TRAILER
➤ NEW MAP, NEW SECRETS
It is time for a new map. Will miss our current map but we've been using it for too long. We can always bring it back for special events like anniversaries and stuff for nostalgia though :)
The new map has a central location you can drop down to from spawn.
Travel West for the Penguin Village
Travel East to enter Polis - an Olympus themed hub
Travel South through the forest to reach the Great Lake and pirate strongholds.
and finally North is a radioactive-apocalpytic overgrown bridge and crash sites
These were the top voted themes on our community survey. The map is also just about the same size in total as the old map.

Secret Shops
There is 3 secret shops hidden around the map
- Mermaid Merchant
Will sell you Diamond Axes, Night Vision, Invisibility Pots, Water Breathing Pots & Leaping Pots - Bone Dealer
Will sell you cheaper fishing rods, mushroom soups, boats, splash poison, and of course a bone - Penguin Shop
Will buy the fish you catch. Price is based on their rarity/length
Secret Shops are not a safezone though, so be cautious
Mana Fairies
There are (so far) 20 Mana Fairies hidden in secret spots & easter egg locations
Click to discover them and receive 50 Mana! You must also find them all to complete an achievement

Here is what they look like:
Talk to the Mana Fairy Queen at spawn to see which fairies you have found and which are still missing
➤ ECONOMY & KIT REVAMP
All the kits have been updated to be balanced and now also show their exact defense & damage capabilities. Kit items cannot be repaired or combined in anvils.
1 Kill now rewards you with $100, and shop prices have been updated & balanced accordingly. Diamond is now also purchasable, while the price of iron has been reduced
Mana is no longer given on level up and is also not tradeable anymore, but instead can received from: Achievements, Kill Streaks, Discovering Mana Fairies, Daily Rewards, Prestiging and KOTH wins.
Spend your mana on the new updated black market
New rewards include: Money Pouches, Kill Effects, 3 additional bank vaults, Ancient Treasure Keys & my favourite: Nuke the server!
Specific enchantments can now also be purchased with money @ the Enchanter NPC. You can still use vanilla enchantment tables to upgrade your gear as well for a cheaper but more RNG approach.
➤ LEVELING & PRESTIGES
Leveling up through levels 1-99 costs 50 PVP XP per level. Getting a kill grants you 10 XP, and getting an assist gives 5 XP.
Once you have reached level 99 you can complete a prestige challenge
Prestiging will grant you various perks such as bonus bank vaults, XP boosters, private arenas, Mana & more.
You can also compete on the prestige leaderboard, and there is no limit to how many times a person can prestige.
➤ SQUADS
Since teaming will always happen we've decided to make it official and enforce some new rules with it.
For 400 mana, you can create a Squad
Your squad can have a total of 4 members, and these 4 members are allowed to team together.
Features that come with a squad include:
- Squad Chat
- Squad Tag & Name
- Squad Stats & Leaderboards
- Squad Vault (Shared bank vault)
You are not allowed to team with other squads. If you are not in a squad you may only team with 1 other person.
Punishment will be warnings and then a temporary ban if this rule is broken.
➤ BOUNTY HUNTER
You can now set bounties on other players heads. Anyone can can claim a bounty, and can also purchase a Bounty Hunter compass to track their target!
If a player reaches a high kill streak, the server will automatically set a bounty on that players head as well.
Your total bounties completed is tracked and you can claim milestone rewards
➤ PLAYER ARENAS
Once you've prestiged at least once, you can create your own pvp arena! You can make your arena private or public, and anyone will be able to come to it if you're online. Arenas with the most likes will be displayed at the top in the /arena GUI
Building blocks can be purchased from the Arena Shop. If your arena is private, XP, Stats & Money will be disabled from kills to prevent boosting.
For more information, type /arena
➤ ACHIEVEMENTS
60 achievements can be completed, varying from total kills, winning a KOTH, enchanting x amount of items, max EXP level reached, x items repaired, distance traveled, fairies discovered & lots more.
Every achievement you complete will reward you with Mana. Completing all achievements is also a requirement for one of the Prestige Challenges.
View the achievements with /achievemenets or /a for short.
➤ DUELS
Challenge other players to a duel and stake money. You will be teleported to a selected arena fight with whatever you have equipped/in inventory, but will keep your inventory on death.
You can also duel against other squads!
➤ ENDERMENThere are 4 endermen located around the map. Bring x amount of "Magic Crystals" to them to unlock teleporting to that region. When you teleport to that region of the map, you will spawn in the sky falling down in a random location in that set area (to prevent spawn camping)
You can obtain magic crystals from /kit supplies (Everyone can use every 8 hours) and /kit enderman also gives some. You can also trade other players for them.
➤ KOTHWhen a KOTH (King of the Hill) event starts, players can teleport to a random location that is relatively close to the capture point
The first person to enter the capture point is the KOTH leader. If they can hold the point for 4 minutes, (subject to change) they win the event.
If they are knocked out of the capture area or killed, the person who knocked/killed them is the new leader and the capture time resets.
There will be a set schedule for koth times. Join a squad to have a better chance at winning this event
➤ QOL UPDATES
Damage Indicators
Show how much damage you're dealing against your opponent. Also displays their health in your action bar
Anti Loot Stealing
Loot from players you kill will have your name assigned to it for 10 seconds. Only you can pick up this loot. After 10 seconds your name will be removed and anyone will be able to pick it up
After 10 seconds:
Kit Available Notifications
When a kit comes off cooldown (besides default kit), you will receive a notification and sound alert
Pickup Filters
You can select which items you want and don't want to pick up by typing /filter
FPS Optimizations
We've designed the map and arenas to perform smoothly on lower end computers. We've also reduced unnecessary particles/effects and entity loading to improve FPS.
Assists
If you assist in a kill, you will now receive half the XP of a regular kill and 20% of the money from a regular kill
Cooldown Timers
A timer of how many seconds left on Ender pearl cooldown and Combat tag cooldown is displayed in your action bar.

Buy and sell items from other players on the Auction House!

➤ CUSTOM FISHING
Fishing has been revamped to where you can catch over 30 unique fish. Each fish has a random range in size, and that size determines how much you can sell it for. You can sell your fish at the secret Penguin Shop
The legendary Blue Shark can be caught and eaten for a strength boost, and the legendary Pygmy Whale can be caught and eaten for full health restore.
(These also can be sold instead to the Penguin Shop for big $$$)
