Block Wars

This page is a candidate for speedy deletion.

Block Wars is a Capture the Flag type of game, the main twist is that you can place blocks/traps and that it features several gamemodes.

## Gameplay

### Between Rounds

In between BlockWars rounds, you have a chance to both take a break from fighting and to vote on the next map (by /vote or clicking onto the map in the chat). Between rounds, you can choose your kits by typing /kit or clicking onto the iron sword in the hotbar. You can choose your trap, a block that can be activated when mine by an enemy and creates an effect on to that only person, as the green block in your hotbar too. However, you cannot select which team you want to be on unless you are a premium.

### Build Phase

During build phase, you will get 72 blocks of stained clay (having the same color as your team)a trap (green block), and a diamond pickaxe. These blocks would help you provide defense to protect your core/flag/jail. If you placed your trap block in a specific place, it well then change its color in fight phase as your team's color. You can still choose your kit with /kit in building phase. If you break a trap, it will go immediately to the owner's hotbar; it will not drop as an item.

### Fight Phase

During fight phase, your team must try to battle with the other team and try to win the game (by capturing the most flags, mining all or most of the core health, or have the most team kills in jail). In various moments, there would be a powerup (a nether star drop) spawned in a specific location or area (usually in the middle) of the map. Once the reach to the powerup, your team would get a effect such as extra health, faster speed, faster regeneration, or even powerful strength.

### Overtime

Overtime happens if both teams are tied in the game after fight phase. Overtime is an additional 2 minutes of the round except removes all of the stained clay blocks placed onto the map. This would make the round more challenging to defend when enemies try to invade your base. If overtime runs out, then it is therfore a tie game. You can still obtain blocks from various sources in overtime such as mining them during fight phase with Miner kit, using the Builder kit with an additional amount of 5 yellow stained clay blocks, or from mining a block in Lucky CTF and received extra blocks.

### Kits

*Main article: Block Wars Kits*

In BlockWars, there are various kits or classes to choose in the game. There is a total of 15 kits which include:

* Warrior
* Archer
* Runner
* Tank
* Miner
* Builder
* Alchemist
* Ninja
* Tortoise
* Bomber
* Jumper
* Iceman
* Ender
* Pyro
* Summoner

### Traps

In the minigame, there are green stained blocks called traps which can create on a negative effect on enemies who mined this block. It would then be disguised in fight phase if it is placed in building phase to have the enemy no clue what block he is mining. Traps are included as:

* Fire - sets victim on fire.
* Blindness - blinds the victim.
* Slowness - slows the victim.
* Damage - damages the victim.
* Poison - poisons the victim.
* Alarm - creates noise around the victim.

## Gamemodes

There are currently 4 gamemodes in BlockWars. These include CTF (Capture the flag), Jail, Core, and Lucky CTF (also known as Lucky Block Wars or Lucky Block Capture the flag).

### CTF

Capture the flag was the first gamemode introduced in BlockWars. Players must capture the opponents flag (marked by a wool of their team's color), then bring it back to their capture point (their flag) in order to score a point. Team with the most points wins.

### Jail

Jail was the second gamemode added into this game in May 16, 2014. The purpose is to kill all enemies in the opposing team and free your allies in the 'jail.' If a person is killed, he would then be spawned inside a big brown box also known as the jail on the enemy side. There are two jails on both of the teams base. To gain a point, a team must kill all enemies and mine the jail if any allies are in it. In overtime, everyone in the jail would be immediately spawned back to their own base and fight again. But the negative side of overtime is that you cannot be able to mine the jail or free your teammates.

### Core

Core was the third gamemode implemented in BlockWars in July 2, 2015. Gameplay is similar to CTF, except instead of capturing the flag, you have to break their core. Each team's core has 8 lives. Having a core broken takes a life. The first team to lose all their lives loses, or if the time limit is reached, the team with the most health wins. Overtime is only commenced when a core still has health after fight phase. If a core has lesser health than the other team's core or lost all lives, then the team of that core loses the round.

### Lucky CTF

Lucky Block Capture the flag was the fourth and latest gamemode that has been added onto this minigame in July 9 ,2015. Gameplay is identical to CTF, except that breaking a block has a chance to do something either good or bad (e.g. get thrown into the air, spawns TNT, etc.).
