All Networks A Giant Pile of Lucky Islands Suggestions

[Custom_Explosher]

I was told on another forum to post this here, which seems like a good idea. I've made some minor adjustments and explained in greater detail why I made certain suggestions.
CubeCraft Lucky Islands is probably one of my favourite Minecraft game modes period. It’s fun, chaotic, and has that same energy as playing Mario Party: a good amount of skill is required, but that scoop of luck brings it all together and makes it a blast. I think Lucky Islands has an untapped potential with the sheer amount of things they could do to improve the game mode (a good start would be fixing all the bugs), so I present a giant pile of ideas. Considering the amount of unbalanced and broken ideas I've got here, I wouldn’t expect everything to be implemented, if anything.
I’ve said this before, but I am not a game designer, and most of the things I say may be controversial, so feedback would be greatly appreciated.

NEW ITEMS​

• Infini-Carrot
  • A carrot, that when consumed, placed on farmland, crafted into golden carrots, or fed to pigs, replenishes itself.
• Player Tracker Deluxe
  • Works exactly like a regular player tracker, but also tells the user how many blocks away they are from the targeted player.
• Impulse TNT
  • Ignites when placed, acting like regular TNT, except it doesn’t deal explosion damage, nor destroys blocks, though has 1.5x knockback (launches the player that placed it at 2x knockback)
• Block Zapper (Iron Pickaxe)
  • When used to break a block, all connected blocks of the same type are broken as well, and put automatically into your inventory.
  • A maximum of 30 of the same block can be connected to the initial block, or the ability will not work.

• Rabbit Boots (Dyed Green Leather Boots)
  • Has Feather Falling II pre-applied.
  • Gives the player permanent Jump Boost III while worn.
• Basic Wall Wand
  • When right-clicked, a large wall (11 wide, 5 tall) is created, made out of brick blocks.
  • Cooldown: 40s
• Deluxe Wall Wand
  • When right-clicked on the ground (the block must be full sized, eg. not a chest, hopper, slab, fence, etc), a larger wall (13 wide, 8 tall) is created out of the block type right-clicked on. Blocks created by walls will not override existing blocks (Cooldown: 30s).
  • If the wand is used whilst selecting no blocks, non-full sized blocks, or blocks that would be too valuable to duplicate (listed below), a wall is created of the same size as the Basic Wall Wand (Cooldown: 25s).

• Villagers must perform a trade in the current highest tier to unlock trades in the next-highest tier.

• All probabilities within buy and sell offer amounts are equal (eg. the chance of a Weaponsmith buying 2 Iron Ingots for 5 Emeralds is the same as it buying 3 Iron Ingots for 5 Emeralds).

KIT CHANGES & ADDITIONS​

With these kits, I wanted to incorporate several of the ideas above, as well as making them more balanced. Additionally, I wanted to give more kits some blocks, food, armor, and weapons, to give every kit some sort of viability (for example, when was the last time you used the Seeker kit?) while still maintaining their niche purpose. The effects give a bit of spice to the kits, and gives each a unique play-style. The new prices you may ask? Well, get a random number generator, set the parameters between 4 and 20, and then multiply the result by 50, because that’s most likely how the original kits' prices were decided upon.

​

GENERAL CHANGES​

• Decrease the cost of all perks by 50%. All perks already bought beforehand should have appropriate points returned. Though the perks give minor chance-based conveniences, it still certainly feels unfair, especially for newer players.
• Port ALL (or at least as many as possible) of the maps/items/lucky block events from Java Lucky Islands to Bedrock Lucky Islands. Bedrock’s map, item, and lucky block event variety is significantly lacking compared to Java’s, especially when it comes to the Teams mode between each version.
• Fortune works on blocks it usually wouldn’t, like how it is on Skyblock (iron ore, melons, logs, etc). The effect only works on blocks that have been “naturally generated”; from the map or a lucky block event.
• Make the texture/item name difference of the Negative/Positive Potion Wand more noticeable, as it isn't super clear that the Potion Wand is split into two like this.
• After using the Shield Wand, a maximum of 5 hearts can be dealt from fall damage.
• If the Shield Wand is used below y level 5 (around where it can't save the player), the shield and the player will be brought up to y level 5, sparing the player. If this happens, the Shield Wand will be disintegrated.
• Have the ability to cancel the Grappling Hook bow ability by right-clicking.
• Riding on a pig will grant the pig and the player Swiftness III, and for 5s after dismounting. This change has been made to make the pig+saddle+carrot-on-a-stick drop less useless.
• The top-middle block in a cage trap is a block of obsidian rather than an iron bar, to prevent players from jumping through the holes created by iron bars.
• Dissolving Iron/Diamond/Gold dissolves slower while in the crafting grid.
• Pet Cats and Pet Wolves can be distracted by dropped Raw Fish and Raw Meat respectively, as to make cats' ludicrous speed less infuriating, and giving players an alternative to brutally slaughtering these poor animals.
• Witches on Bats can be stunned in place for 4s by any projectile (snowballs, arrows, etc.).
• Over time, the drop events from Lucky Blocks become more extreme, decreasing the chance of coming across drops that are more mediocre.
• Decrease the item smelting time by half.
• For whatever reason, camping is bannable. Before reading the rules thoroughly, I never knew this, and I'm sure this is the case for many other people. But whatever, camping is annoying and banning it is a solution I suppose, but I want to solve this issue from a more gameplay perspective. It should be disadvantageous to camp. To disincentivise camping, as well as making incredibly drawn-out games less frequent:
  • After 8 minutes from the start of the game (or 3 minutes after all but two players/teams are remaining), all players will be given a Player Tracker. A warning will be broadcasted in chat 15 seconds beforehand, so that if a player's inventory is full and they would need one, they have a bit of time to get ready.
  • After 10 minutes from the start of the game, all kit effects involving receiving an item after x seconds no longer activate past this point. Additionally, Lucky Blocks on the middle island of the map will regenerate.
  • After 12 minutes from the start of the game, blocks closest to the bottom, top, and edges of the world will start to disintegrate, and players too low, too high, or too far will start to take massive damage (a la the void). A warning will be broadcasted 60 seconds beforehand, so that players have time to run towards the middle of the map before their demise meets them.

If you’ve read this far, wow. Anyways thanks, and feel free to give criticism to any of the ideas above.

 

[Twixmeneer]

Really nice idea for the Gamemode! would love to see this completely new variaton ingame!

 

[Silco]

Amazing ideas! +1!

I'll agree to this and how long did this take you?

I'll agree to this and how long did this take you?

Oh man, I've been progressively working on this since like January
