==The Birthplace of Events==
The Event Hall is where players can warp to gather a summary about the current event, or visit backstage to gather old event loot. Fashioned like an old reclaimed theater, the Event Hall features long wooden benches facing a large wooden stage at its floor where players warp in. On the stage, there is typically an "event board" for players to place signs on to signify entering an event.
__TOC__
==Event Boards==
Most of the time, players are warping here to either post their entry location (if it is a build event), or interact with the Event Board. If an event requires players to collect items that need to be deposited in an event chest, post their entry coordinates, or place a sign with their username to enter the event itself, they will have to interact with the event board. 
==== Event chests ====
are temporary storage chests for collection or challenge events which must be claimed by the player with both a sign that indicates the player's claim, and by using /lock to ensure that the contents of the chest stay secure throughout the event. 
==== Entry Coordinates ====
are coordinates of the location a player chose to construct their entry for a build event. These are useful to judges of build events, so that they can more easily locate and judge a player's entry for the event. Entry coordinates can be collected swiftly through either pressing F3, or for some players, typing /Coords. Invalid coordinates, or coordinates which do not lead to an entry may result in an event entry to go overlooked during entry judging, so always be careful to type your entry's coordinates correctly on the entry board. 
==== Entering Events ====
is easy and just requires smacking a sign with your minecraft username up onto the entry board. Sometimes, especially for collection events, there is an extra step if you need to claim an event chest with LWC. 
== Build Events ==
The Event Hall sometimes hosts events which are focused on the construction of structures for a competition, appropriately called build events. These require players who enter to leave a sign with their minecraft username and build coordinates on the Event Board on stage. Many of the same players compete in these competitions time and time again, resulting in some fantastic entries with those who have experience.
== Collection Events ==
Events hosted at the Event Hall which require the player to collect certain item(s) are collection events. Players who enter these events often need to claim a chest on-stage by the Event Board by placing a sign with their minecraft username on the chest they'd like, as well as using the aforementioned /lock to guard it from other participants of the event. These events usually, (and most famously) require the player to collect or craft an UNGODLY amount of something, like cake. (The cake to people ratio is STILL out of whack...). Often times, participants of these events get to keep the items they collected, but the goal is to see who can collect the most of something, 
Some participants cleverly utilize shulker boxes to expand their event collection storage inside their event chest, though no collection event participant has ever been able to fill up all 27 chest slots with shulker boxes completely full of collection items. The record for most items collected during one collection event was 392 cakes baked for Rhapsody's 1st Birthday Party by Milkyway_Ahoy on June 14th, 2022.
== Game & Challenge Events ==
Events hosted by the Event Hall which are centered on playing a game (egg hunts, spleef, or the death maze) are considered game or challenge events. The most famous of this type of event was the Death Maze event that took place in March of 2024, where players raced to get to the end of an eight-story maze. The event had two opening times that month, and caused most participants' death tallies to skyrocket during their attempts. 
These events do not usually require that players enter by placing signs or locking chests at the event board, and instead, participants enter simply by showing up to play.
== Backstage ==
Backstage can be located by walking on-stage and to the left where the elevator signs indicate "Backstage". Here, players can find event board history starting with the earliest server event, all the way up until the most recent event. Event boards are preserved with entry signs and build coordinates, if applicable. 
Before the implementation of Rhapsody's Package Mail plugin, players needed to visit backstage to find their event loot if they waited too long to claim their loot while it was still on-stage. Event loot is now mailed directly to the participants using the package mail feature, which is why it is strongly advised that, when you enter events, you should post your entry sign with your minecraft username instead of your nickname or discord name. This way, your event loot is received, and the void will not consume it. There is no guarantee that you will receive your event loot if your do not follow this advisory, but it is usually posted with every event that requires you to enter by smacking a sign up to the event board.
== Trivia & History ==
* The Event Hall was "haunted" for some time following The Haunted Estate event in 2022 due to the range of the event arena's special effects bleeding into other areas nearby spawn. This caused some players to relocate away from the hall and arena to prevent being jumpscared by the effects.
* The Event Hall's placement is purposefully on the very edge of spawn so that players can alter and access the Event Boards on the stage, but they cannot break anything beyond the info board. This had lead to some players "accidentally" griefing the area.
* Because players can place signs on-stage, there are several "nonsense" signs at the back of the stage that are unrelated to the event hall, but have been kept there because CRASHC0N thinks they're funny.
* A stream of water flows into the center of the Event Hall in front of the stage that originates from the bridge you would take to get up to the Spawn cathedral. You can swim up it, but it will not take you into the bridge. 
* Because parts of the Event Hall's roof are open, you can very clearly see Nyan Cat and Bright Eyes pixel art over the Pumpkin Town and Moonpeak rail lines if you stand on the stage.
* The infinite cake block was relocated to the Event Hall in 2022 following a Worldguard update that prevents players from being able to eat cake in spawn chunks.
* More than one person has tunneled into the event hall to "See what the floating text is", knowing that this behavior is destructive and considered grief, only to realize it was a very public location that they could have very easily warped to, they have probably seen it before, and they could have just asked. Really smart...
