Well fgeto just told my the news... I was gonna write on the forum but they don't care I'm not surprised since they been killing towers off for years but since it's literally the only game that I come and play I guess they have killed me off two Hurmitcurtis/misswhiskers, raccoobee catch you around cube the last 7years was fun 😊

Very sad to see the Java side of Cubecraft start to undergo changes that will take away my favorite game, Tower Defense. Spent countless hours on it and have many good memories.
However, instead of just letting it happen, I at least wanted to do one last thing, and that was get on the leaderboard (thank you @mental nacelle for telling me it exists lol )
Finally did it, right before the end
This also taught me that CubeCraft cannot keep proper track of games played haha (I was at 1114 games played when I hit 1k wins)

Let’s just say I probably won’t be on the java version as much either after they get removed
sweet wharf
Why remove eggwars maps, people bought ranks to have everything. and every update is just a downgrade where we get less. Its good like it is now why again a downgrade? or make ranked people chose what maps open and not random. idk but this sorry Cubecraft but now you are just destroying the server yourself(again)
green tusk
The bedrock version right now is at a better spot then java but if the goal is to grow the server having less games won’t help as more players will leave
Overall I don’t think it’s a good decision but it’s not going to change
ashen trellis
Yeah they both are
yeah i know :(
what is going to happen with the ranks? at least we will get some kind of compensation right? like money back or bedrock ranks?
green tusk
Don’t know
My guess is probably not though unless it closes fully they might offer something on bedrock
Hive offered there java players who bought stuff for java there rank for free on bedrock
(When hive closed in 2020)
sweet wharf
bedreock is just the baby edition of java and its so sad its taking over
If java changes
I want my money from dia rank back
river aspen
While it obviously sucks and I absolutely do not care for Bedrock either, getting money back isn't gonna happen not a reasonable request (unless you bought a rank in the last few months honestly, but doubt Cubecraft is gonna care).
sweet wharf
just dont get it
they are just destroying their own server
all the people who bought ranks and supported by that the server cant say anything
we dont want this update
cube is just chosing it itserf
just a shot in their own legg

Cubecraft Java is already struggling, probably has been for a long time... years ago they already did a similar downgrade to the Java server (not as severe as this, but same principle). Running a server isn't free. Through things like this they are cutting operating costs. Whether it's gonna help or make it worse in the future remains to be seen. I suspect it won't get better, we sooner see the server close.

The plan is not to remove it permanently. The java server costs more money than that it makes, so we are removing games to make running it cheaper. We will try to bring the playercount back, and if that happens, the modes will be brought back

Part of the situation revolves around the fact that many of the games being removed did not start in all hours of the day, which meant that new players joining the server and playing those games during those hours would become disinterested and leave, since the games were not very active
The idea is that by limiting our game library to those that the community play the most means that new players will have a far more pleasant experience on the server and are more likely to continue playing and rejoin in the future
Try putting yourself in the shoes of a new player: you join the server for the first time and see a game that looks fun, you hop in it but it takes 2 minutes to start and it ends up only having a fraction of the max players it can support. Chances are that new player won't stick around all too much and will go elsewhere
But in the situation where they join a game that is active and starts quickly, the player experience in general is far better and that player is likely to stick around quite a bit longer
native grail
@thin musk you could have added a calling thing like other servers got for people to join empty games anyway I'm bored now of this justification it is what it is neve mind putting ourselves in the shoes of new players you won't have new player before long to worry about that issue 😊

I'm in the top 100 agg wars players in the world and it makes me sad to see what they want to do with my game.
I'm sorry, but this can happen to absolutely any game and I sincerely want to believe that with Agg Wars the solo will remain in the form in which it is now.
Unfortunately, the completely different fact that scares me is that instead of my favorite mini-game, absolutely any game can disappear,
I believe that after the update on September 5, the fate of the server will be decided,
Unfortunately, when these games disappear, many players will leave immediately, and the online server will crash even less frequently.

