Dynaball

Dynaball is a casual PvP game on MCC Island, which was introduced in Patch 0.12.0.

Official Description

Two teams of eight go head to head in this highly charged PVP game. Players must defend their territory, all the while attacking the enemy team with TNT and other fun gadgets to destroy their base and knock them into the void. The last people standing take the win.

Gameplay

Dynaball is a casual PvP game, which involves eliminating the players on the enemy team by way of destroying their platform whilst defending your own platform. The goal is to be the last team standing.

Two teams of 8 players spawn on identical platforms across the open void. Each player is equipped with a slingshot, which they can use to launch devastation to take out the enemy base.

The game consists of two alternating phases:

• Boom Phase (50 seconds) - players can launch TNT and traps onto the enemy base during this phase.
• Peace Phase (15 seconds) - players can patch up their base and build defences during this phase.

Players can obtain blocks for repairs from exploded sections and at the start of each Peace Phase, where they are given 6 additional blocks. Blocks can not be placed outside the building zone, which restricts players from bridging to the enemy's platform or too high above their own platform.

Every 10 seconds, crates consisting of two tiers (TNT and Loot) drop from the sky. Players can break them to receive Dynaballs and other items.

Excluding Dynaballs obtained from crates, there are a set amount of Dynaballs in play at one time - starting with 2, and then progressing to 4 and 6 in the third and seventh cycles respectively.
This means that, at the start of the game (and each time more Dynaballs are introduced into play), one player from each team is randomly selected to receive a Dynaball. Then, once a player uses their Dynaball, a random player from the enemy team is given a new Dynaball.

If a player holds onto a Dynaball for too long, it will warn the player before detonating. When detonated, it will knock the player back in a random direction.

Some maps contain sparkling blocks, which will grant players the levitation effect if blown up near them.

After 10 cycles of Boom and Peace phases, "TNT Time" starts. Crates stop spawning, and instead TNT does.

Game Passes/Dynaball

Early Version: Dynamite Dodgeball

An early iteration of Dynaball called "Dynamite Dodgeball" was played for the YouTube Gaming Event, Game On, on August 27th, 2022. This sparked discussion among MCC Island's community as to whether the game would come to the server.

Ten creators took part in two teams of 5:

• Blue Team - Dream, EyStreem, Fuze III, GeorgeNotFound and TommyInnit.
• Red Team - Gab Smolders, JackSepticEye, LaurenzSide, LDShadowLady and Sapnap.

The game had only two features at the time, both of which were expanded upon prior to Dynaball's actual release - Launching TNT with a slingshot and sticking players by landing TNT on them directly.

The first team to reach 2 round wins would progress to the final round, where only the losing team could launch TNT. The last player standing on the winning team was declared the "Dynamite Dodgeball Champion".

The event allowed the chat to choose between two Map Packs, "Castles" and "Pirate Ships," with "Pirate Ships" being the selected map pack. The maps from both packs resembled early versions of Armada, Battlement, Best Wall, and Bombardment.

Fuze III from the Blue Team emerged as the Champion, winning a pile of crowns and initiating a bonus round, in which he "dunked" all the other players by exploding their platform with TNT while standing on a throne.

The segment concluded with a small cutscene paying tribute to Technoblade, in which a pig picked up a crown from the pile and placed it on its head.

Update History

Open Beta
0.12.0	Added Dynaball
0.12.1	You can now use the off-hand in Dynaball. This does not include the Rocket Cannon which cannot be placed in the off-hand.
0.12.2	Some additional TNT crates will now drop when there are 2 Dynaballs in play (see the scoreboard for how many Dynaballs are in play).
	Increased Loot Crate drop rate slightly.
	All Sparks of Levitation are now Level III instead of II. This change means that these sparks will now more consistently save you from falling to your death.
	Multiple crates now drop together in groups, meaning it’s harder for one player to take the majority of the crates.
0.13.0	Introduced two new maps, XOXO and Jigsaw.
0.14.0	Introduced two new maps, Cauldron and Wickerman.
