TERRA: "Battling Bridges" Gameplay / Dev Commentary - Java 1.20.4 / BB 1.4.6 / 5/25/2024
2https://www.discord.gg/FqUUe4gJaW
A fun gamemode a friend (CalmMagma) and I made that we host on Terra, my in-development Minecraft SMP network! The initial concept was inspired by a gamemode on a closed minigames network called The Bridges (or something like that). It is not inspired by Bed Wars / Egg Wars, nor is it trying to be.
The gist of the mode is it's classic Red vs. Blue, with kits inspired by the mercenaries from TF2. Both teams have a "Nexus" they must defend, and throughout the ~1 hour match time, there are different stages that activate which affect the match.
This is raw gameplay. Feel free to skip my ranting about command block post-match. Also, there is a 2.0 update coming with a brand-new console powering the whole thing, new map types, etc.
