I'm personally very fond of the changes made to the games. Mainly MinerWare and Lucky Blocks. Survival Games, my main game, hasn't changed much. Additionally, I think the lobby revamps and the new SkyWars lobby look AMAZING. Great work was provided by the Designers. Heck, the EggWars lobby somehow looks even more spacious despite being the same size!

The bugs I have found, I've already reported in the correct sub-forum (seeing as the bug reports channel on Discord is closed). I suggest anyone who is planning on sharing bugs they have found to NOT do so here. Instead, report them here with the same evidence.

I personally like it, the new maps, revamped maps and new items. But at the same time: i feel bad for the eggwars sweats.

The update is  MY favorite because of the use of new blocks, mechanics and everything added from the previous minecraft updates. The lobbies look amazing as well and im in love with the map revamps! As a blockwars ctf main, I can't really speak much about other gamemodes other than mine. so here:

The Bad Parts
-Although this was implemented almost a year ago, I hate how they changed the xp reward system. I don't believe xp should really depend on the time spent in the game. This is one of the changes that made most of the OG players of CTF stop playing the game. This also encourages stalling and hogging of the flag in order to gain more xp and that's is already punishable.

-The midgame queueing. With 1.19, it seems like it's kind of fixed but I'm certain that it's still a thing. This feature is not intended for the normal game of CTF and Bridges. I do see it as a thing for Giga BlockWars and believe it should stay there. A lot of threads and suggestions about this were open and we kind of let it go because we waited for this update to release and hope this would be reverted.

The Good Parts
I'm honestly happy with most changes done to it. The maps look so good with the different blocks used. There is so much going on and I love it. Now there were a few good things that this brought.

-They fixed map select for CTF. You can now choose maps immediately after the game ends and that was also one of the problems we had before

-The queueing got better. Games no longer take more than 5 mins to fill up and I love that. There is something buggy about the cage and flags but reports about that will be made.

-Parties are fixed ( I think ). I was able to queue with a friend and did not get split up.

There rest of the changes were really helpful and have been there before the update. Overall I love this update so much and cannot wait to try more of it. (Pulling all nighters even though I'll be having 8 a.m classes )

I've been playing since 2018 and do not like this new update at all. Eggwars is completely ruined, the new blocks don't work properly with my texture pack, and I want a refund for all the cosmetics/ranks I purchased as I probably won't be playing much on this server anymore.

I enjoy this update a lot tbh. As Nathie said, the new blocks and mechanics are amazing indeed. I haven't noticed any change in my frames like I've seen a few people complain about in the lobbies. :P

Since I main FFA and a little MinerWare, I'll just give my opinion on these 2 gamemodes.

FFA
I love the way the entire maps are loaded, it looks really nice and surprisingly doesn't kill my frames at all, if anything my frames have been pretty smooth now. However, this doesn't fix the "void" bug or chunks not loading, it's a bit more uncommon (from my experience, can't speak for other players) but when it does happen, it's just an invisible wall you can't walk through and users who can walk through it, look very buggy.

The knockback really isn't that bad, I believe I can get used it once I'm able to play on my own region (NA), it's a bit odd but it's definitely possible to adapt and have fun with it. The new kit is pretty interesting though, it's not bad but it's also not that good. I honestly think it could use a slight buff in protection, either a buff or the crits shouldn't do so much damage. Also, a silly bug where throwing the trident doesnt enable to combat timer :P

Overall, these changes to FFA have quite a bit of potential once the bugs are fixed and everything is running smoothly :D

MinerWare
Not much has changed in this gamemode, the new blocks are so much better. There was a few slight changes to some of the gamemodes which is pretty but fun but I wish there were more maps/designs, more of a suggestion than an opinion but it would be nice !!

Anywaysss, it seems like eggwars was mostly affected by this update, hopefully it will be improved so the majority can enjoy it again :D

I feel like this update is way to big. Cubecraft should try smaller, more frequent updates. They could have had one update for switching versions, a performance/sentinel update following it, an update that added new features, and an update for map changes. Right now, playing cubecraft for me feels like a fever dream.

Keep in mind this update is currently in public beta testing and is not officially released yet. Hopefully, the staff team make the necessary changes to improve the update before it officially releases.

The update was actually released onto the main network earlier today.

But the fact that changes can still be made is indeed true. Feel free to read this thread.

 

[JingusTheRingus]

big change…Lots of bugs. I need to get used to it.

 

[small bob 294]

In my opinion eggwars was completely destroyed from the inside out. People take way too much damage, regen is way too fast (it's java regen now which I do not prefer), items are bought in odd amounts (concrete being 32 and gapples being 8 among other things), concrete replaced terracotta for no reason, random things being way overpriced (leather armor and steak), and the whole emerald system is super odd. I think changing all of these shop prices and amounts were taking the changes too far, as it takes away everything that used to define eggwars. So my opinion on the update is that it is currently a mess but could be great if cubecraft would go back and change some of these numbers back to what they used to be, as 1.20 has a lot of potential for cubecraft.

It was released I thought? The old one is gone

 

[HoppyFrog]

Overall it's pretty good. It will take a while to get used to and there will probably have to be a few changes, but I think this is actually a pretty decent update
