[draughtdooralt]

Hey CubeCrafters!

We're here to announce the release of an awesome BlockWars Quality of Life update! Read below for more.

BlockWars Side Tasks!

If you love playing BlockWars but want an extra challenge, then you're in luck. From today, BlockWars now has side tasks!

In every game, you will be given 3 randomly generated side tasks, tiered: Easy, Medium & Hard. Everyone has different side tasks. You can view them in the chat on join/start of the game, you'll also have a hotbar item to view them. If you complete them, you'll get rewards!

Along with side tasks and new maps, we've made many other QoL changes!

New Powerups!

There are two new powerups, Thorns and Slow Falling. Which will give all of your teammates and yourself either slow falling, or add thorns to your armour temporarily. Along with this, we've refreshed some of the looks of the existing powerups!

Slowing Falling Powerup​

Pit Skins Revamp!

One pet peeve we had in BlockWars Bridges, was the pit skins were all designed differently, inconsistent and you couldn't place blocks on the pit.

We've overhauled this! - Each pit skin has been recreated on a strict new template, making them all consistent. You can now place blocks on the edges of the pit, and the base of the pits is now animated!

New pit design/structure and block placement​

BlockWars Rank Refresh!

As mentioned above, Pit Skins have been overhauled! We've also changed existing flag skins, even ones not in the BlockWars Rank, giving them an up-to-date polish. The cages in the BlockWars Rank have also been snazzed up! - This means the BlockWars Rank has had a full refresh with newly designed pit skins, flag skins and cages!
