Event Calendar
/events opens the Event Calendar. It looks 24 hours ahead and lists up to 12 upcoming events, with a status line at the top such as "Live now: Treasure Pond - 3m left" or "No live event. Next: Lucky Block Event in 41m".
- Gold = scheduled, blue = live now. Cyan marks the current day and hour.
- Tap an event for its details: name, description, start and end time.
- Use Refresh to update it, and Previous/Next to page through events.
The Event Calendar with a Treasure Pond showing as live
Open `/events` during a Treasure Pond (e.g. 13:01 UTC) so the status line reads "Live now: Treasure Pond" and the live event is blue. Capture the full screen.

Global giveaways
Every so often staff start a global giveaway. While it runs, random winners are drawn from every online OneBlock player on every server, so just being online gives you a chance.

Chat: "[Giveaway] A global giveaway has started!"

A new winner every 2 seconds when 11 or more players are online, otherwise every 6 seconds.

You get a "Giveaway Winner!" title with fireworks, and everyone sees what you won.

Chat: "[Giveaway] The global giveaway has ended!"
| Possible prize | Details |
|---|---|
| 2 Days Hero Rank | 48 hours |
| 2 Days Paladin Rank | 48 hours |
| 2 Days Champion Rank | 48 hours |
| 2 Days Demigod Rank | 48 hours |
| 2x Luxury Bundle | |

Every prize you can win has the same chance. You can't win a rank at or below a paid rank you already have, so a Champion can only win Demigod or a bundle.

NPC Hunts
During an NPC Hunt, hidden NPCs are tucked away around spawn. Find one and interact with it to collect its prize. Find them all to unlock a Completion Prize.
/huntOpen NPC Hunts: active hunts, your progress, and prize claims- Each hunt shows your progress, for example "Halloween Hunt - Found 3/13".
- Some hunts hide each NPC's name and prize until you find it.
- Finding an NPC gives its prize straight away: "Found Hidden Skeleton 2! (2/13) Prize: …".
- When you have found every NPC, open
/huntand press Claim Completion Prize. - If a prize couldn't be delivered (for example a full inventory), make space and press Retry Unclaimed Prizes.
The current hunt is the Halloween Hunt: 13 hidden pumpkin-headed skeletons with a pet as the completion prize. Prizes are listed on Halloween Event.
Note
Prizes can only be claimed at spawn, after your data has loaded.The NPC Hunts menu showing partial progress on the Halloween Hunt
On an account that has found some hunt NPCs, open `/hunt` and then the Halloween Hunt. Capture the detail screen with partial progress (e.g. 7/13) and the locked Completion Prize. Make sure no NPC locations are visible.
