Race for Victory (CTW)

Race for Victory is a Capture The Wool map where you need to retrive the wool from the enemy side. Players can build, bridge and tunnel their way through enemy lines and other obsticles. After retrieving the wool, they must make their way back without getting killed by enemies still guarding the wools.

Floating lava blocks let you fire flaming arrows if you shoot through them, which can burn enemies.

Cacti and lava await enemies that might get into the woolrooms.

Boundaries are marked with redstone, which tells players if they are "safe". In this picture, the red team cannot stand or build past the redstone line. They must stop the Blue team from entering!

The wool room features useful tools like speed potions, better armour (along with the wool incased in glass) to help their way back to base!
