The Shards is a PvP map for Minecraft. You and your teammates find yourself fighting over the scarce resources of the shattered remnants of the earth. Plunder the floating islands, fight off the opposing team, set up your base and build sky bridges. Can you survive?
RULES
- There are two teams - BLUE and GREEN. The Blue team starts on the island with the blue and white flag, the Green team on the one with the green and black flag. You may invade any islands (even the opponent's ones). Use any resources as well as the contents of the chests found on the islands to your advantage.
- Each player has only one life (if you die, it's over for you).
- The game ends when one of the teams has no players alive (e. g. the goal is to kill off the opposing team).
- You may destroy or place any blocks.
SPAWN
- If you die, you will spawn back on the Control island. Do not join any of the teams. You can only be a spectator now.
RECOMMENDED
- Normal difficulty (or Easy) - the mobs are fairly difficult to deal with on this map
- 6-20 players
- Mobs on (both passive and aggresive)
- JohnSmith texture pack
- You can change any of the gamerules in the control room (located on Control island). The recommended options are already pre-set (you don't have to change anything to play the map the way it's supposed to be).
ISLANDS
- There are several islands for each team and a central island in the middle of the map. On each island there is a chest marked with a redstone torch. The islands are identical for both teams (including the contents of the chests). You can find things typical for the biomes of the islands on them (e. g. ocelot spawn eggs on the jungle island, nether warts on the Nether island etc.). There are no ores anywhere but on the mine island (the one behind the starting island of your team). All the ores are placed inside the mines and clearly visible. You do not have to dig randomly to get them. This is to prevent imbalance when one of the teams has more luck in finding the underground ores.
- You can trade with the villagers on the central island. Use your emeralds wisely. There are no diamonds on the map but you can get some diamond gear by means of trading.
- There is nothing but void beneath the islands. Don't fall down.
CHALLENGES
- Victors: Win a round. -> 5 points
- Ultimate Victors: Win a round without losing any team member (i. e. no one from your team may die). -> 10 points*
- Sabotage: Destroy enemy teamo s flag. -> 2 points
- A Thrifty Adventurer: Slay one or both iron golems on the central island to acquire iron. -> 1 point.
- Ito s a Trap!: Kill at least one enemy using a trap device. -> 3 points
- Pioneers of the Sky: Obtain the contents of all your chests (i. e. those on the side of your team plus one of the two redstone islands in the middle). -> 2 points
*Only counts as 10 points, the 5 points for Victors achievment is already included (i. e. you do not get 15 points).
Feel free to post any suggestions in the comments, I'd appreciate some feedback.
