Gameplay

Most of the time this server acts a lot like the normal Battlegrounds SMP however it has several unique features and differences which separates it.

Seasonal model

The server uses a seasonal model with each season lasting approximately 4-5 weeks with one drop occurring per week on a Tuesday until the final week where the sudden death event starts. When a season ends the server is reset and the new season begins

Keep Inventory

The server uses a unique keep inventory system meaning you do drop your inventory if you were killed by another player (Note: Items are still lost of you die of other causes while you are combat tagged) For any death other than then these player will keep their inventory,

Loot drops

Loot drops (referred to as just drops) are item drops which 'fall' from the sky and contain valuable loot. They take a random time between 4 and 6 minutes after the event starts to be available to be looted. The drops location is announced at the start of the before mentioned time. Timings of all the drops are announced before the season starts in the Timetable

Sudden death

Sudden death is by far the most important event on the server as it marks the end of the season, the server reset and the winner of the season. Sudden death works a lot like a battle royal. When the event starts respawning is disabled for all players and the world border will start shrinking, it will continue shrinking over the course of half an hour until it reaches a diameter of 10 blocks. When there is 10 minutes remaining on the timer all teams will be disabled meaning there is no longer any protection against fighting your own team and even if a team does hold together for someone to win the game a fight between former team members must start because only one person can win a season. When the border finishes shrinking all alive players will be given the glowing effect until they die. The last player standing is the winner of sudden death and the season. The server then goes offline for reset and a new season launches.