I want my rank money back
if it's been more than a certain time frame then it's unlikely you'll get it back
but anyway, i think i'll post something on forums later about this because this is all too painfully familiar to me as an ex-hive java player, but i just hope this community doesn't rebel and complain to the devs until they destroy what's left of the server, and i hope the devs don't give up on java just because it's not doing well and end up becoming bedrock only (because i'm gonna be honest, bedrock just isn't the same.)
one thing the devs need to know is that it is so important to listen to the community, the people who play these games constantly. don't just focus on trying to attract new people in and change games in the hopes more new players would enjoy the game, a non-updated game is much better than a broken game. and the important thing is that new players feel welcomed into the community, and that's only going to happen when the regulars are happy with the game and genuinely enjoy what they have, instead of trying to deal with a game they used to enjoy but now only play because they have nowhere else to go.
that said, i know halloween is not cancelled, and i've been looking forwards to ender for a whole year, so.... don't let me down? :')

Diamond axe on Java is 9 damage and critical is 13.5 damage.
Critical diamond axe gives an extra 4.5 damage.
Smite 20 does 50 extra damage on undead.
So the Smite 20 diamond axe does the total of 59 damage on hit or 63.5 damage with a Smite 20 diamond axe using critical hit.
With strength 2 active, it’ll be like 6 extra damage applied to all weapons.
Diamond axe with strength 2 active is 15 damage total and 22.5 with critical hit.
Critical hit with strength 2 diamond axe does an extra 7.5 damage.
The most powerful weapon in CubeCraft Skyblock would be an outstanding 65 damage or if you critical hit, you’ll get 72.5 damage! Super crazy on damaging!!!
Use the calculator to divide the damage values by 2 to convert them into real health like hearts.

exactly, they need to completely rebuild it, but it doesn't mean to destroy it completely
they commited a huge mistake when they updated fully to 1.9 in 2016, they had to retract their decision and split up the network into 2 separate servers, the 1.8 network and the 1.9 network
when the 1.8 network got removed cubecraft used to peak at more than 5k players

bleak pulsar
that's exactly what the most successful servers are doing
they support higher versions
but their servers are not fully updated to the latest version
this can be done on bedrock
because it's easier to run for lower end devices and the pvp mechanics don't change

yeah, I don't criticise that as it's much easier to make money there. But their decisions regarding the java network are just horrible.

So sad to hear about the removal of games 😦
Anyone know any other good servers with a TD gamemode?
sharp rapids
Cubecraft had the best mini games ever. Even brought in popular streamers, Vikkstar123, PrestonPlayz and others (when they were actaully making great content, not kid based srcipts). It created the eggwars game mode which mineplex, hypixel and lifeboat copied because it was such a great idea! Now the home of MinerWare, fun little Microgames and that. The fact that the Java edition of the server might shut down because of lack of growth is sad.

Not only that, I’ve seen each community of the games that cube is retaining, complaining about their choice of solo/team and maps
Lucky Islands is more of a team game, people like duo egg/lucky, and team SkyWars

I personally have never been a PVP player much, so it’s sad to see Cube getting rid of the only non PVP games they had to set them aside

They could have shortened the timer (to start a game) to ½ or a ⅓, if they were worried about non-starting games.
You could argue with "playing games with just a few people isn't fun" but some games are, such as Minerware for example, which pretty popular.
For Tower Defence you also don't need many, if teams are balanced.
Plus, I read somewhere, that reducing maps, won't reduce the costs of running the Java Network.

And those are the few non-PvP based games
Except a few micro games in minerware but still, there are tons of non-PvP microgames where you can get points
I don't think, going full on ome method is the solution.
I think it's better to place your bet on different solution/methods, to reduce the chance of failing.
More methods doesn't mean that failure will be 0% but it will be reduced.
Betting on only one method can be a very risky gamble, as in this case for example.
hybrid grove
Like what kinda different solution/methods, its easy to say you dont agree
but do you have a better solution?
cubecraft is dying, without the changes
rocky mason
It would be a combination of several methods.
-
Remove the really really dead games.
(Team SkyWars (I don't know the situation about other games) -
Lower the starting timer to ½ games that aren't dead or something like that.
(Minerware, Tower Defence and featured games like Amomg Slimes for example). -
Lower the total player count for certain maps but keep a variety of them.
Cube is already doing that partly in Team Egg Wars but they are only keeping 4er Maps.
I see no problem in keeping 3er or 2er maps, since 4er Maps can start, then surely 3er and duos can too, since they usually need less players.
Just remove the large maps.

