​

Hey Snapcraft!

We are excited to announce the reset of the KitPvP server! This will take place on July 15th, 2023, with the well-loved LMS event taking place before the official release! This season introduces new and exclusive features never seen on Snapcraft KitPvP before. We hope the community takes well to them.

We understand that the simplicity of Snapcraft KitPvP is what makes the gamemode so loveable. However, content wise we feel like it is lacking, and falling behind the curve compared to other servers and gamemodes. With the fresh reset, we have brought in brand new features for players to sink their teeth into and explore!

We believe that the changes we have implemented will enhance your Snapcraft experience. For a more comprehensive overview of all the changes we have made, please read on.

We look forward to seeing you all online on the newly updated KitPvP server on July 15th!

Please note: The release time can be a couple of minutes later, we are trying to reach 9 PM CET.

Changelog​

​

The following are the most important features/modifications implemented toward this season's map and functions.​

​

New! Map​

​

For this season of KitPvP, we will be using a new map! This has never been used throughout the history of Snapcraft, and we hope that everyone will thoroughly enjoy playing on it. This map has new challenges and features for our players to explore. So why not jump into the arena and slay your foes! ​

​

This map was originally made by an old Admin, ‘wowoow’. We would like to take a moment to thank her for making the core of the map which will be used this season. It truly is an amazing map and we are very excited for our players to experience it. We’d also like to thank the amazing staff team for making the appropriate changes to it, based on the new features and demand!​

​

The map of choice is… Mushroom Island!​

​

​

New! Custom Armour Sets​

​

More combinations, possibilities and methods to dominate your opponents in the arena! ​

​

We have added 6 brand new custom armour sets to the KitPvP gamemode. Each giving you that slight edge over your opponent. Each piece has its own unique bonuses, and wearing an entire set from the same collection will grant a further bonus. Due to the nature of KitPvP, and having to swap sets, we thought it would be beneficial if each piece had its own effects too, rather than needing the entire suit.​

​

This gives you so much variety when choosing what sets you will wear to be the King or Queen of the arena. The following armour sets have been added:​

• Brutal
• Dragonscale
• Fisherman
• Marauder
• Midas
• Archangel

We feel as though giving players more variety with their armour will have a positive effect on KitPvP and enhance your overall experience. We will not spoil what each piece and set does! Make sure to hop in-game and discover for yourselves!​

​

​

New! Custom Weapons​

​

Just using a normal sword is, boring… luckily we have implemented four brand new weapons for players to get their hands on and start swinging! ​

​

These brand new weapons will be crucial in winning the fight for gang top, and securing your place as number 1!​

​

The following custom weapons have been added, with a sneak peak of what they do:​

• Scythe - A custom hoe which gives a higher chance to behead your enemy.
• Cleaver- A custom axe which deals more damage to enemies holding a sword
• Blade- A custom sword which deals more damage to enemies holding an axe.
• Sabre- A custom sword which shreds the armour of the enemy.

This is not an exhaustive list of bonuses, you will need to load into our brand new KitPvP Gamemode to see them all!​

​

​

New! PvE​

​

Take a break from killing other players, and focus your efforts on fighting some friendly mobs! They will not attack you, but you still slaughter them. Sounds perfect, right? ​

​

These mobs have been added to a variety of locations throughout the map, and their spawn locations are indicated by the red carpets on the ground. They will spawn every minute and have their own unique loot table. There are a variety of fantastic rewards to obtain just from killing mobs. It is one of the main ways to obtain the new custom armour sets, weapons, pets and special items.​

​

This addition is outside the box of what is normally on a KitPvP server. However, that is not a bad thing! We feel like this addition will be beneficial. and will give you a reason to be active inside the PvP arena. This will then encourage bigger, active fights between rivals. Make sure your gang finds all the spawn locations and dominates these cave areas!​

​

​

New! AFK pool​

Who doesn’t love free rewards?! We certainly do! Take a bath inside our new afk pool and be rewarded with an AFK Lootbox!​

​

With our new AFK Pool, players can be away from the game, and still earn some basic rewards. All you have to do is place your character inside of the fountain which can be found at spawn. Every 60 minutes, (1 hour) you will be rewarded with an AFK Lootbox for free! This lootbox is home to some fantastic rewards which cannot be missed!​

