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 have already have 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 1.12.2 unless otherwise specified. Using other versions increases the risk of glitches and bugs.
¶ When are Events Held?
Events are held most weekends. The first weekend of the month the Event is on Sunday at 2pm ET. For the remaining weekends, the events are scheduled at 2pm ET on Saturdays. 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 the entire server 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. 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 Types of Events Are There?
¶ Archery 
Contestants compete using bow and arrows to hit 4 targets of increasing difficulty. When all targets are hit, fireworks are lit to show who has finished. The winners are determined by who has the most arrows remaining after hitting all targets. Top finishers get the ArchEnemy title and are given a chance to make a difficult shot for a valued prize to be determined prior to each event. Participation is limited to the number of available archery lanes. However, multiple rounds are usually held, so stick around for more chances to enter.

When all three items are crafted and in the item frames, press the FINISH button. Participation is limited to the number of available “kitchens”.

¶ 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 Events section of the Suggestions Website. You may also contact any staff member. If it is not an existing event, or one in development already, your idea will be forwarded to the SrMod Event Coordination and Event Coordinator(s) for consideration.
¶ How do I get the Eventful (
) Tag?
The eventful tag is 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.
