❄️Crabmas Event
This page contains information regarding the Crabmas Seasonal Event.
When is this Event active?
This Seasonal Event is active between the 21st of December and 9th of January each year.
How do I take part in the Event?
Fish in random biomes until you find, or someone else finds the correct biome.
How does the Event actually work?
The event is pretty simple once you get the hang of it. It is mainly designed as a community style event to get players to explore and fish in different biomes.
Below is a list of steps that you can follow to take part yourself. You can also check information, and progress if someone has found the biome, and how long is left in game by typing /fish events CRABMAS
Check /fish events CRABMAS to see if the biome is still 'Unknown...'
If it has not been found yet, fish in one of the biomes (see Possible Biomes below) until someone finds it.
Once you have decided on a biome to try find a Crabmas, just catch a fish in that biome. If you do not get a broadcast message after catching one fish, the Crabmas is not in that biome.
If you do get a broadcast message, you then have a 4% chance to find a regular Crabmas while fishing. (Note: this does not scale with Crab Bait or Crab Lures).
Once you kill a regular Crabmas, it will drop a Crabmas Orb
Right-Click in Air while holding 5 or more Crabmas Orbs to make the next Crabmas you find, be the special boss.
The next Crabmas you will find will be the boss. Kill it to obtain one of the random drops.
Repeat until you have the items you want.
What biomes can Crabmas spawn in?
Below is a list of Biomes a Crabmas can spawn in. If the biome is considered a 'snowy' or 'cold' biome, the duration Crabmas will last increases by 50%.
Badlands
Beach
Birch Forest
Cold Ocean
Dark Foresat
Deep Ocean
Desert
Flower Forest
Forest
Frozen Ocean
Frozen Peaks
Ice Spikes
Jungle
Lukewarm Ocean
Ocean
Plains
River
Savanna
Swamp
Taiga
Warm Ocean
These biomes will name-check for you, which means if you fish in a 'Snowy Taiga' and the biome is 'Taiga'. That will still count and you will find it.
What does the Crabmas Boss do?
The Crabmas Boss only spawns once you have used 5 Crabmas Orbs.
The boss will float on water, like the regular Crabmas, and will shoot the player with flaming arrows. Furthermore, it may shoot Witherskulls, Spectral Arrows, or Snowballs.
If the boss has been alive for more then 10 seconds, it will spawn 20 Electric Eels. If the boss does not die within another 10 seconds, these Eels will explode in a 5 block radius, each dealing 6 damage to nearby players. (This does not destroy blocks, or damage animals. Only players).
You can kill the Electric Eels with any type of damage, apart from explosive damage.
The boss has 100HP, and is immune to Knockback.

FAQ:
Below are some questions that may be asked during the event.
How long does a Crabmas last in a biome?
Crabmas will last 60 minutes from when the initial broadcast message is sent. If it is considered a 'cold' or 'snowy' biome, it will last for 90 minutes.
Do I lose the Crabmas Boss guarantee spawn chance if I log out?
No. You will only lose the guarantee once you have spawned it, or the server restarts. (Note: /fish reload does not cause this to reset).
How do I check to see if the biome has been found?
You can check the current status of the biome, and the time left with /fish events CRABMAS
