Hello CubeCrafters!

We're ready to finally present our newest experimental update, EggWars Season 1. Read about it below!

Seasons

Introducing our new system for EggWars, Seasons. Every 3 months we'll release a new season showcasing new features, each season will host it's own set of new features & changes which are automatically slated for removal unless the community votes otherwise. This will allow us to trial some new and wacky ideas in EggWars!

In 1.5 months expect a thread where you can all vote and give feedback on the individual features of the update.

Each season will also have it's very own leaderboard which will only show stats obtained during the seasonal period. This will be permanently etched into the leaderboard section even after the season finishes- so whoever holds the top spot of season 1 after it finishes will keep it!

Egg Curses

Our very first feature of Season 1. You can buy curses for your egg which will enact effects on the enemy who gets in their vicinity, giving you an opportunity to protect your egg. Choose your curse wisely based on your island defence setup!

Choose from the following curses: glowing (JE only), slowness, blindness, mining fatigue.

​

Redstone Shop Category

One of the topics we had lots and lots of community discussion on was whether redstone fit into EggWars. A perfect feature to trial in the new seasonal system! What will you do with it?

The redstone category includes the following items: repeater, pistons, oak pressure pad, string, slime blocks, redstone, redstone block, dispenser, observer, tripwire hook, lever.

​

Generator Downgrader

Introducing generator sludge, a new item in the miscellaneous section, this allows you to lower the level of any generator by one. However a generator cannot be downgraded below its starting level and can only be done every 20 seconds. A strategic team can do some serious damage with this!

Undo Purchase

An amazing QoL feature- which was way harder to develop than you think! You can now undo any purchase made in the last 15 seconds which will return your tokens to you in full, this won't work if the item has been used.

EggWars Rank Update

Kawaii Plant Pot - Generator

Cupcake & Plush - Egg Skins

Bakery - Shop Skin

​

Additionally we've added 3 new egg break messages; rammed, cooked & kicked.

Miscellaneous

One of the features we had in the beta EggWars UI shop was that icon backgrounds would be green or red depending on whether you could afford it or not. This will now happen in the current shop without all the UI changes.

We've added 7 achievements to Java for the new features as well, so get them before they're gone.

We've also buffed the Baker kit to give more substantial food items.

How bad is obsidian with mining fatigue? Won’t it be too good? It seems this update leans towards stationary defensive play styles except the generator sabotage.

Yeah pretty cool until you realize obsidian with mining fatigue is busted. If I bought that, I would have enough time to wipe out everyone else even if someone with a diamond pick was camping my island the whole time to break the obsidian. I don't like how this update encourages camping and before this update (a few months ago) I played a game of squads that took an hour and a half due to camping and now it's worse. Definitely won't be playing eggwars anymore I'll go on mineplex and play cakewars instead.
