    PARTY DELUXE RELEASE
    Hi everyone!

    Today, the legacy of MinecraftParty continues with a new chapter: Party Deluxe. With many many staff members and developers involved in the process of making this update possible, we're so happy and proud to finally be able to present the final product to you all. The completely re-coded version of Party brings classics from the past as well as brand new features to the table, so you are in for a treat. Follow along this big changelog if you wish. If you just want to explore it yourself, you can hop onto minecraftparty.com now!

    New games
    Let's get to the most important part right away: the new games! These are based off of ideas from the community and staff:
    • Bomb Arena
    • Bouncing Balls
    • Buddy Bounce
    • Cake Gunner
    • Crafting Chaos
    • Ghast Ball
    • Guardian
    • Hide & Seek
    • Lasertag
    • Maze Game
    • Smash
    • Riptide
    • Where's Wally

    Reworked games
    There are quite a few gamemodes which you will recognize if you played Party before! We modernized the following games to give them a fresh touch:
    • Animal Race (previously called Horse Race, now with more animals!)
    • Boat Race (some of you may remember this from way back in the day, and now it's back!)
    • Diamond Mine (now with TNT blocks!)
    • Frogger (another classic returning to Party!)
    • Musical Minecart (yet another classic returning to Party!)
    • One in the Chamber (now with respawning!)
    • Snowball Fight (now with respawning!)
    • Chicken Game (new mobs!)

    Removed games
    With every end, there's a new beginning. The following games didn't live up to our standards (and community feedback) and have been removed:
    • Assassin
    • Potion Drop

    Party coins
    This is one of the features that we kept from the old game, but completely reworking it! You earn coins by simply playing games, the higher you rank, the more you get. You can use coins to buy Powerups and other cool items in-game using /shop.
    We have a 2x Coins Booster available on our shop.

    Party stars
    This is a new currency which you may recognize if you played the beta. Getting stars is a bit harder than getting coins: the #1 of a game receives 3 stars, #2 gets 2 stars, and #3 gets 1 star.
    The purpose of the stars is to determine the overall winner of the game. What do I mean with that? With this update, rounds are introduced. 5 rounds with 7 games each are played, then the game ends. Whoever collected to most stars are those 5 rounds wins the entire game and gets a nice coin and rank point bonus.
    That being said, the stars reset after the game ends!
    You can see the current leader by pressing tab, theres a star symbol with a number behind every player's name. There are also Top 3 NPCs in the lobby to show who is currently leading.

    Party ranks
    If you read the above segment closely, you noticed that I mentioned ranks. This is another new concept, so let me explain. Firstly, they are disconnected from our server ranks such as VIP, etc. There are 11 ranks:
    • Goomba
    • Boo
    • Rosalina
    • Peach
    • Yoshi
    • Luigi
    • Waluigi
    • Wario
    • Bowser
    • Donkey Kong
    • Mario
    You start off as a Goomba and work your way up from there. Every rank has a cool color and is visible in chat and the tablist, see the colors below. You rank up by collecting rank progress points, which you can do as follows:
    • 3 points for coming in #1
    • 2 points for coming in #2
    • 1 point for coming in #3
    • 0.5 point for playing a game
    • 5 points for playing 5 rounds
    We have a 2x Rank Progress Booster available on our shop as well.

    Powerups
    In case you didn't spot your favorite game above, don't worry! Most games have new Power-Ups to enhance your gameplay! You can simply buy these in-game in /shop using coins.
    Want to kickstart your Party games right away? Check out the Ultimate Powerup Pack on the store.

    Items
    Not only can you use Powerups now, we have a nice collection of cosmetic items for extra style points. Just like Powerups, you can buy these in-game in /shop using coins.
    We also have different Cosmetic Packs on the store to get you started right away if you wish.
    Oh, and here's a list of which items you can unlock:

    • Victory Effects
    • Elimination Cries
    • Projectile Trails
    • Lasertag Lasers
    • King of the Hill Item Skins
    • Racing animals
    • Lobby items
    Map making
    During the beta, we introduced a system which allows you to submit your own map for a gamemode! All gamemode maps are fully configurable using signs. This allows us to frequently add maps without much effort. We plan to do this once a month (also with new games in the future!) given there's enough material. If you're talented at building, I encourage you to check out this thread for more information. Of course, we have rewards for you in store if your maps gets accepted: 1 week of global ELITE, 1h 2x coins booster, a map creator medal on the forums.

    Game & map feedback
    Of course we're interested in hearing your thoughts. Regarding map and game feedback, there is now a voting system in place, which allows you to rate them by simply clicking in chat. Based on this feedback, we may remove or alter games/maps (Potion Drop was removed due to a bad game rating).
    For any other matters, perhaps suggestions, we welcome you to join the Party Community Discord, where you can get in touch with staff easily.

    Achievements
    Finally we also have achievements on Party! There are over 160 achievements waiting to be completed. You can see all achievements and your progress using /av party. There is also a current goal hologram in the lobby where you can see your game progress.

    Quick commands
    If you play CTF, these seem very familiar to you (if you don't, you should!). You can unlock quick commands with coins using
    /qcmd.

    Updated spectator mode

    Previously your movement as a spectator was very limited, this is now updated and giving you all the freedom you want. You can also spectate permanently by doing /spec.

    Respawning & better game joining
    In order to give everyone what they came for, we made a couple games (elimination based games) less frustrating by making them point based instead and adding a respawn system. If you get eliminated, you can simply click to respawn in 3 seconds and continue playing!
    On top of that, you no longer have to wait for point based and race games to end until you can play.


    Hey content creators!
    Thank you for making videos on our servers, it really helps us out! In order to possibly make your experience a bit better, we added
    /hidechat to hide messages from players but still receive game relevant messages. Feel free to reach out to us if you have any issues.



    That's it everyone! To be fair, there are a couple of details left out because they're too minor to list, so please check it out yourself on minecraftparty.com or /play party. See you all around on the servers!
