Block Wars Origins Season 12

The winners of Season 12.

**Block Wars Origins Season 12** (previously known as **Block Wars Season 12**) is the twelfth canon event, and the thirteenth event overall. It took place at 10:00 AM EST on July 9, 2022.

An unofficial transcript of the event was made by u/MrOrcaDood on Reddit, which can be found here.

## Changes

The following changes were made since Season 11:

* New items were introduced in the Decision Donut, including the Catnip item, which lures other spawned cats towards you.
* In Battle, a team spawn-point randomization feature was added. A wither effect was also added to "Sudden Death". There were also some kit adjustments.
* In Extraction, the amount of arrows was increased to 5 arrows, and you can no longer pick up arrows which have been fired.
* Spleef's decay speed was tweaked, with each layer beginning to decay on 5 second intervals.
* Move received scoring changes to better reward higher finishing players. The launch pads were also removed, as some players had issues with them. The bridging segment of the game was made smaller, and ice boating was made longer.
* Construction received a gameplay overhaul. A delay between builds was added so players could strategize better, and scoring was also changed to focus on how fast each team completed each build, instead of which team finished first. The building arena was also made slightly bigger.
* In Party, Rod Game was removed, decreasing the game pool size to 4 games. Crossfire's fire was replaced with magma blocks to help with bitrate and sketchy eliminations, Skybolt's timer was decreased, and Beep Test received a smoother difficulty curve.
* Hunt got a new map, being a remastered version of All-Stars' laboratory map. Players render distance is increased, and changes were made to the timed events.
* In the hub, text was added to easier differentiate between last game and individual scores, minigames were added to the Wolfeei World attraction, the pride NPC was relocated to the stalls area, and a memorial was erected in the hub in honor of Technoblade following his passing.
