BAREBONES RELEASED /server barebones
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, gems and rating. With the 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, you will instantly receieve a few seconds of Regeneration II. 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. There'll be a new map and spawn every season.
Donator Rank
Donator ranks are currently not available for purchase, and will be by the end of this weekend. You can view the perks still with /ranks
Your KitPvP Donator Rank will be synced with Barebones. Example: If you have Legend on KitPvP, you will be able to claim Legend on Barebones. Also, if you purchase Legend, you will receive it on KitPvP AND Barebones.
Seasons
To keep things interesting, there will be Seasons. Seasons will last for exactly 1 month. The first season will be from July 1st - July 31st
Seasons are seasonal leaderboards, tracking players with the Highest Rating and Most Kills. This leaderboard will be displayed in-game, as well as a much longer version on our website.
Website version is @ minevast.com/barebones - HOWEVER at the time of this news post it is currently not updating or displaying information properly, and will be fixed very soon.
At the end of each season, players will be rewarded based off how well they did. You can type /SEASON in-game to view these rewards and requirements
At the start of a new season, items purchased from the Armory will be wiped, items purchased from the Collectibles shop will not be wiped
Rating
Your rating is basically your PvP score, and is similar to an MMR or ELO Rating.
All players start out at 1200 rating, and receive +5 Rating for killing someone, and lose -5 rating for dying.
Sponsor Rank receives +7 Rating per kill instead of 5.
Armory
In the Armory, you are able to purchase upgraded gear. You will drop this gear on death. You can open the Armory by right-clicking the anvil in your inventory, or by typing /armory

For every kill streak milestone, you will earn a bonus Gem reward. Your kill streak will also be announced in chat, and milestones of 10 (10, 20, 30, etc.) will be announced on everyone's screen!
Hats
Tired of your boring block head? Cover it up with these stylish hats!
There are many hats to choose from - Once purchased, you can right click them to wear them, or type /hat. You will keep these hats on death, and can also store them in the Soul Chests @ spawn.
Hats are purchasable with Gems. You receive 1 Gem per kill.
