After a few months of bugs in the old HungerGames PVP system, we’ve changed over to KitPVP. It also brings a couple of new maps, one of them is available now! More on that in a second. The PVP area in the Minigames Lobby has undergone a bit of a change. To play PVP, enter the portal for the map you’d like to play on.

When you enter the world, you’ll be sent to one of the various spawn points in that map with two items in your inventory – a CHEST and a CLOCK. The chest allows you to select your kit, the clock gets you back to the Minigames Lobby.

There’s a big difference with this version of PVP – there’s no matches, rather each player just respawns back in on death. Take out a player to get points, which can eventually level you up. There’s also no upper limit for players in an arena!

If you don’t have a kit enabled, you can’t be hit, but please don’t use that as a way to avoid being killed – play fair! You can change your kits as many times as you like. The kits are pretty great – fun powers like lightning bolts, position swappers and more.

Lastly, some useful commands you will want to know:

• /kp clear will clear your current kit, allowing you to select a new one
• /kp stats will show your current stats

We’ll get some leaderboards available in the lobby area once we’ve had a few players get stuck in.

New Maps

The first map that’s available straight away is from one of our own – SidewaysPVP by Meowlicky! This is a really exciting take on a PVP map, with a huge chunk of world built completely sideways. There’s even a cave system! Meow has used some structure block trickery to make a horizontal waterfall, and it’s also the best way to get up to the higher areas of the map. This was so much fun to test out. Well done Meow! When you’re in this map, make sure you’ve got your shaders turned off, as it can get quite dark.

The other map is the 10Themes Arena, a modified version of one from online – thanks to someone called _Dibbo_. This world is slightly different as it’ll only be available once the LibraryCraft League comes back for 2024, and will be limited to two players, as a priority for League matches.

We’re still working on how PVP will work in the League, as this plugin makes it harder to determine winners, especially if other players are in the map at the same time. More to come on that!

As always with a new plugin, there’s sure to be tweaks and changes to come as we fine tune it, so please open a ticket in Discord or send a mail in game if you find something that might need fixing or tweaking and we’ll see what we can do!
