Criminal Showdown is all about the heist. Thieves drive to the bank at night, and attempt to rob it. They have to use explosives, or steal the PIN code, to break through into the vault and run away with money. Guards on the other hand, have to stop them from stealing any cash money. Both teams strive to their goals by using high-powered firearms and grenades or other tactical gadgets(riot shields, grappling guns, flashbangs).
Gameplay is quite spectacular, and has cinematic cutscenes built into the game. The server features a custom-made, 3D resource pack with awesome custom sounds. All of that, combined with very fun game mechanics, leads into long hours of fun for up to 12 players on a single map!

An idea to create this server has come to my mind when I discovered a bank heist map in Minecraft's featured maps. In that map, guards were running around with sticks and punching thieves,
while thieves' job was to pick up golden ingots all around the bank. I wanted my game mode to be a bit more like bank heists in movies, so I added guns, a vault that thieves can break in,
a big map and a lot more.
In order to make gunfights feel more impactful, every weapon has its own distinctive sound and there are also additional sounds like echo, bullet flyby sounds, and bullets hitting surfaces, to make it all more realistic and powerful.
