#and teamwork

The current games are in 3 different 'categories': PVP, last man standing and teamwork.

PVP is obviously battle box, survival games and sky battle, where the players must always fight to the death (or launch themselves into the void).

Last man standing would be games like Hole in the Wall, TGTTOSAWAF, Ace Race and Rocket Spleef, where there is only one solo winner.

Teamwork would be Buildmart, Meltdown, Grid Runners and Sands of Time, where the goal is ultimately to collect coins and work together with full cooperation.

While Meltdown could count as PVP, its balanced enough that teamwork is more of a priority. Parkour Tag also works as a mix of all three.

Buildmart evens out the playing field, as 3 of the current 12 games are solely pvp related, not counting games like parkour tag, where the player is constantly concentrating on running from a hunter, or tgttosawaf/rocket spleef, where there are always hands beng thrown

It is one of the few games with no pvp at all, no players constantly punching each other, and that can be a welcome break for some participants, especially people who just want to chill, they can just place blocks

Contrary to popular belief, it is not just a building game. Buildmart is focused on teamwork, and comes into the same category as something like Sands of Time, but is solely peaceful.

Yet because it is just a building game, some people really dislike it

I dont understand why! (Well I do, its because some of the participants unfairly criticise Buildmart in comparison to almost every other game, and I dont want to be mean or rude because obviously Buildmart isn't going to be everybody's cup of tea, but come on! It's one game!)

Of all the participants, there are many who come from backgrounds of PVP or Building or Speedrunning or Variety. Some even do all of them!

There's games for people who constantly do PVP fights, who know exactly the correct timing to get the perfect crits and the best angle to fire a bow at

There's games for the hunters, for people who know exactly where to time a 4 block jump, who can perfect their mouse movements to never stop running

Theres games for people who thrive in multifaceted games, where every action is different and a bit of a challenge, but not so much so that its frustrating

And the Builders have Buildmart, which in its consistant updates, is beautiful, has creative yet simple builds, clearly labelled sections for materials and inspires talking and cooperation

But only Buildmart is, for lack of better terms, absolutely shat on.

While yes, some games are moaned at when they come up for personal preference, like Battle Box for a non-PVP team, I've never seen a game hated more than Buildmart (except maybe Parkour Warrior but thats a whole other can of worms, also as it's been removed for quite a while and doesn't seem to be coming back (Apollo dont interact))

Despite the fact that it's a game that evens the playing field a lot for players who just like to chill and make things in minecraft, which I can also assume is many fans favourite thing to do

Ig that's about it, even though I've probably forgotten some stuff but hey, theres some things
