Minecraft Hunger Games Server

Season 1 is a wrap!, Season 2 will bring a new era of features to the server. Within the following weeks there will be a new perk system to explore. Players will be given tribute for their kills and wins. This tribute can be used to unlock perks within the game. Perks will range from receiving buffs when killing players to hats. Donators will obtain tribute faster by receiving a multiplyer. A compass feature is also in the works making it easier for players to find their foes on the minecraft hunger games server. Prizes are still heavly being considered for the top players in the leaderboards at the end of each season. On another note, we want to thank all players who participated in season 1 and wish them more success this season. New maps are in the works and are hoping to have those released within 3 weeks. More servers are being rolled out to support the Minecraft HG network and we may implement a cloud feature. More information on the new perk system will be posted in about 1-2 weeks. This system has been tested on various other networks and believe it enhances the game expierence.

With the arrival of 2013, Minecraft HG has implemented a new season ranking system. Every 60 days a new season will begin. At end of each season player stats are reset and awards are distributed to the top 25 players on the leaderboards. Season FAQ provides more details regarding this PvP ranking system. Ultimately this was designed to create less confusion regarding loss of player stats and give new players a better chance on the leaderboards. On another note Over the past 2 months we have collected many bug reports regarding the minecraft hunger games server, in the coming weeks there will be much effort in the developement departement to fix many bugs and give new life to the server with great new features. A cloud system has also been planned to expand the player capacity on both the Minecraft HG and build servers, along with allowing more players to connect this will also improve lag problems and allow the servers to feature more content.

Due to popular demand we have opened the Build.MinecraftHG.com server. When you get kills/wins inside of hunger games you will receive money. This money can be used on the build.MinecraftHG.com server to purchase blocks,gear,weapons,etc... It can also be used to protect land. On Build.MinecraftHG.com there is a spawn area where all the shops are located. Surrounding the shop area there are about 100+ Donator lots that are available to people who have purchased ranks. Beyond that there is a world for anyone to explore and protect land on. There are over 100+ exciting new Donator Rank Commands and features on the Build.MinecraftHG.com server. When you purchase a rank you receive benefits on all servers. More information on the new commands/features will be posted on the rank page of the website soon.

Update 1: Should no longer be any lag. I repogrammed the economy plugin to not rely on iconomy but still receive the money from HG.MinecraftHG.com Wins/Kills.

Update 2: The build server seems to be going great. I implemented a custom kill streak/bounty system to create PvP incentive with money rewards. I'm hoping to continue improving this server. My future plans right now are to create an arena based PvP feature where you create teams and join arenas to compete for money/rankings. Beyond that there are many things are improve on and add. Also on another note the minecraft hunger games has now upgraded with 1600 slots (400 new ones)

We have merged pvp.uberminecraft.com into this server. This means all the player data and players from that server are now merged into this one. Players from pvp.uberminecraft.com will now automatically connect into our servers. This allows this network to hold 1200 players. All the players that purchased ranks on pvp.uberminecraft.com will receive them here as well. Something interesting I noticed while merging data last night is that over 65,000+ unique players have played at least 1 game on our servers in the last 2 weeks :). With this expansion migration we are hoping to continue our growth. Currently the server player cap is 1200 players, it should be increased to 1600 players in the next week or so.

Some huge changes to ranks and leaderboard were made. There is a new formula that determines the rank of a player. Previously it was 90% dependant on time played on the server. The new formula includes skill based factors. K/D Ratio (Kills) now play an important roll. Games won play an important roll as well. While Games played do increase your rank but not significantly. Also I have succesfully connected the two servers together. Before only stat data that affects your ranks from MinecraftHG.com was being used. Now the two servers data is merged and in sync. This means playing on either server will affect your stats and rank just the same. Also the loading time of the leaderboards and player pages is now extremely fast. Most importantly when inside the game your rank next to your name will update much quicker. Also players that are unranked will become ranked within 1-3 games played. I can Finally say Ranks/Leaderboards are at a point to where I want them. These 2 weeks since the server opened have been very busy. This was all a huge job to accomplish and took me around 14 hours. Also on a side note commenting on articles is now fixed. Would like to also thank those who were hired to livestream.

Due to high amount of feedback. I Have tweaked the deadly disease setting. It is basically 65% less likely to get the disease. and 80% less likely to get the Disease the first 20 minutes. Deadly disease is something that has to be featured in the game and here's why. With 400 players connected to each server it is ideal that games do not last longer then 30 minutes. Also those who hide in parts of the map until everyone either dies or leaves the game need to have a chance of starving out things like parasites, Illness and deadly disease. This setting would have been fixed much sooner however this server only being 2 weeks old has been a ton of work. I will continue to fix other bugs and exploits in the game to provide you the best minecraft hunger games experience that won't be matched anywhere else. Thank you all for your support hopefully you appreciate this fix.

I am looking for someone to stream on twitch.tv. It will be of yourself playing on the minecraft hunger games server. This job will pay via paypal (But not a whole lot). It will be paid per hour of live streaming. The stream will be featured on this website. Looking for someone mature over the age of 15. Must be polite on stream (No excessive swearing) or hate. Must be familiar with this server and be decent at the game. email billing@uberminecraft.com if your interested about this position. Make sure you include that your interested in the live "streaming" position.

I need some input from you guys before proceeding development. I want the server to award players with money for playing Hunger Games. They will be awarded amounts for Killing players / Winning Games / Participating. This money will be used for purchasing land and blocks to build with. If I allow the players to build on the same server (MinecraftHG.com) this will be a HUGE development process. It may result in lag on the server as well. However if players connect to a different server ex.(Clubs.MinecraftHG.com) to build this would be much easier and would not affect the performance while playing PvP Hunger Games. Let me know what you guys think in the comments and the poll. Would you guys connect to a different server to buy land/build (ex.Clubs.MinecraftHG.com) or is that too much of a hassle?
