Description
Minecraft WWDC26 Event adds a server-wide update system and a new playable faction war called The Great Minecraft War: you receive rotating broadcasts, join-time welcome and title notifications, and an Event Bulletin menu for reading modpack updates, item additions, and war status. Players get a craftable (and one-time starter) Event Bulletin item that opens a menu to enlist in either the Overworld Alliance or Nether Legion, view updates, trigger broadcasts, and check progress; killing hostile mobs earns personal and faction war points, awards Great War Medals every five personal points, and shows live HUD actionbar war status. Faction totals, personal points, claimed medals, broadcast rotation and season number persist across sessions; when a faction reaches 100 points the season ends, online members of the winning side are rewarded and the war resets for the next season.
Mod Wiki
Minecraft WWDC26 Event
Quickstart
- Join the world — on your very first spawn you automatically receive one free WWDC26 Event Bulletin. A welcome message and title screen greet you.
- Use the Event Bulletin (right-click / tap) to open the main menu.
- From the menu, enlist in either the Overworld Alliance or the Nether Legion.
- Go kill hostile mobs — each kill earns war points for you and your faction. Watch the action bar at the bottom of your screen for live scores.
- Every 5 personal points you automatically receive a Great War Medal.
- If you ever lose or need a second Bulletin, craft one at a Crafting Table (see recipe below).
Overview
Minecraft WWDC26 Event turns your world into a live faction war server. Two systems run simultaneously:
- Event Bulletin feed — a rotating, server-wide broadcast system that periodically announces modpack news and war updates to all players.
- The Great Minecraft War — a persistent faction conflict between the Overworld Alliance and the Nether Legion. Players earn points by slaying hostile mobs, and the first faction to reach 100 points wins the season.
All scores, medals, faction totals, and the current season number are saved and survive server restarts.
What It Adds
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| WWDC26 Event Bulletin | Handheld item (max stack: 1) that opens the interactive event menu when used. |
| Great War Medal | Collectible trophy item (stacks to 64) awarded automatically for war performance. |
How To Use
The Event Bulletin Menu
Use the Event Bulletin in your hand to open the main hub. From here you can:
- Read modpack updates — a feed of event announcements and news posts.
- Enlist in a faction — choose Overworld Alliance or Nether Legion. You can only be on one side at a time.
- Check war progress — view faction totals, your personal points, and the current season.
- Trigger a broadcast — send the current update post to all online players (subject to a personal cooldown of 2 minutes between uses).
Live HUD
Once you have enlisted, your action bar continuously displays:
- Current season number
- Your faction name
- Your personal war points
- How many points until your next Great War Medal
- Both faction totals (Alliance vs. Nether Legion)
Server Broadcasts
Every 5 minutes the server automatically broadcasts a rotating event update message to all players. New players also receive a welcome broadcast and title screen on their very first join.
Crafting And Obtaining
Free starter: Every new player receives one Event Bulletin automatically on their first spawn.
Crafting: Additional Event Bulletins can be crafted at a Crafting Table:
(Requires Copper Ingots, Redstone, Paper, and a Compass.)
Great War Medals cannot be crafted — they are earned exclusively through combat.
Abilities And Mechanics
Earning War Points
Kill hostile mobs while enlisted to earn points for yourself and your faction. Higher-tier mobs award more points:
| Mob | Points |
|---|---|
| Slime | 1 |
| Guardian | 2 |
| Elder Guardian | 5 |
| Warden | 10 |
| Wither | 10 |
| Ender Dragon | 15 |
| (most other hostile mobs) | 1 |
Points are added to both your personal total and your faction's running total.
If you kill a qualifying mob while not enlisted, you receive a reminder to enlist — the kill does not count.
Great War Medals
For every 5 personal war points accumulated, one Great War Medal is automatically added to your inventory. Medals are purely collectible — they represent your contribution to the war effort.
Winning a Season
The first faction whose total reaches 100 points wins the current season. When this happens:
- A victory broadcast goes out to all online players.
- Online members of the winning faction are rewarded.
- The war resets and the season number increments — all faction totals start fresh for the next campaign.
Personal points and claimed medals from previous seasons remain on your record.
Progression And Strategy
- Enlist early. Kills before enlisting earn nothing for your faction.
- Hunt mini-bosses and bosses. Wardens, Withers, and Ender Dragons award 10–15 points each — a single boss kill can dramatically shift the faction balance.
- Coordinate with teammates. Faction totals are shared; the more enlisted players actively fighting, the faster your side climbs toward 100.
- Watch the action bar. The live HUD shows both faction totals at a glance, so you always know how close the war is to ending.
- Season resets are fresh starts. Faction totals reset each season, so even a trailing faction can rally and win the next campaign.
