The haunted pumpkins have been collected, the candy has been eaten, and Halloween 2026 is officially in the books. Thank you to everyone who took part. This was our biggest seasonal event yet, and the server was buzzing every night of the hunt. In this post we'll wrap up the results and share our roadmap for November.
Halloween Event Results
Over two weeks, players found thousands of haunted pumpkins and traded an enormous pile of candy at the Halloween stall. Several players tracked down all 50 pumpkins and earned the exclusive "Headless" cosmetic. All rewards have been delivered in-game, so check your inventory and cosmetics menu if you haven't already. If anything is missing, open a ticket and staff will sort it out.
November Roadmap
With the event behind us, November is all about polish and preparation for winter. Here's what the team is working on:
Performance improvements to reduce lag during busy evenings, especially around spawn.
A refreshed spawn area with clearer signposts, a new tutorial path and better access to the minigame hub.
New quests for early-game players to help them settle in faster.
Behind-the-scenes groundwork for a big winter update arriving in December.
Ongoing Events
Don't forget that the Cozy Autumn Cottages build contest is still open until November 30. If you haven't claimed a plot yet, type /contest join in-game. There's still plenty of time to create something amazing.

Halloween by the Numbers
This year's spooky season was packed with activity. Players claimed thousands of treat bags, defeated waves of night-time mobs and turned the candy stall into the busiest shop at spawn. Many of you also decorated your bases, and the haunted base tour on Halloween night was a huge hit. Thank you for making the event so lively, and congratulations to every single pumpkin hunter.
