Changelog
The most important features/modifications implemented towards this season's map and functions are the following.

We are going back in time, with a new spawn, one you will remember, this is one of our first spawns we have ever had at OpLifesteal.
We heard the feedback of a warzone where you jump out of spawn, it didn't hit the mark, so we are going back with a spawn in the middle of the warzone with a space theme.
One of our oldest spawns with a small rework to fit to the modern standards we have.





OpLifesteal has been updated to Minecraft version 1.21.4!
The server now runs on the latest version, offering better performance and new features.
You can still join using older versions, but we highly recommend updating to 1.21.4 for the best experience.

For the PvP, new items will be introduced such as the Wind Charge and Mace.
The Mace crafting recipe has been disabled, as we want this item to be rare, so the only way to obtain the Mace is from crates and from a rare KOTH drops.
On saturday and sunday the KOTH loot will include a Mace with a 1% chance of winning, so it's rare but possible to win during KOTHs on saturday & sunday.

The Warzone is getting more exciting with four new bosses coming.
Each boss has special attacks that make them tough to beat. Players will need to use smart strategies and skills to defeat them.
![]() | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() |

These four bosses have their own unique drop, which is a material in the brand new crafting recipes.
These drops are now the primary object to grind for, as they will be your resources to get special sets.

A brand-new Elytra Skill has been added to help you fly farther and faster!

The higher your skill level, the higher the chance your firework is refunded after use, letting you stay in the air longer without running out.

Each level gives you a +0.015% speed boost while flying with rockets.
At level 100, that’s up to +15% extra speed!

You gain experience just by flying with your elytra — every second in the air helps you level up.

We’ve added the ability to open multiple keys at once, making your crate opening experience much faster and more convenient!
The higher your rank, the more keys you can open at the same time, with a maximum of 64 keys in a single bulk open.
An animation will start playing showcasing which rewards you have won directly, rather than having an individual animation for each key.

A new way to boost your shard gains has arrived!

By interacting with it, you’ll activate a powerful 5x shards multiplier that lasts for 24 hours.
This is perfect for players who want to get ahead faster, unlock rewards quicker, or just make the most out of their time.
Be sure to activate your boost when you're ready to grind!

Teams just got even better with some quality-of-life changes and a returning feature:

Team homes are back! You can now set a home for your team again.
Unlock more homes as your team levels up, and use the homes menu to easily view and manage all of them.

Need to share your coordinates fast? Use /team telllocation or the short version /tl to instantly post your current location in chat for your team to see.
Perfect for calling help or rallying your teammates!

You can now sell ore blocks directly in the shop!
This includes blocks like diamond, emerald, gold, iron, and more, making mining and fortune tools more valuable than ever.
Time to stock up and start selling!

Both KOTH and Outpost are now team-based, meaning only your team needs to stand in the zone to capture it.
This change makes it easier to work together, rewards better coordination, and removes the need to solo-capture while being attacked.
Make sure to bring your team and fight for control as a group!

All Classes are now given inside a special container instead of directly as items.
This makes it easier to store, trade, and organize your classes — just right-click the container to claim the class inside.
It also helps reduce clutter and improves overall inventory management.

The FPS arena is now more exciting with the addition of a KOTH and a controlable Outpost.

Stand on the KOTH capture zone and try to hold it until the timer ends.
If you win, you’ll get powerful rewards and useful loot. Be ready to fight off other players who want to steal the win.

Capture the Outpost in Warp FPS and keep control to earn passive rewards over time.
This is a great place for team fights and fast PvP action.
Jump into /warp FPS and start fighting for control and rewards!

After careful review, we've decided to remove custom potions from OpLifesteal.
Only two of them saw regular use, and overall they caused more issues than benefits—especially in PvP balance.
To ensure smoother combat and a fairer environment, they’ve been disabled for now.
They may return in future seasons, potentially in a reworked or more refined form.

We’ve put in a lot of work to polish and fix as many bugs as possible on the OpLifesteal server.
We carefully reviewed all reported issues and successfully fixed them.
If you find any bugs with the new release, please report them in the bug reports section on our forums.

You can earn Gold by reporting bugs! We appreciate everyone who takes the time to report issues, so we’re giving back to you.
Each season, when all reported bugs are fixed, you’ll receive Gold in your virtual wallet, which you can redeem on our Discord with /wallet.
Report your bugs here: https://pika-network.net/forums/bug_reports/
