Murder Mystery v0.3 is live! New maps, features + more
A new patch has been released for Murder Mystery adding 2 new maps with new features plus other fixes and balance changes, available to test now in the Prototype Lobby. For information on what changes are included, check out the details below.
For more details on the Prototype Lobby, visit the Introduction thread.
▶ New Maps
Hypixel World
Library
▶ General Updates
The Murderer also now receives a bow at 10 gold. Previously the Murderer couldn't receive a bow, so if a player was holding a bow they were confirmed innocent. This is no longer the case - the Murderer can get a bow and blend with innocents. Watch out for those betrayals!
Thanks to members of the Murder Mystery subforum for feedback which resulted in changes like "Dead Chat" and Detective name color change.
▶ Bug Fixes
We hope you enjoy all these new changes - the 2 new maps are some very inventive work from members of our Build Team! We have 2 more new maps in production, plus a few other nifty features for MM v0.4 which we will start work on soon

▶ Map Changes

▶ New Maps
▶ General Updates
General Features
- Join game NPCs have been added in the lobby
- Game stats page has been added
- Confirmations for the shop have been added
- Players now drop the bomb if they do not move once the round has begun
- Players now have customizable prefixes in the lobby
- Wallsbangs have been improved so damage is reduced based upon the block type and number of blocks a bullet has passed through
- You can now use the /resource command ingame to receive the resource pack
- Defusal mode now shows the final score at the end of the game
- Decoy grenades now have random delays
- Fall damage re-enabled but at a reduced rate
- Buying a gun that you don't already have drops any gun that occupies the slot to make space
- Smoke bombs now put out fire
New Mode: Challenge Mode
A party of 8-16 players can pick their favorite mode and map through the NPC in the lobby and play a private match of Cops Vs. Crims. This replaced the previous command /pchallenge and features several improvements.
Notable Features:
- Everyone has to select a team, if you don't choose a team you'll be put as a spectator, teams cannot be empty
- Coins, statistics, achievements, quests, challenges and karma are disabled
- Cost reduction, starting money upgrades disabled
- Starting money tweaked for overtime
- Defusal: if you die you're frozen at the place where you died, money cap decreased, more rounds + tiebreaker (randomly chosen 1v1)
Quests Changes
- TDM Daily: From 30 kills -> 300 points
- Weekly: From 200 kills -> 100 Defusal kills and 2000 TDM points
▶ Gameplay Changes
Gun Balancing
- Pistol: Range increased very slightly.
Although it is a free gun, the pistol is extremely weak from a medium to long range, even for headshots. Increasing the range a tiny bit would mean less headshots are needed to kill a player in some scenarios. - Magnum: Range increased, damage to head armor increased slightly. TDM points per kill increased from 14 to 16.
For a price of $700, there is not much that separates it from a regular pistol. By buffing the magnum's range, we hope to make it distinct from the pistol, and a possible buy option in Defusal when your team's economy is low. - Shotgun: Tighter bullet spread.
This is due to many complaints of the shotgun being useless because of its large bullet spread. - SMG: TDM points per kill increased from 12 to 14.
The SMG is often overpowered by a rifle or carbine. Increasing its point gain in TDM would give it a more proportional reward. - Rifle: Range decreased, damage to head armor decreased very slightly.
Due to its long range capability, players with a maxed out rifle damage upgrade can kill with one headshot from about 59 blocks away. We felt this is heavily unbalanced when compared to the M4, which has a higher cost price. - Carbine: TDM points per kill increased from 7 to 9.
Given that the rifle can kill in one headshot in TDM and the carbine cannot, it seemed ridiculous for the carbine to have a 30% less point gain. - Sniper: Will be able to one-shot a player without body armor, scope to be made more user-friendly.
There have been many complaints about the sniper which state that it is not a viable gun for its hefty cost. We hope that this change will make snipers more useful, and give more reason to purchase body armor.
TDM Changes
- Sniper challenge will require 3 kills instead of 2.
- 'Bounty Hunter' character upgrade will only affect Defusal (and not TDM).
- Selecting a weapon requires you to reload it before you can use it
Defusal Changes
- 2 -> 3 coins per kill
- 3 -> 5 coins per bomb plant/defuse
- 3 -> 5 coins per round win
- 10 -> 15 coins per game win
- Particles added near bomb
- Mid-join coin bonus halved
- Thicker smoke
- Decreased height of fire slightly
- Sniper scope improved
▶ Bug Fixes
- Fixed broken/visible nametags when relogging or joining a game mid-game
- Removed sound spam when walking through fire
- When you pick up weapons they now have the same ammo as when they were dropped
- Improved sniper scope to be more consistent (activate by sneaking)

Duels Update v0.3 now live in the PTL!
A new patch has been released for Duels, available to test now in the Prototype Lobby. For information on what changes are included, check out the details below.
▶ New Map
We added a new map for the new 4v4 Duels modes featuring a larger area to fight on. Let us know what you think!
▶ General Updates
▶ 5 New Modes
Five new modes have been added to Duels, including a new kit and a bunch of team modes, the new modes are:
MegaWalls Duels - Solo, Double and Teams:
The new MegaWalls duels mode allows you to 1v1, 2v2 or 4v4 any player with any maxed MegaWalls class. You can use all of the class abilities and get all of the classes items.
Developer Comments: We have ported over MegaWalls mode into a solo or team duel, and have maxed all of the class abilities and kit items. Currently you can only use the primary abilities (not alternate) and no stats gained in MegaWalls duels will effect your actual MegaWalls stats. As all of the kits don't provide armor and weapons, we have added a base kit which you can see below.
You can now play UHC Duels as a team of 2 in UHC Doubles or a team of 4 in UHC Teams. The kit items are the same and the layout can be edited in the Layout Editor for UHC Duels.

Mega Walls Update is live! - Bug fixes, new features and more!
Here's some great news for Mega Walls fans! A new patch with lots of bug fixes, new additions and balance changes just rolled out - ready for you to play!
▶ General Changes
Log Regeneration (Normal Mode)
Blood Particles
Double Energy "Bug"
This has been an issue due to Minecraft's combat system since the very beginning. Under certain circumstances you are able to damage a player while he's invincible, which gives the player Energy Per Hit once again.
We enabled support to modify the energy give in this circumstance. You will now get half of your normal Energy Per Hit whenever this situation occurs, so don't be surprised when you suddenly have 30 Energy as an Enderman, for example!
This is an experimental change and there will be a thread in the Mega Walls subforum to vote if you want to keep it, have its values adjusted or remove it again.
Class Kit Items
▶ Class Balancing
The class balancing already took place, but here you get an overview of what had been done!
Discussions take place here: https://hypixel.net/threads/balance-patches-associated-with-the-future-of-mega-walls.1020379/

▶ General Changes
Log Regeneration (Normal Mode)
During the preparation time in Normal mode broken logs will regenerate shortly after if there is no player nearby. This allows most players to gather the amount of wood they want / need, independently from the map!
Blood Particles
The blood particles you could already see in the shop are now implemented 
The /blood command now opens the menu to select which blood effect you want to see when someone takes damage in Mega Walls!

Class Kit Items
Most class kit items will have the Unbreakable tag and Unbreaking enchantment - so they never break and they are glowing so you can differentiate them from crafted items! A big thanks to @GermanWizard for spending his time to help do these changes, let us know if we missed any items
Note: This does not apply to the pickaxe you can buy in the shop.
