KOTH#
KOTH (King of the Hill) is a scheduled PvP event. A capture zone opens in a PvP area, and the player who holds it for the full capture time wins a reward.
| Command | Effect |
|---|---|
/koth | Opens the KOTH menu: the active KOTH with its X and Z coordinates, the next KOTH with its countdown, or "No KOTH active" |
/nextkoth | Shows which KOTH comes next and when ("A KOTH is active now!" while one runs) |
How it works#
- KOTHs run on an automatic rotation (see the table below). The timer to the next KOTH starts when the previous one ends. Warnings are broadcast 5 minutes, 3 minutes, 2 minutes, 1 minute, 30 seconds and 15 seconds before the start.
- When one starts, "<KOTH> has started!" is announced. Open
/kothfor its coordinates. - Stand inside the zone to start capturing. Only one player captures at a time: others in the zone cannot capture until the capper leaves, dies, or is killed.
- If you kill the player who is capturing while inside the zone, you take over as capper, and the capture timer starts from the beginning for you.
- The capper must stay alive and inside the zone for the full capture time. Broadcasts count down the last minutes ("<player> is now capping <KOTH>", "<N> before <player> wins <KOTH>").
- If nobody holds the zone for 10 minutes, the game announces "<KOTH> has been uncapped for 10m!". If nobody holds it for an hour, the KOTH ends with no winner.
- The winner gets the reward and chat announces who won.
On Survival you must have PvP enabled (/pvp) to capture (PvP).
KOTHs per gamemode#
| Gamemode | KOTHs, in rotation order | Next KOTH starts | Capture time | Reward |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Skyblock | Inferno KOTH | 1 hour after the last one ends | 150 seconds | 1 KOTH Crate key |
| Lifesteal | Cover, Square, Canyon, Crossing, Citadel | 15 minutes after the last one ends | 5 minutes | 1 KOTH Crate key |
| Survival | Village, Trees, Bridge | 1 hour after the last one ends | 5 minutes | 1 Koth Crate key |
Keys open the KOTH crates described on Crates and Crate Lists.
Koth Flare#
A Koth Flare is a firework rocket named after a KOTH. Using it starts that KOTH immediately. It does nothing if a KOTH is already active.
Outposts#
Outposts are Koths that never end. A team captures an outpost, and while its team controls it, every member gets the outpost's boost. Capturing needs a team: a clan on Lifesteal and a town on Survival. Skyblock, Prison and the hub have no outposts.
- Capture time is 5 minutes and works like a KOTH, but there is no deadline.
- A team cannot capture an outpost it already controls.
- Boosters are refreshed every 30 seconds while the outpost is held, and removed when another team takes it.
- Outposts are PvP areas without keep inventory on Survival ("WARNING: Keep Inventory is off!").
| Gamemode | Outpost | Boost while controlled | Warp |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lifesteal | Red Keep Outpost | +20% clan points | /warp outpost |
| Survival | Shop Sell Multiplier Outpost | +5% town money from selling | /warp OutpostShop |
| Survival | Crop Growth Multiplier Outpost | +5% town crop growth | /warp OutpostCrop |
| Survival | Spawner Speed Multiplier Outpost | +5% faster town spawners | /warp OutpostSpawner |
On Survival /outposts opens a menu of the three outposts with a warp button for each. On Lifesteal the Outpost is also in the /warps menu. See Outposts and Clans for clan rules, and Towns for towns.
