Server Spotlight: MineZ LMS!

Hi guys!

Mario here with the 2nd of a double Server Spotlight!

So, you may have heard of MineZ before. In case you haven't, MineZ is a Minecraft remake of the popular DayZ mod for ArmA II. In MineZ, you walk around a gargantuan map searching for the best supplies possible in order to fight the Zombie Giants in the Giantlands.

LMS stands for Last Man Standing, and is a brand-new gamemode for MineZ. In this gamemode, a max of 45 players go into one big map in which they have a "fight or flight" situation, in which they may fight with Wood Swords at the spawn to take other survivors' stuff, or quickly branch out to the towns in the map to seek better items.

As usual in MineZ, you have to drink in order to not die from dehydration. However, there's a twist; the only water source is in the centre of the map. That means players must keep collection water from the centre in order to keep hydrated. And don't think you can find water in chests either: the clever guys at MineZ made it so Water Bottles don't spawn in chests around the map.



This may sound like Hunger Games, but there's a difference; you wanna camp? Go play softcore Hunger Games! If you even TRY to camp your hydration level with decrease, so you will eventually die of dehydration via camping.

Eventually, the PvP will get very harsh, players who team fighting each other for the best loot. However, remember, if you kill someone, they become an undead corpse and you will have to kill the zombie before you can retrieve their loot! Chests still spawn random loot, PLUS the Hunger Games twist is still there; sometimes you'll lack a specific item, sometimes you won't find anything, and sometimes you'll get everything you dream of having in LMS.



As the game progresses, the match will go through 3 phases and a sort of 'Final Phase':

  • Phase 1: Everything is normal
  • Phase 2: Hydration level decreases faster
  • Phase 3: Hydration level decreases really fast
  • "Final Phase": Eventually, you lack hydration so much you are camping around spawn for water whilst fighting off other thirsty players.
One of the awesome things about MineZ is that they have LOADS of perks for players to buy. I think I'm correct in saying you can only equip one perk per tier at a time, and here's all the current tiers/perks:

Tier 1

  • Kamikaze - Drop TNT on death
  • Second Wind - Respawn with 1 heart and Slowness after death
  • Grenadier - Spawn with 1 grenade at start of game
  • Well Equipped - Spawn with a Chainmail Chestplate at start of game
  • Zed Hunter - 50% more melee/bow damage to zombies
  • Scavenger - Spawn with 2 wheat and 1 cocoa beans at start of game

Tier 2
  • Runner - Spawn with Speed at start of game
  • Fletcher - Spawn with Arrows at start of game
  • Alchemist - Spawn with a Health Potion at start of game
  • Blacksmith - Weapon durability is doubled
  • Mr White - Spawn with 2 sugar at start of game
  • Arrow to the Knee - 5% chance to inflict Slowness with a Bow

Tier 3
  • Demoralizer - 5% chance to give a player Weakness on hit
  • Necromancer - Snowballs spawn zombies on hit
  • Killstreak - Gain 2 hearts after killing a player
  • Adrenaline Junky - Inflict more damage to players/zombies per nearby zombies
  • Carpenter - Spawn with a Bow at start of game
  • Hulk - Spawn with 2 glowstone at start of game
That's just about it, now for the IP's:
