Battle Box is a round-based PvP/CTO game on MCC Island, which was introduced in Patch 0.1.0, with the release of the server.
Official Description
An epic PvP-centric game - think capture the flag but in quick-fire rounds! Pick your specialist combat kit, unique to each map, and get ready for a fight! As a team of 4, battle it out against the other teams to fill a central capture point and win the game!
Gameplay
Battle Box is a round-based team game, which involves capturing a central objective of 9 concrete blocks before the other team. Each game consists of four teams of four facing off in three 1-minute rounds. The team with the most score at the end of the game wins.
In order to win a round, teams must either completely fill the capture point with their coloured concrete blocks, or have more blocks placed than the other team. Killing the opposing players is not required to win the round, but awards some score. If neither team places any blocks or the same amount of blocks are placed by each team at the end of the round, the round is declared a draw.
The capture point is locked for the first ten seconds of each round, meaning the concrete blocks can not be broken.
At the start of the game, players can choose one of five different kit types relating to a specific play style. Each kit provides players with items relating to that specific play style and changes depending on the map being played. Depending on the kit and the map that's being played, they can provide the player with weapons, potions, arrows, sparks or orbs. Players can also pick up items within the maps to offer even more versatility in combat.
Score is awarded as so:
- 45
for personal eliminations.
- 480 (120 for each team member) to the team that captures the objective, or has the most blocks in the objective.
Combat Items
Orbs
Orbs are similar to potions in that they apply effects when they're thrown, but they're unique in that they can be thrown much further and have a much larger radius. They also can have timed delays before applying their effect.

Kits
At the start of the game, players can choose one of five different kits. Each kit provides players with unique items, such as crossbows, potions and cobwebs, relating to that specific play style and changes depending on the map being played. Kits cannot be changed after the game starts, but the player's items refill after each round.
There are 7 kit types in Battle Box, each with different strengths and weaknesses. The main difference between each kit is its weapons. All kits contain infinite concrete blocks, Leather Boots, and an Efficiency II Iron Pickaxe.
Baller - Using your selection of orbs, control the battlefield with area effects!
(Focused on orbs and defense)
Flanker - Dart behind the enemy and catch them off-guard using your agility!
(Focused on speed and offense)
Gadgeteer - Never be unprepared with a special gadget for every occasion!
(Focused on traps and placeables)
Healer - Keep yourself and your team in fighting shape to outlast the enemy!
(Focused on support)
Scrapper - Hop into the fray and face your enemies head-on!
(Focused on close-quarters)
Sharpshooter - Precision is your trademark; keep your distance and shoot them down!
(Focused on range)
Trickster - Distract and disrupt the enemy with your stealth and tricks!
(Focused on sneaking)
Each map contains a selection of five of these types. Additionally, they each have different default items, given to players regardless of their kit, and the same kit on different maps may contain slightly different items to account for the gameplay differences of each map.
The list of default items, selection of kits and individual items within each kit can be found below.
