When: Saturday, July 19th. Event server opens at 12:30pm EDT. Match starts at 1:00pm EDT.

How Long: 4 hours max, ends at 5:00pm EDT or earlier if someone wins before then.

Who can play: This event is open to all

What: This UHC event will be a free for all, last man standing.

The game will be mostly vanilla (no SafeBuckets, fire spread on, mob griefing on, you can create portals etc), with the end disabled and a shrinking world border. The map is 2000x2000 to start off, with the border periodically shrinking to a final size of 200x200 Players who get close to the border will suffer blindness and slowness effects until they move away. Players who cross the border are teleported back. If you are outside the new border you will be moved inside, sometimes violently, resulting in damage taken.

Health will not regenerate naturally, you must either craft a golden apple or create a regeneration or instant health potion. Golden apples and glistering melons recipes are tweaked requiring ingots instead of nuggets.

Your in game achievements will also be broadcast as you achieve them, thus giving everyone an indication of how far along you are!

When the event server opens up, you will have 30 minutes to "/join" the match. Once the start time comes around, anyone not registered will be set to "Spectator Mode". Spectators will be completely invisible to the participants.

Prize: A shrine in the survival rev 26 spawn!
