Pre-1.8 PvP Mechanics

Lostshard PvP is some of the best PvP in Minecraft. Not only does it require the use of Vanilla Minecraft combos, but it also relies on Magic and efficient use of Stamina and Mana. There are several cases which make Lostshard PvP unique. First, PvP is enabled anywhere in the map, including Spawns. Spawns include Order and Chaos. Second, Chainmail armor can be crafted from cobblestone on Lostshard. As a result, this is extremely useful for newer players as it offers some form of protection. Third, Lostshard utilizes pre-1.8 PvP mechanics and shields are disabled to allow for the nostalgic feel for older players. Furthermore, gold armor and weapons have unique features which give it a unique advantage in specific situations. (View Table 1 for Gold Armor and Weapon Perks).
