How To Get The Imagination Core In Roblox
### Intro
You’re looking at one of the coolest and most sought-after free items in recent Roblox history. This is the Imagination Core, and in this video, I’m going to give you a complete, step-by-step tutorial on how to get this free head accessory. We’re going on a journey together, a deep dive into a classic Roblox event, and I’ll be with you every step of the way.
This isn’t just a quick “go here, do this” guide. We’re going to explore this from the ground up. By the end of this video, not only will you have this glowing cube sitting on your avatar’s head, but you’ll also be an expert on how it was obtained and the history behind it.
The best part? It’s simple. You don’t need any Robux, you don’t have to be a pro at some impossible obby, and you don’t have to grind for hours. All it requires is a little bit of your time and this guide. The item was a reward for participating in the 8th Annual Bloxy Awards, so the first thing we need to do is head into the game hub where it all happened. Let’s load up the 8th Annual Bloxy Awards game and get started!
### Section 1: Understanding the Mission and The Game Hub
Alright, before we jump in, let’s get some context. The item we’re hunting for is the Imagination Core. It’s a hat accessory created by Roblox for the 8th Annual Bloxy Awards, which took place back in March 2021. This wasn’t a random item drop; it was a reward for players who took part in the main event. The official description says it’s “glowing with imagi-radiation,” which is pretty cool.
So, where are we going? The game is titled the “8th Annual Bloxy Awards.” This was the hub for the entire 2021 awards event, like a massive virtual convention center celebrating Roblox creators from the previous year. When you join, you’re basically stepping back in time. The game itself is an immersive voyage across the Metaverse and even featured a virtual concert from the rock band Royal Blood.
Our mission is tied to the main attraction: a cinematic ride called the “Metaverse Journey.” It’s an automated, on-rails experience that streamed the awards show on a giant screen while players traveled through custom-built worlds. The story was that the ship was powered by the Imagination Core, but its power was depleted. The goal was to visit award-winning games to find “metashards” and recharge it.
So our task is simple: join the 8th Annual Bloxy Awards hub, find the ship that hosts the Metaverse Journey, and complete the ride from start to finish. When the journey ends, the game should automatically award you a badge and the Imagination Core item. While the event is from 2021, the game has remained active, and the good news is that the method for getting the badge is still working for players. Now that you know the what and the why, let’s get into the how.
### Section 2: From Spawn to Ship: Your Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Okay, time for action. First, you need to launch the game. Go to the Roblox website or app and search for “8th Annual Bloxy Awards.” You’ll see an experience with a futuristic purple and blue logo, likely from the “Roblox Presents” creator group. Hit the play button.
The game might take a moment to load. When it does, you’ll spawn in a big, fancy lobby with concession stands on either side. Feel free to soak in the atmosphere, but your objective is straight ahead.
You’ll see a long, wide hallway stretching out in front of you. This is your path. Start walking. As you move down the corridor, you’ll notice the sharp angles and neon lights that defined the event’s futuristic style. Keep your eyes fixed on the end of the hall.
About halfway down, you’ll see it through a massive window: a colossal spaceship hovering in space. That’s not just background scenery; that’s your ride. This is the ship that will take you on the Metaverse Journey.
Continue to the very end of the hallway to the ship’s boarding area. Now, this next part is the most important step, so listen carefully. Near the entrance to the ship, you’ll see a sign with a timer on it. It will say something like “Until Departure” or “Show in Progress.” The Metaverse Journey is a continuous experience, roughly an hour long, that was designed to play on a loop.
You have to pay attention to that timer. If it’s counting down, that means you have that much time until the next show begins. You can wait by the gate or explore the lobby. If the sign says “In Progress,” the ship has already left. You can’t board while the show is in progress. You must wait for it to return and for the timer to reset for the next departure. If you join and a show is already running, you could be waiting for up to an hour.
Your goal is to be at this gate when the timer hits zero or the doors open for boarding. You’ll likely see a prompt to interact with the door or ramp. Walk on board and find a seat in the main viewing area. Congratulations, the hardest part of the manual process is done. Now, just sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.
### Section 3: The Metaverse Journey: A Detailed Ride-Along
Alright, you’re on board, the doors have closed, and the massive screen at the front flickers to life. This is it. You’re locked in for the next hour or so. A bit of advice: don’t go completely AFK, or you might get kicked for being inactive. Just move your character or camera every ten minutes. Also, pro tip: look for a small camera icon on your UI. Clicking it should zoom your view directly into the screen, giving you a perfect, unobstructed view.