​

Need to hop out at 59 minutes for a fight that is brewing? Go for it! The time which you have spent inside the afk pool is not forgotten, and will roll over when you get back in.​

​

It’s more the merrier inside our new AFK pool, so do not miss out on these free rewards! ​

​

New! Pets​

There is nothing better than having a cuddly and adorable pet in your inventory whilst playing on our KitPvP server! These adorable companions not only serve as loyal friends but also bestow unique and powerful bonuses upon their owners. ​

​

Some pets may enhance a player's combat skills, granting increased attack damage or defence, while others might possess specialised abilities such as enhanced movement speed or power within a water environment. ​

​

You can see all the new pets below, and a basic summary of what they do:​

• Hellhound: Spawns a mystical cage around your location.
• Elephant: Get some extra absorption hearts.
• Bear: Deal more durability damage to enemies.
• Cheetah: Grants speed 3.
• Squid: Deal more physical and durability damage when in water.
• Lion: Grants strength 2.
• Cow: Restores all hunger.

​

The introduction of pets into KitPvP has undoubtedly expanded the possibilities for your loadout! Make sure to find the new ‘God Loadout’ by launching the new Snapcraft KitPvP!​

​

New! Special Items​

​

There is more?! Yes, we have also implemented some special items for all our players to get their hands on. There is no need to be anywhere else, apart from glued to your chair playing Snapcraft KitPvP this summer!​

​

These bonuses may range from increased attack damage to enhanced speed for your entire gang. Remove those annoying debuffs, or send your enemies back to the shadow realm with the knockback snowball.​

​

You can see all the new special items below, and a basic summary of what they do:​

• Knockback 3 Snowball: A snowball enchanted with knockback 3.
• Strength 2 Powder: A blaze powder which can grant strength 2.
• Speed 3 Sugar: Sugar which will give speed 3 to your entire gang.
• Debufff remover: Removes all existing debuffs currently on you.

​

The implementation of special items has added depth and complexity to KitPvP, elevating the gameplay experience to new heights. Use them wisely, if you want. ​

​

New! Enchants​

​

You will be like a kid in a candy store wanting all these brand new enchants! But, don’t worry, they’re all very simple to understand and use.​

The custom enchants make KitPvP an exciting gamemode for players, being able to experiment with enchantments which are not possible in regular Minecraft. Thankfully, we have taken the time to think of and craft new enchantments for our players to use when fighting. They all grant minor buffs, which will give you that slight advantage over your opponents. ​

​

You can view all the new enchantments below, and what they do.​

​

• Hungry (All Tools): Chance to restore some food on hit. Max level = 3.
• Thor (All Tools): Chance to strike the enemy with lightning on hit. Max level = 3.

​

​

We cannot wait to see you in-game to try these new enchants for yourselves, to see the difference they can make in a fight!​

New! Rule​

​

Boo! Everyone hates rules, but unfortunately, they are required to make KitPvP run smoothly. We are implementing a rule which has been added before, but with little success. We hope, with some more explanation and outlining the circumstances, it can have a positive effect on the gamemode.​

​

The new rule is as follows: ​

Cross-teaming with players who are not in your gang, or are not your gangs ally is disallowed when in a 'gfight' setting. Ironing is allowed, but please follow the rules listed in the Discord post. There can be an unlimited number of irons during a fight and they do not need to be in your gang, or ally.​

​

You can find more information about this rule by looking at our #Updates section on Discord. We will be constantly reviewing and evaluating this rule to see if it has the desired effects. We will make the relevant changes, or completely remove it if necessary by listening to the feedback of our community.​

Return! Stat-Track Token​

​

With this reset of KitPvP, we would like to welcome back an oldie but goodie, stat-track tokens! These allow players to keep tabs on their total kills in the game, and see who their last victim was!​

​

To apply, simply pick up the token, and click it on the lucky tool! With a quick glance, players can proudly display their kill count, showcasing their experience and dedication to the game.​

​

These tokens can be found in crates, by clicking the mobs, or from the /goldshop! With so many ways to acquire the returning stat-track token, make sure to get yours today!​