what is the exact reason for TD removal?
mental nacelle
TD used to start under 4 players if someone left the game, now it won’t, things like that affect play time
“Inactive” as it had more players during egg wars yesterday
🤷🏻♀️
brave walrus
Maybe if TD was updated more than once a year it would have even more people
mental nacelle
Or if the update they implemented before (which was given as a “we have more in store”) wasn’t ridden with bugs either
rocky mason
They wouldn't update TD anyway, since it was Java-only
mental nacelle
Bugs they still have yet to address
Yup
Cross platform Java > bedrock is the priority for games
brave walrus
They're a network with over 20k users (from what I saw earlier) how hard is it to find a dev to recreate it?
mental nacelle
It isn’t, they just choose to main PVP because that’s the mainstream mini game set up
Sad to see such a unique and loved game be thrown out
brave walrus
If they actually announced properly that it was being removed they would've seen how popular it was

Honestly, the moment cubecraft bedrock reached for the first time 20k players, I knew the entire head-staff would put it's focus onto Bedrock and regard Java as a secondary thing, as long as it works
A year ago, they have stated that they would update to 1.12, to add new great features but I haven't seen so many, apart Seasonal Egg Wars or the one update in FFA
proper radish
If they actually announced **properly** that it was being removed they would've ...
Ik this happening is sad
But Actually it was not popular at all, Java server is totally dead
Bedrock (Eggwars) player Itself is more than the whole Java players,,
At 2014-2018 the Java server sometimes used to be full of players 5000+
But now days it’s dead sadly
brave walrus
Nah I understand the focus on bedrock
I just think killing a game before porting it over, when there is still a decently sized fanbase (that would only grow on bedrock) is a stupid move

Java may have less players but there are still some large servers with a solid player count.
Manacube for example. had a few years ago, only 500 players but now it has around 1500 players, sometimes even more.
It managed to grow despite the decline of Java

Well yeah you’re right, it’s a stupid move
This update won’t change anything anyways they just killed it more
rocky mason
I hope there was a vote
I think they do vote internally on such matters
Similar to the 1.12 update and the removal of 1.8

brave walrus
When are the games being removed?
cinder mirage
So sad about this. Minerware always starts quick. No reason to remove it. And why only 4 player maps in eggwars? This will be so boring now. I use to live in eggwars. And the most epic maps will be gone. I don't think cubecraft will survive this modification.
brave walrus
It won't and I think that's their plan tbh

