Overview

When playing vanilla Minecraft, maneuvering around the world and PvP is a large part of the experience. After some time though, players may want to expand their gameplay into different game modes. Introducing the Apex Boost Premade server, an indirect PvP gametype that allows you to boost yourself and other players high into the hair to knock them off the glass platforms. With players lurking around every corner, you will need to boost or be boosted in order to be the last one standing. Knowing how to install and get started with Boost can be confusing for unfamiliar players, so we have created this Apex Hosting guide to ease you through the setup process.
 

Preparation

When using a pre-made gametype, it is highly recommended to reset all of the server files to prevent any file conflicts or crashes.

1. Navigate to the Apex Server Panel, then stop the server.
2. Using FTP, back up any important files to your computer.
3. In the left-hand menu, select the Reset Server Files button.
4. Select all files, then continue following the prompts.
   
5. Type in reset when prompted, but do not restart the server yet.
   

Installation

1. Navigate to the Apex Server Panel page.
2. Scroll down to the Game File section.
   
3. In the dropdown menu, select the Boost version.
4. Follow the prompts to change the version.
5. When prompted, use the included world, then restart the server.
   

Using Boost

Lobby Introduction

Upon first spawning in, you will access the Boost lobby. Here, you can interact with a variety of NPCs in order to unlock effects, purchase items, check stats, and more. With a top-3 leaderboard and the ability to view daily, weekly, and monthly top players, you can fight to become the best player.
 

Item Shop

In the shop corner you can purchase and equip a variety of cosmetic items to stylize your lock. From a variety of hats, particles, and more you can always stand out in a crowd. As you play the game, you can collect mystery dust and open crates in order to unlock new cosmetics
 

Reward Crates

In another corner you will find the crate section. When you earn crates through gameplay, you can open the matching crate to earn a variety of new rewards. With banners, hats, tags, and more, you will slowly begin to collect all of the cosmetic items
 

Leaderboards

Within the center of the lobby, you will find a variety of NPCs dedicated to viewing the top players and statistics. Right-click any NPC to view the top players from each day, week, and month.
 

Starting a Game

Once you are ready to join an arena, right-click on the matching NPC to queue up and join your desired arena. Alternatively, use the clock in your inventory to easily join any available arena without requiring the NPC.
 

How to Play Boost

When in a Boost arena, your goal is to boost yourself and other players to knock them off of the platforms into the void. Using your weapon, right-click under other players to launch them high into the air.

With fast-paced gameplay and the ability to boost players from any range, you will fight to remain on the platforms for as long as possible. Once all players have been knocked off the platform, the last person standing is the winner.
