We will also be releasing a new SkyBlock gamemode called OPSKYBLOCK.

Over the next few days will be updating the wiki for Factions and SkyBlock to provide full game information and details for the reset but here's a quick change-log of what's new for the resets!

FACTIONS

• New spawns and themes/names
  • Spoiler: Factions Mars --> Factions Time

    
  • Spoiler: Factions Apollo --> Factions Nature

    
  • Spoiler: OPFactions Zeus --> OPFactions Dream

    [*]
    [*]

  • Entities no longer spawn outside the border
  • You can no longer claim outside the worldborder
  • Nether warp added - /warp nether
  • No nether ceiling in nether
• Heroic Items
  • This is a new concept that encourages players to race around the map during SOTW and unlock AWESOME new items. When the server resets on December 1st, there will be 9 enderchests scattered around the worlds (main, end and moon) (3 in each world) containing new Heroic Items! These are super OP items that you can take advantage of such as Burst 2 (5x5 mining pickaxe), Protection 6 Armor and more!
  • Holding these items will give you the ultimate advantage however, players will be able to track the location of Heroic Items with the command /heroicitems even if they are hidden away in chests or the player is offline.
  • This will encourage others to hunt...

Since releasing our new Minigames HUB, it’s time to beef it up with some new games for you all to play. The MineHeroes team are proud to present Memory Build! The objective of this minigame is to replicate as accurately as possible from memory a small build shown to you before time runs out. You can play the game by joining the minigames lobby and selecting the NPC or type /server mb from any server on the network.


Summary

Thanks to @AJHandler for the development of this project.

Up to 12 players will be shown the same build on their 7x7x7 plot and have 10 seconds to view the build. When viewing time is over the build disappears, and the players have 40 seconds to rebuild what they saw. Players will be given the exact number of blocks/materials. When the timer runs out, all players will be switched to Spectator mode. Then, Gerald the Ghast will scan all builds and the player's score as a percentage will appear. The player with the lowest % accuracy will be shot by Gerald, exploding their build and knocking them out the game.

Memory Build contains 30 rounds. The rounds progress as follows,

• Round 1-5: Easiest difficulty builds to replicate.
• Round 6-14: Medium difficulty builds to replicate.
• Round 15-30: Hardest difficulty of builds to replicate.

Should all the players replicate the build perfectly, Gerald will be impressed, and nobody will be eliminated that round. The last player alive wins the game!

Maps

A big thankyou to @TeamFractal for producing these awesome maps, aswell as the hundreds of small builds needed for this game to run.