Thank you for the memories CubeCraft, they were amazing while they lasted

As a developer, I'm actually excited to update our network to 1.19, fixing many bugs and allowing future development to be done faster and better.
mental nacelle
As a player, it's an emotional morning losing the game you've cherished for years
brave walrus
I completely support the focus on Bedrock, I logged on for the first time today and the lobby is amazing! I just hope someone can figure out a way to create Tower Defence on Bedrock.
mental nacelle
Seeing the attention TD has been given already, it's hard to have hope it could make a comeback as well
TD on Bedrock would be superb; I just hate to see it be so neglected for the past year plus. I'm sure it's more complicated coding but seeing waves of bugs be fixed/created/fixed again for other games is discouraging.
I hope to find a game or server that gives that same great mix of community/skill in the future
brave walrus
If this change isn't about saving money like has been said on the forum, I hope to see the Java version TD made open source if CubeCraft are 100% not bringing it back.
mental nacelle
I would hope to see such a thing if it's decided they will not be using it ever in the future
fleet owl
Td for Bedrock is one of those things the community wants badly but the staff are to blind to see
Prob neglect
mental nacelle
I could see it being quite popular on bedrock; there aren't other gamemodes like it
mental nacelle
Id assume none of those big bedrock servers have other games besides typical arcade style mini games/PVP copy pastes
brave walrus
They're sat on a goldmine but throwing it away 😂
fleet owl
It will be, look at how popular the game bloons tower defense is
mental nacelle
They're sat on a goldmine but throwing it away 😂
Because community engagement is hard I guess
Bloons pops off
With dedicated updates and new content, it could be a great contender for the top games played
and also a tutorial that isn't terrible
bronze wagon
^^^
mental nacelle
Cube really dropped the ball on the TD tutorial and anyone who has played more than 3 games would agree
fleet owl
Balance changes once every 2 months shouldnt be to hard, like a lot of mobile games do to keep their game interesting
granite compass
It's hard to find the words to respond with because I understand how you feel. Being able to focus on updating the server will massively improve the network for everyone. There's an FAQ on the forum post, I suggest giving that a read.
mental nacelle
What's sad is, I'd expect a response to b, "make a suggestion!" We have, we were told no. "Take a vote for what the community wants!" We did, we were told it was too time consuming
brave walrus
blink twice if tower defence is coming back
mental nacelle
I read it multiple times
I understand you may feel it'll improve the network for everyone, but not every single Java member I've spoken to in the last 5 days shares the same sentiment.
Actually, I have yet to find even 1 that supports this
bronze wagon
I understand the update is to improve the network + expand the future playerbase, but killing off the majority of the current playerbase doesn't seem like a wise decision
mental nacelle
Community engagement is important, but I guess we learned Cube didn't care about that with the fall of the ECO program
Ruin dedicated OG community < Find a few new members who probably won't stick around because the games are identical to every other PVP
fleet owl
Actually, I have yet to find even 1 that supports this
Neither the active staff members i ve spoken to seem to like it
mental nacelle
That's just sad really
fleet owl
*active in game on cube
rocky mason
It really feels like it is the final nail into the coffin but I also could be very wrong on that
bronze wagon
That being said, I appreciate all the hard work you've put into this server, driima. Thank you for trying and handling all this backlash. Nothing against you, but I personally don't support this decision
mental nacelle
I hope 1.19 is great for the server, I just don't think it'll contain anything for me or the fellow community members who are disheartened
brave walrus
Oh I am absolutely not trying to be disrespectful either, just really trying to understand why this was seen as the correct move.
Most of the TD players I've spoken to only play TD so it's not going to change waiting times very much.
Just a waste of money for us and less players for CubeCraft 😭
mental nacelle
Yeah unfortunately most TD players such as myself are dedicated to TD (and the occasional MinerWare game... but rip)
rocky mason
I wonder if they have checked who plays what game
brave walrus
I doubt they've done much research as they only gave 4 days notice.
fleet owl

mental nacelle
That's quite sad
brave walrus
I was telling everyone I could today when I found out

They're confused and probably think I'm trolling
That s the reaction i got 80% of the time
Dunno why they didnt announce it
rocky mason
most people i talked to, were surprised to and didn't believe me at first

well as far as Dubbz was able to test, path 1 and path 2 do indeed stack, not just 1 path 2 doing damage
granite compass
I understand. All I can say is being able to update the network to 1.19 opens up a huge opportunity for improving the current games, bringing back removed games, and making brand new games that hopefully everyone will love. I'm certainly very excited to do that. I don't need to be here explaining any of this, but I wanted to. Anyway, back to bug fixes! 🐛 🔧

This feels like a hint TD is coming back
I hope that's the case 😭
I'll take it with a pinch of salt
mental nacelle
I won't stay hopeful so I don't let myself down if it makes no comeback
"New Update! We re-added every game but TD"
fleet owl
It prob wont, or they would have to fully remake it since the code was different of what they were using and the ppl who used it left. (Smth like that not sure)

They should have announced it in the games itself.
Whenever someone joined one of the games that are going to removed.
They should have gotten a message such as,
"This game is going to be removed on Monday, the 5th September at 1PM BTS"

They already got the plugins for that, so I see no problem for doing that
rocky mason
They didn’t even announce it here in the server
I only knew about it randomly, when people about it were complaining last Friday in
however, only a few people check disc frequently
like a handful
mental nacelle
Yeah I was pinged about it by others
Just seems they could’ve avoided a little more miscommunication with 1 message here/in game
They added it to the update book thing but let’s be honest, everyone ESCs that
rocky mason
They added it to the update book thing but let’s be honest, everyone ESCs that
exactly.
The way I see it, most people who only play non-PvP games on cube, will quit
They may return, if cube decides to add them back in 1.19 or something
mental nacelle
Yeah unfortunately, a lot of non PVPers found a place in CC that they’ve lost
rocky mason
It's not the first time that cube does something radical like this
a year ago, they decided on removing the 1.8 Network
brave walrus
Did that remove any games though?
rocky mason
10% of the Java community were playing on 1.8
rocky mason
Did that remove any games though?
Nop but most games that were on 1.8, were PvP ones
mental nacelle
Yeah I remember everyone being upset about PVP shifting
rocky mason
When they removed the 1.8 Network, Cube peaked around 6k players but at the same time, Hyp was down for like a week
mental nacelle
YEAH I remember the hyp influx of players
Trying to fulfill their bedwars cravings

