So what if Hypixel uses these? They certainly weren’t the first to come up with the ideas for ranked and private matches. Concerning Guilds... Guilds can be renamed to any other name. Hypixel did not come up with the concept for guilds, clans/guilds have been in existence in many video games for a long time. They are sort of like eSports teams. Other servers have some of these, does that mean they are copying Hypixel? Plus, I have twists that I have added along the way to make it different from Hypixel’s version. I don’t understand how there’s an issue with piggybacking off a successful idea and improvising it. Just because Hypixel has it does not mean we should be stopped from having it.

And so what if Hypixel already uses it? They are the most popular minecraft server right now (90k+ players), so clearly they are doing something right. If cube wants these ideas to be implemented, then they need to use concepts from Hypixel, or another successful minecraft server, and modify it to their liking.
And I really don’t want to be disrespectful. But I’d rather have these questions answered by Smoothly since he made the thread and I don’t know if your answers are as he intended it to be...
And I have an extra question for Smoothly, say I’m in guild A can I do /g stats B and see B’s stats or will it be following the same trends as players level and such?
The guild prefix will only appear in lobbies and pre-lobbies(the lobbies for specific games). They will not appear in-game as that would be quite chaotic.
Ok. I've realized that this part is a tad bit confusing, so let me clear it up. The guild level can be seen by doing "/g stats". Moving on to guild points/exp, there isn't a points system in Guilds per se. To level up your guild you need to earn Guild experience, which can be earned through winning games and killing people in games. There is no "Guild Points" system. The owner of the guild can buy Point multipliers/Guild Experience Multipliers(Does not benefit you, benefits only the guild), and Normal Experience multipliers from the Guild store. I could see how this could potentially be abused, but if you limit the amount of multipliers you can buy at once then that greatly decreases the risk of abuse. I'm willing to change this specific idea about guilds.
I've seen ranked on other servers like Hypixel and Lunar, and I haven't really seen it divide the community how you guys are saying it will. Most of the people who want ranked are people who are super competitive and very good. I don't understand how that would divide the player base, what's the problem with giving a fairly big chunk of the community a better challenge.
So what I'm understanding from this, is that you support the idea but it may make require more server space and lag the server? First of all, I doubt a large portion of the server will be in private matches. Additionally, this is a ranked only feature and most of the players on the server have Stone rank. Finally, I don't want to sound entitled and all but it's very easy for cubecraft to upgrade it's internet/server space just like they did when SkyBlock was released.
Thank you for your thorough and thoughtful response! It means a lot to me.
First of all, you have made a good thread! It is looking pretty nice!
Second thing, I like the ranked part. I have always wanted a ranked 1v1 duels mode on cubecraft for a long time. Your thread can make this possible. About the gui thing, would be nice if they add this but I prefer the ranked modes.
I've been meaning to respond to this for quite a bit, but here it goes. Could you please tell me what possible exploits you can see happening? I would like if these can be corrected/fixed. I get what you are talking about, but I don't see any possible exploits that can be used to get XP and battle wins fast.

I dont say there is an issue I'm just mentioning it
You literally said you voted no because Hypixel uses it.
And so what if Hypixel already uses it? They are the most popular minecraft server right now (90k+ players), so clearly they are doing something right. If cube wants these ideas to be implemented, then they need to use concepts from Hypixel, or another successful minecraft server, and modify it to their liking.
You are acting like its a big problem that i voted no... If the idea is that good it will recieve more yes votes right?
I never said there was an issue, I was trying to say your logic is terrible. You said you voted no because Hypixel has this stuff, and then you said it isn’t an issue that Hypixel uses it. I don’t know how that makes sense.
It’s late for me so please don’t look at spelling mistakes and so.
Before I begin I’d like to thank you for making this so organized! It really adds a lot to the suggestion.
I that this hasn’t been added since it takes a lot, and I mean a lot of server space. Every match is another world so yeah...
So I’ll not be voting on your poll since I should be voting in a quantum state do vote according to my opinion.
I really hope this review can help you!
Sleepy regards Fesa :p

Would show up in tab in only lobbies as: PlayerName123 [GUILDPREFIX]
/g stats: (Shows the guid level, history, etc)
You do understand that that sounds funny, a prefix behind the name :p
Yes obviously there, but the question was meant as, where else will we see it, will it get like the prefix a place where it’s always/ in lobbies / ... visible?

