1.8

Hai
First things first, I am aware of any future updates that are also very important.
As the title says, this is all about 1.8.
I am open to critisicm, but read the thread before replying

Introduction

In my opinion, Cubecraft should be focussing both on future updates and 1.8.
Currently, only 2 games are possible to play using a 1.8 client, these being Skywars and Eggwars.

Update
Most importantly, add a whole 1.8 PvP server

Spoiler: Details about PvP

Currently, you are able to play in "1.8-combat"

The problem here is, the 1.8 combat settings are not implemented here. You can easily use axes to spam click, in the real 1.8 this is not a thing. And something that I think is really, really annoying is the block-feature that is also not possible in this "1.8 PvP".

If Cubecraft has the time and money (hosting and developing is not free :O), they could potentially also recreate Lucky Islands, Suvival Games and Blockwars for 1.8 too.

Stop lying about the size of the 1.8 community to push an argument. Hypixel has released public login data that shows a slim majority of the server is past 1.8, and that was 4 months ago so in all likelihood Hypixel is now close to 60% 1.9+

Additionally, stop thinking everyone on Hypixel likes 1.8 PvP. At any given time, about 26% of Hypixel is playing games that have nothing to do with PvP and an additional 44% are playing Bedwars. As it was on Cube, I'm going to assume about 75% of the Bedwars players play Bedwars because that's what the YouTubers are playing right now. That doesn't even include the people that like 1.12 combat but play Hypixel because their games are just a lot better, which from what I've seen as a lot bigger than you may think it is. Also, why does literally everyone ever in existence keep thinking that people either prefer 1.8 or 1.12 and there's nothing else to it instead of realizing that a majority of players will flex between versions depending on which one has more fun games to play. I 100% believe THIS is the cause of 1.12 having a smaller multiplayer base and it has absolutely nothing to do with the PvP debate as 1.8 just has a lot more going for it

So with that figure, 26% + 33% = 59%. This means that if Cube released good non-PvP games and did a very well thought out eggwars revamp, we could potentially take over half of Hypixel's players.

Only games I can agree to adding 1.8 to are FFA, Assassins, and SG. No other major (or formerly major) server has those gamemodes an it could be a big hit point for people to come to Cube. SG seems to have a large community that will version flex and it is a pretty unique SG, so I could see it being successful

Here's the issue with those photos. Cubecraft, running 1.9, will usually have around the same number of people as Mineplex. Hypixel is a massive server.

I think Pvp, SG, and Blockwars would be great for 1.8 as many players would enjoy it.

Omg can you stop making up these baloney facts. Im not going to argue the hypixel thing because idrc but when you say that the majority of mc players use the latest update and people ask for proof you say common sense. Thats totally not common sense. How can you even know what single player player bases are when its almost impossible to find out.

 

[SlipperyEJ]

Agreed. Im not sure how well lucky islands would do but sg pvp and blockwars would be great additions.

 

[CommunistCactus]

Considering mojang is rethinking pvp and might be a lot more like 1.8 than before I'd say it's better to wait.

Or a toggle function. Because after a while we got 3 pvp systems then: 1.8,1.9 and 1.13/1.14?

Or just 2; 1.9 and 1.13/14? Because it will be based on 1.8 and have all the new features which come after 1.8
EDIT: nvm forget all that

 

[Shrek Trained Me]

Why do people even try it these days

Because 1.9 became after a while to boring and easy. We want something new, a WHOLE server OVERHAUL.

neh lucky block is a super good game. that should be the first one to get updated

It would not seem bad to me if those games were added, but I see it unnecessary to add the PvP mode, since we have an NPC to play PvP 1.8