I've read the thread now but how is this going to increase the number of players on Java? If anything, I feel much less inclined to play on cube since most of my favorite games to play with my friends have been removed. They're only decreasing the amount of players joining the server by doing this. Also with the lack of informing of the players.

Sadly that's how a large consensus of the java community feels currently

The 1.12 Update was well announced (2 months prior to it) and it was mostly seen as a positive thing, except by the 1.8 community, because it came at the cost of them,
despite them making up 10% or something of the Java Community.
The Update to 1.19 was announced like 5 days ago but it is seen really mixed, because it also removed many communities, I don't know how many to be exactly but if I had to take a guess, quite some.

It did seem active enough that they could have kept it
bright gulch
The decision making hasn’t been great all around lately
green tusk
It also wasn’t announced well
bright gulch
Idk most of what’s been happening tho apart from the major changes
bright gulch
It also wasn’t announced well
It was only on forums or smth?
green tusk
Yep
I also think they used that update book thing ingame that most people don’t look at
But not on discord
bright gulch
rip
green tusk
Some also wanted it to be announced earlier then a few days before it would happen
bright gulch
Java mods will have almost nothing to do soon
green tusk
Now it’s just what they do when they update the server in four months
bright gulch
They’re adding new games or?
green tusk
Don’t know
bright gulch
Ah
bright gulch
Player count will be like 50 by then
green tusk
It will probably get lower in the future still above 1000 for now
bright gulch
What’s the peak player count roughly?
green tusk
Player count did increase a lot last year (I think it was) when hypixel was down for a week or so
And not big anymore but when hypixel went down then so did mineplex which left cubecraft as the last big/more known minigame server that was working
bright gulch
I don’t think there’s any more decent 1.9 servers
Apart from some smaller pvp servers that are competitive
Not enjoyable for a large amount of players
green tusk
Speaking of mineplex that’s actually worse then cube
green tusk
Yeah it is
bright gulch
Idc what people say but Java is just so much better than bedrock
limpid jacinth
Y’all just ruined everything and this was the only 1.9 pvp server stupid 1.8
bright gulch
Only problem is it’s less accessible
green tusk
Only reason I got bedrock was before I had my own pc plus my friends don’t have java
They all got bedrock so
bright gulch
When they gave Java for free to people who had bedrock was probably because it was clear Java was dying
bright gulch
Only reason I got bedrock was before I had my own pc plus my friends don’t have ...
Everyone I know quit long before me xd
green tusk
I still remember the first server I joined which was hive on java
Don’t remember when I just remember that being the first java server i joined
obtuse steeple
Y’all just ruined everything and this was the only 1.9 pvp server stupid 1.8
Tbh there are smaller pvp servers but its then just that ngl
And i play on them and it quite fun if good ngl

