The community has grown considerably over the past week, I think now would be a great time to start doing events.
A UHC is a great event to do. Players can really get to know each other this way and it's a great way to have fun murdering your fellow friends (and sometimes even teammates, woops.)
So what is a UHC?
For this event, Skype or Discord is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. That is the best way to communicate with your team members. Before the event begins, there will be a group call for organising and important information. Remember to check both group chats and the forum often when the event is approaching for information.
UHCs have several rules:

So what is a UHC?
- A UHC is a game mode that involves no health regeneration.
- Players are spawned into a brand new map with a relatively small border.
- The players are spread out and then the match starts.
- There are usually teams of 2 or 3, but can be even larger teams or maybe even solo.
- The goal is to be the last team standing.
- Mine resources to get the advantage over other players. Use gold to create golden apples in order to regenerate health. Use diamonds to create an enchanting table and enchant your weapons and armour.
- PvP is enabled, so go kill everyone else!
- Once you die. You CANNOT be respawned back in. You can however be given spectator mode so that you can watch everyone else.

UHCs have several rules:
- Stripmining is NOT allowed. The map is checked afterwards and any stripmining spots found will be traced back to their original team/player (it's actually pretty damn easy to find out who did it.) Anyone who stripmines will be dealt with accordingly.
- PvP is NOT allowed on the FIRST DAY. At night you can start attacking other players, but if you find an enemy team on the FIRST DAY you are NOT allowed to attack them. Try to keep your distance so no mistakes occur.
- Xraying is NOT allowed. This is so easy to see and will be dealt with harshly.
- Staircasing IS allowed, but only straight ones, you CANNOT branch staircase or staircase below Y 16.
- Stealing IS allowed for obvious reasons.
- The usual server rules still apply, so no being a dick!
- If you die to a player, do not reveal where they are or what they have. That's not fair! Just be humble and accept death.
- You may die to something stupid like a witch, lag or even gravel. Unfortunately these things do happen, you won't be spawned back in unless you die within the first few minutes of the match.
- If you have died and you're in spectator mode, DO NOT reveal any ores or players. Let the surviving players play normally, I hope you all understand how unfair that makes it.
- There is NO TEAMING between solo players or different teams. That is unfair for the team/player being ganged up on.
- You CANNOT pillar up extremely high.
Still not sure about what a UHC is? Check out this video: (I'm one of the people playing! Guess who?)
Tips and tricks:
The UHC will begin at 6pm GMT Saturday 10th September. Use a timezone converter to find out when that is (that's 7pm for us UK lot.) We can still wait for other players if they will be arriving very shortly.
The UHC should be on a separate server. Everyone will be whitelisted. More details to follow.
Good luck! And happy killing! Any questions feel free to reply
Tips and tricks:
- Collect wood straight away.
- Gather as much food/leather/sugarcane as you can.
- Find a cave to dig into during the night.
- Get apples. A lot of apples.
- Try not to take any PvE damage, because your health DOES NOT regenerate naturally.
- Use golden apples to regenerate health...maybe even try getting potions?
- See a wolf? That may come in handy later on.
- Shifting is pretty useful.

If at first you don't succeed, give up.
