Advent 2017

== Advent 2017 Event ==
This was the second advent event on the server and lasted throughout the month of December 2017. By going through a portal at spawn, players would be teleported to a Christmas themed woodland mansion. Each room was owned and decorated by a designated staff member and featured an NPC character of said staff member. Each day, one or a few NPCs would be unlocked and by right clicking on them, you would obtain that staff's advent item. Items and their day are listed below.

== Additional Information ==
* Xauntlet's Hearts are harder to come by nowadays due to players accidentally placing them. Despite this, the item never got a revision into an unplaceable item like Smoerni's did.
* Smoerni's Speedy Sign is another item that is harder to come by due to players placing them. At some point, the item was replaced by the map, which is more common in comparison. After changing the item, players that had already used the Smoerni NPC were allowed to use the NPC again.
* Smoerni's Speedy Sign no longer shows the original mapart due to being overwritten after the maximum number of maps was exceeded on the server.
* All potions from the advent came in a singlular stack of 5 potions. If you don't shift+click the stack when moving them from inventory to chest or vice versa, you will break the stack and it will be separated into individual potions. With the combination of that and players trying to get more bang for their buck by selling advent potions as individual potions, they are hard to come by in their fully stacked forms. Do not store stacked versions in shulkers because they will break the stack after closing the shulker and delete rares.
* TamsinCrowe's chickens would spawn with a random color glow effect. However, after about 2 months, all spawned glowing chickens colors changed to white
* Aim115's NPC also gave players a regular arrow with the multishot bow, but because it technically is not a rare, I did not include it.
* After the 1.13 update, iPazo's boat disguise was intentionally disabled after a bug started occurring when players wearing the disguise would end up kicking any player they teleported to from the server. However, as of 1.15.2, the boat disguises have been enabled again
* The conception of SirEdrick's #Fishlegs actually dates back a few months prior to the advent. First mention of the #Fishlegs comes from a forums post by SirEdrick on this forums post --> where he asks if donors could have the ability to place rares, specifically the speedfish, into the players /legs slot since people were running out of slots to place rares. Even though this never happened, SirEdrick didn't forget and made his alternative.
* 2P_ won't do anything special if you collect 7 dragon balls. I tried.
* Rage's Booster Rocket wasn't supposed to be flight rockets. After talking to him on discord, he stated that his intention for the rare was for the rocket to give players Jump 10, hence the line "Allowing you to jump higher than EVER before!" in the lore text. Chances are, apple thought it was too OP and had it do something else.
* SilverShade's rare was added last minute. Apple had to re-purpose a generic unused room and make her NPC the day the rare was added.
* Puggernaut's Space Sword was made super OP on accident when apple made it a diamond sword. Puggs intended for it to be a stone sword in reference to Sokka's meteorite sword on the animated series, Avatar: The Last Airbender.
* xAdorkables rare was delayed because apple was having a hard time getting it to work. Because it was added after Christmas, a good portion of players didn't return to the advent world after Christmas to get one, thinking the event was already over.
* Around halfway through December, something happened with the Advent world which made it so 3/4 of the NPCs had their uses reset, allowing players to obtain second copies from those NPCs.
* This is the last Advent that didn't have a crate for the rares. While the adoption of crates makes it harder for collectors, this slowed massive duplication of rares through the use of alts. Some players during the 2017 advent had purchased bundles of alt accounts (one player I recall having 60 accounts) and got the full set of advents for each account. With the error mentioned in the previous bulletpoint, that player could have theoretically gotten 120 copies of most of the advent 2017 set.
* Sometime in January, the Advent event closed and getting within 50 blocks of the mansion would boot players from the world with a message thanking players for participating. However, if you had a /home set on the outskirts of the Advent world, you could still explore the area. The Advent world surprisingly stuck around for over a year after the advent had ended and after the portal removed.
