Minecraft:Battle (mini game)
More actions
Battle<ref>Template:Cite</ref> (initially codenamed/known as Arena<ref>https://tcrf.net/Minecraft:_Wii_U_Edition#Unused_Graphic</ref>) is a Minecraft:mini game most similar to the popular "Hunger Games" mode on Template:JE Minecraft:servers, where players compete in a "last man standing" or "deathmatch" style game. Battle was added to the Minecraft:Legacy Console Edition on June 21, 2016.
Description
The gameplay of Battle differs from the standard "Hunger Games" mode in a variety of ways, such as:
- A fifteen-second grace period
- Refilling chests
- The ability to remove all Minecraft:items from a Minecraft:chest at once
- Minecraft:Armor is automatically equipped when acquired (stronger armor is prioritized)
- Players can heal and Minecraft:sprint so long as they are not Minecraft:starving
- A red outline surrounds the Minecraft:crosshair, indicating where Minecraft:damage was received from
- Minecraft:TNT is ignited upon placement
- "Showdown" begins after an extensive amount of time has passed, where name tags for remaining players become visible and a countdown clock begins
- Following the completion of a round, a leaderboard is displayed, which includes the number of kills by each player and other statistics.
Up to 16 players can join a single game on Minecraft:Xbox One Edition and Minecraft:PlayStation 4 Edition, 8 players on Minecraft:Xbox 360 Edition, Minecraft:PlayStation 3 Edition, Minecraft:Wii U Edition, and Minecraft:Nintendo Switch Edition, and 4 players on Minecraft:PlayStation Vita Edition. A "Casual" or "Competitive" option can be chosen when creating a lobby, which can either allow or restrict the use of smaller-sized skins and can change the appearance of spectators. Spectators cannot pass through blocks, but can fly through one block tall spaces. As of TU60 and equivalent updates, the Minecraft:totem of undying can be found in a map's center chests, commonly in the High Power mode, occasionally in the Food Central mode, and never in the Decayed mode.
Custom Battle is an option that allows a player to change various aspects of Battle, such as:
- Item Set:
- Normal – Description: A standard, balanced set of items.
- No Armor – Chests never have any armor. Stone pickaxes and iron pickaxes only appear in this item set. Potion of Leaping 2 can appear in central chests upon start. Unlike other potions the duration is not shortened. Description: No armor items at all!
- High Power – Armor and weapons are at least iron, with diamond equipment and enchanted equipment appearing significantly more often. Food also becomes exclusively Minecraft:rabbit stew and Minecraft:cooked mutton. Description: The most powerful items in Minecraft.
- Decayed – Armor and weapons have low durability and the chance of more powerful loot is reduced. Description: Every item breaks after only a few uses.
- Food Central – Food and potions only appear in the central chests. Many more different food items can be obtained. Description: Only the central chests have food, and the outer chests don't have any!
- Random - Description: Pick a random item set every rounds to keep things fresh.
- Hunger Settings:
- Normal – The standard hunger settings, specifically designed for battle. Players can heal and sprint for longer, but cannot stand still without getting hungry.
- Anti-Camping – Hunger is lost quicker when idling than usual. Sneaking, walking and swimming causes no exhaustion.
Description: Slightly rebalanced hunger settings to prevent players from staying in one place. - Fast Healing – Players regenerate twice as fast, regenerating causes slightly more exhaustion, players require more hunger points to be able to regenerate.
Description: Players heal faster than usual. - No Starving – Players never take damage starvation damage.
- Always Healing – Players never take starvation damage, can always regenerate health. Regeneration is slower.
Description: Players constantly regenerate health over time, but cannot sprint if they are too hungry. This setting is better for long games than short ones. - No Hunger – The hunger bar is not used, albeit still being visible; players can sprint, but cannot heal or starve.
- Lead Feet – Sprinting, jumping and swimming cause much more exhaustion than usual.
- Always Hungry – Every action causes you to lose much more hunger than usual. Regeneration usually uses up 3 hunger points.
Description: Every action causes much more exhaustion than usual.
- Spectator Mode:
- Minecraft:Bat – Default appearance for spectators in a Casual match.
- Minecraft:Parrot – Spectators appear as various parrots.
- Minecraft:Vex – Spectators appear as a Vex.
- Player Head – Spectators appear as a translucent version of their head.
- Invisible – Default appearance for spectators in a Competitive match.
- Miscellaneous settings
- Random Spawn – When enabled, players spawn at various locations around the map.
- Allow All Skins – When enabled, players can use any skin, including "unfair" skins such as small, floating, headless or transparent characters. This option is disabled in Competitive matches and enabled in Casual matches. A list of "unfair" skins is available below.
- Take Everything – When enabled, players can empty a chest with one button.
- Small Inventory – When enabled, only the Minecraft:hotbar, armor, and offhand inventory slots are available.
- Map Size – Auto, Small, Large; on Xbox One and PS4, Large+ is also available. When set to Auto, the sizes depend on the player count: Small is chosen at 2-4 players, Large at 5-8, and Large+ at 9-16. Small is the smallest and has the least chests, Large has more chests and areas, and Large+ has the same map as Large but even more chests, having 9 chests at spawn compared to 5 that the other settings have.
Unfair skins
In competitive matches or in custom matches with the "Allow All Skins" setting turned off, certain player skins cannot be selected due to them being "unfair". These include skins of short, floating or transparent characters, skins without heads or arms, and skins that do not render worn armor. When joining a lobby or a game with unfair skins disabled, such skins are marked with a Minecraft:barrier icon in the skin selection menu. Players who had one of these skins equipped before joining Battle are changed to use one of the default skins instead. The value for setting a skin being unfair is the 1st bit in the GAME_FLAGS value that most skins have. Every skin flag value ending in an odd value is affected.
Loot
Template:Missing information All loot in the Battle mini game is obtained from chests or by killing other players who have already acquired equipment. Center chests at the beginning of a round are stocked with different present item combinations, each fitted for a unique play style. Different regions of the maps have different types of loot. Some special, hard-to-reach chests can also have valuable loot. Every 30 seconds, loot is restocked in 4 randomly selected chests. Chests that have a player nearby have a lower chance to be refilled.Template:Info needed Small and Large maps contain two high value chests, Large+ maps contain four.
Effect durations of potions in Battle deviate from their default durations:
| Potion | Altered duration |
|---|---|
| Template:ItemLink | 0:20 |
| Template:ItemLink | 0:07 |
| Template:ItemLink | 0:10 |
| Template:ItemLink | 0:07 |
| Template:ItemLink | 0:15 |
| Template:ItemLink | 0:20 |

