Server Battle Royale Minecraft

[Shinyoung Gedris]

Minecraftbattle royale servers use the gameplay mechanics of the popular battle royale genre (like well-known video-games PUBG or Fortnite) in the Minecraft game. Players are dropped onto a map and must gather resources, build structures, and fight to be the last person or team standing. The map gradually shrinks, forcing players to come into contact with each other and forcing the action to climax.

Hey everyone I hope you're all doing well. I just wanted to put a little promotion in community central if that's okay. For starters I just started the Hoplite Wiki which is dedicated to a new and revamped version of a Minecraft Battle Royale UHC type server. It carries a variety of new mods and plugins where players can fight with modded weapons and non regenerative health. I just wanted to promote here in community central as I do want to get a startup onto my wiki and don't have as many options to bring people there. Hoplite just grabbed attention to many UHC content creators so I thought it would be a great idea to let new players learn about combat, and mechanics in the server.

As new players are traversing servers or finding new games to play, a combat based UHC server that has quick updates and new weapons often could spark the eyes of others. With your help, we can create information to support this wiki.

As one admin of an entire server, it's tedious to work on multiple pages at once and create the most specific and accurate information. I would propose that you can input the knowledge that you already know and help me create more quality pages.

Firstly what is your wiki about? What is the purpose of your wiki? How can users benefit from your wiki? What is exactly you planning on doing in the future with your wiki? How is your wiki any different from the content covered in each wiki?: _(Civ6) _(Age_of_Empires)

@Mandarin18 it's different predominantly due to how I referenced in my post that it was a minecraft server, and the other wikis are talking about historical backgrounds of Hoplite civilizations, armor, and empires

Sorry for the unspecific title, (I am also unsure if this is the correct place to post, but I was unsure.) but I have been searching for years for an active server which has battle such as the "Super Pirate Battle Royal" Minecraft video which went viral a while back:

I hope you are able to get the basic idea. Being in some sort of stationary structure, with weapons such as TNT cannons, which attack another similar structure. I have looked this up before, but all postings I have seen either have nearly empty servers or extremely outdated posts. This has surprised me because it seems simple. Two pirate ships, each with cannons. They can either be created using command blocks or a TNT cannon. The people could also be able to attack in hand-to-hand combat.

I really tried write like a pirate for the opening of this post, but I started sounding like Snoop Dogg. I'd start with "yarrs" but end up adding "-izzle" to the end of words. It got surreal. So instead of being incredibly clever, I'm just going to give it to you straight: this is a Minecraft map where two battleships set to each other across the briny deep, using those complicated bits of Redstone machinery that I never understand to fire TNT across the briny sea. Er, yarr? The ships are anchored opposite each other, and in a hilarious disregard for human safety they fire blocks of TNT using other blocks of TNT loaded into the cannons. Video below, fo' shizzle.

The cinematic trailer below shows the fun you can have on a multiplayer server with the nautical nonsense, a battleship teeming with TNT tossers aiming and firing. What it doesn't show is how to get that wonderful water, which I believe is this water shader. Everytime I've used that I end up with a black screen, so I hope it works for you.

There's a more descriptive video, showing how to load, aim and fire, as well as some background as to how the damn cannons work. Redstone is still basically magic to me, which would make these guys wizard pirates. Think about that.

Ask a dozen different people when the first battle royale emerged, and chances are, you'll get a dozen different answers. Some will say it was DayZ: Battle Royale, others will highlight earlier deathmatch games like Dyna Blaster. A true pedant could technically point to the use of "battel royal" to describe cockfights and fistfights in 17th century England - although even here, the jury seems to be out on whether the term originates from cockfighting or fistfighting. Now that's a chicken and egg situation.

It's a tricky thing to pin down, as there's plenty of debate over what constitutes a battle royale, with many of the rules overlapping with other game modes. If you take the strictest possible approach to tracing current-day popular battle royales to their roots, however, you'll probably land at Brendan "PlayerUnknown" Greene's mod for DayZ in 2013. Essentially a mod of a mod, DayZ: Battle Royale led to Daybreak's H1Z1 and Greene's standalone title PUBG, with the latter exploding in popularity and launching battle royales into the mainstream. Then, of course, came Fortnite: which recently celebrated reaching 350m registered players.

