How MCC Snow Down Works
Ten teams battle through eight custom minigames testing core Minecraft skills—parkour, combat, survival, and teamwork. Teams accumulate coins based on performance, with multipliers increasing as the event progresses. Strategic game selection through the Decision Dome adds another competitive layer, as chickens determine which minigames get played when.
The top two coin-earning teams advance to Dodgebolt, an intense archery finale where teams eliminate opponents until only champions remain.
