The world of Hypixel Skyblock is expansive and filled with numerous activities for players to engage in. Among the numerous events and activities, one stands out for the mining enthusiasts: the Mining Fiesta.

What is Mining Fiesta in Hypixel Skyblock Minecraft?


Mining Fiesta is an exclusive event that takes place in all lobbies of Hypixel Skyblock. It occurs twice a year, with each event lasting 31 SkyBlock days, which translates to 10 hours and 20 minutes in real-time. Players should take note that this event is activated only when Cole or Foxy is the elected mayor with the Mining Fiesta Perk. However, there's another exciting twist: Mayor Jerry can also trigger a Mining Fiesta using the Mayor Jerry's Perkpocalypse perk.

Event Details
During the Mining Fiesta, players are in for a treat as they earn:

  • A whopping +75 SkyBlock Mining Wisdom
  • Double drops from mining
  • The opportunity to obtain the Refined Mineral from ores.

This event is exclusively active on public islands.

A Little Bit of Trivia
Did you know that the +75 SkyBlock Mining Wisdom can be stacked with Cole's first perk? This means you can get a total of +125 SkyBlock Mining Wisdom. Also, the event wasn’t always called "Mining Fiesta." It was initially termed "National Mining Month." The event was later split into two to ensure players from all corners of the globe had the chance to participate.

History of the Mining Fiesta
Here's a brief timeline of how the event has evolved:

  • September 8th, 2020: Introduced as the Mining Festival.
  • November 15th, 2020: Event renamed to Mining Fiesta and split into two to cater to a larger audience.
  • January 15th, 2021: Mining Fiesta bonus Mining experience changed from 2x to 1.5x.
  • September 6th, 2022: Adjusted from +1.5x Mining experience to +75 SkyBlock Mining Wisdom.

Tips for Maxing the Mining Fiesta
From a recent YouTube video, it was noted that the core mayor, Cole, is one of the only mining Mayors in Hypixel Skyblock. To maximize your rewards from the Mining Fiesta, you need to mine 1 million ores during the event. This Herculean task will earn you 200 SkyBlock XP. These mining events will occur twice during Cole’s tenure as mayor.

For those looking to strategize, the events will begin on the 1st of Early Summer and the 1st of Early Autumn in Skyblock time. Each event will last 16 days in Skyblock time or 5 hours and 20 minutes in real time. Several methods were tested to maximize ore mining:

  1. Mining in Crystal Hollows: A slower method yielding about 250 ores per minute.
  2. Mining in Dwarven Mines: Using mineral armor and mining on the bridge outside the Royal Palace proved more efficient, giving about 400 ores per minute.
  3. Cobblestone Generator on Private Island: The most efficient method, producing 1,000 cobblestones a minute.

The cobblestone generator method can be further optimized using the Efficient Miner perk from the Heart of the Mountain, yielding up to 1,400 ores per minute.

In Conclusion
The Mining Fiesta is a fantastic event for miners in the Hypixel Skyblock universe. Whether you're new or a seasoned player, these tips and insights will surely help you get the most out of the next Mining Fiesta. Remember to keep an eye out for Mayor Cole or Foxy's election, and happy mining!
