Calamity: Definitive Edition

This repository houses the Minecraft: Java Edition custom profile for Calamity.

Calamity is a point race with a large focus on resource management. Be the first team to reach the point limit to win! The point limit can be lowered by mining Iron Ore from the central mine.

There are three ways to get points:

• Using generators successfully
• Killing enemy players
• Crafting items which use Iron Ingots in their recipe

Generators give resources, status effects, or enchantments after charging for a short while. After giving resources, they'll need to cooldown before they can be activated again.

Calamity comes with multiple arenas, each offering a unique way to experience the game mode! Recipes and other Minecraft features have been re-balanced to offer a more competitive experience.
