Heavily inspired by a popular mod and then recreated into the wonderful game of Blockland. I'd like to introduce you to Day Blockland; short for DayB.
FeaturesThe most important part of the entire gamemode itself.
WeaponsA completely dedicated weapon pack created specifically for this gamemode. They are high damaged and go specifically for realism. They also feature iron sights for precision and a better feel to taking shots- especially sniper rifles.
There will be about six different types of weapons. The weapon categories go pistols, shotguns, submachine guns, assault rifles, light machine guns, and sniper rifles. These go in caliber wise too, varying in small pistols rounds to large armor piercing bullets.
Hunger and ThirstFairly self explanatory, a player must go through every house, grocery store, hotel, hospital and barracks just to get a little bit of chow. Clearly a player won't find an ordinary can of food in a barracks, but most likely in a household or a grocery store.
Not only will the player be starving, but the player be dehydrated as well. Just like hunger, the players got to look everywhere just to get a drink. It could be water or it could be soda, but remember too- it could be the players last drink!
Blood and DeathA players excitement of brutally murdering blockheads and ravaging towns is the point where the player gets shot. From there on, it becomes a hassle if the player is not prepared. The player
will bleed until death if the player does not bandage, if the players blood is low, the player will need some sort of way to regain blood.
Now, lets say a blockhead has died, he respawns back on the shore just like he started. This means you will have nothing from your old character, that is if you can manage to come back and get your stuff.
TemperatureTemperature is also a somewhat small key factor, player will get cold of traveling outside too long or swimming. The player will get very cold and eventually get very sick. To cure your sickness the player must attempt the use of antibiotics.
To obtain heat, a player could remain indoors, use a heatpack, or get wood and create a fire. A couple things to avoid are being outside often and swimming, as those two will make the player coldest the fastest.
Sight and SoundThe most important thing next to hunger and thirst; sight and sound! You'll have to be quiet and hidden in order to avoid being seen or heard by zombies, even a couple fast paces on concrete can alert a large amount of zombies.
The last thing a player would want to do is fire off his rifle in a city ...
ZombiesTo make matters worse then they are, there are zombies too. These block hungry fiends will do anything just to get a little but of your plastic flesh.
MediaWhat does it look like?

ServerThe server itself and it's main priorities.
RulesThey're simple, follow them and you'll be fine- don't and you'll be permanently banned, and no you won't be unbanned, all bans are cleared by me. You can complain or PM me if you really need to be unbanned. Don't be stupid on here either, or you'll be blacklisted then banned right after.
- Respect and listen to admins at all times, they are always right.
- Dont come on the topic and complain about how how you were shot by another player, but you can report bugs.
- If you glitch or cheat or do any sort of exploiting you will be banned swiftly and we'll make sure you never come back.
- Don't ask for admin, admins are hand picked.
Follow the rules and everyone will be happy- don't and we will have some issues as I brought up before.
BlacklistPeople who are known to be foolish or ignorant will be thrown on here as well as individuals who behave inappropriately towards the server on the topic.
We don't want any questions on the topic, all questions should be asked through private message.
Currently nobody right now! We prefer clean, good people!
AdminsThe top guns, the tippy top of the mountain, the admins. Admins are expected to be helpful and informational, they should never cheat or abuse- please report this right away. There should not be issues either, our admins are hand picked and moderation is not a big problem.
Admins are also not shown due to privacy and to let players know they are always being watched ...

MiscellaneousThings that are less related to the server go here.
TestingSelected individuals have been chosen for testing, do not ask for testing. There are two ways, one is through personal choice and another is through an option explained later on.
These testers will be testing various things when I need them to, but there will be open testing as well for all the other players who did not make it in time.
Currently the testers are chosen individuals and certain premiums.
There is no testing date, it will be posted under this section when there is.
