NEW GAME - Carving Chaos!

We're super excited to announce our new Halloween minigame, Carving Chaos, available on both Java and Bedrock! In this fast-paced arcade game, you need to quickly replicate a pumpkin face that is given in front of you. Fly up and down to replicate the pumpkin and be the player who replicates the most amount of pumpkins in 3 minutes!

​

The pumpkins are split into three tiers - tier 1, tier 2 and tier 3!
Tier 1 pumpkins only require you to break blocks, tier 2 pumpkins requires you to break and place blocks, and tier 3 pumpkins require you to break and place an assorted palette of blocks!
Thanks to our entire staff team who helped us create 169 pumpkins for you guys to recreate!

The spooky season has joined our main lobbies! Dead trees and pumpkins scattering the landscape. Explore the vast areas of our creepy lobby and discover secrets and whaaaaaat... PUMPKINS?

Hope everyone enjoys this update and gives Carving Chaos a chance! @Palombo has worked really hard to make sure Carving Chaos is as enjoyable as possible for all of our players - creating a game for both Java and Bedrock is a great feat!

As for reasoning why Ender was not being released this year, we decided that it was less than ideal in the state that it was in - it didn't really have much replayability as players would play 3-4 games and get used to the jumpscares, then the game becomes less enjoyable.

We did discuss this amongst the product team - Ender is something we thought of at the beginning with some extra features, however, its current state was less than ideal to continue as it was very resource-intensive, both for our developers and designers. Carving Chaos is a great replacement though - it's an awesome arcade game, and I've had a blast testing with staff and creators! Hope you guys understand our reasoning behind this, and I'd be happy to answer any more questions regarding this.

Awesome work @Palombo , @RDev_ and the design team for this update! It's a great collaborative effort

Omw joining the server...

What a spooktacular update, I love the new gamemode Carving Chaos. I hope everyone enjoys this scary season. :>

same with pumpkin patters?

Everything looks great except the new game, I tried it out and it was kinda boring. Really wish we could have seen Ender. I though maybe the community could have at least given some opinion on Ender before it was cancelled forever. If I had known I would have played it a whole lot more last year.

The Halloween maps look amazing! :D

 

[SlinkyGnu05604]

Awesome update! Was it intended that the new maps were taken during day instead of night? Also is Haunted for SkyWars duos in the map rotation? I spent more than half an hour and couldn’t find it

 

[Technosword]

You’ve done an amazing job, carving chaos is very well put together and I can’t wait to be addicted for the next month. Proud of everyone on the team!

 

[Younisco]

same with pumpkin patters?

Not necessarily. The same game with the same sort of strategies being played versus 169 pumpkins with endless possibilities are completely different in my opinion. :)

It's not necessarily gone forever - the future is very very exciting for us, and we have lots and lots of plans for the future for expanding the server. Who knows what it may entail?

 

[Thomasje2121]

I love the update and can't wait to play the maps again, but I'm still sad to see ender go. I was looking forward to playing it again.

Not what Cam said, but I hope you are right!

@Younisco About the issue with Ender. Wouldn't it quell the concerns of those who enjoy ender to set it as the Halloween game for a week or there abouts? The new game doesn't appear to have much replay value as is so removing 1/4 of it's duration this year somewhere in the latter half of the month would make the most people happy.
Seeing as you stated that people get bored of it quickly, a week shouldn't be too long for players to get tired of it, but those who love it get a chance to play for a non negligible amount of time.

Unless there are development issues that prevent this, I don't see the need to disappoint a large crowd when everyone can be happy.

This is definitely an issue - we'd need to put time into supporting Ender with the newer versions of Minecraft, as well as adding features so that the game doesn't grow stale, who knows how long that would take? It's this uncertainty that we simply do not see any proper payoff.
Carving Chaos, on the other hand, is a game that was a short arcade-game project that @Palombo could work on, learning the complexities of creating a game with our infrastructure, while creating a fresh game that hasn't been on our server for several years with little changes.

[UncleSpect]
