​

Hey Snapcraft!

We are excited to announce the reset of the KitPvP server! This will take place on September 23rd, 2023. Do not worry, the fantastic LMS event will be taking place 1 hour before the official release! We are very excited to build upon the existing features, and also implement some more! We hope the community will take well to it.

We understand that there have been mixed feelings on the previous reset at the start, but we think the community slowly eased into them. We have taken the time to change some of the existing features to make Snapcraft more like it was before, whilst also being able to keep new content to entertain a variety of players. 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 September 23rd!

19:00 GMT / 14:00 EST / 13:00 CST / 12:00 PST

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 an old map which has been used on Snapcraft before! We know that this map is a fan favourite, and hope to welcome back some old faces with the introduction of it! We have kept the map 95% the same as it was when it was played previously. However, there are some small changes to help fit the KitPvP meta.​

​

The map of choice is… Four Seasons!​

​

​

New! Custom Armour Sets​

​

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

​

We have added 2 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:​

• Bandit
• Fortune
  

  
  We have removed the following custom armour sets:​

• Brutal
• Midas
• Ultimate

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!​

​

Updated! Custom Weapons​

​

Custom weapons are certainly something KitPvP needed, and brings some choice to players about what type of weapon they will use for their fights. We have decided to remove 2 of the original weapons, and then the two that were added in at the mid-season content update. In their place, 2 new weapons have been added. They will be available in all the places they were before, like: PvE, crates, envoys etc.​

​

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

Dagger- A custom sword which has a chance to drop XP upon killing a player​

Tomahawk - A custom axe which shreds through armour and hearts​

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

​

We have removed the following custom weapons from the game, for now:​

• Sabre (Sword).
• Scythe (Axe).
• Bloodlust (Sword).
• Bonefinder (Axe).

Jump into the KitPvP server and earn yourself one of the brand new weapons, and use it to take you and your team to victory!​

​

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?​

​

The overall reception on the ‘Loot Zombies’ feature has been positive, and provides players with something else to do whilst in the PvP Arena. They give great rewards for minimal effort. We have decided to take this a step further, by adding two new mobs into the game, both of which have the same loot table, they just look a bit different. They are also harder to kill than a regular loot zombie.​

These being:​

• Royal Guard (Zombie):
• Royal Paladin (Skeleton):

Their base health will be 60 hearts, so they are more durable, but the rewards are slightly better to go with this! You will be able to tell them apart with their unique nameplate for each mob!​

​

​

Updated! Pets​

​

Pets have been a controversial topic, but we think they are having a positive impact on the overall gameplay. We understand that some pets were too OP, and not working properly. We have spent some time looking over all the pets, and tried to decrease their overall effectiveness on the gameplay. We hope that by making the changes listed below, that this has been achieved. We have also removed 2 pets that were pretty useless, and replaced them with two new friends!​

​

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

• Spider Pet: Spawns a 2x2 of cobwebs in the area in which the player is looking. These last for 3 seconds before disappearing. This has a cooldown of 3 minutes
• Rabbit Pet: Gives the user Jump Boost 4 for 10 seconds. This has a cooldown of 2 minutes
  
  We have also made some changes to the existing pets:
• Elephant Pet: Removed.
• Squid Pet: Removed.
• Hellhound pet: The cage has been changed to glass, it is now 9x9 and only lasts for 3 seconds.
• Lion Pet: The bug has been fixed, and the use time has been decreased to 10 seconds.
• Bear Pet: Durability damage increased to 10%, for 15 seconds.
• Cow Pet: Decreased the cooldown to 30 seconds.
• Cheetah Pet: Enjoy speed 3 for 20 seconds upon use.
• Dragon Pet: The radius has been increased to 15 blocks.
• Cave Spider Pet: This is now the old Spider pet.

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!​

​

We have made some slight adjustments to existing items, and also implemented 2 new exciting items for players to experiment with!​

​

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

• Knockback 3 Rod: This item has changed from a ‘Snowball’ into the ‘Blaze Rod’, but has the same properties.
• Enchanted Enderpearl: Bypass the enderpearl cooldown when using an enchanted enderpearl! They stack up to 16, and you can throw as many as your heart desires.
• Stress Ball: A throwable snowball. When it lands, all members of your gang within the radius area will be granted with resistance 1, and strength 2.