It's just most of the time a FFA copy
pallid iron
Bruh no java changelogs
mental nacelle
Yikes
rocky mason
They also removed some FFA maps and it was not even mentioned
bright gulch
They also removed some FFA maps and it was not even mentioned
Which
rocky mason
Classic, Space and Flowers
rocky mason
Ngl, Classic was a good map for PvPing, because it was flat
bright gulch
And the wings maps… bruh
rocky mason
wing maps were fun
bright gulch
I’m def not returning to cube then ever
Didn’t rly plan to anyway
But this just sucks because those maps were great
rocky mason
I wondering why the removal of those maps wasn't announced
bright gulch
Classic was one of the most popular maps
bright gulch
That’s dumb
rocky mason
however, just because something is old, it is not a reason to remove it
bright gulch
Fr
rocky mason
and many people feel nostalgic about classic
bright gulch
The perfect FFA was before all these trash updates
bright gulch
I haven’t played the most recent update with the beach map and regeneration but I was always against regen being added
bright gulch
FFA in 2016 was really great
Yeah
rocky mason
I haven’t played the most recent update with the beach map and regeneration but ...
it is not really regeneration, you just get 2,5 hp when ever you make a kill (or a clean)
bright gulch
Well I wasted 53 days of my life on FFA which is more sad
bright gulch
it is not really regeneration, you just get 2,5 hp when ever you make a kill (or...
So every time someone cleans you, you end up worse off
Lmao
Makes 2v1s harder
rocky mason
yeah, then you get cleaned
yeah
also shoppers get hp back whenever they make a kill
but shopped equipment has now durability
bright gulch
Getting 100 killstreaks used to be casual for me, if people aren’t able to get out of a 2v1, win it etc then just get better
bright gulch
but shopped equipment has now durability
Interesting
Shop was always fun
Just to chill
rocky mason
shopping also got much cheaper
rocky mason
you can already buy armour piece for 10 points or something
bright gulch
Bruh
rocky mason
nah, gear is mostly the same I think
rocky mason
Prot 2 dia is 10 points
bright gulch
None of the staff know anything about FFA
It was best before any updates
Or changes
And the OG maps were the best
rocky mason
I remember how they nerfed wizard before the 1.12 update it made wizard even more op with pot refill
bright gulch
Yeah
I liked it when you could take yourself out with potions
So no one would ever kill me
bright gulch
Even though I don’t play anymore it’s still sad to see such a good game fall off
rocky mason
legit half of my deaths in stats are from /kill in FFA
bright gulch
And maps like classic being removed
rocky mason
yeah
bright gulch
legit half of my deaths in stats are from /kill in FFA
I have like 40k deaths xd
113k kills I believe
Don’t remember exact
rocky mason
I don't have many kills, just 55k
bright gulch
Not bad tho
bright gulch
But I don’t wanna know how far behind my leaderboard spot has gone lmao
bright gulch
Not like it matters since cube Java will prob be shut down at some point
230k
Was a couple months ago
rocky mason
Happens when the entire population is trapped inside their apartments or homes
you got nothing else to do
bright gulch
Yea
rocky mason
good thing that we have nowadays technology, which allows us to do stuff such as streaming or gaming
imagine if it was the 1960s
only thing you could do was watching TV or reading books
bright gulch
Everyone I played with quit in late 2020 so I’d been playing on my own for a long time mostly
bright gulch
imagine if it was the 1960s
lmao
rocky mason
only thing you could do was watching TV or reading books
if you weren't conscripted to fight in Vietnam or any other proxy war
rocky mason
Everyone I played with quit in late 2020 so I’d been playing on my own for a lon...
yeah, same
I think the decline in Java players is partly because the players got old and are busy with a job or something else
some might even have by now their own families with children
rocky mason
Bedrock has a younger audience
bright gulch
Most younger players are on bedrock
Yeah
I don’t see Java surviving long
Maybe regretting spending hundreds on the game now
rocky mason
and the colourful features on Bedrock atracts children
I don't think Java will die, only mini game wise with the exception of hypixel
however, Java has an advantage over Bedrock
Modding
rocky mason
I find it odd that people still stick to 1.8, after 6 years
I used to play 1.8 PvP for a while but I always mained 1.9
To be honest, 1.9 gave me the chance to try out PvP since everyone started from a new clean slate
and you were less likely to meet try-harders
rocky mason
yeah, especially in FFA
since they come in wizard kit but the thing is, they mostly run and throw pots at you
I really don't like it, when people run away from a fight which they have started
bright gulch
I got many people searching up my discord to trash talk me xd
On this disc
Still got clips on this guy who I killed 7-8 times in one life
He was very mad
rocky mason
lol
People shouldn't play competitive if they get mad over a lose/death, it's bad for their own health to get frequently mad and stressed
bright gulch
Like this guy
rocky mason
lol
bright gulch
Some people can’t handle the game
rocky mason
teaming isn't against the rules and most people who complain about teamers, are teamers
bright gulch
teaming isn't against the rules and most people who complain about teamers, are ...
Or when they call you a teamer because 1 random hits em
rocky mason
yeah
honestly, if you are teamer, then you shouldn't complain when a team is killing you
but people often complain
bright gulch
Most clan members disliked me
