There were 12 golden clappers in hidden places around the server. For finding all of them, the player was rewarded with the Clapperboard static back character creator item.

  A golden clapper

• 

  The Clapperboard back item

Districts

The in-game map used for quick travel, showing all six districts of the event.

The server was divided into 6 main districts: the entrance at the bottom of the map, Courthouse Square in the center, and Jaws Lake, Shrek's Swamp, Wall Street, and Western Street around it. Each district has a distinct theme as well as unique shops, parkour, and minigames. The quick travel menu could be used to view a map of the server as well as teleport to each area.

Entrance

The entrance was the location at which players spawn. In the center was a replica of the rotating Universal globe fountain found at Universal Studios in real life. Behind the spawn point was the theme park's exit, blocked by a gate. To the left was the entrance to Wall Street, to the right was the entrance to Western Street, and directly forward was Courthouse Square on the other side of a road.

Players in the 7x7 area around the spawn point were given Invisibility for 99,999 seconds. Players who moved out of this area had the effect removed.

Trivia

• This is not only the first collaborative event server (the closest previous being a promotion for Minecraft Legends), but the first to be released to celebrate a holiday as opposed to a specific Minecraft release.
• In one of the promotional images, a character resembling Zuri can be seen in the background, the only difference being noticeably different hair.
• The Wall Street and Western Street cutouts appear to reuse spritework from the Trails & Tales Event; in particular, Efe and a camel.
• Notably, the map correctly names the shark from Jaws as Bruce instead of attributing the title to him, as is common.
