[EVENT] The Ice Witch's Cursed Jungle - Winter 2025

Discussion in 'Empire Events' started by MoreMoople, Dec 24, 2025.

  1. I'm not the best at parkour, or finding chests, so I usually just do what I can on my own in the events, enjoy looking at the build and the creativity, and then when I've done what I can on my own I ask other players to give me hints or guide me through - there are always people who are happy to do that - sometimes build team members have helped me out. :)

    Usually players don't share too many hints at the start because some people don't want any spoilers, but if you want lots of hints or even just locations someone will send them. I try to remember to screencap all the chests I find with coordinates and happy to send those to anyone who wants them. I tend to only find the obvious ones though! :D
  2. will take this under consideration for future, this one is designed with people working together if they wanted to find all 25, which I believe all 25 have been found, so I highly encourage teaming up :)

    Yes it is, all chests you can see are possible to reach

  4. Ok so I am not sure where this spot is that will actually let you use your bow at. I have been looking all over and I am just not finding it. Hint would be lovely, or someone show me the spot and let me shoot next time I get on. :)

  5. You shoot a flower, on the cliff, the book as a poem that is near the ship and u follow the blue orchids
  6. I've found all 25 now with the help of a few different people. Teaming up is the best way! And no, most do not require parkour, just a keen eye and context clues from the NPCs :D

    It was a lot of fun, very challenging at times and overall a beautiful build. I was also very touched that there was a little NPC of me. Thank you, Build Team!
  7. I shoot it and nothing happens.
  8. needs to be at a very specific angle. it is still minecraft, you're technically not shooting at the flower

  9. The last stanza is the most important. ;)

    Under the flower where the snow winds convene,
    Find the blocks’ hidden borders- those faint, frosty seams.
    Let arrow meet shadow where lines intersect,
    And the secret you seek will arise and connect.

  11. Welp. I have found 24/25 and I am giving up until a map of chest locations lands in my lap. ;)

    Well done Build Team!

  12. I was hoping there was a chest in there. :( Took a really specific spot, that or the timer hadn't reset. Funny thing is I followed the flowers before, just forgot about the arrow part.

  13. blue orchids, or the cornflowers?
  14. Feedback!

    if anyone has any feedback on this years BT events (Amusement Park and this chest hunt) we would love to hear it :)
    any feedback is welcome, difficulty, theme, concept, prizes, anything :)
    Was there something you really liked? something you really disliked? or just something you would like to see taken into consideration in future builds?
  15. I thought this Christmas build was, as always, amazing! Every year I'm excited to see the creativity and dedication the build team puts into this and spend many quality hours hunting, puzzle solving, and just enjoying the easter eggs and aesthetics. So first of all, many thanks to everyone who put time into making this happen.

    A few of my favorite parts:
    I like that there is a mix of difficulties in finding the chests. Everyone can find a few solo. Some are difficult, but you will probably find them if you look long enough. Some are so hard most would never find them without help. But after a few days, there are usually people dropping hints in chat, which I think is part of the fun.
    I really liked the clues this year. Like the poem for Best Boi and the clue for the secret hideaway. It gives you an excuse to read every book and talk to every NPC.

    A few suggestions for the future:
    There are still a couple things I found suspicious, but haven't found clues for yet. Maybe I've missed the clues or maybe there aren't any. One thought I had is that, in addition to having some clues in-world, you might consider a trickle of hints in the forum post starting a few days after release to help people still struggling. They could be hidden as spoilers for those that don't want to mistakenly see them. They could start more cryptic and get more obvious as the weeks go on.
    I remember in a previous build there was a puzzle that required two people at once to solve. That probably annoys some people, but I like the idea of teamwork options. Maybe there could be a challenge that can be completed with one, but is easier with two.

    OK, Ill stop rambling now. Thanks again!

  16. There's a mix. Don't think too hard and just follow the path of blue flowers.
  17. **Fun fact:** The Best Boi has been in every event since I have joined BT. So even if you don't find an immediate clue, they're in there. Somewhere...

    Glad people are actually finding them this event! (I made it more obvious with a clear hint)
  18. thanks
  19. Build Team and Staff has done an awesome job as always! I love going around checking out what was built! My favorite part of the build so far is the neat little way you find yourself on top of the giant snowflake.

    I dislike doing parkour cause I suck at it. So, I can easily see someone becoming frustrated at those parts of an event. I remember a past event having a super, easy parkour section. That was good!

    I go into these events for fun. If I don't get all of the chests that's fine with me.
