Heart Prestige:
This upcoming season, Lifesteal is receiving an overhaul in regards to the way hearts work. Starting players will be able to have a maximum of 25 hearts, but for those wanting to push further, the new prestige system allows players to climb all the way up to 30 hearts. To prestige, players will need to use the command /prestige, which will permanently increase their maximum heart limit at the cost of heart containers from their inventory. Each prestige tier requires more hearts than the last, making the journey to 30 a true endgame goal.
View Heart Prestige tiers
Each prestige tier requires more hearts than the last:
- Tier 1: 26 hearts (10 heart containers)
- Tier 2: 27 hearts (20 heart containers)
- Tier 3: 28 hearts (40 heart containers)
- Tier 4: 29 hearts (75 heart containers)
- Tier 5: 30 hearts (150 heart containers)
Boss Battle Event:
A brand new event is making its way to Lifesteal this season, Boss Battle! At scheduled times throughout the day, a powerful boss will spawn directly inside the arena, ready to be fought by anyone brave (or geared) enough to take it on. Defeating the boss will reward players with exclusive loot, but be warned, other players are a far greater threat than the boss itself. Coordinate with your clan, time your engagements wisely, and you might just walk away with the spoils.
Obscure System Overhaul:
The Obscure system has received a complete top-to-bottom rework this season, transforming it into a true progression system. Rather than being a one-and-done grind, the new Obscure system is now fully upgradeable, allowing players to level it up over time and unlock stronger rewards. To go alongside this, the sell price for Obscure Shards has been doubled from $250 to $500, making every shard significantly more valuable. Whether you're a solo grinder or running with a full clan, the new Obscure system has something to offer.
Expanded Map Size:
One of the most highly requested changes this season is finally here, all three worlds have been massively expanded! The Overworld, Nether, and End have all been increased to a full 20,000 x 20,000 in size, giving players significantly more room to build, base, and explore. This change opens up far more viable basing locations and makes the world feel substantially larger, especially in the late game when prime real estate becomes scarce.
Chunk Loaders:
Chunk Loaders are a brand new custom item being introduced to Lifesteal this season! Once placed, a Chunk Loader will keep its surrounding chunks loaded even when no players are nearby, allowing your farms, generators, and other contraptions to keep running while you're offline. Chunk Loaders can be obtained as drops from crate keys, making them another great reason to open keys this season. Place them strategically to maximize your base's productivity around the clock.
As always with new seasons, it is our primary focus to ensure we deliver enough content, quality of life changes and bug fixes to satisfy our community! Players can expect to see brand new builds alongside a smoother gameplay experience with a handful of our backend plugins being updated with performance improvements. We look forward to seeing everyone this Wednesday. As always, enjoy!
