This rework is aimed to essentially retain the old "pagodas" feel and gameplay but also improving the aesthetics, making it more culturally accurate, while tweaking the gameplay of the spawn and other small minor points. First of all, the gameplay of the spawn is changed to prevent swift respawns, which allows the recovery to easily intercept the flag carriers multiple times successively. This was fixed by making it take longer to get out of spawn, which nerfs the recovery. Another gameplay fix is to make the high ground more accessible by making the height a block lower, and added sponges. The areas on the side are easier to get to because of the stairs. In the grass areas, the terrain was made to be smoother, and we got rid of the grass (tall grass and normal grass and flowers) to better the pvp experience. Furthermore, to negate fall damage when moving up and down certain heights, there are lime carpets which have two blocks of soulsand underneath. This ensures that no fall damage is taken, but at the same time, treading the carpet would not slow down movement. Finally, the wells near the flag room have been changed so you cannot camp in the water anymore.

 

The heads in spawn are there to make going up the stairs easy but making sure it's not campable either, the rest are more.. aesthetic. If there are any lag problems I can reduce the amount of heads if needed .
