Server Spotlight: MCPVP Hunger Games!

Hi guys!

Mario here with a redo of a Server Spotlight I did a while back!

It's an MCPvP server, called the Hunger Games! However, don't be fooled by the title, it's nothing like your average Hunger Games, where you spawn in a circle, find items and kill people. It's a lot different to that!

You spawn in a non-PvP mode, and you'll have the option between over 70 classes, which is insane! There are 3 classes you can play as for free, which change every 2 weeks. The other classes cost $2.50 each, and I'll come onto donating later. You can choose any class you own, and then you will spawn as that class. The classes at time of posting are:

• Archer - Spawns with a Bow and 10 Arrows
• Array - Spawns with 3 Beacons which, when placed down, automatically set to Regen II, healing anyone around you
• Assassin - The compass will point towards a target and you won't have to update it by right-clicking on it. Right-click the compass to change target.
• Backpacker - You spawn with a Chest in your inventory which, when double-clicked on, opens 54 inventory slots for you to store stuff in.
• Barbarian - You start the game with a level up sword, which becomes stronger when you use it!
• Beastmaster - You start the game with 3 Wolf Eggs, 4 Bones and a 100% chance to tame a wolf with 1 bone.
• Berserker - When you kill someone, your bloodlust gives you Strength and Confusion.
• Boxer - Fists do almost as much damage as a Stone Sword and incoming damage is decreased slightly.
• Burrower - Create your own panic room in an instant
• Cannibal - Damaging someone gives you Hunger back, and gives them Hunger.

• Chemist - Start the game with one Instant Damage II, Poison II and Weakness II splash potions
• Cookie Monster - Use your cookies to heal up, restore hunger or receive a Speed effect.

• Grandpa - You start the game with a Knockback II Stick.
• Gravedigger - Players you kill drop their items into their coffin (a Chest).
• Hades - You can tame hostile mobs by right-clicking on them with your Iron Ingot (Note: must be the Iron Ingot you spawned with, it won't work with another ingot). Create a mob army!
• Hermit - When the game starts, you are teleported close to the border of the map.
• Hunter - Killing pigs always yields 2 Cooked Porkchops.

Well, that's all the classes at time of posting, with more being added soon! When the game begins, you'll spawn as your corresponding class and you'll be in a normal Survival world with 50-100 other players. Start by getting some base weapons and tools together and then go mining for iron. Mining Diamond Ore does NOT drop Diamonds, and the only way to get diamonds is from NPC Villages (Blacksmith) or to use the Salvager class and turn a Diamond Sword/Armor into Diamonds again.

After 2 minutes of invincibility, the killing begins! Will you be the hunter or be the hunted? Some classes are Support roles, some are Defensive PvP roles and others are Aggressive PvP roles (I'll do some kit videos soon and that'll categorize them). Support classes, such as Cultivator or Fletcher, provide the team with good gear in order for them to fight off enemies. Defensive PvP roles, such as Berserker or Turtle, allow players to fight yet not get a massive PvP boost. Aggressive PvP roles, such as Urgal or Viper, allow you to go all in, 'souping' away whilst killing enemies.

Now, onto the Souping System! One of the most unique parts of the MCPvP servers is that Mushroom Soup has been recoded. Slurping your soup will heal hearts, and once you're at full health it heals hunger. This means that players have invented the art of Souping. This is where you go into a PvP fight, and slurp soup in order to heal whilst in the fight. One technique known as 'Quickdropping' is where the player quickly drinks a bowl of Soup, throws the empty Bowl on the ground and then grab out your Sword and continue PvPing. This requires fast fingers!

After a while, the coordinates of the Feast will be announced! The Feast provides high-tier equipment for the player that they couldn't get anywhere else, like Diamond Gear, Potions, Presents and Enchantment Tables. Getting to the Feast first can give you a major advantage over your opponents!

There will sometimes be Mini-Feasts, where there isn't as much provided, but there is still some good gear there, like food and weapons.

Well, that's about it for this server, unless you like hearing THE LAST GUY STANDING WINS!! Thanks for reading, videos will be coming REAL soon (I just need some time to put one together now, I have the video recording software now :D).
