What is Bait?

  • Bait is an event where players fish in spawn to earn points.
  • Killing another player transfers all of their points to you.
  • At the end of the event, the players with the most points win prizes.
  • Leaving spawn or teleporting during Bait will cause you to lose all of your points.

Event Info

Check when Bait is using /bait.

  • Spawn is breakable and does not regenerate during the event.
  • All players in spawn can be hurt.
  • The top 3 players with at least 10 fish on the Bait scoreboard glow and can be seen through walls.

Losing Points

There are several ways you can lose your points:

  • Dying (points go to your most recent damager or are lost)
  • Leaving the game (points go to your most recent damager or are lost)
  • Leaving spawn (points are lost)
  • Using teleport commands (/warp, /spawn, /tp, points are lost)
