Castle Wars [1.9 – 1.16]

Castle Wars is a unique gamemode where you can build a castle with your friends, form alliances, and raid other castles for loot and points.

More about the gamemode
You begin with a small castle which you can modify to your liking. When you join, your castle is protected with a shield. Use this time to build up your defences and get guns, armour, and other gear to prepare for raids.

When one castle raids another, both castles are copied into a raid arena opposite each other. Each side can invite up to two allies. The winners receive money, gear, and status points. Make sure to always be prepared – you may be raided at any time!

Other features

Guns and grenades. Fight with snipers, RPGs, grenades, and more.

Custom bosses. Defeat one of four custom boss mobs and their minions in the boss areas located in the castle world. These bosses will not prove easy to defeat — be prepared!

Levels. Level up by meeting money and item requirements to earn progressively higher shop discounts, item rewards, and other perks.

Creative. Plan your castle out on a creative plot, or build your own unrelated builds with WorldEdit and Armor Stand Tools.

Minigames. Relax with some rounds of Capture the Flag, Mob Arena with building, Spleef, or parkour.

Easter eggs. Explore the elaborate spawn for hidden easter eggs and achievements.

What to expect when you join

When you first join ophion.cc, you’ll find yourself in the new player area with several short tutorials explaining the gamemode. Jump into the portal to generate your castle in the castle world.

The default castle is fairly simple. A common way to start is by mining some stone and building a quick roof to protect yourself from snipers, a wall to allow you to expand your castle in safety, and buying a gun or two. Your castle will be protected by a shield for the first couple hours after you join to give you time to prepare some basic defences.

Gather resources at the mines to craft weapons and armour to add to your raid inventory, the special inventory that you have during raids.

When you raid or are raided by another castle, your two castles will be copied into a raid arena opposite each other. Each side can invite up to two allies. Common offensive raid strategies often include pre-loaded TNT cannons, sniper positions, RPGs, and enderpearls; defensive strategies often include traps, obsidian, and walls. The side that kills all players in the opposing castle wins and may choose their rewards.