| Template:ItemLink | 0:07 |
When players are set loose at the start of a round, all central chests roll for one kit apiece from the first pool in StartItems. Afterward, each central chest inserts additional stacks from the second pool in StartItems until a cumulative kpScore of 20 is reached or exceeded.
When a central chest is being restocked, it rolls for a stack from the pool in UpdateItems three times.
When an outer chest that is not considered high value is filled, it rolls for one kit from the first pool in OuterItems. Afterward, the chest inserts additional stacks from the second pool in OuterItems until a cumulative kpScore of 20 is reached or exceeded.
When a high value chest is filled, it rolls for one kit from the first pool in HVItems. Afterward, each chest inserts additional stacks from the second pool in HVItems until a cumulative kpScore of 18 is reached, or the chest is unable to insert further items without exceeding a cumulative kpScore of 18.
Each table denotes a pool. Internal names for kits have been extracted from Battle's .xml game rules file. Supplementary subscript numbers serve to further differentiate individual kits.

Maps
As of TU49 and equivalent updates, there are a total of 21 maps in the Battle mini game (excluding the Minecraft:Nintendo Switch Edition). The first three maps - Cavern, Cove, and Crucible - can be used by anyone, however the remaining 18 maps must be purchased through the respective Battle Map Pack or the Season Pass (excluding the Nintendo Switch Edition). Each map is based on a theme, occasionally with unique music and a Minecraft:texture pack. Because of this, the texture pack cannot be changed during Battle mini game.
The Season Pass and nearly all DLC Battle maps are absent on the Nintendo Switch Edition, even though all other versions, including the Minecraft:Wii U Edition, have these maps as purchasable DLC. When asked about this during the Official Minecraft Livestream, it was stated that excluding Nintendo Switch Edition players from Battle Map DLC is "kind of intentional."<ref>[1] - The Official Minecraft Livestream</ref> This is currently still the case, where Valley is the only DLC Battle map that is available on the Nintendo Switch Edition through the purchase of the Chinese Mythology Mash-Up Pack.
The current available battle maps are as follows, with the Minecraft:Nintendo Switch Edition having access only to Cavern, Cove, Crucible, and Valley:
| Name | Applied textures | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Cavern | Default | "This ancient looking underground structure is the perfect place to sneak up on your enemies!" |
| Minecraft:Cove | Default | "Try to survive in the pirate's hidden camp, full with shipwrecks and caves!" |

| Minecraft:Lair | Fantasy | "Battle in the dragon's lair." |
| Medusa | Greek Mythology | "Don't look directly at her!" |
| Temple | Default | "This mysterious temple is set within the deepest Minecraft:jungle. Watch out for enemies lurking in the tree tops!" |
| Minecraft:Atlantis | Greek Mythology | "Deep beneath the Minecraft:ocean, a lost city lay in ruins. Atlantis awaits the battle." |
| Ruin | City | "Abandoned and left to ruin, there are still secrets left to be found. Battle for the remaining resources and survive this hazardous place." |

| Minecraft:Castle | Default | "Crown yourself in glory in the Castle's great halls." |
| Minecraft:Invasion! | City | "An alien attack has created a dangerous arena. Defend your rooftops but don't fall off!" |
| Minecraft:Shipyard | Steampunk | "A port in the sky away from the storm, but this area is anything but calm." |
| Minecraft:Frontier | Default | "It's high noon! Things are about to get wild in the Old West, so grab a fistful of Minecraft:TNT, slap on a sou'wester and prepare for an almighty dustbowl dust-up between the good, the bad, and the ugly." |

Battle & Tumble album cover.
The music from Battle has later appeared in related games. Three songs from Battle are featured as music in Minecraft:Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, being "Clockwork Crafter", "Toys on a Tear", and "Dance of the Blocks", with the latter two receiving new arrangements.<ref>Template:Ytl</ref> The song "Master Builder" from the Shrunk Battle Map plays in the trailer for the 1.11 update of Java Edition.
There are four unattributed tracks that have never been released. They play on vanilla texture pack maps without a map theme. These tracks were presumably composed by Minecraft:C418Template:Note, but this has never been directly confirmed.

History
Trivia
- The golden apple is rarer in the High Power item set than in the Normal item set.
- If the spectating mode is set to Invisible, the player's camera can phase through blocks. On the map Crucible, this can be used to view outside the map by toggling third-person view.
- The music tracks for the three base maps of Battle (Cavern, Cove, and Crucible) were never officially released in full quality by Minecraft:C418.
- The
GAME_FLAGSvalue for setting a skin as unfair was introduced and already applied to some skins in Minecraft:TU25, over a year before Battle was added. - Various maps contain unused areas. In Cove's Large variant, one of these is normally accessible by swimming up a waterfall on the cove's western escarpment.
