'''Event servers''', known officially as '''Live Events''', and internally as '''Gatherings'''[{{Citation|url=https://www.twitch.tv/cornerhard/clip/WiseCarelessTrufflePraiseIt-vyq0HfKDYST1g4Bx|title=Realms and Gatherings|author=CornerHard}}], are public servers hosted by [[Mojang Studios]] for a limited amount of time on the main menu on {{Edition|bedrock}}. Players have to login to a Microsoft/Xbox Live account in order to join the Live Event server[{{Mcnet|better-together-faq|Better Together FAQ|July 31, 2017}}] and all devices including consoles can join them just like [[featured servers]].
When a Live Event is announced and opened, a dedicated button appears on the main menu. Upon clicking the button, the player is shown a screen with the server key art, a description, a button that redirects to a web page, and a button to join the event server.
