Good day everyone! It's been like... I don't know, 17 months? Since I made a new thread... But I do have to admit I recently came back to Minecraft minigames somehow? And without the hackers they're actually pretty enjoyable, the server is going really well compared to a few months ago.
Now now, that said, skywars is my favorite minigame. Of all time. It is what you ask for, a minigame, a hassle-free experience and at the same time it features some of the best mechanics of Minecraft: Combat, building, resource gathering, crafting...
It really does have a good, solid base behind its concepts. But the way cubecraft does it... It's lacking. A lot.
A few parts of this suggestion might be related to other servers. "OMG PINGY hypixcraft and MinegommeHD have got the same concept!!11!! Booooo!!!1111"
Like geez chill. It IS NOT about who made what first. It's about delivering the experience the players want.
So here we go, finally.
Loot tables:
I know they're already getting a rework, but I still have no idea what kind of rework it will be so umm... Here.
You already know, loot tables are horrible. Atleast for armor and weapons. You literally can't get iron armor in chests, and diamonds armor is a super common occurrence. You can get a full armor set just by opening a single chest. In the meanwhile there's people who only got a stick and leather pants. I know skywars isn't supposed to be"totally fair" but uh... We don't really need diamond armor in normal. Atleast not in regular chests.
Not to talk about the enchants... Just broken. You can't enchant diamod chestplates & leggings as they're already enchanted, and they have two self-cancelling enchants (protection and projectile protection I recall?) Making it impossible to add enchants via anvil fusion / enchanted books.
So the fix would be not having diamond armor in regular chests, and having no enchants on the armor. Your can get leather, gold and chain in iron. All types of armor for all of the tiers. Diamonds armor is found in middle chests along with enchanted regular armor.
Skywars by itself is a pretty random and easy to understand game mode. You just hop in, and kill people. Lol.
While there's loads that could be done to expand this experience (ender pearls, TNT, minecarts, boats, water, cobwebs, etc...) Cubecraft is basically just... Go to island, kill. It's extremely boring after a while. TNT only comes in certain maps and in an expensive kit in a small amount, while enderpearls aren't even in normal mode and are rare in OP.
It just adds to the hop&play experience, you see, something to spice it up that cubecraft always missed. And you can feel that it missed it.
So, in mid chests, you could find enderpearls, gunpowder & sand (or directly TNT) iron ingots, enchanted books, and potions.
Skywars really needs something to make it less straight forward.
Then I don't know, that's it for now. You see, it's this easy to make skywars less of a repetitive gamemode, yet it's been the same for sooo long....
It's not like you can only have TNT and enderpearls and that's it, go wild: Slimeblocks, sticky pistons, redstone, dispensers, ender crystals, flint and steel.... anything really...
