[UHC] May the Rays Forever Be Gone
Let it be said once, and let it be said again. That's right, no more xraying in UHC. (Granted the title is misleading.) With some recent changes to some fancy technology, we've been able to make some very great improvements to our anti-xray techniques. Just to give you an example, first, I will show you what you will see while playing games of UHC.
This is what the good old xrayers will see.
So, let the justice reign.

UHC Champions
Today we have released a new game to the network - UHC Champions! This genre is a staple to Hardcore Minecraft PvP players. Just like always, it’s got a ton of cool stuff to make it stand out from the crowd. The highlights are below
111 Player Games
UHC Champions features 111 players split into teams of three battling it out to be the last group standing.
Shrinking World Border
As the game progresses, the world border visibly shrinks, forcing teams closer to the center and to each other.
Deathmatch
After a period of time, all remaining players are ported to a DM arena to prevent games being too long because of camping. Inside the arena, there is a world border that shrinks down to a tiny amount.
No waiting for games
Thanks to some new technology - you should never have to wait for games or be restricted from entering them, unlike many other UHC servers.
Custom Crafting
UHC has over 30 custom crafting recipes like the Seven-league boots and the Dragon sword among many others!
Titles
This game features a prototype of a new system - game based titles! In the pregame area and the main game lobby you will see Stars under players names - those stars show the earned titles for the game. Check the signs in the lobby for more info!
Confused by all the above?
Want to know more info indepth on the game? Check out this community guide.
Important Note
Due to the Ultra Competitive nature of the game we don’t recommend it for newer players! Also, this game is 1.8 only due to required usage of world borders!
Holiday Updates
We are pleased to announce during the holidays we still plan to release older games such as Mega walls, Quakecraft and other games that did not yet receive an update. Sorry for the lateness of those, but be please be aware that the majority of the UHC development team was not assigned to those other updates.
Final Note
We hope you enjoy this new game mode, we wanted to time the release to be exactly when most of you guys got off for school Holidays, so enjoy! Feel free to tell us if you like the game at the UHC forums.
Report bugs on the forums as always!
Blitz Survival Games Update: Art of Balance
The long awaited balance patch for Blitz Survival Games is finally here! Remember that any balance patch comes with a dash of experimentation, and all things change over time. If you have specific feedback you’d like to give on kits and changes we recommend checking out the new Blitz Survival Games Forum here.
Balance Changes
This update features Balance update 3.2, please view the following link for a full list of changes.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pVnUJJ0gnIkfxmzjPYFAkexcLlT7wS1VFVVauGVBPlU/edit#gid=0 . Our balance Policy is as always to change based on data and opinions that we observe on the new changes before going with another balance patch, but rest assured. This remains an ongoing process.
New Kits
Pigman: Tag team with your very own pig henchman, careful though - or the Pig will outrun you and you’ll be separated.
Hunter: Combine Speed Potions and Archery to chase down your prey, before closing in for the kill with your sword.
New Map: Pixelville
This new map sports a new design style and approach. It’s a 32 player map that is made to make it easy for players to find each other while playing but also at the same time offer many more areas to explore than the average Blitz map.
Bug Fixes and General Balance
We’ve fixed the bug in the new Deathmatch arenas that sometimes caused fall damage after teleporting.
To prevent exploits, you can’t place a cake on top of another cake anymore.
Reduced regen on Holy Warrior Blitz Star powerup.
Future Updates
The focus on the next major updates will be on finishing up the “coming soon” features in the shop, balancing and adding the deathmatch system to older maps with more possible arenas.
We hope you enjoy the the changes and the new map! You can help us balance the game and give suggestions here: http://hypixel.net/forums/blitz-survival-games.72/
