The contents of events widely vary, but usually include a memorable build with games and prizes on offer. Numerous events have been held through the course of the server's history.  


Historically, public events have been organized by the [[Cyberdog Events Committee]], an official public body similar to the [[Dogcraft Build Team]] with the task of managing and creating events for players. However, Cyberdogs have also taken it upon themselves to host their own events and throughout all three Survival Multiplayer [[worlds]] server wide celebrations have drawn some of the highest player counts at any one time in server history.

Latest revision as of 05:26, 9 December 2023

Events are server-wide celebrations, acting as a celebration of which all players are able to participate in on the Dogcraft server. The contents of events widely vary, but usually include a memorable build with games and prizes on offer. Numerous events have been held through the course of the server's history.

Historically, public events have been organized by the Cyberdog Events Committee, an official public body similar to the Dogcraft Build Team with the task of managing and creating events for players. However, Cyberdogs have also taken it upon themselves to host their own events and throughout all five Survival Multiplayer worlds server wide celebrations have drawn some of the highest player counts at any one time in server history.

Chronology of Events

  • Opening of Survival 1 End Dimension (May 2016)
    • Main article: Survival 1 End Opening
    • At the start of the Survival 1 world, the End Dimension was closed off in anticipation of the 1.9 Combat Update, which would overhaul the dimension and add the outer islands.
    • Therefore, when the server did update, a large event was held to celebrate the new release.
    • The Festival of Flight banner, which welcomed players into to the event.
      An unfortunate death at the elytra course!
      An overhead view of the Something Summer event, showcasing the ferris wheel and carnival aesthetic.

  • Festival of Flight (April 2017, Video Recap)
    • The Festival of Flight was an event about the skies, held on the 22nd of April, 2017.
    • The event featured an elaborate set of guided elytra flight courses which players had to navigate through a number of rings. This was especially popular, despite the large amount of resulting player deaths which occurred.
    • The event also featured an elytra aerial combat-drome, in which players would have to fight while airborne in a large spherical structure, inspired by the one built by MumboJumbo on the Hermitcraft server.
    • The event also featured a plane building contest, of which ramokhan won.
  • Not Fooling Around: A PvP Event (April 2017, Video Recap)
    • Not Fooling Around was an event revolving around player-vs-player combat that was held on the 1st of April, 2017, hence the name given to it referencing the fact it was held on April Fools' day.
    • The event was held on the Survival 1 world and players were required to enable PvP and enter a number of purpose built arenas and duke it out.
    • The event was with 1.9 combat mechanics.
    • The event was attended by ReNDoG, who participated in the combat.
  • Something Summer (June 2017, Video Recap)
    • Something Summer was an event that was held on a Beach biome on the 10th of June, 2017 and was organised by the Events Commitee.
    • The Event had a carnival theme, featuring mini-games area with a minecart ride trough, a fireworks beach, and a sand castle building competition, not to mention a large ferris wheel.
    • Players could use iron bars bought at the event sight as a currency in the event are for the mini-games.
    • Some games included a lucky dip and a classic "Test your strength!" game.
    • Players fighting in an Ocean Monument inspired arena at the Not Fooling Around event.

  • Spooktober (October 2017)
    • Spooktober was an event celebrating Halloween of 2017, and was held on the 31st of October, 2017 and organised by the Events Committee.
  • Elytra Races (Throughout)
    • Main Article: Elytra Races
    • Player-organised Elytra Races grew to become very popular during Survival 1 and a number were held. The most notable series of races was organised by Lackria mayor 20.png William278.
    • These often started at players' bases and would always end at Lackria City, the goal being to arrive at the end point first. Teleportation was not allowed and considered cheating and players must instantly take off again with elytra if they hit the ground; walking was not permitted.
    • At the time, there were no firework rockets to use, so players had to rely on a "bow-boosting" technique to keep themselves airborne.
    • The winner would take home grand prizes including diamonds and beacons.

Survival 3 Events

See also: Spawn (Survival 3) § Seasonal Decor

In the first months of the Survival 3 world, the Events Committee fell apart, as both GentlemanGnu and Bellababe247 left the server, leaving SummerFlower123 as the only active leader of the Committee. As a result of this, a new, but temporary system was put in place, where each server mandated event team would be comprised of a couple of hand picked builders, and led by a member of the Dogcraft Staff Team.

Later in May of 2019, the Events Committee was reformed to keep the spirit of events alive, on the server.
