Crossroads

Crossroads is a BrickBattle game created by Temple of Brickbattle which serves as a remastered version of the original map, Classic: Crossroads. It is a classic free-for-all BrickBattle map where players fight each other with weapons such as the Bomb, Superball, Rocket, Trowel, Sword, Slingshot, and Paintball Gun.

This version of Crossroads has become very popular, with over 4 million visits. It is Temple of Brickbattle's second most popular game, after Doomspire Brickbattle. It experienced a decrease in popularity in early 2021, but saw a revival following a Doomspire Brickbattle update in July 2021, which added a teleporter to Crossroads.

Features[]

The remastered version of Crossroads adds several new features, which are detailed below. These features are also present in other Temple of Brickbattle remastered games, such as Chaos Canyon.

Tool order[]

The player can customize the order of the tools in the hotbar to their liking. This can be done by clicking the button labeled "1 2 3" at the bottom left-hand corner of the screen, or by typing the command /toolorder in the chat box.

Spectate mode[]

If the player has a forcefield, they can enter spectator mode by clicking the camera button, which will appear right next to the tool order customization button. The player may also use the command /spectate. If the player's forcefield disappears, however, the option to spectate will go away.

Character animations[]

The player can enable classic, old-style animations for their character by clicking the button displaying an avatar at the bottom left-hand corner of the screen. The effects will not take place until the next time the player spawns. These old animations are based on the ones that existed until October 2013, when the animation system received an overhaul. The player can revert the animations back to normal by clicking on the button again. Alternatively, players can use the commands /oa to switch to old animations and /na to switch back to the new ones.

Classic avatars[]

The player can change their appearance to resemble old-style avatars by using the command /classic [username], where username is the name of the user the player wishes to appear as. This will make the player's avatar resemble one from around 2007–2008, with the old head mesh, the original smile texture, bevel-less limbs, and with shirts/pants removed.

Gameplay improvements[]

Gameplay and weapons have had various improvements. For example, the Rocket, Superball, and Paintball Gun are more responsive when fired. Also, hitting a player with a Superball will cause a hit sound to play. Additionally, a visual indicator will appear on a player's avatar when hit by a Superball or Slingshot projectile.

Server messages[]

Events on player killings such as streaks,badges, thousand kills, multi-kills, streak ends, and afterlife kills are posted into the chat for the whole server to see, along with certain sound effects to play.

Save data[]

Leaderstats save after every session, they don't save on V.I.P. servers

Trivia[]

This section is a trivia section. Please relocate any relevant information into other sections of the article.

The trampoline behaves differently than in the original Crossroads; players can only bounce on it once every few seconds (this was possibly done to prevent players from staying there as an easy escape from battle).
The map contains an easter egg that was not present in the original Crossroads. In the underground section of the map, accessible from Blackrock Castle, look for the wall painted with the words "The cake is a lie!" (a reference to a 2007 meme). Click on the wall and a new passage will open in the Thieves' Den, which can be accessed by jumping through the table. This area contains a floating cube with a space-like texture that, when touched, teleports the player to a game called "Spatial Rift."
Badges were added to the game in September 2020.
