    Almost four years ago, MegaCraft 1.0 launched. We were nothing but a small semi-vanilla survival server in a world where the largest servers struggled to hold more than a hundred players. We had a small but tight-nit community. Fun was had and we learned a lot, but that style of server has long since had its time.

    Two years ago, MegaCraft tried its hand at a new age survival server dubbed MegaCraft 2.0, which to much dismay, failed terribly. However something happened that I never expected. Our new Creative server, which was revamped in late 2013, began pulling in a lot more people. We had something special in the Creative server, something that others failed at. While other Creative servers sought to capitalize on the 'WorldEdit revolution," we stuck to our community roots and continued to offer the best experience we possibly could. Our players noticed that commitment and have allowed us to grow into the much more mature server we are today.

    Now, we are about to take the next step. It's been over two years since MegaCraft's last massive update and the time has come for us to embrace a new style of Minecraft gameplay: Minigames.

    Some of our older players may remember this: https://mc-mega.com/forum/threads/megagames-arcade-server-open-for-public-beta.1692/. What I am announcing today is far different than a small Arcade server with simple games. No my friends, this is far bigger...

    Introducing... MegaCraftGames!

    MegaCraftGames is a fully fledged Minigames network featuring a custom-designed game framework to allow for hundreds of concurrently running game servers and tons of brand new and unique features.

    At launch, we will have 8 super-awesome games!
    SkyWars
    The Minecraft community's favorite PvP gamemode. Start on your own island, gather resources, and invade your opponent's islands. Work your way to the center island for some additional OP gear. Strategy and planning is very important though, as your battling in a free-for-all against 11 other players! Survive the longest and be the last man standing to win!
    Craft Royale
    A MegaCraftGames exclusive game based on the hit mobile game Clash Royale. That's right, we managed to remake the insanely addictive Clash Royale game inside of Minecraft! Strategically play cards to summon mobs and buildings to fight off your enemy in this addictive 1v1 gamemode. Battle to take your enemies forts to earn Diamonds. Either take your opponent's Keep or collect the most Diamonds before the end of the game to win! Featuring custom deck creation from 19+ playable cards. More cards being added constantly!
    Gladiators
    Another MegaCraftGames exclusive! Battle against your friends in this match-based, tournament-style PvP showdown. Equipped with knockback sticks, your objective is to knock your opponent off the platform while you fight to stay firmly planted. Watch out though! As time progresses, the platform begins to fall apart, so make sure you finish them off quickly! Win matches to move forward in the bracket to reach the final arena. Win against the other two players in the finals to secure your victory!
    Build Battle
    A game that will likely be very popular among those who love MegaCraft's Creative server, Build Battle puts your building skills to the test against others players! Given a random theme, you have 5 minutes to design the best possible plot to fit that style. Once time is up everyone gets the chance to review the things people built. Earn points from your fellow builders' reviews for detail, style, and for correctly matching the theme! The player with the best score wins!
    Hide and Seek
    Do you have what it takes to blend in to the world around you? Are you a true ninja? Hide and Seek is a battle to outsmart the Seekers by disguising yourselves as Minecraft blocks and hiding among the beautifully crafted maps built by our very own Dyatrian Build Team. Hiders must outlast the Seekers, who are desperately searching to find out which blocks are fake and which ones are real! Seekers win by killing all the Hiders, while the Hiders win after successfully staying undetected for a certain amount of time!
    Blitz Build
    Another fun gamemode likely to be popular amongst the Creative fans, BlitzBuild is both a test of building skill and memory! After being shown a build for a short amount of time, you must recall it and be able to recreate it as fast as possible. Points are awarded for speed and accuracy. Score the highest over 5 rounds to be crowned the victor!
    Paintball
    Players are split into two teams and must fight tot he death in this fast-paced, team deathmatch FPS style game. Hurl snowballs at the enemy team to rack up kills and earn killstreak rewards and perks. Grab 100 kills amongst your team members to win!
    Survival Games
    The original Minecraft minigame. Battle against 15 other players in this arena-based PvP deathmatch. Fight for gear in the center early on or run off to explore and discover the secrets hidden in these massive maps. Try and survive as long as possible to be crowned victorious. Watch out however, hiding is not always the best strategy. When time gets slim, a deathmatch will bring the remaining players back to the center for one last brawl.

    However, a Minigames network is far from complete with just games. In order to maximize fun and enjoyment, we have developed some great new features.
    Here are a few of our favorites
    Epic Lobby Features and Cosmetics
    Playing games allows you to unlock mystery chest (Mega Chests, see below) that contain various fun and addictive lobby cosmetics. Impress your friends and show off how awesome you are with tons of unlockable hats, suits, particle effects, gadgets, and more. Those who have supported MegaCraft or are planning on purchasing shop ranks in the future will be happy to hear than many of the cosmetic features come pre-unlocked for them along with some epic exclusive ones like pets, mounts, and morphs!
    A Friends List System
    Always keep track of when your friends are playing and what games they are on. Adding friends is easy and you will be notified when they log in!
    Parties
    The easiest way to play games with your friends. Add people to a party to allow the leader to select games and bring the entire party into a game automatically. Also enjoy features like a seperate party-chat channel!
    Mega Chests
    These mystery chests can be found in various ways. They can be found after playing games, where there is a random chance of you receiving one when you return to the lobby. However, they can also be found IN game! In certain gamemodes like Paintball and SkyWars, Mega Chests can drop during the game! Scramble to claim these rare chests before anyone else!


    "So what will happen to Creative?"
    Good question. It's not going anywhere! After the new Minigames system launches, you will still be able to directly access the Creative server via the existing IP c.mc-mega.com. Otherwise, you can easily access the Creative server from the lobby Game Selector when connecting via the new Minigames Lobby.
    Actually, Creative will inherent some of the awesome new features of the Minigames network, including the custom Friends and Party system! Also, since everything is still connected, you can still message your friends playing on Minigames while your building away on Creative!

    One final important note is a change in the names for the shop ranks. At launch day, the current Donator rank will be renamed to VIP and the current VIP rank will be renamed to MVP. The Elite and Mega ranks will remain unchanged. It is important to note that the perks you have today won't be changing, as this is just a name change.

    Development is going very smoothly. If all goes according to plan during the next few weeks, we should be ready for a public launch during the weekend of June 4th! We still have some testing and finishing touches to do, but I am hopeful we can hit that deadline!

    I hope you all enjoy this new server when it launches. This has been a huge effort from both myself, the staff team, and Dyatrian. We've been working for multiple months to make this the best minigames server we can, so I hope you will all jump on and play some games when it launches!

    Welcome to the New Age of MegaCraft!

    Not exactly. We'd love some suggestions, however it wouldn't be likely for suggestions on this thread to make it out for launch.

    That moment when you double-read your posts to make are that you not get corrected by an 11 year old Khan Academy servant, in which case you enter the land of the 'embarrassment'.

    Uh, Blue, I think that in Paintball, you should actually consider making it a 3:00 minute time, and whoever gets the most kills (team wise) wins. Or, you could do a Splatoon-related game mode, revolving around 'Turf War'.

    Orrr, the mode could be randomly selected or voted for once you enter the game.
