Heya there an average The Hive enjoyer here
When i was writing something about the skywars play area an idea struck to me
This gamemode i would like to call pillar wars
So this gamemode is basically inspired by The Layers(a post that is made by LightKnight5742)
About the gamemode:
So this gamemode can be a fast and slow paced gamemode it depends.
The gamemode is filled with 30 players and a kill area that gets higher and higher.
The kill area deals 2 hearts of damage per seconds(this might sound a little bit too op so tell me what you think about the kill area dmg)
How does the gamemode work?
Well basically you will spawn with 2 stacks of wool a wooden axe and a jump boost potion(15 seconds)
So the 1 stacks of wool is for you to pillar up
Now you see why the kill area goes up
there will be a 15 second grace period so the players just dont go stab people for kills early game
Now lets talk about how we get more blocks to build up
Now basically the way you can buy blocks,weapons,armor,and potions is with the soul shop
So basically you buy weapons,potions,and blocks with souls/kills.This prevents campers from winning the game
if there is only 4 people left in the game a Deathmatch will happen in 1 minute
How does the Deathmatch work?
Basically the kill area will go up 1 block every 0.5 seconds
Now lets talk about the shops system
Note:you will start with 1 free block token when you start the game
so souls can be converted into tokens
What are tokens for well they are for buying stuff BUT there is still more into it
Now tokens can be converted into block token,weapon token,potion token,and an armor token
what they do is they let you buy a specific thing from a shop example:1 block token can buy you lets say 32 blocks of wool
you can sell items to for a block,weapon,and potion token
here are how many tokens you need to spend on items
32 blocks of wool = 1 block of token
wooden sword = 1 weapon token
stone sword = 2 weapon tokens
iron sword = 3 weapon tokens
diamond sword = 4 weapon tokens
splash potion of healing = 2 potion token
splash potion of jump boost = 2 potion token
splash potion of regeneration = 2 potion token
full chain armor = 10 armor tokens
full iron armor = 15 armor tokens
full diamond armor = 20 armor tokens
You might feel getting ripped of with the price because there is only 30 people in the game and you are probably gonna get 1-6 kills per game but dont you worry i have a solution
ISLANDS what does islands do?
They have a chest containing a 1-5 tokens that you can convert to other tokens
Islands also have ores that if you mine will give you 2 tokens
1 Island has an average of 5-9 token ores
and yeah thats the game make a platform if someone drops down to you.leap up 3 times to get back to your pillar. the way to win this if someone is dropping on you AND if you know he is actually going to drop down make a platform quickly
(let me know what i should improve or nerf on this gamemode that i thinked off)
