Hardcore Games v1.0 - Out of Beta!

After many months of work, we have finally gotten the Hardcore Games out of beta. In doing this, we have changed the game immensely, based off of community feedback and ideas we have received. Without further ado, let's get to the changelog!

» Stats Tracking:
- The game now automatically tracks your stats! The stats from McPVP are not taking in count; everyone's back to zero. The following stats are tracked: kills, deaths, wins, losses, time played, top 10 games, best position. We are currently working on adding a stats page on the website, but for now you can use the /profile command to check your stats or someone else's.

Spoiler: /profile command

Note: we still have the stats from McPVP but have decided not to merge them with the new ones.

» New Kits:
- The 3 following kits were added to the game! They are currently in preview mode; only VIPs+ will be able to try them out in the following week. They will be after that available in the shop for everyone.

• Toolmaster
  • You start off with a special, unbreakable wooden pickaxe. When you right-click it, it becomes successively a wooden axe, a wooden shovel, and back to a pickaxe. The tool is enchanted with Efficiency II and is unbreakable. In fact, all of your gear is unbreakable; the armor you wear and the weapons you use in combat don't take ANY damage!
  • Idea by @Mattyz_
• Philosopher
  • You start the game with a special gem which has a unique ability: right-clicking it will turn 12 iron ingots from your inventory into 1 diamond! Use it to craft superior loot, even before the Feast!
  • Idea by @Outrunner123
• Airdrop
  • You start with a airdrop signal. Right-click it to summon an airdrop, which will fall from the sky and land as a chest filled with loot right next to you. The items are random, and can vary from food to iron ingots, and even to golden apples if you are lucky enough! You start with 1 airdrop use, and receive an additional one each time you kill a player.
  • Idea by @Rytheria

- The kit creators were given the kits they helped us design. Many thanks to @Mattyz_ who dug throught the old threads to bring up the two last, he also receives the kits. If you have a kit idea, feel free to share it on the server ideas section, or submit it directly to us privately here. If your kit is accepted, you will receive it when it is implemented!