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.​

​

Tools:​

• Shred (All Tools): A very small chance to deal 1.5x damage to the durability of armour
• Block (Swords): Makes blocking with your sword slightly more effective

Armour:​

• Scorching (All Armour): .Gives a chance for a player to be set on fire when they hit you
• Speedy (Boots): Gives a small chance to proc speed 3 for 3 seconds when hit

​

Please note: Pre-existing and new enchants are all available through the enchantment table, or by enchanting a book.​

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!​

​

​

Updated! PlayerLevels​

​

Player Levels are an exciting way to progress in KitPvP. With this reset, we have revamped the playerlevels, changing the majority of levels. We have also added some new challenges for players to complete, found our. Player Levels are simple, you complete tasks to level up, and you can showcase your progress in the chat.​

​

Premium Level Pass: For players who want to earn even more rewards for completing levels, we are introducing the Premium Level Pass. With this pass, players will be able to claim extra rewards for every level they complete. Additionally, every few levels will grant players a new level color, and with the Premium Level Pass, players will also be able to unlock different types of bracket colors.​

​

We have added an extra 10 levels for KitPvP, taking the total to 60 different levels, each with their unique tasks related to KitPvP. This system is designed to provide players with a new and engaging way to progress in the game, and we believe that it will make the overall experience even more enjoyable.​

​

​

New! Stronghold​

​

We are very excited for this new feature, it is one that has been requested for a while now and we cannot wait for our players to try it out! We feel as though this new feature will encourage PvP in a team-fight environment and will be well received by all members.​

​

What is it?​

This is essentially KOTH, but on a larger scale, and is a warp for players to go to rather than it happen in the arena. This is an event, and would take place every Saturday at 8pm (UK Time) to replace the existing KOTH. By doing /warp stronghold once the event starts, players are teleported to a new area, in which they battle to capture it, and rewards are given to the player that manages to remain inside the stronghold capture area for 10 minutes!​

​

When is it?​

The event will start at 20:00 BST, 21:00 CET, 15:00 EST / 14:00 CST / 13:00 PST. This will take place every Saturday, (excluding the day of the release). Meaning the first stronghold event will take place on the 30th of September.​

​

How can I get there?​

When the event starts, there will be an announcement in chat. You can do /warp stronghold to get there when you are ready. This will teleport you into the safezone at the stronghold, where you cannot be damaged. You will need to dropdown in the fighting arena before you can damage others, and take damage yourself. You will not be able to get back into the safezone after you have dropped down however.​

​

Can I go back there multiple times?​

We have decided to only allow access to /warp stronghold once per account. As /tpa and other teleport commands are disabled, this means you will get one chance per account to enter this area and fight with your team.​

However, you are allowed to run this command on alternate accounts and revisit the area if you so wish. We will remind players that there is an alt limit of 4 on your IP, (includes family and friends) so please do not bypass it. This includes bypassing with the use of a VPN.​

​

Please note: If you go back to /spawn, you will not be able to warp back to the stronghold. If you log out whilst in the stronghold arena, you will be teleported back to spawn and will not be able to enter. If you log out inside of the stronghold arena, and the event ends, you will also be teleported back to spawn.​

​

What are the rewards?​

The rewards are: 8 KOTH Keys, 40k and 350 gang points. This will go to the person that captures it. The keys will be added to /maildelivery and the money to your balance. The event will then end, and teleport all players back to spawn.​

​

​

New! Seasonal Lootcrate​

​

We would like to introduce the brand new lootcrate on KitPvP which will be here to stay for the entire season! This will be called the Autumn Lootcrate. This will host some player favourites from this map, as well as some new additions, like a playerlevel skip token!​

​

This will be available in the /goldshop from the start of the season for our players to buy! It will have a brand new animation too for the fancy side of things!​

​

​

New! Gang Points​

​

Currently the only way to get points is from KOTH, and killing players. This limits the options of our players. We want to provide players more variety to gather gang points, and encourage players to spend more time in the arena. You can see below some of the new ways that you can gather points on our KitPvP Gamemode!​

• 10 points: Per envoy
• 3 points: Getting an assist.
• 5 points: Killing a player.
• 1 point: PvE kill.
• 200 points: KOTH Capture.
• 350 points: Stronghold Capture.

We hope that this will enable a variety of players and gangs to compete for gang top for the payouts, by allowing players to also achieve a high points score from actively grinding inside of the PvP Arena. Whilst at the same time, giving a very high amount of points for players that win events like KOTH and Stronghold.​

​

Misc. Updates & Changes​

​

Multiple small changes have been made, some of these small changes are the following:​

• Playtimerewards have been changed slightly.
• Champion Kit has been buffed significantly
• Some prices in /shop have been decreased.
• Some crates have been adjusted for a more balanced economy.