The experience starts with your host, Bloxsworth, welcoming you aboard an interstellar voyage. Then, the host of the 8th Annual Bloxy Awards, JParty, appears and explains that the community is coming together for this special event.
Soon, the plot is revealed: the ship is powered by the Imagination Core, but its power is low. To recharge it, they need to find “metashards” located in the year’s best Roblox games.
The first part of the journey is the awards show itself. You’ll see nominees and winners for categories like “Best New Game,” with clips from games like Brookhaven. You’ll even see short acceptance speeches from the actual game developers appearing as their Roblox avatars.
Between awards, the story continues. JParty teleports into different game worlds to find the shards. He might visit Adopt Me! and interact with iamSanna, or get into shenanigans with other YouTubers like TanqR and KreekCraft. Keep an eye out for hidden Easter eggs during these scenes.
About halfway through, you get to the Halftime Show. The ship “docks” at a virtual concert arena where the rock duo Royal Blood performs a three-song set, including the debut of their single “Limbo.” It’s a full-on virtual concert and a great example of how music and gaming can merge in the metaverse.
After the concert, it’s back to the awards. More categories are announced, like “Xbox Game of the Year” and “Creator of the Year,” interspersed with more skits of JParty’s quest for metashards.
Finally, the climax. All the shards have been collected. In a brilliant animation, the shards come together and fly towards the depleted Imagination Core, reassembling it piece by piece until it’s glowing with energy. The mission is a success.
As the credits roll, your ship returns to the hub. The screen fades, and you’re teleported from your seat back to the main lobby. The journey is complete. Now, for your reward.
### Section 4: The Badge and The Prize: Claiming Your Imagination Core
You did it. You’re back in the main lobby. This is the moment of truth. As soon as you materialize back in the hub, you should see a notification pop up on the bottom right of your screen for a badge titled “Imagination Core.” The description reads, “Careful, it’s glowing with imagi-radiation. Awarded to users who completed a trip through the Metaverse in the 8th Annual Bloxy Awards experience.”
When you see that badge, that’s your confirmation. The system is simultaneously depositing the Imagination Core hat accessory into your inventory. There’s no big pop-up that says “You got the item!”—the badge is your main notification.
But what if you don’t see the badge right away? Don’t panic. This event could be a little laggy sometimes. The first thing to do is just wait a minute or two. Walk around the lobby and see if it eventually appears.
If you still don’t have the badge after a few minutes, check your inventory manually. It’s possible you got the item, but the badge notification just failed to appear. Leave the game and go to your inventory on the Roblox website or app. More often than not, you’ll find it’s already there.
Okay, let’s say you’ve checked your inventory and the Imagination Core is not there, and you never saw the badge. Here’s a troubleshooting step that worked for many players back in 2021. The fix is to try and force the game to re-check your eligibility by “deleting” the badge from your profile and rejoining the game.
To do this, go to your Roblox profile page and find your badges. If you see the “Imagination Core” badge there but don’t have the item, click on the badge. There should be a three-dot menu with an option to “Delete from Inventory.” Go ahead and delete it. Now, close everything and rejoin the 8th Annual Bloxy Awards hub. Because the server now sees you don’t have the badge, it may re-trigger the reward script and give you both the badge and the item correctly. This was a common fix that helped many players.
So to recap: finish the ride, look for the badge, and if nothing happens, check your inventory directly. If it’s not there, try deleting the badge from your profile and rejoining the game hub.
### Section 5: Equipping and Showing Off Your New Swag
You’ve done it. The Imagination Core is in your inventory. This item is a piece of Roblox history, and now it’s time to equip it.
**For PC users:**
First, exit the Bloxy Awards game. On the main Roblox screen, click the “hamburger menu” (three horizontal lines) in the top-left corner. From the panel that slides out, click on “Avatar.”
This takes you to the Avatar Editor. Click on the “Accessories” tab, then the “Head” sub-category. You should see a grid of all your head accessories. Scroll through and look for the vibrant, glowing cube named “Imagination Core.” Simply click its icon. It will immediately appear on your avatar, and the next game you join, you’ll be wearing it.
**For Mobile users:**
Make sure you’ve closed the game and are on the main Roblox app screen. At the bottom, tap the icon in the center that looks like your avatar.
This takes you to your profile page. Tap the “Customize” button. You’ll see a series of icons for different item categories. Tap on “Accessories,” then tap the “Head” option.
Scroll through your head items until you find the Imagination Core. Tap on its icon, and it will instantly pop onto your character’s head. The change is saved automatically, and you’re ready to show it off in your next game.
