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

Unstable Gravity

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.[1]

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 a thousandth of the base gravity stat,[1] is equal to a level 6 Jump Boost potion, with the player's new jump height being roughly 6.1 blocks.[note 1]

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.
