Bowlly N Arcade

Welcome to Bowlly N Arcade! (Only for 1.20.2) A gamemode server that will not have any of the common modes others have.

BNA plans to add new experiences for players that are not your common skyblock, bedwars, etc. We are adding new things that either were abandoned or were too “experimental”

EX: Control Points (With classes), Elytra Races, Payload, Zombie Wave Gamemode, etc.

Some come and test some stuff on: BNA!
