2023 Winter Event

2023 Winter Event

Introduction

The 2023 Winter Event is a Seasonal Event that started on December 28th, 2023, but was closed the same day due to many bugs. It was then reopened the next day and eventually ended on February 4, 2024. It added a new world, Wintera Isle, containing two layers: the Frost Layer and Jollystone Layer. The event also had a fireplace feature that increased your luck depending on the amount of event ores you input into it. When Part 2 was released, it added two new ores to the Jollystone Layer and some pickaxe skins.
