Disclaimer: This was originally called Shulker Wars, but after doing some thinking, Shulker Rush fits better as a name, and will be less confusing to newer players, as some could mistake it for another version of BedWars. Plus, its more fitting for the fast paced nature of this game.
What is Shulker Rush?
Think of it as a unique twist to Wool Wars on MunchyMC. Your goal is to be the last player standing while deadly water rises up and other players are out to kill you. You can find loot in Shulker Boxes hidden around the map and you can only break player-placed blocks. On one of the three large islands in the center, there is a Shulker that you can kill to get the best loot in the game (Which of the large islands it spawns on depends on the height of the water). Keep in mind that unlike the Mystery Chest in SkyWars, these guys fight back. Above you, there are islands scattered throughout the map. Some (Not all) of these islands contain Shulker Boxes. The higher up you are, the better the loot you find in Shulker Boxes. Each game can last up to 10 minutes. When only 2 minutes are left, the water will stop rising and the remaining players will have to duke it out. Each player starts out with dyed leather armor, a stone sword, an iron pickaxe, 64 andesite, and a tracking compass. Players will have 30 seconds to get ready before water rises and pvp is enabled. Once a player dies, they will drop a death box, similar to the death crates in SkyWars. We will be getting into the loot players can find nextā¦

You mightāve noticed two mysterious items known as the Shulker Core and the Shulker Shield thereā¦ what do they do? Letās find outā¦
What do the Shulker Core and Shulker Shield do?
Shulker Core
The Shulker Core is an item that commonly drops from a Shulker Boss. Basically, when you use the shulker core, you will summon a shulker bullet that flies in one direction, similar to a ghast fireball. If it lands, players in a radius of 3 will be send in the air and take 3 hearts of damage. However, a counter to this item, much like with a normal shulker bullet, will be to hit it.
Shulker Shield
This item, like the Shulker Core, is an item that exclusively drops from a Shulker Boss. However, unlike the last item, the Shulker Shield is a defense item. Meaning it will give the user a ring of circling shulker shells that protect them from taking damage give them slight knockback resistance. However, they can be negated by being hit 4 times in quick succession or dying out after 8 seconds.
Overall, I feel that these items would add a nice new twist to the game to make it feel fresh. On top of that, they will give players an incentive to go after Shulker Bosses. But, how many players are there in this game?

Map Ideas
These are ideas for potential maps that could be added to Shulker Rushā¦
Chamber
A map with bright grassy islands inside of a giant testing chamber as the name implies.
Spring
This map is similar to Chamber, but it isnāt inside of a lab or āTesting Chamberā as its name implies. Instead, it has a bunch of flowers and its inside of wooden walls with some leaves and vines.
Reef
This map is made up of islands made of endstone and sandstone with coral sticking out and walls made of blue, light-blue, and cyan glass.
Keep
This is an underground map that looks similar to a mineshaft with islands made of stone with ores scattered to make it look more unique.
Highway
Think of it as Cityscape from Treasure Wars, but ported over to Shulker Rush.
Hot Sands
This is a map that consists of islands made of red sand and red sandstone along with andesite and cobblestone Mixed in.
Temple
This would have a similar look to the map āRelicā from Death Run, but ported over to Shulker Wars.
Forge
As the name implies, this map takes place inside a forge. Lots of machinery can be found hereā¦
Room
As the name implies, this map takes place inside of a room full of enlarged objects. It has a resemblance of the map āShrunkā from the old Battle minigame on the Legacy Console Editions.
Also, I made a post showing what the general layout of each map would look like ā See this reply ā
Custom Server Options
If this game were to make it in The Hive, I would like it to come with its own custom server options too. Here are some ideas I haveā¦
Available Options
- Loot Distribution (0.0x-5.0x) (Similar to SG)
- Loot Box Spawn-rates (Spawn-rates for Common, Uncommon, and Rare boxes) (Customizable for each height [Low, Mid, High]) (1-16)
- Health on Kill (0-20) (Similar to SkyWars)
- Max Health (1-40) (Similar to SkyWars and SG)
- Water Rising Rate (0.0x-2.0x)
- Shulker Boss Spawn-rate (0.0x-2.0x)
- Grace Period (On/Off) (1-60 second duration)
- Build Limit (On/Off) (1-Max map height)
- Force Map
- Loot Toggles (Weapon Loot, Bow Loot, Armor Loot, Block Loot, Boombox Loot, Special Loot) (On/Off) (1-16 chance)
- Starting Items (Enable/Disable)
Summary
I feel that this would be a fun and unique game to introduce to The Hive. It would definitely add more variety for PvPers and it would be an extremely fun take on Wool Wars. What do you think? Is this a good idea or not? If yes, feel free to vote! If not, wellā¦ ummā¦ donāt vote.
