[JAVA] Lucky Islands Guide (All Categories)
Updated 2 years ago by sJonneY

Hello y'all, thought it would be a good idea to make guide for Java, since there are no Java guides here yet.

  1. Any%

For this run, you have to pick a map that allows you to get to other islands extremely fast, so pick a map that is small and requires little to no blocks to get from island to island. Pond is probably the best map for this, because you'll only need a maximum of 10 blocks per game if it's on WR pace. Other good maps would be Underwater, Savanna and maybe Vortex.

For kits: pick the Warrior kit, as the Diamond kit will take too much time with you having to craft your gear first.

The run itself is pretty simple: kills as many players as possible, as quick as possible, and hope others do the same as well. At this point the WR is so low that you NEED other people to rush others if you want to have a chance to lower the time at all.

tl;dr: play on Pond with the Warrior kit and pray you get lucky.

  1. Perfect%

There are no runs in this category yet, but I have been trying to get it and have come very close on multiple occasions (8 kills, 9 kills, even 10 kills, etc.)

For this run you must pick a map that's still relatively easy to traverse, but is not considered a 'rush map', like the maps in Any%. The focus is not on being fast here: the focus is on the fact that you will have to somehow kill every person in the game. So pick a map that usually sees people preparing for a while (AKA maps with big spawning islands and many lucky blocks to open), so you won't see a kill message within the first minute (aside from yourself, of course). Maps that are good for this run would be Blossom, Crossroads, Luck, maybe even Nest and Ruins.

For the kit, I would suggest either the Warrior kit (for speed), of the Diamond kit (less speedy, but better gear).

Then, all you have to do is grind, grind and grind. People will fall in the void, they will die to stupid things like knights of witches, or they will be killed by other players. You have to be extraordinarely lucky to be in a lobby with people that are all too smart to die from lucky block drops, but are too slow to actively kill other players.

All I can say for this one is good luck. You'll need it.

  1. 5 Kills

Very similar to Any%, but instead of winning the game you have to get 5 kills.

Same maps and kits as for Any% apply here, in fact I got my record for 5 Kills while trying to get an Any% WR.

A few differences to Any% are that you have to hope that your 5 victims are NOT dead yet when you arrive at their island, since you'll need that kill credit.

Not much to say here really, just apply the same strategies as for Any%, just focus on the kills this time rather than being speedy and hoping others are also killing opponents.

  1. No Kills

Tied with Perfect% for being the most annoying category, but way less difficult to accomplish.

For this category, pick, once again, maps where islands are close and many people rush others, just like Any% and 5 Kills, but do not get the Warrior kit, as it will be useless (no killing and all that). As explained down below, the Wizard kit is probably your best bet here.

There are two ways you can play this category:

  1. AFK on your island and hope everyone kills each other or walks off the map, or
  2. Actively try to kill people, without getting kill credit.

The first method is boring, and probably worse since if you try, you can still eliminate people from the game. Ways of doing this can include: -Block trapping -Spleefing (with gold pickaxe or slime blocks, if you play on Pond) -Burning them (With the Dragon Breath Wand, maybe mixed with poison potions) -Exploding them with Trapped Chests (you can craft these too, it's a funny way to try and kill people, even in normal games) -Withering them with the Splash Potion Wand -And many more that I can't think of off the top of my head

In the end tho, you have to hope that everyone doesn't stay on their island, and either gets killed by others, walks off the map, or, if neccesary, gets killed by you with any of the methods listed above.

Some final general tips here: -Record every run you do, you'll never know when you suddenly get that golden run, -In some scenarios, both straight and diagonal speedbridging can come in ahndy (especially Perfect% runs), so practise them well, -Obviously read the rules before you submit, no seasonal maps and all that lol -And finally, probably get an Iron rank, because a Map Selector makes your life so much easier,

I know this guide is pretty basic and doesn't go into much detail, but I think this outlines the basic idea for each category well enough.

Good luck!
