One of the best things to do during Halloween in Minecraft is to make spooky builds and celebrate the season in full swing. The community is filled with guides to make scary builds. While you can go all out and make things like giant pumpkins or haunted castles, you can also make small builds like graveyards or Nether portals.
If that seems like too much trouble, you can download custom spooky worlds and explore them while using some of the best shaders or packs. The game contains an array of hostile mobs like zombies, skeletons, and even the nefarious creaking. Take on night exploration challenges and immerse yourself in the celebrations.

2) Decorate your base

If you're like me and don't like doing too much, you can decorate your base to give it the spooky effect without going all out and making extravagant builds. Craft a few carved pumpkins and spread them around your base, or hang a few jack-o’-lanterns to give it that spooky feeling.
Additionally, you can use orange and black wool or banners to liven up your base with the signature spooky shades. Add a few cobwebs around your builds or place a few armor stands if you wish to simulate stakes or scarecrows. You can even rename items using an anvil and give them ominous names, blending in seamlessly with the overarching mood.

3) Download horror maps

One of the most exciting things you can do during Halloween in Minecraft is download custom maps or experiences and play them. The community has tons of exciting worlds that feature spooky storylines and plots where you can fight mob bosses, explore ruins, or even exorcise demons.
Here are a few horror maps you can check out to embrace the spooky spirit from your preferred devices:
Simply download these maps and place them in the saved world folder in your Minecraft directory. Once done, load the world from your saved games section and dive into these horror-themed worlds.
4) Use Mob Spawners for horde modes

One of the most exciting things you can do during Halloween in Minecraft (apart from throwing tp at your neighbor's house) is to make use of multiple mob spawners and create horde rush modes. Using redstone, you can set up spawners that have a cooldown, creating a period of rest between each wave.
During this rest period, dispensers can be set up to drop custom loot that can help fight off these hordes. Items such as enchanted weapons, food, and armor can help you and your gang fight off waves of hostile mobs such as zombies, creepers, and more.