Thank you for your thorough and thoughtful response! It means a lot to me.
Hello! I’m going to preface by saying that I got inspiration from a couple of threads from Dotsially. These threads had great ideas and a lot of support so I decided to piggyback off of them! Here they are: Ranked suggestion and Guild Suggestion. These ideas have been suggested before in the past but I would like to elaborate on them a bit more.
What is a guild? A guild is an organized group of players that frequently play on the server. You could compare to the clans feature in Clash Royale or Clash of Clans. Or like the clans that already exist on the server but far more elaborate and organized.
Why Guilds? Guilds can help players engage with the community. Guilds can add a new level of engagement in the server as people will work together to reach a goal. Guilds can add more structure and organization to the current clans/guilds that play on the server. It will add a fun, new aspect to playing with your friends and the community.
Guild Creation:
Anyone with Lapis+ and 5,000 points has the ability to create a guild with /g create(Guild Name). The player will then have the option to set the guild to invite only or public. The player will also have to choose the Guild Prefix(up to 5 letters). The color of the Guild prefix is grey at default other colors may be unlocked as the guild levels up. There can be up to 100 players in a Guild.
Commands:
This is going to be a simple list of commands for guilds
/g create
/g join(Name)
/g invite (Name)
/g leaderboard(Lists the guild leaderboards)
/g chat(Guild chat)
/g leave
/g disband(Disbands the guild)
/g settings(Pulls up the guild settings)
/g promote(Promotes someone to a trusted role or other guild roles)
/g demote(Demotes someone from a role within the guild)
/g kick
/g online(Lists online players in the Guild)
/g mute(Prohibits a certain member from talking in guild chat)
/g unmute(Unmutes a guild member)
/g stats(Shows the guild level, history, etc)
/g log(Shows recent actions performed by the guild “staff” team)
/g discord(Gives an invite to the guild Discord)
/g help(Brings up the list of guild commands)
Guild Ranks:
There will only be 4 guild ranks; Member, Trusted, Secretary, and Leader.
Member:
This is the most basic role. This is given to every new guild member. They can perform basic guild commands and have little to no perms.
Trusted:
Think of this as an officer position or a moderator. Trusted players can kick and mute players. Same as the Member rank but with a little more permissions.
Secretary:
This is similar to an Admin position. These players are very trusted and there are only a few of them. They deal with guild promotions and demotes, as well as invites, mutes, and kicks.
Leader:
This is the Guild owner/founder. They have all of the permissions stated beforehand as well as the promotion and demotion Secretaries. Additionally, they can activate Guild EXP and Point multipliers.
Guild Experience and Guild Leveling/Rewards
Guild experience can be earned by guild members when they get kills in games or win. Guild experience also levels up the guild. There will be a cap of 100k guild EXP per day that the guild can earn. As you level up you can unlock rewards. Leveling up can reward your guild with special cosmetics, the ability to earn more Guild EXP in a day, or the ability to change the color of your Guild prefix. Furthemore, another possible reward for leveling up is a small chance to get double exp in your games. This chance can range as you level up
Guild Store
A place where the Guild Leader may spend his points on cosmetics, Point, EXP, and Guild EXP boosters for the guild. Limit on how many boosters can be purchased at a time(1 day cooldown after buying 5 boosters.)
Guild vs. Guild
No, this isn’t a huge PvP battle between guilds. This is a competition between guilds on who can collect the most Guild experience in a set amount of time. Guild vs. Guild competitions will last either 3, 6, or 9 hours. All Guild Experience boosters will be turned off. At the end of the competition the winning team will either get a few Point or EXP boosters. There will also be a Guild vs. Guild leaderboard.
Guild Leaderboard
There will be 2 guild leaderboards. One for Guild levels and one for Guild vs Guild. The Guild vs. Guild leaderboard will show the guilds with the most Guild vs. Guild battles won. You can access the Guild leaderboards with /g leaderboards.
What is ranked? Ranked is a competitive version of games you play on the server. Ranked typically has divisions based on your rating. Ranked will not last forever, there are seasons and at the end of the season there is a week break to fix all of the bugs, glitches, and collect rewards.
