Bounty Box System
Craft a chest to delay the next horde by 30 minutes!
️ Crafting Recipe:
Code (Text):
[Iron] [Iron] [Iron]
[Iron] [Chest] [Iron]
[Iron] [Iron] [Iron]
= 1x Bounty Box
⚡ Strategic Mechanics:
- ⏰ Fixed 30-Minute Extension: Provides exactly 30 minutes of additional time
- Non-Stackable: Only one bounty box can be active per event
- Placement Strategy: Must be placed in loaded chunks to function properly
- ✨ Visual Indicators: Creates unique spiral particle effects when active
- Destruction Fallback: If destroyed, provides 3-minute emergency timer
- Optimal Timing: Best used when 5-10 minutes remain on main timer
Pro Tips:
- Protect with defensive structures to prevent mob destruction
- Coordinate with team before placement for maximum effectiveness
- Use as last resort when resources are almost complete but time is short
- Use to pause horde spawning for long outings (take one with you just in case!)
Strategic Night Mechanics
- Sleep Prevention: Players cannot sleep during active Divine Horde events
- Spawn Point Setting: Beds still work to set respawn locations during events
- Tactical Pressure: Teams must survive the full event duration, encouraging cooperation
- Clear Messaging: Players receive informative explanations when sleep is blocked
