Town Hall

The **Town** **Hall** is the main hub of the Block Battles Server. It holds many important locations and areas, all of which are vital to the structure of the game. Below is a list of all of the areas you can find in the Town Hall.

## Features

### Play Menu

This is where players are able to start a Block Battles match. As of **Season 4**, there are 2 Game Modes: Normal Mode, and Rush Mode.

#### Normal Mode

This is the standard Block Battles gameplay style, and is the one that most players are familiar with. Players have around 1 minute to place Blocks, Counters, Walls, Warps, and more to beat the opponent.

#### Rush Mode

This was introduced very recently in **Season 4**. This gives players only 20 seconds to finish the match, making for a much faster gameplay style. Due to the need for fast reaction times, strategizing on the spot, knowing counters quickly, and a general heightened understanding of the game, this Game Mode is usually played more by Higher Elo players.

### Stat Viewer

This is where players are able to see their general statistics. Different stats that can be found here are:

* Username
* Display Name
* Current Rank
* Rank Division
* Elo Points
* Win and Lose Statistics
* Server Placement
* Elo Rating Score

### Loadout Builder

This is where players are able to choose their Loadout of Blocks and Items that they will use during matches. There are 2 sections, the Deck and the Chest.

#### Deck

Also referred to by some players as the **Inventory**, this is where you choose what blocks you will be able to use during matches. It has only 9 slots, so choose carefully. Things like Warps and other Structures which take multiple blocks to make, can take up a lot of space. This is why you should only use Structures that you know you are going to use in a match.

#### Chest

Also referred to by some players as the **Storage**, this is where you keep the blocks that you are not currently using. It has 27 slots for various items. Certain Blocks like the Enderchest or the Armor Stand allow you to take items directly from your Chest during the match, and use them on your turn. Its important to test and experiment with various Blocks and Strategies, swapping them out in your Deck and Chest to see which ones match your playstyle.

### Clan Center

This is where players are able to join various Clans. Some clans can only be joined after meeting certain requirements, such as reaching a certain rank.

### Shop District

There are 2 sections to the Shop District; the Rank Shops, and the Trading Station.

#### Rank Shops

By completing Quests and winning matches, you are able to buy Blocks and Items by cashing in enough Win Points. Each Rank has their own Rank Shops, which can sell different types of blocks, depending on your Rank. The Higher the Rank you are, the more items become available. Some blocks, like the Orange Stained Glass Wall, Lectern, Diamond Block, and Amethyst Crystal, are fully locked to Lower Ranks, and are only obtainable once you reach a high enough Elo.

#### Trading Station

Above the shop is where you can find the Trading Station. This is where players are allowed to trade Blocks and Items with others. This is a great way to obtain more rarer blocks that take a lot of Grinding, or even items and blocks from Events. Although there has been a problem with Scamming recently with the Trading Station.

### Training Room

Given the fact that you can be disqualified by misplacing too many blocks when creating things like Walls or Warps, it can be extremely helpful to go to the training room.

The Training Room is a place where you can practice placing blocks and perfect your skills in creating things like Warps or Walls. It can be beneficial to train block placement here as it is common for players to lose games in completely winning positions, due to block misplacement. Especially in the lower ranks.

### Hall of Fame

The Hall of Fame is where players are able to gather and look at the Leaderboards for various stats such as Most Wins, Most Consecutive Wins, Amount of Warps Placed, and more.

The most well-known aspect of the Hall of Fame is that it is where you can find the Seasonal Tournament Winner's names permanently marked in a specific chamber. The current list of End Season Champions are Rick for **Season 2**, and One Flick for **Season 3**.

### Block Mines

One of the ways you can gain blocks in Block Battles is in the Block Mines. This is where you are able to grind for and find blocks such as the Purple Block, and others. It requires a bit of luck trying to mine for good blocks in the cave networks, but its a decent strategy to passively grind without having to win a ton of games, and saving up Win Points.

### Event Chamber

During certain times of the year, the Devs will start Events. The Event Chamber is where you are able to see all the latest information about the Event. Things that can be found here can include the Name of the Event, list of Event Quests in which you can gain Event Points, any Minigames that are related to the event and that can be played to gain points, the Rewards that can be gained at the end, the amount of points needed to gain said rewards, and a Leaderboard showing who has the most progress in the event.

## Trivia

* Although the generally assumed time limit is 1 minute in Normal Mode, its often very rare to see players lose on time, as its only really common in the Lower Ranks.
* Every End Season Champion so far has had a name that ends in the suffix -ick.
