Changelog/2025/February 6

Hello everyone!

Today we're releasing an update containing the following to alpha.hypixel.net:

• Year of the Seal
• Return of the Shiny Pig Event in the form of the Year of the Pig

This new event lasts an entire SkyBlock Year and follows a 12-year rotation. In the future, we are aiming to have a yearly event for each year within the 12 year rotation, but for now, only the Year of the Seal and the Year of the Pig are available. These two events will alternate every six years until more yearly events are added.

This is how this new event works:

• During the Year of the Seal, you have a chance to fish up Beach Balls or Giant Beach Balls from Treasure.
• Use the Beach Balls to play a minigame by yourself that involves bouncing it on your head.
• Use the Giant Beach Ball to play the same minigame but everyone around you can participate as well.
• Based on your performance, you receive Fishy Treats which you can spend at Lukas near the Hub Blacksmith for various items.

We are returning the Shiny Pig Event in the form of the Year of the Pig within the new yearly rotation system. We also made a couple small changes:

• Moved the Pig Shop near the Hub Blacksmith
• Talking to Piggy gives a brief introduction to the event
• Added an Event Info within the Pig Shop menu
