UltraVanilla occasionally does April Fools events on April 1st of each year, with varying effects and causes.

Flip spawn (2023)

Basic details

Example of NPC Characters at Flip Spawn

On April 1st 2023 a new version of spawn was set up millions of blocks away from server activity. This spawn was flipped and featured NPC versions of players wandering around the area aimlessly.

Located just outside of the spawn was a large barrier, with a cube of Diamond Blocks placed just out of reach as bait for players to run into the barrier.

Only the space within the Spawn boundary was taken and flipped. With everything outside of that being naturally generated terrain excluded by the Barrier blocks covering it all up.

Like previous joke changes of spawn, a sign was available at the warp to send you back to the real spawn area.

The Nether at Flip Spawn

The great breakout

PazinGaming, Huge_Male, Jimbonator and Mattesco managed to find a way out of this border and wound up creating a house out of the diamond cube. This was unintentional. Items from outside of Flip Spawn are on display in the Rotherhythe World Museum.

By escaping this area, a Nether portal was created. Flip spawn is located so far out of bounds that the Nether World Border was the location the portal would send you to.

Zombie NPC's

The Diamond Cube house built during the breakout

The NPC's roaming Flip Spawn at the beginning of the day were the members of staff on the team at the time of the event. However as the day progressed NPC's of players who had visited would begin to appear and roam in the Zombie-like fashion the same as the Staff ones.

These NPC's would only roam the streets of Spawn, around areas like the flipped auction house, flipped map art museum etc.

On April 2nd 2023 the spawn warp command now returned players back to the proper location with flip spawn being accessible only to the one or two players who had kept a /home there.

Unstable Gravity (2025)

The messages sent to all players affected, before and after the event.

On April 1st 2025 a script was added to the server that messes with players gravity, making using elytra or even just jumping a hassle every 20-30 minutes for for 1-2 minutes at a time.

Due to the reduced gravity, using elytras at some angles is useless, causing the player to get stuck in the air unless they move their camera. The reduced gravity, being an eighth of the base gravity stat, is equal to a level 6 Jump Boost potion, with the player's new jump height being roughly 6.1 blocks.

This event has been jokingly compaired to HermitCraft Season 8's Big Moon Incident due to the similar concepts, though no builds were damaged by the lower gravity.
