Live Ops

Live Ops, or better known as Live Events, are themed events that take place every couple of months; there is no specific time that they occur, it is just dependent on seasonal holidays, or convenient timing. They are out for a limited amount of time, which usually is around a week, but it depends on the certain event.

These events are available to be played by the whole community, and are featured on all realms upon being released. The events have a multitude of different activities to compete in and progress through, which all reward you with Live Event Currency.

## Functionality

Each event’s mini games and activities vary so the player base can tackle new features and enjoy themselves; although sometimes the concept of these events repeat, - Ex. PvE killing Bosses & Minions - a lot of the time there are new events for everyone to try out!

Some recent mini game events featured are listed below:

* PvE (Player versus Entity) - multiple events.
	+ Kill & defeat creatures part of our resource pack - usually some sort of Boss or Minion.

* Scavenger Hunt
	+ Hunt for heads of a specific theme (Staff heads, Pumpkins, Presents) to gain event currency

* Themed Fishing Contest
	+ Catch custom fish that are themed to the current event, and sell to the seasonal fishmonger. Usually you are only able to catch these fish in the event arena.

* Parkour
	+ Complete a parkour course for currency - in the past this has been a one time thing, but in future events it may change!

* Fight against mobs with staffs that contain special abilities
	+ Select a staff sword at the beginning of the event and use it to fight against mobs, each staff has a different ability enabled when you right click!

## Prizes

Although each of the specific prizes change for each event, due to the theme variety, there are usually a lot of the same types of prizes.

The ones listed below have all shown up in previous Live Event crates, but are not guaranteed for each one.

* Seasonal Rank - Same perks as Diamond Rank; ex. Dragon Rank
* Chat colours
* Renamed Collectible Custom Items
* Themed & Limited tags
* Hats, capes, and resource pack items (Available in /wardrobe)
* Themed Furniture Sets
* Limited kit sets, some requiring the resource pack (Armour & Tools) - Some with special features, such as jump boost or speed
* Cosmetics - Emotes, Sprays, Trails, Chat Emojis, Disguises
* Credits, Money, XP

## Prize System

To keep variety in the Live Events rewards system, and to create incentive, there are different prize systems.

The original prize system consists of players completing the selected events (Discussed above) and winning Live Events Currency. They can go through the temporary LiveOps GUI and purchase an event crate after reaching a certain amount of currency, some of the crates are displayed above. Players are able to do this for the whole time an event is live, and can continue to grind for currency until the time is up; you can save or open the crates, there is no limit to how many you buy.

An alternate prize system that has been introduced, is a Live Events shop. You gain and receive currency in the same way as normal, but instead of having to risk the chances with a crate, you can straight up buy items from a limited time shop. These item options usually consist of lower tier prizes, such as tags, cosmetics, collectible items etc; to make sure the rarer items, such as ranks and chat colours, are evenly spread out in the community and not overused. In some situations, the LiveOps shop contains a crate to purchase as well, so there is a wide variation of possibilities and prizes, for all of the community to enjoy.

## How do I earn currency?

Currency is able to be gained through the events listed above, which all reward different amounts of ‘credits’ depending on difficulty and severity of the event.

For the players who are looking to purchase currency without playing, or a way to get the rewards without going through / doing all of the events, you can buy them from the Oneblock store ( store.oneblockmc.com ) in different packages and amounts.

## Live Events GUI

The Live Events GUI is a limited GUI, that is only accessible for the time an event is open, and able to be used & seen through a themed command.

Some of the commands in the past have been /halloween. /mobarena, /bas, /zombies to reflect the name of the current event happening.

This GUI usually consists of an explanation of the Event, a leader board that displays the current players with the most currency, an interactive slot which teleports you to the selected arena / area for the event, a link to the in-game shop where you can spend Live Events currency - as explained above.
