CubeCraft BedWars Update: Items, Portals and Skill-Based Matchmaking

CubeCraft has released a big update to BedWars that changes both the base assault and the tempo of the match. The mode store has three new items added. Gust flies through the map and fireballs at opponents on the way; such projectiles can destroy blocks without explosion resistance. The destroyer first charges and then breaks forward, breaking all the destructible blocks except obsidian. After destruction, it will need a new charge, and only an indestructible barrier or void can stop it.

The third subject, the Copper Golem, helps with resources on the home island. He takes the materials from the generator and puts them in the command chest. At the same time, players retain priority when receiving resources from the generator. Another convenient change concerns personal storage: now the ender chest is on each island of all maps, so access to your belongings does not depend on the position on the map.

On several maps, the developers began an experiment with portals between the islands of teams. Each team starts with its own portal, which is guarded by the Portal Guard. If the enemy guard is eliminated, the player gains control of the portal – including if the owner team has already dropped out of the match. The captured island opens up access to additional generator resources and new attack destinations. Control is not permanently fixed: another player can kill the guard and intercept the portal. Mechanics are tested on three cards for each mode and collect feedback from players.

BedWars has also officially implemented improved matchmaking by skill instead of the previous management-type distribution. Now the players fall into a common queue, and the selection is based on an assessment of their level of play. The value of the skill is not shown: it is only necessary for more suitable matches. Separate estimates are provided for different control methods, and the initial indicator depends on the input device. The system takes into account activity in other BedWars modes and uses calibration matches to quickly determine the appropriate level of opponents.

Four new cards are announced in the update; among those named are Neon for teams of two players and solos, Classroom for teams of two players and solos, and Pyramids for teams of four players. In addition, the swords are no longer broken, and when you buy a stronger weapon, the weak sword is automatically removed from the inventory. The builder of bridges-Enderman has become three times faster and better stops on a flat surface. Throwing fireballs made more stable, in battle weakened regeneration, added particles when destroying the enemy bed and corrected animations breaking beds and chests with custom skins.
