We will be having a total of 16 corners with 4 worlds, and those worlds are the following:
There will be a total of 20 corners, these being the following: Overworld |  The End |  Jungle World |  Desert World |

New! Factions Points
Introducing the new Faction Points system! Your faction can now earn points by completing various tasks, with each point adding $100 million to your faction's value, significantly boosting your strength. However, be careful—dying will cause your faction to lose 1 point.
This new system offers a more engaging way to grind for Faction Top, as you can build and protect your points rather than just focusing on placing spawners.
Unfortunately, this means we have to say goodbye to the PvP Top. With the introduction of Faction Points, we’re retiring the PvP Top as these points will now have their own rewards category, replacing the end-of-season rewards previously given to PvP Top players.
You can earn Faction Points by doing all sorts of tasks, and those tasks are the following:
 Winning a KOTH | Opening a Supply Crate |  Winning the Stronghold |
|---|---|---|
Winning a KOTH will give your Faction 150 Points | Opening a Supply Crate will give your Faction 1 Point | Winning the Stronghold will give your Faction 250 points. |
 Capturing an Outpost |  Boss Kill |  Raiding Outpost Captured |
|---|---|---|
Holding an outpost for 60 minutes will give your faction 25 points for every 60 minutes. | Killing a boss will give your Faction 5 Points. | Holding the Raiding Outpost will give your Faction 50 Points every 30 minutes. |
New! Hype Boxes
This season, we’re introducing Hype Boxes, a brand-new type of loot crate that will be available for a limited time! These special boxes will be released for 2 weeks right after the first bi-weekly payout, giving you the perfect opportunity to gear up and prepare for intense PvP battles.
Hype Boxes are filled with essential items to complete your loadout, giving you the edge you need to dominate in combat. Don’t miss out on this limited-time chance to power up!
New! Watch Tower
We’re excited to introduce the new Watch Tower outpost, which will be replacing the East Outpost (Keys). This outpost brings a fresh challenge for all factions.
Every 3 hours, your faction will have the opportunity to capture the Watch Tower. Once captured, your faction will have 3 hours to complete specific tasks to earn valuable points.
Level Up the Watch Tower as a Faction These tasks range from killing enemy faction players and grinding mobs in the warzone to completing quests. By working together with your faction, you can earn these points and use them to upgrade the Watch Tower. These points will help level up your faction’s boosts, giving you a strategic advantage.
The following boosts are available for upgrade.
- Damage: +0.5% more damage per level (5% max)
- Protection: 0.5% less damage per level (5% max)
- Pet Boost: +5% more Pet EXP per level (50% max)
- Enchanter: +1.5% per level increased enchant success rate (15% max)
- Money: +2% extra money per faction member online per level (200% max, 20% per member online)
- EXP: +1% extra money per faction member online per level (100% max, 10% per member online)
- Faction Token Boost: +25% extra Faction Tokens per level (250% max)
- Reroll: +0.25% extra crate re-roll chance per level (2.5% max)
Beware of the Deathban! Be cautious—if you die at the outpost, you’ll face a 5-minute ban from factions, known as a "deathban."
After your faction successfully captures the Watch Tower, a 3-hour cooldown will begin.
During this time, your faction won’t be able to capture the outpost again, but you can defend it against other factions who will be eager to take control once the cooldown ends.
New! Mob Suits
We’re excited to bring back mob suits with an exciting new twist!
Instead of having multiple suits, you now have just one mob suit that you can upgrade over time. This change makes it easier and more rewarding to enhance your suit as you progress.
Upgrade Your Suit to Unlock Better BoostsWhen you wear the full mob suit while grinding, you’ll receive special effects. As you upgrade your suit, these effects become even more powerful. You’ll earn more mobcoins, gain more experience, and kill mobs faster with each upgrade.
New! Graceperiod SpawnersTo make the grace period more focused on grinding and progression, we’ve made an important change regarding spawners. During the grace period, all spawners will be locked. To unlock a spawner, you’ll need to reach a certain number of kills with the previous spawner.
Unlock Spawners by Grinding Previous Mobs At the start, you can only buy one spawner. To unlock the next one, you’ll need to grind hard by killing mobs from the spawner you currently have. As you reach the required kill count, you’ll gradually unlock more spawners, making your grinding efforts crucial to your faction’s success.
New! Party Crate
We’re excited to introduce the new Party Crate, a special reward that you can earn through the Vote Party. This crate is designed to make the Vote Party even more thrilling, turning it into a true celebration.
When you open a Party Crate, you’ll have a chance to win any key in the game.
The more valuable the key, the lower the chance of winning it—but every key is up for grabs.
So, with every Vote Party, there’s a chance to hit the jackpot with the Party Crate!
Updated! DuelsThe Duels system has received a small change, rather than having a selection of kits, you will now just simply select the duel kit to fight out your duels.
The duel kit has the following loadout:
- Diamond Helmet (p5 unb3)
- Diamond Chestplate (p5 unb3)
- Diamond Leggings (p5 unb3)
- Diamond Boots (p5 unb3)
- Diamond Sword (sharp 5)
- 16x ender pearl
- 64x Golden carrot
- 30x Health II Splash
- 3x Speed II Potion
Updated! Sand Bots
We’re making an important update to how Sandbots operate.
If a Sandbot runs out of money stored inside it, it will now automatically draw funds from your faction bank to keep performing its tasks.
This change ensures that your Sandbots can continue working smoothly without interruptions, as long as your faction bank has sufficient funds.
Updated! KOTH
We’ve made major upgrades to the loot you can earn from KOTH events!
The rewards have received a significant buff, making them more valuable and worth fighting for.
But that’s not all—during the grinding grace period, KOTH loot gets an even bigger boost.
This means the rewards during this special time will be even more powerful, giving you extra motivation to participate and dominate in KOTH.
Updated! MinigamesWe’re excited to share some fantastic updates to our minigames! During the grace period, minigames will now offer even better loot, giving you more reasons to dive in and play. Whether you’re grinding for rewards or just having fun, the enhanced loot will make your time in minigames even more rewarding.
Additionally, we’ve made it simpler to join a minigame. You no longer need to clear your inventory before participating. When the minigame begins, your inventory will be temporarily set aside and restored once the game is over, making the experience hassle-free and enjoyable.
