If you would like to enter the giveaways, go ahead and visit our official post!

☁️ What is SkyPvP?

SkyPvP is a new twist on regular PvP games, set high up on floating islands in the sky.
Instead of fighting on solid ground, you’ll battle on narrow platforms where falling off is a big risk.
In SkyPvP, every player you defeat helps you gain more resources and abilities.
The high-up setting makes the game extra exciting because you have to be good at fighting and careful about where you move. Get ready for fast-paced action where every move matters!
Changelog
The following are the most important features that will be released in our brand-new SkyPvP gamemode.
🌪️Map! Fight in the clouds

The SkyPvP map has a safe zone in the middle where players can go anytime to avoid fighting.
This central area is a good place to rest, plan, or meet up with friends safely.
Around this safe zone, there are many small islands floating in the sky.
These islands are connected by parkour routes—this means there are jumps and paths that require careful stepping and timing to cross. Players need to be careful and quick when moving between islands to fight or escape. This setup makes the game exciting and tests both fighting skills and the ability to move wisely.

🍰 Team! Play solo or in a team
At our SkyPvP gamemode, we are allowing you to team up with your friends.
Looking to team up to safety with some of your friends? Team up by using the /team command.
💗 Create a Team to play with friends.
Within a team, there are plenty of features that you can use to enhance your experience at our Lifesteal server even more.
You can create a team by using the /team create <name> command, once your team is created you can invite your friends by running /team invite <player>.
They can either accept or reject this invite by typing /team accept <team> or /team reject <team>.
Feeling a bit lost with all the commands? There is a simple help page that you can visit at any time using /team help.

🏆 Fight to be the #1 Team
To create a little competition between the teams, we will be introducing the Team Top, where you can collect souls by killing your enemies.
The team with the most souls will be the #1 Team.



🏰 Outposts! Boost up your team

The outposts are 24/7 battlefields, in total, there will be 4 different outpost types.
These outposts give their unique buffs, so make sure to keep an eye out for them with your Team.

Simply capture an outpost by standing on it with your team members, the more members, the faster the claiming process goes.
The following 4 outposts can be found within the corners of the maps:
⚔️ Damage Outpost
🍀 Lucky Block Outpost
💀 Souls Outpost
🍾 Experience Outpost
Deal +5% extra damage to players.
Earn two rewards from Lucky Blocks
Earn x2 Souls from killing players.
Earn x2 experience from killing players.


🏆 Prestiges! Climb the ladder

In SkyPvP, players can climb a ladder of prestiges, which are levels of achievement based on their performance in the game.
Each prestige is divided into smaller divisions, showing finer progress within the levels.
🧮 Rank Rating.
Your prestige level is determined by your rank rating, which works similarly to a ranked ELO system in other competitive games.
This means your rating changes based on the outcome of your fights—how many players you defeat and the rank of those players.
🧗‍♂️ Climb the ladder of Prestiges
When you defeat a player, you gain rank rating, especially if they are ranked higher than you. Conversely, you lose rank rating if you are defeated, particularly by someone ranked lower. This system encourages players to continually improve their skills and strategies to climb higher on the prestige ladder.

🔫 Perks! Enhance your playstyle

You can unlock and upgrade various perks using the experience they gain from gameplay.
Each player has two perk slots, which allows them to choose and activate the specific perks they want to use during battles.
📜 Choose from 8 different perks.
At launch, there will be seven perks available to start. By earning experience and investing in perks, players can tweak their abilities to suit their preferred play style.
🍾 Experience Protector
🏹 Arrow Refund
🦇 Vampire
🌋 Capper
Lose less experience upon dying.
Chance to refund the arrows you shoot.
Chance to heal a percentage of the damage you dealt.
Increase the outpost capture power you have as a player.
💞 Healthy
🛡️ Paladin
💪 Hulk
🔑 Keychain
Chance to gain Regeneration II after a kill.
Chance to reduce the amount of incoming damage.
Chance to gain Strength II after a kill.
Increases the chance of Battle Keys dropping after a kill.


🥳 Events! Participate in fun events

Events add an extra layer of excitement and challenge.
Every hour, a new event starts automatically, chosen from one of four available types.
These events offer unique gameplay twists and opportunities for players to earn extra rewards.
With this release we will be having 4 events that can start, those events being:
🌄 King of the Ladder
🐇 Double Jump
🥇 Gold Rush
🌷 Floral Fortune
A pillar with ladders will be summoned to a random location on the map.

Stand on top of this pillar to earn points. After 10 minutes the top 3 players with the most points will win the event.
Time to bounce! During this event everyone will be able to double jump. Making the game feel fresh and fun.

This event only last 10 minutes, so make sure to bounce around enough. Everyone is a winner during this event.
Every player starts with a bag of 150 gold. Killing a player will make them lose some gold to you.

After 30 minutes the top 3 players with the most gold will win.
Flowers are being dropped all across the map, these flowers are your way into the Floral Fortune giveaway.

The more flowers you return to the Florist, which will be spawned in a random location on the map, the higher the chance of winning. At the end 3 random players will be given the reward.

This is completely random, but the more returned flowers, the higher the chance to win.



🍀 Lucky Blocks! Gain extra loot

Lucky Blocks are special items placed all over the map.
These blocks give you different rewards that can make your equipment better. The rewards depend on the tier of the Lucky Block—the higher the tier, the better the rewards.
👀 Keep your eyes open to find them.
Lucky Blocks can only be seen when you are close to them.
This makes finding them a surprise and encourages you to move around the map more.
Inside these blocks, you might find weapons, armor, or power-ups that can help you in battle.
Finding higher-tier blocks is especially good because they have better items. This feature adds excitement to the game and helps players improve their chances of winning a fight.

📦Void Vault! Store items from void kills

The Void Vault is a special safety feature where you can store items dropped by players you defeat by knocking them into the void.
This vault captures and saves these drops, preventing them from being lost forever in the abyss.
🔒 Make sure to have enough free slots.
However, the Void Vault has a limited number of slots available to store items. To make sure you don't miss out on any loot from your victories, it's important to upgrade the vault.
Upgrading increases the number of slots, allowing you to save more items. This makes the Void Vault an essential tool for players looking to maximize their gains from each battle.



🔮 Enchantments! Make your items even stronger

In SkyPvP, the enchantment table isn't just any table—it's a special one where you can upgrade your weapons and armor.
Here, you can buy levels of enchantments to make your gear stronger. The more powerful the enchantment, the more it costs in terms of experience points.
Some special enchantments can only be bought at this table, and they usually come at a high price.
This makes the enchantment table a key spot in the game for players looking to give their equipment an extra edge in battles. If you want to enhance your weapons and armor significantly, you'll need to save up your experience to afford these high-level enchantments.



🛒 Shop! Make your loadout complete
The shop is where you can buy different things to help you in the game.
You can buy a clean loadout here, which means you get basic equipment without choosing a kit, for players who want to build up their own gear.
The shop also sells extra experience points to help you level up faster, food to keep your health up during fights, and golden heads.
Golden heads are special items that heal you quickly in combat, these heads come in different variants obtainable from lucky blocks, and more.



We hope to see you on our new SkyPvP server soon!
If you have feedback or any suggestion, let us know we'd love to make this as good as we can.
Thanks
