Season 1 ARENA UPDATE | PVP ALWAYS ON
Yo yo yo its ur favv white boy writing again as we have a huge update this time around. Major tune backs on the custom enchants used in combat and core balance changes made to gameplay in order to keep things fair but unique.
New Gamemode: Block Fights
-------------------------------
Block Fight is a brand new gamemode added to the server, place diamonds on the line and attempt to be the first player to 5 wins!
Players start out with unlimited wooden blocks, a diamond sword and an iron axe. Placed in a small arena and are forced to fight with only these tools. Utilise building to block off and surprise your opponent or just run in like a blind chicken and attempt to brute force your opponent down.
After each round if you are the loser, select a randomly generated enchant and head back into the fight with the arena remaining the same as the previous rounds played.
Its a new stylish Gamemode which combines the old mechanics of Minecraft PVP with some of the new, creating for a unique experience every time. Personally Me and fellow developer Kai find the Gamemode incredibly unique and engaging and we hope you will too!

Only two players can play at a time, otherwise you will be placed in que. While qued you will be placed with anyone betting. if you bet a high amount of diamonds you can still be matched with those betting lower to avoid long que times.
THE MODE IS TEMPORARY! But if people enjoy the gamemode we will happily update and support it further!
