About MCBall -http://mcball.net Hi, I own http://mcball.net! MCBall is a Minecraft Paintball Capture the Flag server with many unique gameplay features. It is mostly undiscovered when compared to larger Minecraft servers but has been in constant development for years.

In-game IP:play.mcball.net

What is MCBall? Why is it unique?

MCBall, in its simplest description, is a completely custom Minecraft minigame that revolves around two teams, red and blue, trying to capture the other team’s flag and protect their own. The first to 3 captures wins the game, but it’s not that simple. Preventing you from capturing the enemy team’s flag is the entire enemy team armed with paintballs (snowballs) which kill on impact. When a person runs out of snowballs they must left click or press Q to reload. If a person dies he will respawn within 20 seconds at their team’s base. Also adding to gameplay mechanics arekits.

What are kits?

Kits are a large part of MCBall gameplay and add much variation and strategy. Any player can use one kit at a time and can select it by either /kit or clicking on the slimeball in their hotbar. Kits vary in what they do but they all influence playstyle and gameplay.Every kit has different killstreak effects at 3, 5 and 7 kills.

An example of a few kits are:

Sniper- Spawns with a rifle that can instantly kill a player being aimed at. Default of 30 second cooldown.

3 killstreak – Cooldown reduced to 20 seconds5 KS – Cooldown is 15 seconds7 KS – Cooldown is 10 seconds

Here is a video that a fan made of the sniper kit:http://youtu.be/oX1FvOXKOv0

Magneto- Can reflect paintballs back at attackers while reloading. Length of reflect depends on paintballs in inventory.

3 KS – You now gain the reflect effect when you return the flag. Lasts 3 seconds.5 KS – You now gain the reflect effect when you pick up a flag.7 KS – If you get hit by a snowball you will not die and your reflect will activate for 3 seconds. 30 seconds cooldown.

There are several more kits available for free and for donations. If you could pass me your ingame username I will unlock them all for you!
