Welcome tributes! Today we’re excited to announce our next big release: UHC Worlds. This exciting new game type is something we’ve been working on that we couldn't wait to share! Details on the game features, leaderboards, our goals with feedback and how to get access to the Beta are below.
Here at MCGamer we like doing things a little differently. Of course, UHC has been done many times before, so what’s so special about this one? Well, with UHC Worlds, we have added our own unique spin on the popular game: Custom World Generation! Just as you would vote on a map in MCSG, you can vote on different generators. These world generators will each offer different gameplay experiences, so adapt quickly to your ever-changing environments, and fight to come out on top! Do you have what it takes to survive?
There are currently four available world generators in UHC Worlds:
Vanilla: The Vanilla world generator is just as you would expect, the default minecraft generation. For the fans of standard uhc, gear up and hunt your gold and diamonds, enchant your gear and craft your golden apples.
Amplified: Amplified worlds create amazing looking scenery and huge drops. I suggest watching where you walk. If you’re careful, you may even stay alive long enough to find other players and prove your skills!
Skylands: Where in a standard generator you’d fall and hit the ground, you might not be so lucky in the Skylands. The skylands generator is the first of our two initial custom generators; the sky island generation places mineshafts, villages, dungeons, and denser ores in your path, creating obstacles, goals and rewards at every turn. This fast-paced world type leads to shorter, more intense games.
Warped: The second of our custom world generators, this world generator takes the atmosphere of the nether and expands upon it to create a truly unique world. Withstand the heat and you might walk into the deathmatch fully kitted out with potions and enchantments, but get too greedy and you may end up face-to-face with a dose of poison!
UHC Worlds will be our second game type to offer a fully comprehensive leaderboard system using our new website. Its leaderboard will be released on the website within 24 hours of when the game type itself is released in-game. Compete in-game and reach for the top, but be aware that these beta leaderboards will be reset when the game is officially released!
Going hand-in-hand with the beta, we will be listening to the community for any thoughts and feedback to provide the best experience we can. We will be opening a forum subsection for UHC Worlds. This forum is where you can post images, videos, feedback and suggestions for us to read and comment on. Based on player feedback, we might make changes such as tweaking the lengths of games, the number of players, or even offering multiple sizes of games, similar to MCSG.
While UHC Worlds is in beta, we’ll be looking for volunteers to help us test the game, squash bugs and give feedback. We’ll be limiting the amount of players with access during beta to give us a smaller control group; this allows us to assess aspects such as server load in a more controlled manner. We will be randomly selecting players to participate in the beta, but as our thanks to those who have supported the server, premium members will be given access to the beta automatically. We will be selecting applicants from those who request access in-game through the beta menu, shown above, accessible on all UHC Worlds Hubs!
The UHC Worlds Beta is tentatively expected to last 2 weeks, depending on what direction the beta testing, feedback, and suggestions takes us. Log on today and toss in your two cents!
