Festival of Frost
Minecraft Dungeons is celebrating the milestone of reaching 15 million players with a wintery event! Between February 8-22, players can participate in the Festival of Frost, featuring chilly challenges like new themed floors in a 21-floor configuration of the Tower. You will also see some familiar Seasonal Trials and rewards from last year's Chills and Thrills event.
Adventurers will also receive a login reward in the form of the elegant Iceologer Cape as a thank you for having been part of the journey so far.
