Heyho Minecraft friends,

We are delighted to present the new SkyWars update today!
You can look forward to a new kit, a new loot drop item, and minor balancing and quality of life changes!

Demolition Expert

The new Demolition Expert Kit was addet! Throw TNT through the sky, shoot your enemies with burning arrows and blow up your C4 instantly from far away!
Fly further by your own TNT and receive no explosion damage. You can boost yourself already within the preparation phase.

Will you build new traps or will you fly through the sky?

We have deliberately decided against adding the Morpher Kit from the last kit vote. This is due to various concerns that have arisen in retrospect. Nevertheless, we want to take the players' opinions into account and have therefore decided to incorporate the kit's functionality elsewhere.

Glowing chests during the preparation phase

From now on, barrels and chests will be displayed with a glowing effect during the preparation phase, even through blocks. This allows you to find all crates and equip yourself in time, even on unfamiliar maps in unknown environments!

Shrinking Potion

The Shrinking Potion can now be found in loot drops. Shrink for 30 seconds so you can fit through even the smallest gaps. Please give us feedback on whether this potion is too strong or too weak.

Compass-Rework

Right-clicking on the compass allows you to see your teammate through the light green glow effect, even from a distance and through blocks. From then on, the compass will always point to the nearest enemy and can no longer be switched to your teammate. 

Hunter and Gunner

The Archer kit has been removed. Its kills and victories have now been added to the Hunter kit. The Hunter kit now also includes the crossbow and some arrows from the Archer kit.
This means that these two kits have been combined. Archer can still be activated in private rounds. Hunter is the newly updated kit that combines the statistics of both kits.

Balancing Changes

There are also minor balancing adjustments. 

• Ninja Kit: It is now possible to focus on an opponent based on projectiles (accepted forum suggestion).
• Elytra Kit: The Elytra Kit will receive the cooldown suggested in a corresponding vote. This is 5 seconds and activates after the player has landed on the ground twice with the Elytra in a short period of time. Further changes to the kit are possible. Please feel free to leave feedback.

Elytra

We are aware that the adjustments to the Elytra kit are controversial changes. Therefore, we will closely monitor the progress of these changes and, if necessary, make adjustments and subsequent changes.

The water flow from waterlogged blocks and the durability of the Elytra will not be activated/increased again for the time being. First, the nerf will be reviewed in its current form, and then the promised changes will be implemented retrospectively.

Enough talk!
Now we hope you enjoy playing the new update and look forward to your feedback :)

Best regards

Your GommeHD.net Team
