The 2024 April fools was inspired by the bingo mode inside the Skyblock game mode on the most popular 1.8 Minecraft server, Hypixel. The premise of this entire April fools is about starting again from scratch, and getting as far as possible with all of the changes made to balance the entire game out over 24+ hours.^[1] The event started on April 1st 2024, 00:42 UTC^[2] and ended at April 3rd 2024, 00:00 UTC, two days after it started.^[3]

Changes[edit | edit source]

There are many major changes in this event, mostly relating to making everything go by faster, that everything should be possible in 24 hours or more.

Rescuing[edit | edit source]

Rescuing has been changed drastically. The rescue cooldown always lasts 6 minutes (before it was 6h) without any modification now, and each rescue also always mentions the rescue cooldown (this doesn't count as a line for the statistic).

The Zoo Shop™[edit | edit source]

The Zoo Shop™ has been drastically buffed to account for the fairness in this event. The shop majorly includes the Rare to Relic offers (10, 11, 12).

Relics
Emoji	Name	Description (in-game)	Extra Information

	Cursed Dice	50% chance to find a pair when rescuing, 50% chance to find nothing.	—
	Shopping Cart	Greatly increases the chance of finding items, but raises your rescue cooldown by 1 minute when you get one.	Only change is the cooldown reduction (change: $x/60$ )
	Magnifying Glass	Grants a 20% chance to rescue an animal needed to increase your completion percentage.	—
	Satellite	Grants a 5% chance of rescuing for you, as soon as your rescue cooldown expires. Increases by 1% for every 3 remaining rescue notifications (up to 20% chance)	—
	Hourglass	Increases luck and reduces your rescue cooldown by 15 seconds if your rescue didn't have a notification or auto-rescue.
