Jakob's KitPvP

What is KitPvP?

KitPvP is a classic genre of PvP. The concept is quite simple: Choose from a set of pre-determined loadouts ("kits") and jump into the arena. Now it's time to fight your friends - grab your sword and go ham. If you die, you'll respawn in the lobby. Worry not, though, as you won't lose any progress. Simply select a kit and join in again.

About Jakob's KitPvP

This map was made to be an alternative to the many variants of the KitPvP genre. The map operates entirely using vanilla mechanics, so you won't need to download any mods or plugins. Simply boot up the world, get your friends to join, and it'll work like a charm. All kits have been tested and balanced, and you won't experience any "pay to win". It's pure gameplay, nothing else.

A final comment

Thank you for reading through the map description. Jakob's KitPvP is the first map I've ever published, so I'm quite eager to find out how people react to it. Please let me know in the comments if you have any feedback or if you've found an unexpected bug. It's greatly appreciated.
