First of all, congratulations to @Smoothlyy for winning the best suggestion poll of April! With a lead of 5 votes compared to the second most voted suggestion, and taking up 53% of the total votes, this is our number one spot of CubeRecap: April! You can vote for this month's best suggestion over here: https://www.strawpoll.me/20222561
Second of all, I still notice some players are like: why did my suggestion not get featured or how did this one even make it in the recap. Let me set a few things straight. Best suggestions were mainly selected because of the support of the community, the suggestion still needs to be possible to add on the server, or it needs to be extremely good and implemented threads can't make the list, because they already made it into the network. Hope this makes some things clear. Before we jump into it, I do want to mention that I have seen a lot of good, quality suggestions. Awesome work y'all!
Minerware - New Hard Mode [Revamped]
https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/minerware-new-hard-mode-revamped.235854/
https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/minerware-new-hard-mode-revamped.235854/
This thread made by @Axyy is first of all a very pleasing thread to read. Of course, we're not here to admire some colors, we're here for the suggestion itself. Minerware Hard mode has been a suggestion that speaks for itself, but what mainly made this thread stand out, are the new, revamped games. Games become harder, more challenging, and just more fun in general. Awesome work on the revamp Axyy!
Some of you might know me for the organized, structured player that has a difficult time to adapt to things. This is the main reason why I'm not such a big fan of the game, though that does not hold me back to feature it in this thread. A lot of work and ideas were put into this suggestion, which has really paid off. 102 community members!! -- have voted for this game to be added, with 15 people who don't want to see this becoming a game. It's a chaotic, fun, random game with a lot of things happening at the same time. Respect for putting so much work into it, @DrHam!
Tower Defence - Some Suggestions
https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/tower-defence-some-suggestions.235642/
https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/tower-defence-some-suggestions.235642/
We have a Tower Defence suggestion, woohoow! This time @Hoshi made some general, quality Tower Defence suggestions. From bigger teams, to tower placements, to instant upgrades to toggleable enemy health, you name it! A thread that gives us a bright idea of some awesome life improvements. Well done Hoshi!
Network - Map Choosing Menu
https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/map-choosing-menu.239674/#post-1145423
https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/map-choosing-menu.239674/#post-1145423
A small suggestion to end this list. @Anneum and 24 others who agreed to the suggestion, think it is a bit hard to see which maps are open and which ones aren't. Even I sometimes struggle to find an appropriate map, or I completely miss one and have to wait again. Open maps would get an enchantment and maps with zero players in it get a zero next to their icon. It's a really small suggestion, but can help a lot of players with their confusion/struggle. Cool idea!
This month's honorable mention goes to @TheSadPotato_! We staff members usually deal with a lot of anger from players. It can also be annoying for us if people keep spamming us with the same issue, or creating drama around it, while the issue has already been resolved. The suggestion itself can be looked at from a positive, or a negative perspective. People sometimes can be right, so it would be unfair to silence someone for being correct. However, the majority of people agree with the fact that there should be some sort of rule to avoid this issue. It can be a two sided suggestion, and you can look at it from both ways, but the majority agrees, so it made the honorable mention!
The creations this month were -- insane! There were so many good creations, and this was by far the hardest choice I ever made. There were so many wonderful creations I had to leave behind, but I made my top six! Enjoy the awesome creations our community made!
https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/solo-skywars-aqua.242090/
I really liked this map the second I saw it! The shark in the middle looks really good, the islands are cute and cozy, and just the whole map in general gives off those summer vibes. Very well done for your first ever map, @Skoedel!
https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/towerdefence-atlantis.241023/
Under the sea, dududu, under the sea -- and so on. This map built by @CrystalDrop seems like a really suiting Tower Defence map! It's big, it has a pathway, and players are still able to place towers incorrectly! How can this not be suitable?! Well done Crystal!
https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/some-of-my-own-favorite-drawings-sketches.242224/
A sketch! This is not something we see every day! This sketch by @Meiske looks so cool! The way this is drawn/sketched is so amazing and the black and white effect even makes it better. She made plenty of sketches in the same thread, so make sure to check those out too! Amazing sketch!
https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/pencil-drawing-master-chief.242047/
I was trying to think of a Halo reference, but I realise I never actually played it. That doesn't take away the fact that this drawing is literally insane! I couldn't even believe it when I first saw it. That something like this, can be drawn with a pencil, it's literally absurd. Stunning drawing @Simply!
https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/legendary-map-i-built-for-the-spring-contest.236075/
When I first saw this in the CubeCraft Spring Contest, I was blown away. I could not believe a human being is able to create something like this. There are of course hundreds of good builds all around the community, but this one really caught my eye, because of its esthetics. Amazing job @Diav!
https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/something-i-made.237868/
Last, but not least, we got a video! It's more about the creation itself, than the video, but @Lİoneſſeſ managed to create the ultimate, living parkour! I'm so hyped to try this at some point, but for now, I'll just admire it through the screen. Majestic parkour!
Meeeeeeeeeemes! There they are! A fresh load of five, amazing, funny and relatable memes, coming your way! Enjoy!
https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/ccg-memes.10860/page-386#post-1135827
When scrolling through the meme page, I found a lot -- and I mean a lot of memes about the Translator rank being introduced. Who would be the perfect man to make a meme about it? Of course, the legend himself
@Camezonda! Never knew he was into memes, but this one was really good.
https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/ccg-memes.10860/page-385#post-1134619
Yet again, another meme about the Translator rank. This time, not about the introduction of the rank, but about the perks they get with it. Don't let someone else take you down Translators! This meme war has started, and your work is very appreciated! However, good meme @komododragon 2002 :3
https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/ccg-memes.10860/page-403#post-1150020
We all feel this deep in our soul. We're too kind to say no, but deep inside we all want to say our thoughts. This seems like the ultimate chance to say my thoughts as well. I do not add people I don't know, so get that thought of adding me as a friend out of your head :devil:. Nonetheless, great meme @Brownieh!
https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/ccg-memes.10860/page-402#post-1149003
I've spent a minute writing this and the anticheat still hasn't been updated, tss. This is a very relatable meme, for everyone in the community, and I just love it. Great meme @Story!
https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/ccg-memes.10860/page-386#post-1135330
To finish this list, I found a meme of our lord and savior Marieke! Without her, the amount of open bug reports would create an even bigger bug, which then leads to more bugs, etc... Thank you, Marieke, we will forever be thankful, soldier! Great meme, @SCP-079!
We've again, come to an end. This one is a bit longer than usual, but it was all worth it. I sincerely hope you enjoyed this months recap. Just a reminder, DM's are always open for suggestions or feedback. To all of you, thanks! See you next month!
