Hoplite is an upcoming Minecraft server with a brand new Battle Royale gamemode, which is a fast-paced adaptation of SpeedSilver’s popular Battle Royale series on YouTube. Throughout the server, you’ll find a ton of exciting features such as server-wide proximity chat, cosmetics, and other game modes!

This blog post covers all that Hoplite has to offer.

## Battle Royale 
Battle Royale is an action-packed gamemode where you can play in teams or solo, craft legendary weapons, and fight to win! 
You'll start by riding a dragon over a giant custom world, and can glide down to explore the vanilla and custom structures as seen in SpeedSilver's YouTube videos. Then, you'll receive a recipe book with custom items that help with survival (like the smelters pickaxe, a lucky supply crate, or a nether reactor core!). You can also craft all of the legendary weapons to use in battle once pvp enables after 15 minutes. As the border begins closing in, only one team can be left standing!

There are two modes of Battle Royale:

### 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 also 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.

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 also 50 minutes long, and end in an epic deathmatch!

## Duels
Duels is our second game mode on Hoplite. With our intuitive, custom GUIs (thanks, [Looshy](https://twitter.com/looshysucks)!) you can queue into custom, casual, and private games more easily than ever before. You can even make your own kit using our kit editor!

This is something to look forward to post-release, as Hoplite will not be releasing with Duels. Keep your eyes peeled on our Twitter account and Discord server for future updates!
