Custom Miniatures

not to be rude but a little pointless lel

Explain. :)

Awesomeee +1!
I'd love to create my own miniature that follows me, imagine; a mini me/friend following me in the lobby

And it's a great idea to have the on/off toggling system, so you can decide what you want, as @BlueQuakeAdmin_ mentioned.

I do not have a rank, so I can not buy any minatures
But I feel that people that are able buy minatures would have more fun in the lobbies
Also ranks be worth a little more valuable if people with ranks can customize their pet

This has been requested before, but still +1 from me! :)

Sorry but I do not like this idea.

Look for example at the Teddy Bear miniature. It's a very rare miniature because you're only able to get it during the Valentines sale.
While you can find many skins that use that head. A player could simply buy a custom miniature and change his/her skin to that bear.
This could result into the value of miniatures being decreased. Less people would buy packs, they would rather buy the customizable one.
They won't need to buy packs anymore because they can change their mini to anything they like.

Completely no.

I have various reasons however one reason that players have not considered is moderation. Giving customisability to users ends up in a world of chaos for moderators when users start abusing that ability and creating miniatures with... Hitler or Naked skins, per se.

"We could add a /banminiature comm...". No. That's just too complicated and for such a small moderating team who are moderating an absolutely massive network. Also, it'd just be more work for the developers of Cubecraft to develop such a command.

"People aren't that immature". Trust me, some players find easy ways to abuse every single feature we give them. I went onto another Minecraft server which have customisable names for their pets and I saw an inappropriate pet name in the first lobby I joined.

Also, I agree with @Dotsially's point he made here:

Well, I agree on that people might would make miniatures that look exactly like other miniatures from other packs. This is the only issue with this suggestion. And if necessary, players could be able to report miniatures. Like as example at reports.cub... players can report players, can report skins, can report names and just a lot of other stuff, so why not adding reporting miniatures as well? But tbh, there are just two packs in the store currently to buy. And you guys could make that this miniature is only exclusive to obsidian rank or emerald rank or something, that not many players are able to have it. Nobody would spend 160p just for a miniature. And as I said, the only issue would be faking miniatures. There can't be any "inappropriate miniatures", how is an armor stand able to have a skin. It can't be a "naked" skin neither a miniature having the swastika icon or anything like that. An armor stand doesn't support skin functionality, and if mc would add in some update that you can set your skin on an armor stand, then I'm sure there is a way to bypass that. And the miniature names wouldn't be an issue either, just making it that all custom miniatures would be called "My Miniature" so players don't have any affect to the name. And I'm not trying to push CC to do that or anything, if that's a bit on the large side for CCG, then it is. But we players, those who can't rule about anything and just suggest stuff, aren't able to do anything about it. You guys rule that, and this thread was just an idea. What I'm trying to say is, nobody is forced to add this idea, but it would just really be a big hit.

EDIT: I forgot to add, that people then are just able to edit their miniature once after they bought it, and will forced to change their miniature if it has been reported or anything like that. If the report was successful I mean.

I agree with the fact that naked miniatures could probably not be created but there could always be swastika skulls or Hitler skulls which are not permitted. Also, I really do know that some players are very creative and could probably find a way to create other inappropriate miniatures.
It'd just be an annoying extra to moderate. Also, it'd mean that developers would have to work on moderation commands for the miniatures which would probably take time.

It's so much simpler to create pre-set miniatures which everyone can use and buy.

Well, players are very creative and always find a way to bypass something. And the reports wouldn't be that much tho, if it was only for obsidian then you have to calculate how many of the obsidian players would use an inappropriate skull for his miniature like there aren't even that much people with inappropriate skins or maybe are since I don't know how many reports CC has about it per day. But what I'm trying to say is, the chance that one would use an inappropriate miniature is very very small. The amount of players with the obsidian rank/that bought the miniature + the amount of how many players that have that miniature would have an inappropriate miniature + the fact that they would only be able to change it once and wouldn't use that chance to make it inappropriate. But well, I appreciate your opinion about this! And all the other opinions as well. I appreciate the arguments I've heard!

If this would be added (which sounds pretty cool to me) it will cost a lot of money compared to the other miniature pack.I think it should be at least €25 ($29,32) just because it's very special and the other packs are something like €5 ($5,87) but that's my opinion ofcourse.

Good suggestion tho +1 :D