Why ranked? Ranked provides a challenging alternative to players who get bored of normal game modes that would be interesting to have on this server. It’s a nice twist to the game modes that we have been used to for a long time.
Ranked Lobby/NPC
There should be an NPC in the main lobby that when clicked will teleport you to the Ranked Lobby. The Ranked Lobby will contain NPCs with game modes and if those NPCs are clicked it will teleport you to a game. These NPCs will also contain the leaderboards for ranked. There should also be an NPC where the ranked rewards will be located and collected. You will need to be at least level 10 to play ranked. A level requirement is necessary in order to prevent cheaters. There will be no level requirement for Tower Defence as it is not a PvP game mode.
Ranked Game Modes:
EggWars: 1v1v1v1 and 2v2
Duels: 1v1
SkyWars: 1v1v1v1
Tower Defence: 1v1
ELO/Rating System:
This is how it could possibly work(can be changed):
These will be the ratings for Duels, SkyWars, and EggWars
Rating between 0 - 250:
Win = +50 rating
Loss = -0 rating
Rating between 250 - 5000:
Win = +50 rating
Loss = -15 rating
In SkyWars and EggWars(final elimination) if you eliminate 2 players but get killed you will receive: +10 rating.
If you manage to break an egg in EggWars you receive: +5 rating
Tower Defence
Rating between 0 - 250:
Win = +50 rating
Loss = -0 rating
Rating between 250 - 5000:
Win = +50 rating
Loss = -10 rating
Duels will be the same as EggWars and SkyWars in terms of rating.
Divisions/Leagues:
Bronze League: (0 - 1000 rating)
Silver League: (1000 - 2000 rating)
Gold League: (2000 - 3000 rating)
Crystal League: (3000 - 4000 rating)
Champion League: (4000+ rating)
Rewards:
These will be given out at the end of the ranked season.
Possible rewards:
Bronze League: 2 cubelets, 1000 EXP, 250 Points, 50 Trophies, Bronze Hat.
Silver League: 4 cubelets, 2000 EXP, 500 points, 125 Trophies, Silver Hat, Silver Trail
Gold League: 6 cubelets, 1 super cubelet, 4000 EXP, 1000 points, 250 Trophies, Gold Hat, Gold Outfit, Gold Trail(arrow and cosmetic).
Crystal League: 8 cubelets, 2 super cubelets, 1 uber cubelet, 6000 EXP, 2000 points, 500 Trophies, Crystal Hat, Crystal Cloak, Crystal Trail(arrow and cosmetic), Crystal Outfit.
Champion League: 10 cubelets, 4 super cubelets, 2 uber cubelets, 10000 EXP, 3500 Points, 1000 Trophies, Special Win Effect, Champion Outfit, Champion Cloak, Champion Hat, and a Champion Trail(arrow and cosmetic)
Additional Information:
- Perks and kits will be disabled as ranked will rely on skill and a tad bit of luck.
- Trophies can be used to buy ranked cosmetics(kill effects, death cries, etc.)
- Ranked Season will reset once a month so that new people may have a chance for higher divisions.
Although most of this thread is
What are Private Matches? Private Matches are matches that don’t count for points or experience where you can just mess around and have fun or host tournaments.
Why Private Matches? Private Matches can be beneficial in a number of ways, people can now practice their pvp skills in a private match, they can do whatever they want like building a house, tournaments can now be held without the participants having fear of being banned.
Private Match Information
-Anyone with a rank can create a private match. To create a private type /private match.
-Once you type /private match in chat a GUI will pop up showing all the settings for your private match.
-The GUI will have several options, including which game mode you want to pick, the duration of the match(1-3 hours.), and the map.
-On Bedrock everyone will be able to create a private match with the /private match command.
-For EggWars there will be an option to set the voting options before joining the game.
-For SkyWars there will be an option to set the voting options before joining the game.
-For MinerWare there will be an option to set the voting option before joining the game.
-For Lucky Islands there will be an option to set the voting options before joining the game.
-Stats will not be affected in private matches. -Experience and points will not be gained as well.
Thank you all for reading! Many of the things I have written/suggested are subject to change. I have just provided a framework for some additions I would like to see added to the server. I would love to hear your opinions they are greatly appreciated!
I would like to thank @Dotsially or Despacito 2 for the inspiration even though he may never see this. Your threads helped me so much man.

We'd like to understand your way of thinking. Please explain why everything needs to be original.
