These are the currently active challenges and targets of the Creeper's Lab. They get updated every month with different goals, so keep an eye on this page or the latest news posts to see what there is to do!

It's Race Away's time! Run in the given direction, as far as you can in the alloted time, and cover more distance than the others. The higher your ranking, the more points you earn! If you die, you get sent back ALL the way to the beginning, so slow and steady might be a better strategy than fast and furious.
This month's run takes place in an endless mesa - mind your supplies! A 200 x 200 area centered on the start point will not spawn monsters.
Merit Points will be awarded in decreasing order based on the distance covered: the player with the highest score will get 30 points, second place 29, and so on until the 30th player with 1 point.
Monthly handicap: perma-night

Catacombs are down for maintenance. June rewards will be issued as soon as possible.
Rewards for June have now been issued. Please collect them from the Rewards Station in Laurasia Guildhall Basement by the end of July.
You may now start earning July Rewards. You will receive one unique Bundle for each path you completed during July. Completing the same path twice within the month will not result in additional rewards.
Also, as long as you completed at least one path, you'll receive a Catacombs Vault Key for use on the Vault at the Rewards Station. You can receive exactly one Catacombs Vault Key per month, whether you complete just one path or all eight.
A challenge mode is available each month in the Catacombs! These are optional challenges and not recommended for those new to the Catacombs. Please ensure that you activate the challenge before every run that you wish to attempt it in.

Please be aware that Iron Ore and Deepslate Iron Ore (and other similar pairings) are considered separate. So are Waxed and Unwaxed Copper, or Coppers at different stages of oxidisation. If the task is for one of them, the other does not count.
