Category:Winter Event 2016

Overview
The 2016 MH WInter Update featured a variety of new items and features just in time for the seasons. Users also received perks after buying artifacts during Black Friday 2016 and the event was released as parts.

Part 1
Part 1 of the 2016 Winter Update was released on Friday, December 9th 2016. This update was supposed to be released at 8:00pm EST but Berezaa decided to continue his "lazy" streak of announcing dates saying when these updates would come out and instead developing the updates at that time. The update came out around 9:30pm EST instead. Here are the changes that occured with this update
 * The map was winterized, parts were recolored, it started snowing, and a snowflake appeared on the back of the Miner's Haven logo as seen on the start screen.


 * This update included part 1 of the Artifacts taking effect, this means some of the artifacts' effects were released but not all of them, the second part of the unboxing would be out by Christmas revealing the contents of the artifacts. To read about the artifacts, refer to the Black Friday 2016 page.

Part 2
Part 2 of the 2016 winter update was released on Sunday, December 18th 2016 at around 7:30pm EST. In this update, a variety of new winter content was finally released, here's a list of all the changes that occurred:
 * A custom chat menu was added when Berezaa suspected that the problems with the standard ROBLOX chat menu broke the Ore Cannon and teleporters in November.


 * Users finally received items that would come with Black Friday artifacts including:
 * Ore Nebula & Nebula Reciever (from the Pocket Nebula Artifact)
 * Tiny Iron Mine (from the Giant Crate Artifact)
 * Martian Friend (from The Planet Mars Artifact)
 * For the first time, exotics were added into mystery boxes as gifts. These gifts will not be opened until Christmas when the exotics become unobtainable via mystery boxes.
 * Similar to the pumpkins from the 2016 Spooky Update, bright orange gifts started raining from the sky rewarding Regular Boxes. Its unknown or even doubtful that Berezaa might do something even greater with these presents like he did with the 2016 Spooky Update where smashing 100 pumpkins would award the user with a Pumpkin Hero and smashing the massive pumpkin would award the user with a Candy Bag.

Part 3
As promised by Berezaa, this update was released on December 25th 2016 at around 12:00pm EST. Here are the changes that occurred in this update: A patch was made the following evening, changes listed below.
 * The three Christmas Exotic gifts have been opened, revealing new exotic items.
 * Two new gifts have appeared in mystery boxes, set to open on New Year's Day.
 * Headless Santa has appeared in the center of the map, replacing The Masked Man and is selling mystery boxes, clovers, and limited time Christmas Collectibles and Exotics. Headless Santa will appear until 2017, when most likely Jak'uhfdor will take his place.
 * New Christmas and Winter items have appeared in the uC Shop including Festive Conveyor (a really fast and 2x2 unit conveyor making shop conveyors about obsolete), Snow-Covered Tree, and Christmas Wall.
 * Sweet Tooth was first sold by Headless Santa on December 27th, 2016.
 * Santa's Chimney was updated, which included fixes and an updated description.
 * For a short time, Miner's Haven was renamed to "Santa's Haven".
