GunColony is a Minecraft server that provides an engaging experience through its unique Mob-Arena mini-game, available on version 1.19.3 in the United States. Unlike traditional gameplay that relies on swords and bows, GunColony introduces a variety of firearms, such as the AK-47, FAMAS, and AWP, allowing players to combat waves of terrifying mobs in a more exhilarating manner. In addition to the firearms, players can tame their own pets to aid them in battle. The game mechanics have also been enhanced with features like natural regeneration and mob-to-mob damage, which adds an inventive twist where players can utilize a creeper to create chaos among other mobs. Following a beta test phase from late May 2015 to late June, the server is now live and ready to welcome players, boasting a capacity of 40 slots.
Joining GunColony does not require any modifications, as players can use vanilla Minecraft 1.8 or higher to access the server. However, to fully enjoy the 3D models, it is advisable to use Minecraft version 1.8.4 or later. The server is optimized to be compatible with Optifine for users running 1.8.4. With the full launch, the server community has adjusted its staff application requirements, elevating the rank needed from Private I to Corporal I, signaling a more competitive environment for aspiring staff members, although age restrictions remain relaxed. This approach allows GunColony to maintain a fresh, exciting community while ensuring a quality gaming experience for its players.
