Skywars Map Update
Skywars: Map Update
Hey guys! mooTV here.
SkyWars is one of our most popular games and we thought it could do with a little more content. To that end, we've come up with some awesome map additions.
Here's what you're getting.
1. New Mega Map: Aqueduct
2. New Solo/Team Map: Tribal
This map looks a little more traditional until you get to the inner ring that orbits mid. The ring has tendrils of vines that connect it to the centre island. This gives players late to mid a chance to use ranged attacks to stop players stocking up on gear at the centre.
3. New Solo/Team Map: SkyChurch
4. New Solo/Team Map: Jinzhou
We hope you guys enjoy these new maps. We'll do our best to keep the content coming.
For now... ENJOY!
Game Stats Released!
If you're anything like me then getting 5 kills (or just a kill) in SkyWars is a big deal. So of course when that happens you want to remember that game forever - and now you can! At the end of games, we'll send you a link to a page that summarizes the game. Tweet it, bookmark it or just hang it on the fridge!
For initial release this feature is currently only available in Mega Walls, Blitz SG, SkyWars, UHC and Quakecraft. It will be expanded to other games in the coming days.

Housing has Launched!
That's right, housing has now left closed beta! Every single-player now has their own personal space where they can hang out, build a home, invite friends and lots and lots of other cool stuff!
How do I get into my house / other peoples houses?
Simply visit the Housing NPC that's in each main lobby or join via the compass!
I want to learn more about housing!
Please check out instructions covered in our previous newsposts Closed Beta Launch, Update Number 1 and Update Number 2
What is Open-Beta?
We still expect a few bugs during open beta as we let everyone into their houses, we will remove the Open-Beta tag in a few days
While in open beta, it is still possible for us to reboot houses without warning!
How do I get things like Blocks and Themes?
You get these simply by opening Mystery Boxes, which you can get at any time just by playing on our server!
Special Youtube Features!
If you have the youtube rank on Hypixel, you will find you have some special abilities
- House Passwording - Make it so only true fans that know the password can join
- 5 Exclusive Housing Themes - Pool Party, Disco, Auditorium and 2 Prebuilt Houses
- Repulsor Gadget - Automatically teleport or knock back players that are interfering with your recording by getting too close to your face.
- Increased Player Limit - Expecting a few guests? Youtubers can have up to 250 players in their house at one time. (We expect to increase to 1,000 once we are happy with stability!)
- Build-Anywhere - Do you have a special idea for housing? Like a cool social event? Contact @noxywoxy on twitter and we can give out this feature for special cases!
These remain our two highest priorities for new features, but are very complex. Please look forward to them in a future update!
Mega Walls Update - Practice Mode, Hunter, Pirate, Squid, and more!
We added 3 new classes
- The Squid Class is centered around healing, a lot of healing!
- The Hunter (Hero Class) - a class with random elements, you never know what will happen!
- The Pirate (Hero Class): Yo-ho-ho! Explode your enemies with flying parrots, arrr!
Practice Mode
- Designed for new players to get into the game.
- Everyone plays a level 1 class (no health boost for prestige owners).
- Everyone spawns with a practice kit instead of the class kit.
- You don’t lose hunger (you don’t find food in chests), therefore Deathmatch has a shrinking border, similar to UHC.
- You will see tips in the form of holograms on certain places. (Can be turned off in the shop)
- You can join alone or in a party with a friend (maximum: parties of 2).
- There will be simple maps, to help newer players to understand the basic structure of the map.
- Iron ore drops Iron ingots to make it easier to gather Iron, some gathering talents may not work in Practice mode.
We added 2 new maps to regular MW, and Practice Mode has a unique map
Sign Board
Mega Walls now has 3 modes, so we've updated the Mega Walls sign board to a Skywars style map rotator.
This change means we WILL be adding more maps to Practice Mode and Faceoff Mode in a future update.
