Christmas Update - PikaNetwork 2020
December 2020
Greetings PikaCrafters,
We are approaching the Christmas period and, of course, the much loved holidays! We are preparing our network for Christmas.
We will be introducing Christmas gadgets, lootboxes in addition to some festive themed decorations and special Christmas themed maps.
The Christmas update, however, wasn't all we also gave a well-deserved update to the hub! This is in order to make it a much more fun place, whilst also being more helpful and easier for you, our players. We have done this hub update in combination with our Christmas update, so if you want to learn more about some of the new features, and the Christmas update read below!
During December, PikaNetwork will also have a 40% sale on our store, stay however up to date with the sales as we may increase the discount throughout the Christmas period, who knows!
Below you can check out all of the festive updates and information about them!

Christmas Cosmetics
Christmas updates bring the Christmas cosmetics and mystery boxes. There have been new Christmas cosmetics added such as gadgets, particles, suits and much more for you to discover. Collect them all on the server over this years month December!
Christmas Hub
We have got an amazing Christmas hub to reveal in a brand new winter/Christmas theme. We love how it has turned out! This isn't all, this year, we have also updated our SkyWars and BedWars lobbies to match the Christmas theme, it is packed with awesome Christmas builds for you to explore.
Not only have we turned the main hub in the style of this month so snowy and Christmassy we also added the following things;
- Parkour - This is a great addition for those of you out there that love to hang out in the hub or if you’re bored. We track your personal best time so you can be competitive against others and your friends. Do you have what it takes to be on the top of the leaderboard? Happy jumping!
- Present hunt - We will also be hosting a Present Hunt in the main hub, by scattering 32 presents for you to find! If you manage to find them all you will receive an exclusive cosmetic prize for your hard work. Are you able to discover them all? Best of luck!
Hub update
Login / Register Lobbies
Whether you’re new or old, all players have come to the same hub, this will no longer be the case. We have decided to add separate login and register lobbies, those little small lobbies will tell you exactly what to do. This is specifically for the new players of PikaNetwork, to help you with registering and logging in.
Password Resetting
We are now already a couple of months suggesting every player to verify their email. If you have already completed the verification then you are already set up for this feature implementation.
In order to verify your email, join the server then run /email (email address) on the server, then you need to check your email to find the link to verify the email. Be sure to check your inbox and your spam just in case. Once you click this link, your email will be verified.
The new password resetting feature is designed to speed up password resets. Simply run the command /resetpassword then we will send you a password reset link to your email. Please note that you must already have an email verified for this to work! Once you receive our email, click on the link provided and set up your new password. You will no longer have to open a password reset request and wait until a staff member helps you! This can be done in minutes and will provide you with a much higher level of security on your account.
A small little tip!
A green diamond on the tab list indicates you have linked your email correctly.
A blue diamond on the tab list indicates you have linked your discord correctly.
A pink diamond on the tab list indicates you have boosted our discord server. Thanks! :)
Cosmetics
Unlockable cosmetics have been added to our minigames but now also within our hubs! You can now show off your favorite cosmetics within the minigame lobbies and our hubs. Your profile and Pikalevel are now also displayed within the main hub as well. You don’t like the cosmetics? If you go to your lobby settings you can disable and enable all of these easily.
Better with friends
You are now able to add friends at PikaNetwork! Hop on the server and start by using the /friend command!
You can message your friends across the network using the /fmsg command, so you will never have to feel alone again.
More to come!
We have many more plans for coming to you this December. We have not only spent time creating new seasonal updates that you will only be able to play within December then they disappear come the new year. We have also decided to focus on some other updates on other gamemodes and maybe even more giveaways?
Stay tuned and keep your suggestions coming, we’re always looking.
Anyway, that's it for this update! We really hope you enjoy everything we've added in this Christmas update so far.
Thanks, enjoy!
