    I saw on the kit pvp reset thing that you guys got new maps for 1v1s/duels but one of the maps is way to related to one on Hypixel and i feel that it was stolen and edited a bit. I am not sure of this but i have two screenshots side by side to show how related they really are. I just feel that it needs to be changed up a bit because it is way to closely related.

    Dang. Didn't realize that until now. I really honestly agree, even if it wasn't intended they still need to be unique from each other.

    Honestly, I don't think they literally stole the map. It looks more like it was inspired by Hypixel rather than stolen.

    Inspired is a code name for stolen.

    Stolen is copied, inspired has aspects from the other map in it.

    My art is inspired by many things, is it stolen? No.

    It's okay on a certain level, but when a map looks exactly the same except they changed a couple of things, like the walls, there's no reason to call it "inspired". When you copy someone else's exam and change a few words here and there, are you copying or being "inspired"?

    Let's just say, it's neither. It's not copied neither inspired. Tbh, the way the map turned out looks better imo than the hypixel one. Not that that really matters anyways, but just to make one thing clear.

    Copying and inspiring are two completely different things, if it would be the same, then almost everything would be a copy.

    How is it not a copy though? It's almost exactly the same map...

    It's a map on a server you moderate, hosted on the "block game". Also, you were talking about the map in the post I replied to. If we're not talking about the thread's topic, there's no point in commenting on it :P

    In my opinion, this doesn't qualify as "stealing". Nobody can reserve an arena as simple and generic as a single tree in a circular Colosseum-esque building. I'm sure that there are a lot of other builds out there that are similar to these.

    Especially when the map is the exact same size and the tree stands on a platform that's designed exactly like Hypixel's map.

    I genuinely don't understand how you people think a map so similar isn't a copy. You give these weird excuses like "generic ideas" and "it wasn't copied, it was inspired". This is pretty absurd.

    I sense a pattern occurring with who agrees and who doesn't agree. A map like that has nothing inspirational, it's a map with a tree in the middle and a wall around it, you can't possibly say that you could get inspiration from that.

    Why is this such a big deal? Didn't every other big server """""steal"""" build it from us?

    Depends on whether or not J&H have permission to use the map from the original creator.

    It was entirely built from scratch by @Gamerrizz . It was inspired, not copied / stolen. If you actually look at Hypixels arena and compare it to ours, a lot is different. The only thing that is ''the same'' is the layout: Being a circle, a tree in the middle in an elevated platform, etc.

    Then again, inspired. It was built from the ground up, from scratch, it wasn't stolen.
