Latest revision as of 12:44, 12 April 2024

Events are limited time, server wide features available to players of all ranks or players of a specific rank. They are hosted every so often, usually by an Admin or Mod and often have special rewards for the top ranked players in them. This page covers known events and details about them. They are split into two main categories, server events and building competitions. They are listed by category then chronological order (of the first edition held).

Beep Test[edit]

The beep test is a parkour event hosted randomly by Minr admins, usually HC12345, and Minr moderators. It takes place in its own arena, and can be accessed by players of any rank. It is based off the PACER test, which is a fitness test occasionally held during physical education classes.

Details[edit]

During the beep test, players must quickly jump across pseudo-randomly generated parkour, before it despawns. If a player falls down or doesn't make it to the other side, they become "At Risk"; if they fail again, they are eliminated. The last person alive is declared the winner and the game continues running until they die or the test ends.

The parkour begins easy; over time, the parkour gets more challenging, the time between levels decreases, and the amount of levels needed to advance increases. The color of the parkour indicates its growth in difficulty, starting with white parkour, then blue, and so on, following the colors of Minr's difficulty colors.

There is no reward for participating in beep tests, but there is a leaderboard system.

Ninja Warrior[edit]

Ninja Warrior is a parkour event hosted usually around twice a year by HC12345. It always takes place on Saturdays and so far has always been hosted by HC12345, with occasional help from some admins. The event is based off the TV show that has the exact same name.

Details[edit]

In Ninja Warrior, players have to complete 4 Stages in order to receive the title of "Ninja Warrior", without falling. Some of the stages have a time limit on them for additional difficulty in their completion.

Until Stage 3, the parkour rises in difficulty making Stage 3 the hardest. While Stage 4 is not very hard, it has a strict time limit that allows no room for error, making it hard for those who have gotten to it to earn the title of Ninja Warrior.

The rewards for Ninja Warrior competitions include colored prefixes, Steam gifts and more.

The Amazing Race[edit]

Based on a TV show of the same name, The Amazing Race is an event only for Greens and up that takes place 1 to 2 times a year. It's first host was HC12345, but it has been hosted by a number of different mods/ops over the years.

Details[edit]

In The Amazing Race, contestants run around the map of Minr looking for clues. The event starts where the previous edition of it ended, and includes a first clue at the start. Using clever thinking, knowledge of the map and sometimes online tools, contestants solve the clues which lead them to more clues, all until they get to the final clue which is supposed to lead them to the end of the race.

As it involves map exploration, The Amazing Race requires good knowledge of the world map as well as a fair amount of general knowledge to be able to get to the finish. Because it involves exploring the map, it is restricted to Greens and higher.

Prizes include special star prefixes for the top 3 as well as occasional Steam prizes.

The Great Race Tournament[edit]

The Great Race Tournament, also referred to as TGR Tournament, was a one time event hosted in July 2014 by HC12345. It mainly resolved around the first map in the TGR series, The Great Race.

Details[edit]

In the event, players of all ranks were put against each other in a tournament-style bracket. They had to race in the original TGR map and whoever came first in the race would continue further into the event.

The format started with round robins, followed by knockout stages later on. The winner of this event was crafterkid98.

HC's Christmas Chase[edit]

HC's Christmas Chase, or The Christmas Chase was a one time event hosted on Christmas Day in 2014, by HC12345. There have been no new editions of this event ever since.

Details[edit]

The event was free for anyone to enter, even with a delayed entrance to it. It consisted of racing through 10 different FFA levels, with whoever beat them all first being the winner.

The winner of this event was chunkyboy12

Tournament of Champions[edit]

Tournament of Champions was a one time event hosted by corygolfanatic in March 2016.

Details[edit]

The tournament followed a similar format to that of The Christmas Chase and TGR Tournament. Players had to compete against each other in maps picked by the host.

Sadly, due to time differences and other difficulties the tournament was cancelled half-way and there was never a winner announced.

Purple Comet[edit]

Purple Comet is an event that is occasionally hosted by rmanimal (and Alphaesia). It is held anually, around August, starting in 2016.

Details[edit]

During the event, players are given a set of maps in which there are hidden "purple coins", which are purple player heads. Players must look for the coins by doing these maps. Set into one of two teams, the players compete to be the team with the most coins by the end of the event.

The prize is a cosmetic star prefix for the winning player.

Egg Hunt[edit]

Egg Hunt is an event that is mainly hosted by TheHexer. It takes place around April, Easter time. In the second iteration, Egg Hunt 2.0, a competition was held that had teams find eggs, the winning team was ilovenons and niltiac. Egg Hunt is open to players of all ranks to participate.

Details[edit]

Egg Hunt has evolved into a large open world search area, primarily created by chayos, where the player searches for eggs. In Egg Hunt 2.0, there was competition between teams of two to compete in finding eggs in a round robin style competition in certain Minr locations.

The winning team received the "Egglord" title.

Minr Sightseeing[edit]

Minr Sightseeing is a competitive event that has been hosted by Marrimars, TheHexer, and Thogin. The event takes place in a single day and has had two iterations, one on August 15th, 2020, which was won by Bailey06 and NoSi, and one on February 27th, 2021, which was won by Jaabus and spolendina. Minr Sightseeing is open to players of all ranks to participate.

Details[edit]

Player's can form teams of two or compete alone. The competition tasks the players with identifying pictures of certain Minr maps then going to the exact location that the picture was taken to earn a point.

The winning team or individual earns the "Sightseer" title.

For the second iteration, all participants were awarded the “Globetrotter” hat.

Throwback Finds[edit]

Throwback Finds was an event hosted in conjunction with the 10 year anniversary celebration, only Green+ players could participate. The event was hosted by SomePunWithChloe and rickyboy320 and has only occurred once.

Details[edit]

For the anniversary celebration, the Minr staff team opened a 2011 version of Minr's world, Zero. This allowed players to explore an old version of Zero. Throwback Finds tasked the players with a scavenger hunt to find clues that led them throughout the 2011 server, similar to The Amazing Race.

Players that completed the event were rewarded with the "Throwback Hunter" title.

Spawn Competition 2016[edit]

The Spawn Competition hosted in June 2016 was the first of the series of yearly build competitions organized by MINR. For the most part, the competition was organized by Chillers, but with occasional help from other ops. Only greens+ were allowed to enter.

Details[edit]

Contestants were given their own plots in the end where they had Creative Mode access for the duration of the competition. They were allowed to receive WorldEdit help from admins, but nothing too minor that could be done without any help. After the entry period was over, the spawns were submitted in a community vote to see which one was the best.

The winner of the competition was minty1111 and his spawn was used as the server spawn until it was changed to City Spawn.

Puzzle Competition 2017[edit]

The Puzzle Competition of 2017, sometimes referred to as “Zath's Puzzle Competition” or just "Puzzlecomp”, was the second in the series of annual build competitions. The competition was mainly hosted by Zatharel. The goal of the competition was to add more pure puzzle maps to FFA.

Details[edit]

Just like in other build competitions, competitors are given temporary creative mode, however this time instead of multiple plots per person, the competition is hosted on one large plot. Entries must be complete by August 1st and will later be judged by a panel of judges consisting of 5 Minr Admins.
