Hello Munchies!

Yes you read the title correctly. This is an announcement regarding the latest update for Wool Wars! For the past few months, myself and @Fumaz have been working and planning (with ideas from @TheBoop and others) to bring you all the latest update for Wool Wars. And oh boy, it’s a big one.

Duels
Have you ever wanted to see if you are better than your friend? Now, you can! Introducing duels, the newest way to settle beef among friends. Using /duel [player] will allow you to 1v1 any player and compete in a 1v1 setting. May the best player win! (You will need to be a super or above to use the command, but anyone can be invited to a duel.)

Parties
Have you ever wanted to join a lobby with all of your friends but for some reason, one of your friends would always be in a different lobby? Well, we fixed that. Introducing Wool Wars parties. With this update, we now enable anyone (yes, no rank required) to create and join parties so you and your friends can play every game together.

With the introduction of parties, we are also introducing party games for the rank of Super and up. When the party leader chooses to host a party game, everyone in the party will join a private match, so you can play with just your friends!

Tournaments
Tournaments are very simple. When the command /tournament is typed, it creates a tournament arena. This arena is special because it can hold a max of 125 players in a single game. As of now, this can only be hosted by admins.

Player stats and settings
Here are a few changes to stats and settings:

  • All players stats are now saved
  • All player settings will now be saved, and will persist across relogs
  • The game will now remember which kit you used last, even after relogging

Other Player Changes
Here are a few other changes to players:

  • Added profile GUI

    • With this GUI, you can see other players stats, along with other information in a neat GUI that is not only easy to read, it is enjoyable to look at!
    • Picture!

      Picture1

  • Added /profile command

  • Added custom death messages

    • The new death messages are grouped by type of death, and are randomly selected from the group each time a player dies. There are over 100 different custom death messages. Here are a few that you could see!

Right clicking on the anvil while holding something will turn items in hand into their component parts. Left clicking will bring up a crafting table GUI.

* However, we had to temporarily disable it for the time being, but be on the lookout for it in the near future!

Do you have a kit idea? We want to hear what it is! We are hosting a kit competition where players can submit their kit ideas, where the community can vote on the best ones. Winners get some sweet prizes, so check it out here!

The dedicated Wool Wars fan base has waited patiently for a much deserved update, and hopefully this brings a much better experience to the game mode we all love.

If any of you find any unintended features (others would call these bugs ;) ), be sure to let us know by messaging us in game, on the forums, or through our community discord server. If any of you want to share your ideas with us, you can also share those using the same ways stated above.

We here at Munchy want to provide each player with the very best experience of our game modes. Look forward to the potential updates later in the close future as we take this game mode and make it the very best it can be.
