    Hello all,

    Here at Brawl, we are constantly looking at new ways to improve your experience. It has come to our attention that tracking is far too hard for newer player to grasp, and this was due to the difficulty of making trackers, rather than understanding them.

    We decided to take a look at which blocks we felt were under appreciated, yet accessible to all players. After much discussion, we found the block we were looking for - Right under our feet, literally.

    Dirt makes up 4% of our world, and is the source of most great builds on Raid

    First theorised by our long time player @Colonel_Graff (https://www.brawl.com/threads/55767/) 2 years ago to this day, we have decided to bring this long overdue tracker design into the game.
    [​IMG]

    Dirt Tracker
    Middle: Log
    Arms: Dirt
    Ends: Cobblestone
    Extra: Temporary

    We felt that dirt, being the wonderful block that it is, should have a very special function on the tracking scene, so you will be glad to know you're days of searching 50x50 or 25x25 areas are over. Now you can narrow your enemies down to a meticulous 5x5 area with ease. Compatible with most current trackers, you can narrow to 500x500, and build a dirt temp tracker to get your enemy's base exactly.

    Brawl does not take any responsibility if the map ends before you finish building one of these.

    But we thought, why stop there? Narrowing down to 5 may be great for precision, but that still doesn't help more players being able to track the map. We went back to the drawing board and after days of discussion, we were shown a sign. During a voice chat, Carnotauros was heard munching his way through a watermelon, and that's when it hit us!

    Featuring the humble melon - A stable among jungle dwellers, this fruit is used throughout the world, for farms, soup, and now, trackers.

    Melon Tracker
    Middle: Redstone Block
    Arms: Melon
    Ends: Pumpkin

    We thought it only right to introduce this new tracker to the game by replacing spawn's outdated iron tracker with this powerful monster. At 500 tracked blocks per block, we feel this will really inspire those melon lovers of the world to get into tracking. And lets be honest, who doesn't like melons.

    We look forward to seeing what new designs you come up with for these, and that they make you want to start tracking.

    Hope you enjoy!

    I feel like this will get a lot more people into tracking, and make tracking more accessible to the masses.

    I’ll definitely build some melon trackers! Great changes guys!

    I can assure you that this isn’t an April fool. If you don’t like this update feel free to PM me or any other staff member. If we get enough complaints we will look into it.

    This favors the farmers of raid too much and I therefore find this change racist.
