a new one! The new cosmetic is the Explosion kill effect, and you can see the animation for yourself in the official news post here
Winter Update!
Snow and ice arrived on CubeCraft on November 27th, bringing with it a winter lobby and lobby hunt, winter game maps, the return of the festive bundle and two limited-time Winter gamemodes. Present Rush is a game new to Bedrock, and a community favourite, Snowman Survival, has been added to both networks. You can get the Blizzard win effect for free by completing the Bedrock toy hunt, and there is also a chance to win some free loot by participating in the winter competition on our Discord server! Read more here.
What's Next?
Since the last time we checked in on the public updates board, the Battle Arena update is still in progress. However, three new updates have also been added! First up is the EggWars update, which has been getting the community quite excited. It should include an overhaul of shop pricing, a new feature shop, and overall making EggWars feel more like the OG version again. As well as this, there is an update for BlockWars in the works. This update should result in the full release of Giga BlockWars, after being a Beta gamemode for over a year. It should also feature two new Giga gamemodes and three new CTF maps. Finally, the last update is a map update, which should see some of the new Java maps that were discussed during the Java maps rotation coming to Bedrock too, as well as some more new maps. Remember that more details and spoilers may be released down the line, so keep your eye on the public updates board!

Top Suggestions
What Cubecraft Can Learn from the 1.19 Update by @RelatedNoobs This thread opens some interesting discussions about the 1.19 update and what RelatedNoobs thinks could have been done better. Later in the thread we see some very interesting responses, both from other community members and official team members. I would definitely recommend reading this thread if you're looking for more insight into the biggest update of the year.
Why Birthday Map should be brought back. by @qLewiss Strangely enough, a suggestion thread about this exact topic has been in the top rankings before, so I'll spare you the details. But let it be known just how much the Birthday map was loved by the community!

Top Creations
Forumer's Hunger Games: A Cubecraft (Forums) Fanfiction! by @Desiderata This is surely one of the biggest creative projects the forums has seen in a long time! I'm very excited but not surprised that this thread took the top spot, and I highly recommend that you go and read the story (or at least the part that is out so far)!
CubeCraft Gamemodes | Pixar Movie Posters Style (AI) by @Eli Have you ever wonder what the CubeCraft gamemodes might look like if they were actually movie posters? No? Oh well, this thread should answer that question for you regardless, as Eli has created movie posters for them, with the help of AI of course.
Some prefixes I made part 2 by @WorriedSkate940 A simple but very nice creation, WorriedSkate940 has created some new prefixes for potential use in future CubeCraft bundles. What do you think?
