Game
Here are some updates on the projects we have been working on:
- We welcomed two new aspirants to the Game Department this week, papertowels2 and Talantius!
- We are happy to announce the major changes to KitPVP, featuring the McDuels plugin, 17 unique arenas, and the ability to duel and spectate players while testing each MassiveRace is live on the server! Additionally, a command is now available to activate your Race’s Ultimate Ability: /race ultimate. Head over to /tp PVP to get started! We will continue to update and improve our KitPVP world with new arenas, races, and available kit weapons as time progresses.
- Regarding MassiveVillagers, tech have successfully set up logging for villager trading events, and Game is making last minute changes to the configuration of our plugin which despawns excessive mobs. We wish to limit extreme abundance of villagers which would contribute to TPS lag, but we feel it is important to ensure your villagers will not despawn randomly and cause anger.
- Please join in on testing our new plugin, Kingdoms! Details can be found here: https://forums.massivecraft.com/threads/kingdoms-public-test-server.92302/
