Hello!

Due to so many different conflicting discussion/opinions going to make a bunch of threads in relation to some of the poll suggestions proposed from this thread: https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/the-next-skywars-update.191642/ This will mean we get more direct information on each suggestion.

Map Specific items
What are map specific items? Items designed to the suit the theme of the map, for example on the map Candy, cake is more likely to spawn. Custom items can be a fun and weird feature. Although they do have their flaws and can sometimes spawn too much on certain maps, sacrificing the need for more useful items. Please discuss and make sure to vote on what you want!

Map specific items are great and I do like the thought and effort which goes into each of them. It is annoying to get knocked off the edge in general and having knockback items which allow this to occur easier obviously makes it more annoying. But I feel like removing these items will take away from the main game itself. I think skywars is great and so are the map specific items.

The map specific items should stay. They're a fun addition to the map and the game. There are some map specific items with knockback on it, but that should also stay as there aren't that many map specific items with knockback on it and they're also just map specific items which are a fun addition to the map and the game. I really don't think the map specific items should be removed.

I like the map specific items, and it pretty cool too. So you don't have everytime the same blocks/loot. Also in overpowerd you have the music disk (Sharpness V) What has make a lot sense in the map.

So in My opinion I'd like to let the map specific items stay. And No, do not remove the knockback items because they are fun to use.

maybe If players don't want it, it could be added as feature, giving an vote option

I do agree that they make specific maps better than others and more exciting, but they do need to be removed or nerfed extremely. For example, on the solo map "Sport", a knockback football just removes the whole idea of pvp, all you need to do is just hit them once and they fly off the island. On the Team Skywars map "Dinosaur", a knockback 3 bone is way too OP, again, you just hit a player once and they fly off the island easily. You're probably seeing a pattern here, its just the knockback specific items really which aren't good. So I vote for the knockback items to be removed only, and for them to get replaced for better ones.

I agree that Map specific items can give something extra to the game mode, but I have experienced tons of times where I've been hit once and I just knocked off the island (pretty annoying tho). For example on team SkyWars map Pacman, ''the point'' is quite overpowered in mid, because the mid-island isn't that big.
And like @Camezonda said, on the Team SkyWars map Dinosaur, the bone is just too overpowered, in any way. For example in mid, there is a big volcano in mid, what makes it quite easy to knock someone off mid.
It makes it quite easy to win, just to knock everyone off. So I would like to see it removed or just apply it on the maps where it isn't that easy to knock someone off the edge, just because the island is too small.

Map specific items is a really good addition, but as said above, most of them need a nerf. Knockback football is one of them, I don't mind if you maybe add something else instead, lower the knockback enchantment or replace it with another enchantment, but it definitely needs a nerf. Special items like glass blocks in the map glass or wool in rainbow, don't affect the gameplay and don't need to get removed. I hope the items will stay, but the ones that need a nerf, get a nerf.

Love map specific items but the ones that are already there need to be nerfed or buffed depending on the item.
Some of the items are just useless, sharp II shovel for example. Others are waay too strong, knockback football in Sport for example.

I think the power and usefulness of the items needs to be just as high as those of kit-items. That way people will probably use the items but not as heavily as the football.

Also, I don't think the items always need to be a weapon.
Maybe an item that gives you jump, or speedboost (could be a cookie in candy)
Or a chestpiece with a lot of thorns but low durability (a footballshirt??? :D)
Could also be nausuea potions or smh, just not a sword or tool you can hit people with.

I like map specific items as they give maps their own feel to playing it, offering lots of variety in playing on different maps.
One problem I see however, is that some items are ridiculously overpowered. One of them being the Football from the Sports map. In normal it's knockback 2 which is really powerful as it is, and in OP it's knockback 3. I know it's called OP and all, but knockback 3 is too extreme.
This item specifically could be nerfed in a way that it's knockback 1 in normal, and knockback 2 in OP.

Try to keep map-specific items as a secondary weapon that only helps a bit. Possible enchants being Fire Aspect 1, Knockback 1, Fortune 2, etc.
(By the way, are the sharpness 5 base items even worth using? I never tried it and they seem pretty useless to me)

They are very useless, the only good fighting items are the knockback ones. Thats why I wanna see more non-attacking map-related items :D

In my opinion map specific items make our Skywars even more special than any other skywars on any other server. Although for the knock back ones, they are too overpowered as said above. In my opinion they should be revamped, so they are a great addition, but they won't be too overpowered. For example: in the map bones, the knock backfor the knockback bone increases depending on which mode is selected. I think that the knockback should always be level 1, so it's a bit more balanced.

Anyway, I got another suggestion that I didn't know where to place. It's related to items, so I'll post it here :)

IN my opinion the chests are a bit of a mess, there are for example way too many helmets in 1 chest and no swords in it. In my opinion this should be balanced better and especially for solo as you know how many helmets the player will need (only 1 of course).

The sharpness 2 shovel is actually too op imo, it is on the maps candy and candy, mid is 80% snow, the shovel is an infinite snowball machine.

I like the 'map specific items' the way they are, the knockback items are also very fun to use, and it gives the 'not so good' players also an opportunity to win the game!
I would like to keep them the way they are.
