Halloween Fireworks Special

From Friday, Oct 30 to Sunday, Nov 1, the lobby's weekend fireworks become a Halloween show. 377 rockets burst to a brand-new note block soundtrack, and at the end a giant jack-o'-lantern lights up above the gate. The regular weekend show returns on Nov 2.

Showtimes

• Oct 30 (Fri) – Nov 1 (Sun) at 21:00 and 21:30 (GMT+8), two shows a night
• A show only starts when someone is in the lobby

How to watch

1. Head back to the main lobby before showtime (type /s on any server)
2. From the spawn point, walk forward (east) into the courtyard
3. Face the east gate and look up; the west side of the courtyard has the best view of the jack-o'-lantern

Good to know

• The soundtrack plays on the "Jukebox/Note Blocks" volume slider, so make sure it is turned up
• Only your own view turns to night during the show; it goes back to day when the show ends
• The fireworks can't hurt you, so watching while flying is fine

The eight acts

• Midnight: four strokes of the bell as the sky darkens
• Will-o'-the-Wisps: a music box lullaby as green wisps drift upward
• Witches' Flight: the drums kick in as violet and green broomsticks streak across the sky
• Dance of the Skeletons: the xylophone starts up and bone-white bursts dance side to side
• Blood Moon: a red ring of a moon rises while bats flit about
• The Pumpkin King: footsteps close in, jack-o'-lanterns light up one by one, and a giant pumpkin face appears over the gate
• Halloween Revelry: the full band finale, with jack-o'-lanterns forming a crown
• Daybreak: the lullaby turns to a major key as day returns

Above you can switch between the video and the 3D view. The video is a clip of The Pumpkin King; the 3D view plays the whole show, so you can drag to look around and turn on the sound to hear the soundtrack. Both are made from the choreography preview, so in game you'll see regular Minecraft blocks and hear real note blocks.