First emerging in early 2012, the Minecraft Survival Games (or "Hunger Games") was more of a community movement than a single title. Coinciding with an increase in Minecraft's popularity on YouTube, MSG has since been credited with helping start the Minecraft PvP server boom - and even launching entire companies. At its height, MSG pulled in thousands of players on third-party servers, and millions of views on YouTube. But perhaps most intriguing is the way the Minecraft community grappled with the challenges of designing a battle royale long before bigger studios tried their hand. Although some game balance issues were never truly resolved, the community came up with dozens of quirky solutions to the problems, with creators borrowing ideas from each other or splintering off to create wacky variations on the original MSG rules. A decentralised development process, if you will.

Subsequent battle royales may not have continued directly from MSG, yet it's still a fascinating branch of the battle royale tree that too often gets overlooked. And to those involved in MSG, it certainly left an important legacy.

While MSG eventually evolved into a sprawling collection of game modes within the Minecraft community, the phenomenon stemmed from the work of one mapmaking team. In March 2012, the first Hunger Games film was released, planting the idea of a 24-player battle to the death in one YouTuber's head.

"I saw [the film] early and understood that a concept like that could work in Minecraft," Dennis Vareide told me over email. "So after a week or so with building and planning we made the first map and I released it on my YouTube channel."

Vareide was already known for his fan-made Minecraft trailer (which was eventually used by Mojang as the official trailer), and his team of mapmakers - recruited from community forums - had grown to a healthy size by the time the Hunger Games was released. They were perfectly placed to convert the idea into a game mode, and while some early attempts created the look of a Hunger Games arena, Team Vareide constructed a fully-working map with online play in mind.

Some things were kept the same as the Hunger Games series; including the cap of 24 players, and the central Cornucopia where players would start and could find the best loot, creating a tense scramble for goodies. Team Vareide also spiced things up by dotting hidden chests, puzzles and traps around the map. The group even created a ruleset for players to follow, including limits on which blocks could be broken or placed, and how the host (basically a referee) could add more loot or enemies after the second day. For the name, the team simply switched "Hunger" with "Survival" to reflect the Survival mode in Minecraft. Little did they know, this format would lay the foundations for an entire game mode in the Minecraft community.

"When we first started playing the map ourselves for testing, I immediately understood that we were on to something - because it was really fun," Vareide added. "I did not [know] that it would almost become its own very dedicated community within Minecraft and everything that followed with it."

And take off it did, as Vareide's video immediately gained traction, accumulating nearly 200,000 views in two weeks. According to Vareide, the map soon became the most-downloaded PvP map on Planet Minecraft, a key website for map downloads at the time. Perhaps more importantly, Vareide's map became a phenomenon in the wider Minecraft YouTube community. Survival Games arrived on YouTube at an ideal time, coinciding with an algorithm change on 15th March 2012 that favoured Minecraft let's play videos (which were long, could be produced quickly, and kept viewers returning with an ongoing narrative). By May 2015, Minecraft had taken over YouTube to the extent that 14 videos on the YouTube homepage were Minecraft-related.

Yet the mode was a hit itself, with well-known names such as Nooch and Bajan Canadian recording matches in early April 2012, while Machinima and iHasCupQuake organised a tournament later that month with YouTubers like Paul Soares Jr and SeaNanners. CaptainSparklez's perspective alone was viewed 1.7m times in one month, and today sits at a tidy 11.5m views. The game mode's format also meant viewers could hop between channels to view each participant's view - making it an ideal way for viewers to find new Minecraft YouTubers.

"I knew there were going to be a lot of people looking up my perspective, because obviously I'd won the game," Taylor "AntVenom" Harris, winner of the legendary first iHasCupQuake match, told me over Discord. "I think [my] channel had maybe 200,000 subscribers at the time, and it really rocketed the channel."
