Minecraft Spookyfest 2022: Everything you need to know

Minecraft Spookyfest is a special Halloween celebration that Mojang hosts every October. Since a lot of the playerbase celebrates this festival, it attracts a lot of fans to the game. The sandbox title is generally considered pretty scary, with mobs like Creepers and Wardens often jump-scaring players. Hence, the Spookyfest celebration fits well with the game.

During this time, Mojang offers loads of Halloween-themed features for players to explore and enjoy. Some of them are inside both the games (regular Minecraft and Minecraft Dungeons), while others are real-life content that people can use. Since this is only focused towards Halloween, these features are only available for a limited time.
