HEAR YE, HEAR YE SCIENCE FEST IS BACK!

Science Fest returns this year for another round of killing things for spoils! The main Science areas closed down back in 2024 due to sweeping backend changes made by Mojang, and have been offline ever since- needing ground-up reworking in order to restore them. As a little taste of what Science once was, Science Fest was built and opened last year and run for the month of October, accompanied by a building contest. It has come back around to satiate your hunger for something more, something interesting, something fun!

To get to Science Fest:
Nether: North Mainline Rail -> String Theory -> Floor 3 Back left corner
Events Night: TARDIS -> Additional Attractions -> Down the stairs until you see Science Fest with a jack-o-lantern head on the top
Overworld: North Transcontinental Line -> Towards Sanctum

For those of you that either haven't experience Science before (or the previous run of Science Fest), these minature science areas allow you to collect shards that can be traded in for some staple items and many consumables from the previous science areas, before Mojang's most recent slew of changes took them offline. These items can be found on the top floor of the Turn-in Area within these chests, alongside the amount of currency needed for each item (Items marked with a button are limited to one item per player). For those of you that participated last year, there's a few additonal items available from each area this year. You can find the new items in the chests precariously stacked ontop of the originals.

The areas we have included in this event are:

• The Lost Woods
• Wychwood
• Snowhead
• Shattered Sands
• Chinese New Year!

Just like in the real version of Science, you must complete the areas in the right order to progress to the next. So you must complete:

• The Lost Woods to get into Wychwood
• Wychwood to get into Snowhead
• Snowhead to get into Shattered Sands

In order to complete an area, you must get the completion certificates, located near the entrance into the area itself. (Chinese New Year is not included in the progression route)

As our NPC traders are especially prone to breaking between versions, to get these items you'll need to name a Shulker Box, fill it with the amount and type of currency needed for your item (see above list or display chests in the turn-in area), and use a book and quill to provide a list of the items you'd like. Place your shulker within one of the chests in the turn-in area, and then type @horseman in the chat and include the number of your chest, to alert someone of a pending turn-in.

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A POST OFFICE BOX located in the Creeper Citadel. We will be placing your items in your post office box once the request has been filled. Please note: you may fill your shulker with multiple shards (as long as the items you are requesting will fit within the confines of the shulker) and areas.

You may purchase a shulker and book and quill from the Utility Vendor (-3264, 64, -9423) located in front of Chinese New Year.

And who knows, maybe later in the month something.. else may come around. Stay tuned!
