LabsMC
Description
LabsMC, more commonly known as Labs, is a fast-paced random event server where up to 50 players battle it out and try to avoid the rising lava. Players spawn on plates separated from the other players and must be the last man standing, while random events occur and impact the gameplay. The server is owned by the Minehut moderator Pryzmm_ and managed by CqllMeToxic.
Labs can also be found on the Official Minecraft Server List (not shown in public search results as of yet)
History
Before Labs, there was another server called LabTrials owned by Smart_Miner; with a similar aspect to Labs, players had to survive the rising lava and be the last man standing. The server died and a couple years later, the founder of Prism Network, Pryzmm_, created a rebooted version around the beginning of May 2024; naming it Exploratory before changing the name to Labs on July 7th, 2024.
Main Features
Currency
Money is used to purchase events to impact the game and cosmetics that players can showcase during games. You can use /shop to spend any of the money that you have earned while playing.
There are 2 ways to obtain money:
- Survive a round in game
- Adds $1 to your balance normally
- Adds $2 to your balance if you are VIP
- Win a game of Labs
- Adds $30 to your balance normally
- Adds $60 to your balance if you are VIP
The amount of money earned per game can also be impacted by any applied modifiers.
Events
Events are the core mechanic of Labs, making new experiences and giving variety into every new game. They can make the game easier or harder for players, and can even revive a dead player if they were previously eliminated. Events are constantly added into every major update; the community can also create suggestions for new events in the Prism Network discord.
Below is a list of events. The beginning of event texts follow a specific format: [<TYPE>-<MIN>-<MAX>] (i.e. [PLATE-1-3] will select between 1 and 3 plates to apply the event to.)
