Warlords - New Achievements, Maps, Prestige and More!
Hey everyone!
We have just released an update for Warlords that includes new achievements, quests, maps, prestige and more! Over the past 2 months we have been working together with the player council and the Warlords community on several Quality of Life Updates for Warlords. Similar to other Quality of Life updates we have done, we presented a roadmap to the Warlords community to show our plan and to keep everyone up to date on our progress at each stage. Today's update includes all the remaining stages apart from new specializations (more information about that can be found below).

Capture The Wool - New Prototype Game Live Now!
Hello everyone!
Today we are releasing a new game in the Prototype Lobby - Capture The Wool!
Capture the Wool gamemodes are very popular and fun games in the Minecraft community and we wanted to make our own version of the mode, we really hope you'll enjoy it!
▶The Game
If you are not familiar with Capture the Wool modes, they are very intense team PvP games where a player of either team has to steal a Wool from the enemy side and bring it back to their own base in order to capture it.
Each team defends 2 different Wools located on each side of their base.
Those Wool Houses are protected areas where only enemy team members can enter. There, they can find the Wool Fountain and grab as many Wools as they want. But now comes the hard part, making it back to base!
▶Kits and Shopkeeper
During the game, players can earn gold by killing the other team and capturing wools. Gold can be used to purchase Kits and items, which are lost on death.
Kits and Shopkeepers are located in front of the base.
Whether you like to rush the enemy Wool, defend yours or brawl, those options are available during the game. Strategize and fight your way to victory!
▶Play with your friends!
Upon clicking on the lobby NPC in the Prototype lobby, we show you every game where your friends are playing so you can join them!
Capture The Wool games are ongoing. Players will most of the time be joining games already in progress and everyone in that game will automatically be queued into another game when it ends.
Developer Note [ Why ongoing games?
CTW games can be short, but they can also be very long. From experience, we know that team games can be ruined when too many players leave during that game, having players join at all times makes all games fair until the end.
Also in CTW, games are never over. Any team can clutch a victory! So even if you join late, the fate of the game is still in your hands!]
Please give us your feedback! Over the next few weeks, we will try our best to improve this gamemode with the help of the community.
Have fun and good luck!
