The Universal Event was an event server made in collaboration with Universal Pictures. There are six districts in the map, which are designed as a theme park. Players could complete two sets of quests to obtain two character creator items. The map contained 6 minigames and 3 parkour courses.
Tickets
Tickets were a currency obtained by completing parkour, playing minigames, finding golden clappers, and completing achievements. They were used to purchase items from various shops around the server.

Districts
The in-game map used for quick travel, showing all six districts of the event.
The server was divided into 6 main districts: the entrance at the bottom of the map, Courthouse Square in the center, and Jaws Lake, Shrek's Swamp, Wall Street, and Western Street around it. Each district has a distinct theme as well as unique shops, parkour, and minigames. The quick travel menu could be used to view a map of the server as well as teleport to each area.
Entrance
The entrance was the location at which players spawn. In the center was a replica of the rotating Universal globe fountain found at Universal Studios in real life. Behind the spawn point was the theme park's exit, blocked by a gate. To the left was the entrance to Wall Street, to the right was the entrance to Western Street, and directly forward was Courthouse Square on the other side of a road.
Players in the 7x7 area around the spawn point were given Invisibility for 99,999 seconds. Players who moved out of this area had the effect removed.

Trivia
This is not only the first collaborative event server (the closest previous being a promotion for Minecraft Legends), but the first to be released to celebrate a holiday as opposed to a specific Minecraft release.
In one of the promotional images, a character resembling Zuri can be seen in the background, the only difference being noticeably different hair.
The Wall Street and Western Street cutouts appear to reuse spritework from the Trails & Tales Event; in particular, Efe and a camel.
Notably, the map correctly names the shark from Jaws as Bruce instead of attributing the title to him, as is common.
Promotional render featuring Noor, Kai, Makena, and Sunny riding a tram from the event; also promoting various maps from the Marketplace with Universal properties.
Another version.
