Players Guide

Welcome to MCBall. Thank you for sharing an interest in our server!To join our server, simply type the IP play.mcball.net, and once you do so, you'll be taken to the hub - where there's parkour, mazes, and all sorts of amazing things. Once you are ready to actually play Paintball CTF, right-click on your compass and select either CTF1 or CTF2. Build and Tournament are exclusive to Build Team members and Tournament participants.

Once you join CTF1 or CTF2, you will join a CTF server with a game running or waiting for another round. In the inter-game lobby, there are the Top 3 Leaderboards, basic information, and four different parkours. For more information concerning the lobby, go here.

Rounds & Teams
The plugin uses snowballs as paintballs, and at the beginning of each round you will have 64 paintballs. Right-click as fast as you can to throw a paintball, which if aimed at the opposite team, may kill a player. Left-Clicking, hitting q on one of the paintballs, or running out of paintballs will make you reload. It takes five seconds by default for you to reload so make sure you don't get hit!

Capture the Flag
Once you get hit by a single paintball (or two if you're utilizing Protection kit), you will be sent to the deathbox for ten seconds, and then go back to the battlefield to fight others. The game ends when either team captures three flags securely and first, or if the 30 minute time limit has been reached.

Inter-Game Wait Lobby
Once a match has ended, you will be sent to the inter-game Lobby, or shortened to Lobby, for two minutes until another round begins. You will also get PPs depending on what you did last round (kills, winning, participation, etc.) There is no advantage for the winning team of the last round.

Note: The last time this page was edited, it still said "14 arenas, and still expanding"!

We currently have quite a few maps to chose from, but if you wish to submit one, submit one here (but read the guidelines first!)

Team Layout
There are two teams; Red and Blue. Once a match begins, you will be teleported to your base and you will have leather armor colored to match your team colors. If you are still confused on what team

There are two teams: Team Red and Team Blue. Once a match starts you will be teleported into the teams starting corner and also have a colored leather tunic, leggings and boots. This will help you determine your teammates to your enemy. If you ever are confused what team you are on, check the right slot or your hot-bar and it will have a piece of wool with the color of the team you are on. Another way is to press the f5 key and look at your armour. The paintball plugin is customized so that it will auto balance the teams. If donators want a preference or just want to join the other team you use the command /red or /blue in between games.

Helmets
Your is a representation of your kill to death ratio in the game. (You can check your KD by doing /rank or /score followed by your IGN)

Maps
If you think you can make a great arena for this server post it here. 

On MCBall we try to give a wide variety of different maps to give players more experience in different conditions. Maps have to teams, one red and one blue. At the start of the match you will be automatically assigned to a team or if you are a donator you can choose your team by typing /red or''' /blue. Some donaters can also vote for the map of their preference by typing /vote '''. To get a list of all maps available you can type /vote list.
