Are the egg wars maps updated? When I go to select Cyber snow it’s not one of the options. None of the snow maps are. Is it just not updated yet?Hello CubeCrafters!
Whilst we're still working very hard on our Party Event & 1.19 Update, we still want to bring you guys some seasonal feels! - Our Winter event is now live on our Java & Bedrock networks. Read below to learn more!
Snowman Survival Returns!
We're bringing back this Winter classic after high demand. Currently available on our Java & Bedrock networks. Will you be able to survive the Snowman?
As a Snowman, you have to throw your snowball. Left or right-clicking gives you a quick throw, with a predefined amount of force. If your throw hits a survivor, they will be converted into a snowman. HOWEVER as a Snowman you only get ONE snowball, so use it wisely! If you miss, you'll have to run and fetch the Snowball by walking over it, or wait 5 seconds and it will come back to you automatically.

When playing as a survivor, after 30 seconds of being released, you will notice there are powerups scattered around the arena which help you run, leap and teleport away from the Snowmen. Some powerups also allow Survivors to stun and gravity explodes the Snowmen, as well as trick them with decoy survivors.

The Starting Snowman has the ability to track players with a compass. If the Snowmen don't convert all the Survivors before the timer ends, they will explode and lose!
If you're wondering how stats work in Snowman Survival, that's simple! You collect Medals. At the end of the game, both of the Snowmen and Survivors can earn "Snowman Survival Medals". You'll get medals for the following actions:
- Every 30 seconds you are alive as a Survivor
- Converting a Survivor into a Snowman as a Snowman
- Stunning a Snowman as a Survivor
- Staying alive as a Survivor the whole gameAs many of you know, Colony Control was our other popular Winter game from 2020 and 2021. Sadly this year we were not able to release it for our 2020 Winter event. This is due to our development resources being fully focused on our 1.19 Update.
Now some of you are probably wondering "Why was Snowman Survival able to come back but Colony Control wasn't?". This is because Snowman Survival is a much more simple game from a tech point of view. As some of you know, most of our games have been converted into our new game framework, so Snowman Survival needed to be converted before being released. Colony Control is a much bigger game on the tech side, meaning converting it to our new game framework would have taken a lot of time and resources, taking away from our 1.19 update and increasing the release date further.
We understand that our recent seasonal updates have been simple, with no headhunts or no/missing seasonal games. But as mentioned above, this is purely due to a resource allocation decision. We of course still wanted you guys to have an awesome Winter event on our network, so we still pulled out all of the stops to make sure we could offer you at least some content to play and have fun on. But we still need to be aware of our main goals, which are updating and refreshing our network as well as releasing our 1.19 Update.
