Some of you may have heard of the Barebones server. This project has taken turn, and has now became our main focus for our newest gamemode. We have more features planned for it than initially.
What is Barebones?
In Barebones, there is a single kit, that is automatically equipped to your account. You will not drop this kit on death, and will instantly respawn (skip respawn screen) with it again.
Killing other players will give you coins. With these coins you can open the Armory, and buy upgraded items. These upgraded items are not OP, but will certainly give you an advantage in 1v1 combat. You cannot store items on Barebones, and you will drop items bought from the Armory on death.
When you kill someone, they will drop a Healing Apple. Running over this, will instantly apply a short 2-3 second regeneration and speed affect Good for getting back to full health faster to continue fighting. (You also do not lose hunger).
The map is designed, for a great PvP experience. Our main focus is no longer making the map aesthetically pleasing, but rather the best it can be for PvP combat. It is also much smaller.
Seasons
To keep things interesting, there will be Seasons. Seasons will last for exactly 1 month. The first season will last less than 2 weeks, since we will be releasing the server during the middle of May.
Seasons are seasonal leaderboards, tracking players with the most kills. This leaderboard will be displayed in-game, as well as a much longer version on our website. There will also be weekly leaderboards.
At the end of each Season, the top 3 killers will be rewarded with Real Life Money, In-Game Tags, Prestige, and more. At the beginning of the new season, the season kit will be changed, along with a new Wild Card item in the Armory. (Such as Flint and Steel, Lava bucket, Cob Web, etc.)
Items purchased from the Armory will also be wiped.
Cosmetics + More
To pay the bills, Donators will receive a bunch of cool cosmetics, such as
OG Death Effects
Hats (Kept on death) There are also no helmets in the game. So hats are now viable.
Titles (There will be a lot more titles to choose from. Will also show next to your name above your head and in TAB.
Boosters (Global Boosters, such as coin multipliers)
Emotes
Pets (We will make sure pets do not interfere with your PvP experience)
If you have any suggestions, please let us know.
Release Date
I am currently preparing to release a Staff Only Beta in the next week. Depending on how things go, we will release it!
Too long didnt read: (TLDR)
Barebones is going to be great!

Now for the new Creative updates
The Shop has finally been revamped!
I have revamped the Gem Shop with a ton of new things to buy, along with a much higher quality design.
Note: Everything you buy from the Gem Shop, will last for 48 hours. You will have to buy it again after those 48 hours.
Coming soon will be more ways to earn Gems.
Pet: You are now able to unlock pets (Except the Wither and Enderdragon) with Gems.
Disguises: Currently, you are able to buy 9 disguises with Gems. We will be making more disguises available for Gems as time goes on. There are however 25+ disguises in the Shop.
Plots: We are currently developing a system for MineVast to detect how many current plots you have, and adding 1 to that total. This will allow you to buy as many plots as you want! (This feature will be ready within 2 days of this news post)
Commands: You are now able to buy multiple commands with Gems through the shop! Some of commands are WorldEdit, /Vanish, /ptime, /back, and /plot merge.
The Tier 1 WorldEdit package now comes with a lot more commands! You can view them in-game by hovering over the icon.
New TAB and and player name addition
Your Building Grade will now be displayed next to your name, as well as in the TAB. Additionally, your total hours played will be displayed underneath your username. I am currently working on a toggle so you can disable this from your account if you'd like.
OTHER UPDATES
- New global Chat Filter. Now blocks some swear words, sentences with 80% CAPS, and a 1 second chat delay for non-donators (To prevent spam bots).
We are aware some people do not like this update, and are open to suggestions. We will not be changing the swear filter, so please do not suggest that. - Now blocking syntax commands to prevent stuff like /bukkit:me
- Decreased /helpop cooldown to 5 seconds (Spamming it will result in a ban,)
- Decreased /report cooldown to 30 seconds (Spamming it will result in a ban.)
- All servers now officially support 1.9.4
- Back end optimizations
