I seriously do not understand the Minestrike community, it seems like most peoples logic to make the game better is just 'copy CSGO in every way you can', even when a difference between the two isn't causing problems.

Plus, if MS perfectly copies CSGO.... Then why not just play CSGO? You run into limitations on Minecraft as a client, and then its just CSGO but with worse graphics and a much lower tickrate.

I mean, if your computer is so bad that you cant run CSGO, no way you are able ot be running Minecraft at a 60+ FPS rate

Maybe it’s because MS is literally supposed to be a MC version of CSGO? If it’s based off of CSGO a lot of non CSGO things are actually an issue to the game (bullets not being instant, random recoil, bullets being affected by gravity, and third person perspective).

MS is a CSGO parody not CSGO, making it more like CSGO would sure make it more accurate, but if the point is to just copy CSGO in every way possible- Its not its own game, and there is virtually no reason to play MS in the first place if you also have CSGO.

Yes, bullet falling is a bad mechanic (for how it currently exists in MS, not in general- Games like Overwatch, Battlefield, and Arma3 all use non-hitscan weapons, a weapon having travel time doesnt make it 'random' and 'skill-less', its just more prediction based rather than reaction based), but like if I suggest a flamethrower- Even if its a perfectly reasonable, balanced suggestion the denial for it would not be 'well this seems like it would cause issues with the game' its 'it doesn't copy CSGO, so it cant be in the game' which is honestly just sad, because this narrow minded BS on how 'MS has to be just like CSGO!' just limits creative freedom for MS to be enjoyable as its own game.

Did you Know?
In Cake Wars, floating 'Cake' platforms periodically spawn around the map. On each, there is a chest- These chests can have varying items, from emeralds to weapons, however there is currently a rare chance of the chest having a speed potion inside.

This is a pretty rare chance, so don't expect to be getting it with much of any consistency- But there is a chance to find this rare beauty, and if you get multiple that could well set a Mineplex WR.

I found 2 in one game what’s the WR at

No data here

Right after the update I played a game of CW. First chest I got had a speed pot in it. That platform was even 1 jump away from my team's base. Of course, as soon as I take that single jump, I get hit with an arrow midair. -_-

(Merry Christmas and happy new year, BTW)

'aw yeah, bows are so skillful man, you have to actually AIM them, and uh.... They aren't... that good in close range? and um, uh... they restrict movement! Yeah! Because you can't sprint! So uh, yea- Bows require SO much real SKILL to use compared to swords!'

People who say stuff like this are honestly a little bit hilarious.

Swords also require aim, jussayin'

Dec 30, 17 · +1 · Like · Report

If so, I never said that swords don't require skill, I'm saying that bows require a lot MORE skill, compared to swords, which is just aiming a little and swinging, compared to a bow, where you have to be smart about so much more than just a bow. They both require skill, but bow is a lot more skill involved. No one goes around saying "sword-spammer"

I never said they didn't, bows just require more

Was just saying, you had made a comment about how sword don't require aim (in the post I saw), this was also mainly in general- Ive seen people say a lot worse, and I had just felt like mentioning it here after I saw yours.

Both swords / bows have intricacies in how you use them- Inherently firing a bow is very easy, same as clicking to swing a sword. But effectively using either is a completely different thing, with bows you have aim correction from distance, movement input, and a small bit of movement prediction- Not physically demanding, but does require some experience. Swords require more mechanical movement to effectively combo, and can require more drastic changes in aim (and a lot more raw MECHANICAL aim is required to combo / land consistent sword hits than a bow).

I get the argument for bows requiring MORE skill, but its not entirely true- Both (effectively using a bow and effectively playing melee) require different skillsets, so while you can compare them to some degree.... Its a pretty limited comparison either way, and IMO you cant really say 1 objectively requires MORE skill (because again, the difference(s) between a player who is bad with a bow and one who is good with a bow is very different than that of players who are good at melee vs. those who aren't).

That is your opinion, and I respect it. In mine, however, I think that bows require tons more skill than swords. I get what you are saying, and I agree, but there is just so much more to a bow than their is to a sword, so I think otherwise.

Opinions are still based on fact. If my opinion is that I have a green beard, my opinion is still completely incorrect.

Jan 4, 18 · +0 · Like · Report

Opinions cannot be proven... facts are things proved to be true... you can't say that you have a green beard if you don't have a beard colored green period. It can be proven that your beard is green, or that it isn't. You can't have an opinion saying something proved to be wrong. It is a fact that both swords and bows require skill, but it is my opinion that bows require more. A test can be done with players never learning/playing Minecraft versus players having practiced the game to gather skill, and prove that one is better than the other. You cannot prove, however, that a bow requires less/more skill than a bow. You can find millions of people saying swords require more skill, and only one saying bows need more skill, but you can't prove it with tests. It is still just an opinion.

TRIPLE JUMP IS BROKE LOL

You can triple outside of SSM- Anything with similar DJ mechanics allows it.

Triple Jump in OITQ?!

Apparently, not only can you triple jump in SSM, but also in games outside of SSM that have similar double jump mechanics...

Quality updates! (Copied from Discord):

- Cake Wars 1.2 Update #pc-cake-wars
- - New Achievement Kit: Frosting (You get snowballs!)
- - Replaced the Punch IV bow with Power IV because we dont know how to Minecraft apparently
- - Stopped our shop villagers from hiding rebel scum
- - Hid the hammers next to anvils so you can't use them anymore.

- Survival Games Fixes #pc-survival-games
- - Stopped players from gathering the powers of the horse gods by getting a second one somehow
- - Gave the Beast Master's wolfs more treats so they wont attack teammates anymore (unless you're really tasty)
- - The SG fix everyone has been waiting for, Beast Master Wolf's are now colored based on your team
- - Talked to the devil and told him to stop making Necromancer Skeleton's attack teammates
- - ^ He also gave us cake and made the skeletons teleport to you when you are far away
- - Recreated time and space to make deathmatch teleportation more uniform.
- - Barbarian's Cleave is less dumb like barbarians and disabled in the first 30 secs of the game

There were some other smaller changes, but these seemed (at least to me) to be the major ones.
