v0.10.11 - Major Overhaul
PVP mini-game
Kill the floating Squid to win.
Double Jumps! Instant Walls! Teleporter! Rockets to send opponents flying!
Battle mid-air with your friends!
- Use wool to tower, or trade for a Booster!
- Floating platforms with custom items! Get items on deaths 3, 6, 9 and 12, but reaching 12 is bad.
- Craft survival gear to give yourself an edge!
3+ players recommended.
Detailed BLOCKOUT info:
Best as a free-for-all. Games last ~10 minutes.
Essential Mechanics:
Arrows become infinite Safety Arrows (healing arrows) - meant for pushing players, not killing.
Trade for a Booster by throwing a full stack of any colour wool from your inventory.
Players glow when their next death will give everyone items.

Teleporter
Has a purple glow. Players begin rounds facing it.
Walking into the Teleporter will teleport you to the floating Exit Portal.
The Exit Portal frequently moves to the player nearest to Squib. It can't get within 12 blocks of Squib.
Teleporting briefly gives slow falling. The Boosted player will also get a burst of levitation.

Healing Arrows (Safety Arrows)
Players start with a bow, but no arrows. Normal arrows become infinite Healing Arrows in the form of a Safety Arrow.
You can pickup Safety Arrows, but they won't be infinite.
The Bow is used to push players or heal.
Chickens that drop feathers (and also scaffolding) are guaranteed to spawn.
Squib will dispense arrows on hit, if you have none.

Misc.
The HOW TO PLAY book can start rounds or show the chat menu.
Read it for info, or in chat, click 'Blockout!' for an in-game summary of Blockout.
Beds are banned. They cause players to spawn outside the world border.
Some items (like glass bottles) are cleared or /killed to avoid clutter.
Squib only moves on the y-axis when hooked by a fishing rod - that's Minecraft physics at work. (its a feature of Blockout and totally not a bug)

source: never played it.
It will detect that the glow squid is dead, sending the message in chat 'Squib has met it's end' but not say who won. I'm working on this detection, but it isn't reliable enough for me to add it to the game yet.
Thanks for playing!
very well made
Highly recommend this to anyone who's looking for a new Minecraft game to play with some friends.
Tis a blast.
