Minecraft occasionally hosts limited-time events exclusive to Minecraft: Bedrock Edition featuring special-made worlds. If you’ve followed those instructions and are still having issues getting into the event, here are potential solutions. Events may correspond with new builds of Minecraft. Loading your experience may take longer than usual.
Confirm your Minecraft Edition
Special Minecraft event worlds are only available in Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. You will not find them in Minecraft: Java Edition, Minecraft Dungeons, or Minecraft Legends.

You need to be using the most recent version of Bedrock Edition to join limited-time events. If you're having trouble updating, see these articles for more information:
