BadWolfMC has a few regular seasonal events, largely hosted on [[BadWolfMC Alpha]]. These include the Valentine's Build Contest, the Easter Egg Hunt, the Halloween Event, and the Winter Event.

==Valentine's Build Contest==
Hosted in a special little pocket universe on [[BadWolfMC Alpha|Alpha]] that will allow your imagination to prance through the flowery meadow of creative mode. Go to '''/vday''' or travel from Cupid’s Corner at '''/spawn''' to claim your plot and get building! All plots are 51x51x250 and are reserved by using the (free) Residence rental signs located on the southeast corner of each plot.

Prizes include Cupid's Arrowhead (a nether star) for third place, Cupid's Wings (enchanted elytra) for second place, and the coveted Cupid's Bow (bow enchanted with Power 10, Infinity, Flame, Mending, & Unbreaking 3) for first place.

== Easter Egg Hunt==
Roll out for our popular Easter Egg Hunt with over 200 eggs hidden in over 90 chests throughout the Alpha server. Find them all and trade them in to the Easter Bunny for collectible items! All server builds are potential hiding spots. No blocks need to be broken to access any eggs, and no eggs are hidden on player property.

The Easter event also features our invisible Cloud Maze for endless cursing and pinky cramps. Access it by jumping into the rabbit hole at spawn!

== Stars ==
A long time ago, in a galaxy… just a little ways off, really — it’s not that far, only over on [[BadWolfMC Gamma]]. And it happens every May so “a long time ago” doesn’t quite fit either. Anyway… Stars is our annual celebration of the Star Wars universe. Players can choose to join forces with the Rebels or the Empire as they blast through puzzles and mazes to build their very own saber, only available during this event, which they can take with them back to Avalon!

=== Episode One: The Scourge of Geonosia ===
==== Lore ====
The Clone Wars have ended and the EMPIRE has emerged from the former Galactic Republic, vowing to crush its enemies with a vengeance. The war machine of GEONOSIA, once known for its massive droid factories, is now rumored to be constructing a SUPER WEAPON for the EMPIRE. But intelligence reports from the desert planet suggest that something has gone horribly wrong between the EMPIRE and the GEONOSIANS.

==== History ====
"The Scourge of Geonosia" was the first installment in the Stars event, available May 4 through May 15, 2022.

== Halloween==
The Great Pumpkin at '''/spawn''' will whisk you away to a land of night terrors, where bizarre creatures prowl the grounds, and a dark mansion lures you inside with the promise of danger and reward (also use '''/halloween''').

===The Haunted Mansion===
Visit the library where the books wander off their shelves to attack unsuspecting victims, or the ghostly ballroom where the apparitions quickly lose their tempers if you get too close. And be careful in the kitchens -- the undead cooks tend to throw their sherry bottles. Things start to get strange on the second floor -- something seems to have gone very wrong here. Explore the many rooms and battle the creatures that remain to avenge the fallen and loot the rare treasure. The more adventurous will discover hidden rooms — has anyone else noticed that this house seems to grow new rooms every year?! And stumble through the secret entrance to The Labyrinth of the Damned, where those who persevere will be greatly rewarded. Proceed to the upper floors if you dare -- thick with danger and mystery, only the most courageous will make it to the theater in the apex of the mansion, where menacing creatures make their nest. Do you dare disturb them?

===Beetlejuice!===
New in 2022, experience our most ambitious Halloween update yet! So you’re dead and doomed to haunt your old house for no less than 125 years, and the new inhabitants are just so… different! Can you get rid of them by yourself? Or will you resort to getting help from… freelancers?! And watch out for those sand worms!

Full of puzzles, mini quests, mind-boggling mechanics, and stunning visuals, our Beetlejuice event is sure to keep you entertained! Find the entrance through the north-east tunnel from Halloween Town!

===The Monster House===
New in 2021, Meet the Haunted Mansion’s little sister — buried alive in a tragic accident, her spirit possesses the house and eats everyone and everything that wanders too close, while her dutiful husband watches over her and really wants the damned kids to stay off his lawn! Find the entrance through the north-west tunnel from Halloween Town!

===The Lair of the Poltergeist===
Carved into the mountains behind the mansion, find the entrance to the Poltergeist’s Lair. Peeves has haunted the mansion for years — now discover his dark roots. Bring your sword, and maybe some extra Depends. And be sure to have sounds on.

===The Pink Palace Apartments===
Tucked in the misty woods of Oregon, a sinister spinster has waited for centuries, luring away any children who get too close with promises of a better life — only to steal their souls. Can you uncover the Pink Palace’s dark secrets and unravel the Beldam’s web? Defeat her for chances of netherite ingots and other hidden loot! Find the entrance on the other side of our Halloween Town!

===Trick or Treat!===
Halloween Town has gotten into the spooky spirit! Follow the trail near the /halloween warp to check out the creepy decor, battle a few undead monsters, and search for the candy baskets hidden around the town for fun treats!

===Costume Contest & Pumpkin Carving!===
Join us for our annual pumpkin carving and costume contest! Dress in your most ghoulish getup and have a scary good time! The festivities last each year until 11:00pm EST on October 31, when the contests will be judged.

BadWolfMC's Winter Wonderland event runs annually from early-December to mid-January. Accessed from Santa's Sleigh in the [[BadWolfMC Alpha]] spawn's seasonal corner or via the '''/winter''' warp, the event is sugarplum jam-packed with things to do and see, facilitated by quests 

===Winter Quests===
Talk to the Ticket Witch in the train station for individual quests that will take you all around our winter wonderland!

[[File:NutcrackerSuite.png|alt=Nutcracker Suite|thumb|Nutcracker Suite]]

And finally, locate the hidden entrance to the '''Lair of the Mouse King''', where you can battle against the rancorous rodent and his minions!

=== Sugar Plum Realm===
[[File:SugarPlumRealm.png|alt=Sugar Plum Realm|thumb|Sugar Plum Realm]]

=== The Realm of Winterbolt ===
Previously thought to have been safely locked away, the big baddie who originally labeled the atypical toys as Misfits and deported them to a secluded island is threatening to escape and unleash his icy terror on the world once more! Find the secret entrance in Santa's Workshop and navigate the treacherous '''Ice Maze''' to defeat the evil Winterbolt and reclaim the Misfit Toys' green cards!

===Winter Wonderland Build Contest===
A tradition started in Winter 2020 is a special build contest in which the winner each year will be featured in the Winter Wonderland in one of the first plots you see when stepping off the train platform!
