One match. Two passes. One survivor.
01
Prepare, then follow a refuge
You have 30 seconds to prepare at your starting camp before four safe circles begin moving. Each has a 50-block radius and protects every player. Follow the compass and on-screen direction; a particle trail helps you return if you leave.
02
Gather and craft over two passes
Each pass lasts 240 seconds. The first is peaceful; player combat begins on the second. Starting camps provide wood, food, stone, coal and iron resources. Use normal Minecraft recipes to craft equipment up to iron. Common supplies refill once when the second pass starts.
03
Meet in the middle
After two passes, refuges converge toward the centre. Change routes where they cross. The last survivor wins; after the 90-second final, remaining survivors draw.
Public forge, shared rewards
At a public forge, 4 raw iron and 1 coal become 4 iron ingots after 20 seconds. The result belongs to whoever collects it first. Craft your equipment from the ingots using normal recipes. Barrels are shared caches: everyone can deposit or take items, and their contents remain until someone takes them.
A stocked camp, protected scenery
Every starting camp has the basic gathering resources you need. Mine the marked resources; decorative blocks remain protected. Shared caches and forges are not private storage. The one common-supply refill does not refill caches.
Three worlds to discover
Explore the actual builds in 3D or as a tiny map. These are world renders, not concept art.
