Events are timed competitions and PvP events. /events opens an overview of the events on your gamemode: which one is running now and how long until the next one starts. On Skyblock, Farming, Fishing and Mining events run on a fixed rotation; the top 3 players of each win event crate keys.
The /events menu#
/events opens the Events menu. It is for information only: the items show a status, they do not start anything when clicked.
| Item | Event | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wheat | Farming Event | Harvest crops while the event runs |
| Diamond Pickaxe | Mining Event | Mine ores while the event runs |
| Fishing Rod | Fishing Event | Catch fish while the event runs |
| Chest | Envoy | Crates drop across the PvP area; see Envoy |
| Golden Helmet | KOTH | Capture and hold the hill; see KOTH and Outposts |
Each item ends with one of two status lines:
- ● Active now with a timer: the event is running, and the timer shows the time it has left.
- ○ Next starts in with a timer: the time until the next scheduled start.
An event that is neither running nor scheduled on your gamemode is left out of the menu. Envoy and KOTH appear on servers where those PvP events run.
What runs where#
| Gamemode | Farming Event | Fishing Event | Mining Event | Envoy and KOTH |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Skyblock | Automatic, every 12 hours | Automatic, every 12 hours | Automatic, every 12 hours | Yes |
| Prison | Not scheduled | Not scheduled | Not scheduled | No |
| Lifesteal | Not scheduled | Not scheduled | Not scheduled | Yes |
| Survival | Not scheduled | Not scheduled | Not scheduled | Yes |
On Prison, Lifesteal and Survival the Farming, Fishing and Mining events have no automatic schedule; they only appear in /events if staff start one by hand.
Skyblock schedule#
| Event | Length | Repeats every | Order |
|---|---|---|---|
| Farming Event | 5 minutes | 12 hours | First |
| Fishing Event | 5 minutes | 12 hours | 4 hours after Farming |
| Mining Event | 5 minutes | 12 hours | 4 hours after Fishing |
The three events are spaced 4 hours apart, so a Skyblock event starts roughly every 4 hours. Start times are not fixed clock times; check /events for the countdown. Only one of these events can run at a time. If another one is still running when an event is due, that start is skipped until its next turn 12 hours later.
How the competition works#
- When an event starts, chat announces it, for example "A farming event has started!" or "A mining event has started! Mine ores to earn points and win rewards!".
- While it runs, every scoring block you break or fish you catch adds points to your score.
- Every minute, chat shows the current top 3: "The farming event is active, current top 3 players:" followed by
1. Player (score)lines. - When the time is up, chat shows "The farming event has ended! Top 3 players:" with the final top 3.
- The top 3 players receive their rewards.
Skyblock rewards#
The same rewards apply to all three events.
| Place | Reward |
|---|---|
| 1st | 3 event crate keys |
| 2nd | 2 event crate keys |
| 3rd | 1 event crate key |
The event crate key ("Earn rewards by placing in Skyblock events") opens anywhere. Its rewards:
1 reward per opening. The key can be used anywhere.

Scoring on Skyblock#
Farming Event#
| Crop | Points per block |
|---|---|
| Wheat | 1 |
| Carrots | 2 |
| Potatoes | 2 |
| Beetroots | 2 |
| Sugar Cane | 1 |
| Bamboo | 1 |
| Melon | 2 |
| Pumpkin | 2 |
| Cocoa | 1 |
| Nether Wart | 1 |
- Crops only score when fully grown. Sugar cane and bamboo score at any height, and melons and pumpkins always count.
- A crop block placed by a player in the last 30 seconds does not score, so placing a melon or pumpkin and breaking it again earns nothing.
Fishing Event#
| Catch | Points |
|---|---|
| Cod (raw or cooked) | 1 |
| Salmon (raw or cooked) | 1 |
| Pufferfish | 2 |
| Tropical Fish | 3 |
Only fish count. Treasure and junk catches score nothing.
Mining Event#
| Ore | Points |
|---|---|
| Coal Ore, Deepslate Coal Ore | 1 |
| Copper Ore, Deepslate Copper Ore | 1 |
| Nether Quartz Ore | 1 |
| Iron Ore, Deepslate Iron Ore | 2 |
| Redstone Ore, Deepslate Redstone Ore | 2 |
| Nether Gold Ore | 2 |
| Gold Ore, Deepslate Gold Ore | 3 |
| Lapis Lazuli Ore, Deepslate Lapis Lazuli Ore | 3 |
| Diamond Ore, Deepslate Diamond Ore | 5 |
| Emerald Ore, Deepslate Emerald Ore | 8 |
| Ancient Debris | 10 |
Ore blocks that a player placed within the last day do not score; only naturally generated ores count.
Tips#
- Keep
/eventshandy: the countdown tells you when to be on your island with crops grown, a fishing rod ready or a pickaxe at the ores. - Grow crops to full size before a Farming Event starts so you can harvest the moment it opens.
- Stay online until the end message; leaving early forfeits a top-3 reward.
