Add more non-pvp games, limit 1.8 expansion

[Qin Shihuangdi]

I honestly have no clue why people keep saying that bringing back 1.8 will do any good. It’s just gonna waste dev time to accomplish very little. The better idea is to focus on adding more non-PvP games and modded games. So instead of being idiotic and adding 1.8 modes, add some of these modes to get players back. (I’d recommend removing the 1.8 network altogether)
I completely forgot about KitPvP and Assassins while making this, disregard the 1.8 stuff and add those two to 1.8 network. Maybe SG as well

Note: All games should be 1.12 only unless they say (1.14)

Vanilla Skyblock
Vanilla skyblock is exactly what you think it is... vanilla skyblock. It’ll be a very simple thing, everyone can get a 250x250x250 cube to build in and can invite up to 9 other people. Skyblock will be very basic, with each island getting an economy.

Modded Skyblock
This one is slightly more complicated so I’ll go into more depth about it. This will be a more modern based Skyblock system with greater technology. You can build industrial factories to build farming equipment, chainsaws, improved mob grinders, as well as custom items that can be sold in the hub. Custom farms such as for concrete could also develop.

Vanilla survival
Vanilla survival will be a non-competitive gamemode that’s basically a free for all. Nothing is formal, except for an anti-grief plug-in no plugins will be added to this mode. The world border will be at +-125,000 and will just be survival, nothing else to it.

Competitive Survival
This will be the same as before, except there’s no grief protection and pvp must be enabled.

Factions
Self explanatory

Build battle!!!!!!
Why hasn’t this been re-added yet?
Hypixel’s mode is far from perfect and as long as you don’t screw something up I feel you could take at least 50% of the consistent build battle players. Concrete makes a lot of builds look much better. Also, another spot to go after Hypixel is with the people that spam vote Super Poop. Instead of judging your own game, two 16-player games will go on at once. You'll instead judge the OTHER game so that your game is completely unaffected by the voting and you won't have to worry about super poop spammers.

Spoiler: (LONG!) List of possible themes

Not gonna finish this list right now. Y'all get the point, maybe I'll finish it later

Treasure Hunting (1.14)
This game is pretty self explanatory, it will be a competitive game to earn the most money in 15 minutes. It will be a land, sea, and air fight to earn the most money by treasure hunting. Land has the most treasure but in the lowest amounts, air is the other way around, and sea is an intermediate. However, the catch is that all treasure has to be processed before it can be properly utilized. It's then stored and other players can steal it. PvP is only enabled within 15 blocks of your hidden chest. You're also limited to 3 inventory spots, requiring frequent trips back. In the air, treasure is captured by flying through an end gateway with the middle block instead being a shulker box. On land, cauldrons can be found. Underwater is just standard chests.

Ok that's enough for now

 

[Gainfullterror]

Man... I'd do anything for a proper modded skyblock server associated with Cube.
Now, by modded, do you mean the usual modded skyblock with ex nihilo 'n stuff? Or custom server coded stuff?
Anyways, as much as I'd love to have modded skyblock, I don't think it would appeal to many players & it'd be a huge jump from making plugins and such for vanilla.
Vanilla skyblock is a yes for me btw.

Expanding the 1.8 network is definitely a good investment since there's plenty of 1.8 players that would play minigames like Blockwars or SG a bunch. It'd reel in a lot of players.

Build battle. Gotta say: People love it, and cube's really hurting themselves by not adding this despite having the version advantage where we have many more blocks to our disposal.

Treasure hunting as you described it sounds similar to Present rush, and we do already have a lobby game based off of treasure hunting. I'm not too keen on this one, but it actually does sound like a fun minigame to play.


I've never been the biggest fan of factions or survival servers, so I personally wouldn't play with it. Judging by the conditions with competitive survival, it just sounds like a factions-esque gamemode but without the claims. I wouldn't play it myself since it wouldn't be as playable as factions is.
Vanilla survival has potential, but Cube would need a lot of storage for the big world that's needed for that. I have a feeling that newcomers would be at an insane disadvantage due to poor starting conditions & nowhere new to explore.

