A King of the Hill with no players on it.

King of the Hill, or KOTH, is a minor event occuring in The Pit. The event lasts for 4 minutes.

When the event is active, a circle made of diamond blocks spawns in a random quadrant of the map. Standing on the structure quadruples all gold and XP earned from kills. Assists are granted the same bonus if both the assistant and the victim were standing on the platform.

In order to receive the 4× bonus, the killer must be standing on diamond blocks. While upgrades, such as XP Boost and Gold Boost, increase a player's XP and gold, most perks, such as Olympus, are unaffected by the KOTH. Most notably, claiming a bounty on the KOTH will not reward the killer with 4× gold.

Two achievements can be earned from the KOTH event. "King of the XP" (15 achievement points) requires a player to earn 10,000 XP from kills and assists in a single event, and "Not much of a Hill" (10 achievement points) requires the player to stay on the diamond blocks of the KOTH for at least 3 minutes and 20 seconds.
