Players who mine 500,000 end stone will earn a special mystery gift, and players who mine 1,000,000 or are in the top 5 overall will win an even better mystery gift!

Additional Information

Event will span from 01/03/2020 to 31/03/2020 with a possibility to extend or shorten depending on progress made. Thank you everyone for participating in these monthly events and I hope to see you out there in the void!

…well not in the void, just above it. =)

Winners

Congratulations to the top miners! These are all the players who will be receiving their prizes:

Ever wonder what liquid cake taste like? Grab yourself a brewing stand and find out!

For the rest of this month you will find Alchemy a bit more rewarding then normal, with an added sweet boost to XP.

So that’s the sweetness in the air, but what about the sour? There’s a creature that floats around in the air that can leave a sour taste in your mouth when you’re hit from behind by a fireball…

Kill enough of these foul floating puffballs and you might find a rare unbreakable item…
