You can also switch chat games off in Settings.
Monthly tournaments
Tournaments run all month on 18 leaderboards. Climb them just by playing, then collect Bolts when the month ends.
How it works
- On each board, the top 10 players earn points: 10 for 1st, 9 for 2nd, down to 1 for 10th.
- Your points from every board add up to your place in the overall standings.
- When the month ends, the overall top 10 win Bolts, even if they are offline. You are told the next time you join.
- Everything resets at midnight New York time on the 1st of every month.
Prizes
| Overall place | Prize |
|---|---|
| 1st | 1,500 Bolts |
| 2nd | 1,000 Bolts |
| 3rd | 750 Bolts |
| 4th | 500 Bolts |
| 5th to 10th | 250 Bolts each |

End events
The End is closed most of the time and opens for events.
- When it opens, everyone sees a THE END: NOW OPEN title and a message in chat.
- While it is closed, End portals don't let you in.
- When it closes, anyone still in the End is sent back to spawn, so grab your loot before then.
- Type to check whether the End is open right now.
Community donation goal
The donation goal board at spawn tracks store purchases from the whole community. Every time the goal is reached, everyone online gets a Spawner Key, and the next goal starts right away. See Crates and Keys for what the Spawner Crate gives.
