Rainbow Road Venue
The Event Server is used for hosting network wide games and competitions. Events are similar to minigames. They are created and hosted by ManaCube staff rather than being an automated game. Events are free and winners typically receive prizes, such as in game titles. Prizes are not transferable, but if you already had the title you may ask for it on another server. If you win a title in an event, you are still able to participate but can not win another title again in the same type of event for the rest of the week.
TIP: The recommended MineCraft version is 1.16.5 unless otherwise specified. Using other versions increases the risk of glitches and bugs.
¶ When are Events Held?
Events are typically held twice a week: Saturday events take place at 2pm EST/EDT as well as 12pm AEST/AEDT. Event times and dates can change due to server resets or other staffing obligations.
To find out what event will be held this weekend, please check Events on the Forums or watch the #events channel on our Community Discord
TIP: You can "follow" the #events channel and have event announcements sent directly to your own server.
¶ Who Can Participate?
Events are open to all players and most are held on our Event Server. Alerts are made in game when the Event server is about to open. Most events allow all who attend to participate; however, in some cases participation must be limited. When practical, most events have multiple rounds so that more than one person may win each weekend.
TIP: Don’t want to participate? Most events allow for spectators (
/spec). To go out of spectator mode, use/unspec.
Staff reserve the right to disqualify players for past rule violations in-game, on the forums or on our community discord. This includes, but is not limited to, players with active punishments and past hacking punishments are not allowed to participate. Breaking event rules or abusing exploits during events will also result in disqualification. Disrupting events in any way may result in a temporary or permanent ban from the Event server. These bans may be appealed on the forums.

¶ What if I have an idea for an Event?
All of our events have started out as suggestions from staff or players and we are always interested in more ideas. If you have an idea for an event, submit it on the Ideas and Feedback section of the forums and contact an Events SrMod with a link. You may also contact any staff member. If your idea is implemented it will most likely take a while to prepare but you'll get credit provided it's a unique idea.
¶ How do I get the Eventful (
) Tag?
The eventful tag is most commonly given to staff who assist with events. Staff volunteer their time to design, build, test and host events. They are often not able to partake due to their staffing duties. The Eventful tag is given in appreciation of their efforts. Players may rarely earn the tag, most often for building an event venue.
