Collect Candy Canes turns your whole map into a festive treasure hunt that keeps players exploring every corner of the city throughout December. Glowing candy canes spawn at configurable locations, and players who track them down can bank their finds and exchange them for money, items, or exclusive seasonal rewards.
It is a wonderfully simple idea executed as a clean, lightweight resource. The hunt gives casual players a low-pressure reason to log in, encourages travel to parts of the map they normally ignore, and creates natural friendly competition over who can gather the most.
How Collect Candy Canes works
Server owners define where canes can appear and how many exist at once, and the script handles the rest, respawning collectibles on a timer so the hunt never fully runs dry. Each pickup plays a satisfying effect and updates the player's running tally.
- Configurable spawn points across the entire map
- Adjustable respawn timers and total cane count
- Reward exchange for money, items, or event prizes
- Per-player tally with anti-duplication protection
- Satisfying pickup effects and sounds
Lightweight and easy to manage
The resource is built to sit quietly in the background until a player interacts with it, so it adds almost nothing to your server load even while dozens of collectibles are active around the map at once.
- Optimised spawning that idles when unused
- Simple config for locations, rewards, and limits
- Framework hooks for money and inventory handling
- Locale strings ready for translation
- Clean install with no heavy dependencies
Activities like this shine during the holidays because they give a community shared goals and gentle competition without demanding a full event to be staffed, letting the fun run itself all season long. New players in particular benefit, since the hunt gently guides them around the map and teaches them the city while they chase a reward, turning what could be an aimless first session into a genuinely engaging introduction to your world.
You can rotate the reward pool weekly to keep the chase fresh, ensuring even dedicated hunters always have a new incentive to keep searching. Pairing the exchange with a decorated festive stall or a friendly NPC also adds a little roleplay flavour, so collecting canes becomes a warm seasonal ritual rather than a purely mechanical grind for points.
Pair the hunt with more festive content in our seasonal collection, or decorate the exchange point using items from the props catalogue.
