Kit Spleef Map Wiki

Kit Spleef is a high-energy minigame map designed by RavbugAnimations, specifically updated for modern Minecraft versions including 1.20.1. Unlike traditional Spleef, where players simply dig snow to drop opponents, Kit Spleef introduces a class-based system where players choose from various kits, each possessing unique tools and game-changing special abilities.

The map supports an unlimited number of players and includes a robust AI system, allowing for single-player practice or filling out multiplayer matches with 'Computer-Controlled Undead Spleefers.' With a deep settings menu, players can toggle everything from sudden death TNT rain to terrain generation, ensuring no two matches are identical.

Players can select from six distinct kits, each tailored to a specific playstyle. As players dig snow during the match, their XP bar fills. Once the required level is reached, they can activate a powerful Special Ability.

Kit Details

• Snow Shoveler: The fastest digger. The Ground Pound ability is excellent for clearing out groups of players standing on the same layer.
• Archer: Arrows naturally dig 3x3 holes upon impact. TNT Arrows upgrade this to a high-yield explosion.
• Demolitionist (Pyrotechnic): Creepers spawned by this kit will actively track targets before exploding.
• Teleporter: Uses Ender Pearls for vertical and horizontal mobility. The Place Swapper is a high-risk, high-reward move to save yourself from falling.
• Beastmaster: The Despawn Egg blinds and nauseates nearby players, making it difficult for them to dig or move accurately.
• Builder: The only kit capable of placing blocks. Magic Boots allow for 'bridge-walking' over empty space to escape certain death.

Winning Conditions

The objective is to be the last player standing on the snow platforms. Players who fall through the bottom layer into the void (or designated 'dead zone') are eliminated. If Players Take Damage is enabled, players can also be eliminated through combat or environmental hazards.

XP System

Special abilities are fueled by digging. Every block of snow destroyed contributes to the player's XP bar. This encourages active participation rather than 'camping' in a corner. Once the XP bar reaches the threshold for the selected kit, the ability item is granted to the player's inventory.

Sudden Death

To prevent stalemates, the Sudden Death mechanic can be enabled. After a customizable duration, TNT begins to fall from the sky, rapidly destroying the remaining arena until only one player remains.

The 'Settings Wall' in the lobby allows hosts to fine-tune the experience. These settings are persistent and can be reset at any time.

• CPU Players: Toggle AI-controlled undead spleefers. You can customize the number of opponents in single-player mode.
• Random Item Jukeboxes: Summons jukeboxes containing power-up items at regular intervals. Breaking the jukebox grants the item.
• Keep Loot: Determines if players retain items found in jukeboxes between rounds.
• Unbreakable Shovels: By default, most kits have golden shovels that break and recharge. This setting makes all shovels unbreakable.
• UHC Mode: Disables natural health regeneration, making every hit from creepers or TNT permanent.
• Kit Mixing: Allows or patches an exploit where players could drop kit items to combine them with other classes.
• Revenge Mode: Allows eliminated players to influence the game from the sidelines (e.g., throwing small hazards).
• See Players Through Walls: Gives all players the Glowing effect to prevent hiding.
• Motivational Chat: An automated system that sends humorous messages on behalf of the players during the match.

The map features a dynamic arena generator that supports different layouts and heights.

Level Modes

• Classic Mode: Generates a series of flat, rectangular snow platforms. Players can choose between 1, 2, or 3 layers of snow.
• Special Mode (Terrain): Generates complex terrain including staircases, walls, and small forts on each layer. This adds a verticality and cover-based strategy to the spleefing.

Environmental Options

• Day/Night Cycle: Enables the standard Minecraft time cycle. Lobby lamps will automatically illuminate when it becomes dark.
• Time of Day: Allows the host to lock the match time to specific periods (e.g., Midnight, Noon, Sunset).

The map includes custom-coded AI 'Undead Spleefers' (Zombies/Skeletons) that act as opponents.

• Behavior: They will actively move toward players and dig the blocks beneath them.
• Difficulty: In newer versions (26.x), the AI difficulty can be adjusted to change their digging speed and movement patterns.
• Single-player Support: A dedicated single-player area allows you to fight against a customizable number of bots (adjustable by twos) to practice kit strategies.

To ensure the map functions correctly, the following technical configurations are required:

If hosting on a multiplayer server, ensure the following in server.properties:

• enable-command-block=true (Essential for all mechanics)
• spawn-protection=0 (Allows players to interact with lobby buttons and levers)
• allow-flight=true (Prevents the server from kicking players using certain movement abilities)

Compatibility

• Version: Specifically designed for Minecraft. Using other versions may break command block chains.
• Plugins: It is highly recommended to play on a Vanilla server. Plugins like Essentials, WorldGuard, or ClearLag can interfere with the map's custom commands and entity management.
• Render Distance: A minimum render distance of 12 chunks is recommended to ensure all command blocks remain loaded during gameplay.
