The Mega Gauntlet is a planned project to be built by Fubaka on the next main world.
Current Plans
This gauntlet is planned to be completely unlike the way the first two looked or operated. It is currently envisioned as a giant cube, built out of Stone Brick blocks, that will stretch from the bedrock layer, to just below the top of the world. Built correctly, it will be almost completely dark in the cube, and any fall from the main platforms will end up with the player falling into the Void, so don't bring any valuables in that you don't want to lose!
Within the giant dark and hollow cube, several elevated platforms, each representing a level, will be built about the interior. There are planned to be at least 20 of these platforms. In order to win the gauntlet, the player must successfully complete every level in order without cheating in the usual manners.
Unlike the previous two gauntlets, this one will provide checkpoints every 5 or 10 levels, but daring players will be given the option to run the entire thing in one go, Iron-Man style. (Bonus points if you have an Iron Man skin on while attempting the challenge :P) The reward for normally completing the Mega Gauntlet will probably be much greater than the Second Gauntlet was, and additional rewards might be given to those who Iron-Man it.
This gauntlet will attempt to throw every trick at you, from standard jumps, ladder jumps, piston-based traps, trapdoors, water jumps, dark jumping, timed doors, mob fighting, etc... It will also utilize new blocks and actions from 1.8, like Sprinting for extended jumps and Glass Panes for thin platforming and water gates.
In light of recent news about potion-brewing, there will be an extra rule for gauntlet-goers. Do not bring any potions that would enhance speed or jumping! There will probably be obstacles that require these potions, but in that event, the potions will be provided, and in minimal quantities. Anyone caught with speed or jumping potions of their own in the gauntlet will be disqualified!
This project will most likely constitute the majority of Fubaka's time on the server, and any donations in the form of cobblestone, smooth stone, stone brick, or coal will be most appreciated. Inside the gauntlet lobby will be a complete list of everyone who made major contributions to the gauntlet's construction, beside the list of Gauntlet Grandmasters. There will also be a separate glorified board for Iron-Man Grandmasters.
