Events Guide
Click here or press / to start searchingPrism Party tries to host regular events—typically once per week—to keep gameplay fresh and boost server engagement. While most events on the Events server are semi-automatic, they are still hosted, organized, and run by members of the staff team. Anyone on staff can host an event on Prism Party at any time and without prior approval (though there are certain restrictions on how many prizes may be given out during, or post, event).
When to host an event
Events are typically hosted on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays around 4pm EST, though they can be hosted whenever desired by any member of the staff team. Avoid hosting events back-to-back on days where one has already taken place, or hosting events on consecutive weekdays (for example, hosting an event on Monday, and another on Tuesday. This guideline does not apply to weekends.)
Events should be exciting treats; don't overdo them! Still, if an event hasn't been hosted in awhile—or another staff member is unable to host a planned event—it is better to host an event than skip out on the opportunity or cancel existing plans.
Selecting an event
The event selector can be accessed by right-clicking the Server Selector compass within the Events Lobby and clicking the upper right arrow, or by running /dm open guide_navigation-games should this fail. The resulting menu shows a list of currently available minigames. Hovering over a minigame will show a basic overview of the type of event, while left-clicking the minigame will load the minigame and teleport you there.
| Players | The recommended amount of players for the specified minigame. Some events require a minimum number of players to work correctly. |
| Type | Whether or not the event is team based, grouped, or solo. |
| PvP | Whether or not PvP is enabled, disabled, or activated conditionally as part of gameplay (excluding modifiers). |
| Rounds | The number of rounds recommended for prize-enabled events. Some minigames rewards prizes more readily than others, meaning less rounds are recommended. |
| Length | The average length per round. This is not a measure of how long the overall event should take. |
| Winners | Who is deemed a "winner" of the minigame. Winners are rewarded additional prizes based on their performance. |
| Lootables | Whether or not the minigame contains lootable chests during gameplay which players can collect. Events without lootables reward prizes in-between rounds. |
| Resources | Whether or not custom resources are optional to play, or are enforced by the minigame. Players are unable to participate in events that require custom resources should they refuse the resource pack prompt. |
Running an event
Once you have determined which event to host, simply click the minigame from the selection menu to load the world and teleport to it. Afterwards, you can run /guide and click the "Event Controls" button in the upper right to access the control panel for the active event. Familiarize yourself with the layout of this menu: It is vital to hosting the event!
