Version 1.1.0

Our biggest update yet, packed full with new features, improvements, and bugfixes! Download today or play now on CubeKrowd!

Crusade Mode

A new, long-awaited gamemode has arrived to Rocket Riders! In Crusade Mode, players may choose between three kits - the Knight, the Archer, and the Mage - which each receive different weapons, armor, missiles, and utility items that favor different styles of play. Players must destroy the two crystals in front of each base castle in order to expose a single portal behind that base. There is also a platform in the middle that allows players to launch missiles at the crystals with ease and fight in close range. Once one team's portal is destroyed, the game is over. Special thanks to Kurusa for the initial inspiration for this gamemode!

New Modifiers

1. Clutter Collector: Explosions do no block damage between the bases. (Thanks to @Devon7925 for the code contribution!)
   • Incompatible with Molerat/Rocket Residers Modifiers, Crusade Mode, and 1v1 Duel Mode.
2. Chaos: Special Missiles spawn in regular gameplay.
   • Incompatible with Powerups Mode, Swap Mode, Crusade Mode, and 1v1 Duel Mode.
   • When Surprise Eggs and Chaos Modifiers are both enabled, Surprise Eggs can spawn Special missiles.
3. Collision Control: Missiles cannot be spawned inside the enemy base.
   • Incompatible with Rocket Residers Modifier, Capture the Flag Mode, Chase Mode, and 1v1 Duel Mode.

Textual Improvements

• Modifier information no longer prints in chat when cycling between Modifiers in the Modification Room. Instead, it prints upon enabling or disabling the Modifier, consistent with Game Rules.
• Selected Modifiers are now listed in fewer lines in the game start message, and each Modifier name is hoverable.
• Added hoverable information for Game Rules in the game start message.
• Made hoverable text in chat more consistent: you now hover over the name itself instead of the note that tells you to hover.
• Improved Molerat toggle warning.
• Improved Repeat Settings chat message.
• Gamemode Info sign now prints a new line after the info text instead of before.
• “Game Started!” title text is aqua instead of gray.

Miscellaneous Tweaks/Changes

• Adjusted item RNG in Powerups Mode so only one kind of tipped arrow is given per "Tetris bag" of powerups. This should make tipped arrows a less frequent item, solving issues with inventory management and game balance.
• Hardcore Modifier now reduces player health to 3 hearts instead of 1 heart. This should make it more playable and possible to jump onto missiles without dying to fall damage.
• If both teams win in the exact same tick, the game either enters Sudden Death (if enabled) or a new "Everybody Wins!" state occurs wherein both teams earn victory-related rewards.
• Modification Room signs no longer try to update every tick, saving substantially on server performance between rounds. (As a consequence, some signs may take a little longer to respond to clicks.)
• Spam clicking signs in the Modification Room no longer plays more click sounds than how many actual actions occur.
• Added new operator tools to repeat settings forever (use /function custom:repeatforever to enable and /function custom:stoprepeat to disable).
• Added new random start/win/lose splash messages as suggested by the community.

Fixed Bugs

• Nova Rockets shot at the end of the game in Chase Mode kept exploding forever during the end game stage.
• Vortices left over at the end of the game in Chase Mode might have had the wrong particle color.
• Spectators constantly gained/lost night vision while the Sonar Modifier was active.
• Players did not glow when the Sonar Modifier was enabled in Capture the Flag Mode.
• Match Statistics played before the full 5-second tie window had passed.
• Spawn prevention checks still didn't properly apply to missiles spawned by flag carriers in Capture the Flag Mode.
• Forfeiting during the spectator period between rounds of 1v1 Duel Mode allowed the remaining player to keep fireworks and elytra for a couple seconds before the game was actually won.
• Dying at the same time as spawning a missile in an invalid position and respawning far away didn't give you the missile back.
• Portals were not guaranteed to be placed/lit when the game started.
• Missiles could be spawned inside obsidian in Chase Mode.
• Obsidian stairs would not replace themselves in Chase Mode.
• Enabling Molerat when it was not already enabled and then disabling all Modifiers confused the game into falsely warning you for toggling Molerat before confirming settings.
• Non-air blocks could temporarily obstruct player spawnpoints, allowing players to respawn in the Lobby for one tick.
• Area effect clouds could collect over time when Obsidian Shields were spawned against portals.
• Both teams winning in the same tick could produce unexpected behavior.
• Losing in Powerups Mode with Elytra equipped would replace your chest slot with an unnamed chestplate.
• “Team Yellow Won!" chat message was inconsistently colored.

• Players could not obtain extra Surprise Eggs when their hotbars were full if Hotbar Limit was enabled.
• Players with high ping could die once in the void but have it count as multiple void deaths for the "It's Raining Men!" achievement.

• Cluster Fireballs could enter a state where they rapidly spawned additional fireballs when punched enough times during the end game phase.
• Blocks could get pushed backwards as a result of spawning multiple of the same missile in the same position, and these would stay between rounds.

• Removed Canopy stacking from Chase Mode.
• Fireballs will no longer set friendly Canopies on fire (unless there is an enemy on top of it or if a enemy Canopy is close to it).
• Removed ability for a player attached to a Nova Rocket to explode a nearby Canopy, as it was very rare for it to do anything and it actually caused a bug with kill credit not properly showing up in chat.
• Nova Rockets will no longer instantly explode enemy Canopies if a friendly player is standing on it (unless there is also an enemy on it).
• Expanded range for Nova Rockets to instantly explode enemy Canopies.
• Added new random start/win/lose splash messages as suggested by the community.

• Bees could still exist in other gamemodes besides Powerups Mode.

Version 1.0.3
