Shiny Orbs are LEGENDARY items which are bought from the Pig Shop. They can be used on Shiny Pigs to obtain various kinds of loot, including the elusive Shiny Relics.
Spawning[]
One of Mayor Technoblade's perks, Shrine of the Blood God, will make Shiny Pigs spawn around the Village (including some areas in the Graveyard that the game counts as part of the Village).
Shiny Pigs also spawned during the Third and Fourth SkyBlock Anniversaries.
Usage[]
Clicking a Shiny Pig while holding a Shiny Orb will launch the pig a short distance away while the orb hovers in place where it was clicked. The pig must be returned to its associated orb, either by hitting it or making it walk there (they will walk away from players). Once done, the pig will disappear and charge the orb, allowing it to be right clicked for a reward. Only the player that an orb belongs to may claim a prize from it.
A Shiny Pig that goes 90 seconds without returning to its associated Shiny Orb will despawn alongside the orb without giving any loot. A single player may have up to two Shiny Orbs active, but each will only accept the specific Shiny Pig they used it on. Charged orbs despawn if their owner hesitates to click them, or if their owner leaves the Hub Island server.
Loot[]
There are 17 possible rewards obtainable by returning Shiny Pigs to Shiny Orbs. If a charged orb is clicked with a Shiny Rod, any Coin drops will give 25% more Coins.
The following percentages are based on drops from 1,000 Shiny Orbs. ✯ Magic Find does not affect drops.

Trivia[]
- Shiny Orbs were added as part of [PIG+++] Technoblade's mayor perks, due to his position as the Resistance Leader.
- Although the Shiny Orb's description says to right-click Shiny Pigs, left-clicking them also works.
- The message received in the chat after clicking a charged orb has a misspelling. The word "piglet's" is spelled with two g's in the message.
- Getting 32 Enchanted Potatoes from a Shiny Orb counts as collecting 5,120 Potatoes during a Farming Contest.
- Shiny Orbs could previously be placed on Private Islands. This got patched, but some islands still have remaining orbs.
- In the first days of the event, about 9 million Shiny Pigs were killed every 24 hours.[1]
- During the 21 days that the event lasted, 53 million Shiny Orbs were used.[2]
