It’s April! Our 2nd month of Spring. We began with a bit of April’s Fools, where every kit has 1hp! A mere fall could mean death! This time there’s less to announce as most of the focus was on the new survival (you can join it by running /server DarkSurvival anywhere on ConwyMC). There’s still new stuff this month along with a new map rotation!

April Fools

April Fools began after the survival Slenderman fight, as 20:22 UTC. All kits have just 1hp. Taking any damage would kill you. This event lasts until Monday Evening (UTC). Once this ends, it will not be coming back!

Vote Skip

If at least 60% of the online players vote to skip the map using the brand new command /voteskip to band together on maps you don’t like!

- Increased damage from fire and lava from 9.5 to 11.
- Increased damage from contact, dragon breath, drowning, dryout, falling block, hot floor, lightning, magic & melting from 8 to 10.

Bug Fixes

There’s always more bugs to fix...

Rogue can no longer throw arrows while in shadowstep
Vanguard now regains speed rather than jump after hitting an enemy with charge
Contact, dragon breath, drowning, dryout, falling block, hot floor, lightning, magic & melting can now kill the player rather than leaving them on 1 hp

Other Changes

Some stuff that didn’t fit into other areas, but is still worth mentioned