Survival games sounds like somethin that players would like, but for non pvp maybe freebuild? Idk but SG has been suggested a lot for 1.8. I like the sound of removing it, but that would anger a lot of players and potentially cute the player count in two.

Double post sorry

You know I Gotta admit build battle would be lit. Im actually a professional (If you know what that means) on hypixel.This is one of few games I would play here opposed to hypixel.

 

[BadGuy]

I would like skyblock ONLY IF THERE WAS A MONEY SYSTEM because then I could sell rare stuffs

About the vanilla survival bit a starting kit with saplings food and a good pick as something you just start with would mostly make that redundant.

With this, you'd basically be forcing them to make a tree farm, giving them plenty as a starting kit, meaning it wouldn't be true to the survival experience. I myself am not a fan of starting kits or kits in general, but rather just starting completely naked & needing to collect resources instead of starting with them.

Good point other ideas for a better starting environment?

 

[Despacito 2]

I still remember when me and my friends used to play survival on a cracked mc server. Grieving protection and no PvP. Only us isolated from the others on the top of a mountain. Gathering resources to go to the nether and to expand our territory.
I would really enjoy if Cubecraft added a non competitive 1.9+ survival server. But I would also like if it has its own economy so if players want more non-grievable chunks they'll have to pay to be able to claim them. Eventually if the server is overpopulated they could add another server for players to have a fresh start.
I wouldn't enjoy losing all my progress by some restart.

I like Skyblock. I honestly don't understand what's keeping them so long to release it. And by modded do you mean with Spigot? Because I'm pretty sure Cubecraft wouldn't want to release servers with forge mods since it can get quite messy.

I know Buildbattle can be quite troublesome when people help their friends out or build innapropiate things. But the game itself is quite fun and if Cubecraft decides to add newer blocks then it could certainly attract more players.

I had a similar idea in mind with the Treasure Hunting game but instead was just Skywars with water instead of void.
Meh, I wouldn't mind playing it if had the same mechanics as relic hunting and it would be some kind of race.

Okay I don't think Cubecraft will be able to implement other games to 1.8. They'll have to code them from scratch and add Achievement support. Which could take quite some time. I wouldn't mind dropping 1.8 support but that would mean that Cubecraft would lose some players.

 

[CommunistCactus]

+9001 for vanilla survival with grief protection

 

[Luzario]

professional

It's a rank for the gamemode on Hypixel. For all the wannabes who never leave Cubecraft server.

Yes. Having two networks just splits everyone up and does no good. 1.8 is old, Minecraft is moving on, if you want new features you need to move with it.

Vanilla Skyblock
Vanilla skyblock is exactly what you think it is... vanilla skyblock. It’ll be a very simple thing, everyone can get a 250x250x250 cube to build in and can invite up to 9 other people. Skyblock will be very basic, with each island getting an economy.

Do you mean just like a big break of blocks or that little one island tree? I'm good with either.

Modded Skyblock
This one is slightly more complicated so I’ll go into more depth about it. This will be a more modern based Skyblock system with greater technology. You can build industrial factories to build farming equipment, chainsaws, improved mob grinders, as well as custom items that can be sold in the hub. Custom farms such as for concrete could also develop.

Like with a modpack or plugins? I feel like having it with a modpack won't work out because people will need to download the mods, something a lot of people don't do, then need to play that instead of vanilla and change back for most servers.

Vanilla survival
Vanilla survival will be a non-competitive gamemode that’s basically a free for all. Nothing is formal, except for an anti-grief plug-in no plugins will be added to this mode. The world border will be at +-125,000 and will just be survival, nothing else to it.

This would need to be whitelisted, forum members only? Because if we let everyone on there is no chance of stuff not getting ruined.
