Battle Royale is our most extensive gamemode, which is a fast-paced adaptation of SpeedSilver’s Battle Royale series. The goal is to mine for resources and try to become the last player standing! As natural regeneration is off, you’ll need to get golden apples for healing and get kills for more gold and edible player heads. 

This article goes in-depth about Battle Royale, so keep reading to prepare for open beta!

## Solo and Civilization Modes
There are two modes in Battle Royale to choose from:

🥇**Solo** - The solo mode is quite tough to win. You'll be playing alone against 60 other people in a game that lasts 50 minutes. Solo has proximity chat, and you'll have the option to hear everyone, nobody, or just your friends!

🏆**Civilization** - In the civilization mode, you'll join forces with other players and elect a king, making winning a lot more possible (with the right strategy). Each game will hold 10 teams of 9, and you can make parties with up to 3 friends. This mode also has proximity chat, and you can toggle between hearing everyone, only your team, or just your friends. (Or nobody, but those who connect to proximity chat will receive an XP bonus!). Games are 50 minutes long, and end in an epic deathmatch!

## Game Phases

🐉**Phase #1: Dragon Scatter** -
You’ll start each game on a dragon, customized in Civ mode to your team colours. After which, you’ll soar safely onto the ground with the help of a glider.

⛏**Phase #2: Preparation** (15 minutes) -
Next is preparation. PvP is disabled, so you’ll be safe for a short while! Use your time wisely to get materials, gear up, go to the nether, and craft legendary weapons to support you in battle.

👑**Phase #3: King Election** (1 Minute, Civ mode only) -
If you're playing civ mode (teams), you’ll have 1 minute to elect a king. You can use the “/vote” command to open the menu, but it will auto open after 30 seconds in case you forget! Make sure you participate, as you get bonus coins and XP if you vote for a king. Whoever has the most votes becomes king!

There are different political paths that players can select when running for king, and these give buffs or items to *everyone* on the team when the election is over! These paths include offense (gives sharpness books), defence (gives protection books), farming (gives golden apples), mysticism (gives random enchanted books).

⚔ **Phase #4: Pvp** (40 minutes)  -
This is what you’ve been preparing for all game! The border will start shrinking, and now you can fight other players or teams. If you’re still underground, now is the time to resurface. If you're underground for too long during this phase, you will be given a warning to get above ground before meeting a deadly enemy…

🔥**Phase #5: Deathmatch** -
After PvP, the remaining teams and players will be teleported to the deathmatch arena where you’ll have to fight to the death. After some time, the border will begin shrinking both vertically and inwards, and the match will go on until only 1 team (or player) is left standing!

## World Generation

In Battle Royale, we use a custom seed generator so each world is completely unique and different from the next. The biomes are completely custom, and so are the structures that you’ll find randomly across the map. You may even recognize some structures from SpeedSilver’s Battle Royale and Purge videos!

The world only goes down to y=-14 and deepslate begins at y=8, making caving much quicker in early-game. One ancient city and one stronghold both have chances to generate each game, at a completely random location. 

You’ll never know what to expect from the world when queueing into a new Battle Royale game, and this is what makes it so much fun!

## Nether

Your able to enter the nether right off the bat. Only 1 structure has the chance to spawn each game, which will appear at the centre of the nether. The border in the nether is 150 blocks, and slowly closes as the game progresses. Not to worry though, if your portal gets taken over by the border, there’s always an unlit portal at 0 70 0 so you can get back to the overworld!

## Recipe Book

There’s both basic crafts and legendary weapons to unlock each game. Keep your eyes peeled for a **future blog post** where we’ll **reveal all of the recipes**, so you can be extra prepared for open beta!

## Levelling (Star) System

As you play Battle Royale, you'll earn XP that you can use to level up! Each time you level up, you'll earn coins that you can use to level up your classes and perks.

## Classes & Perks

Classes and perks are upgradable with coins that you earn by playing games and levelling up! Our classes currently include the Miner class, Warrior class, Archer class, Looter class, and Trapper class. When you progress your classes, you can obtain a rare corresponding hat for that class at level 5, and a special skin for the main tool at prestige.

Perks are also upgradable with coins, and include haste, experience boost, starter health, speed, golden bounty, and saturation.

## Proximity Chat

Proximity chat will be in both solo and civ gamemodes. You’ll have the option to hear only your team, everyone, nobody, or just your friends… the choice is yours! Keep in mind however, that you will receive XP and coin bonuses if you connect to voice chat.

In order to use proximity chat, you’ll need to link your Minecraft account to your Discord account in our Discord server. More information on that is to come!
