Here's why UHC is dead and how to fix it + 1.12 Factions

[Qin Shihuangdi]

Remember, boycott continues until Cube updates to the latest version so update to 1.12 before doing this

Excluding the game-killing bug currently affecting UHC, I have no desire to play this because of how non-vanilla it is. Here's how to do a complete overhaul:

Spoiler: Maps

Ok, who thought of the idea of making non-vanilla maps. It was absolutely horrible. It's not UHC unless it's a completely vanilla map with absolutely no changes. Think of everything we miss due to these horrible worlds - woodland mansions, villages, igloos, mesa mineshafts, and in extremely rare cases the outer end islands. The map should be +- 1250 from 0 , 0

EXCEPTION: Do not include deep ocean biome. Losing the ocean monument is a worthy sacrifice to not have a large section of the world be ocean.

Spoiler: Voting Options

As if non-vanilla worlds weren't stupid enough, Cube found another deterrent to true UHC players through the voting options. Most UHC players don't like when the game is made easier, so making voting options that make the game easier isn't going to draw in players.

Overhauled Voting Options:
Shields (Gold)
Full shields, 1.11+ (default)
100% blockage in 120 degree radis

Limited shields
67% blockage in 120 degree radius

No shields
Shields are not craftable

Healing Items (Emerald)
- All (default)
- Limited
No notches and totems of undying
- None
10 hearts. Nothing comes back

End Portal (Obsidian / Lapis)
- No (defualt)
- Yes
Spawn an activated end portal at (0, 62, 0) 25 minutes into the game.

That should do the trick for UHC. Now onto factions:

Factions should be like a typical factions, mostly vanilla with some custom enchants. The world border should be at +-100,000 from spawn. This will give a 10 billion block world, which is plenty for factions. If Cube doesn't want to have too many people, shrink the border inwards.

I know some of you will say "But 1.12 has chorus fruit, totems of undying, and you can fly with elytra up with fireworks!"

Well I have some easy solutions to these. Chorus fruit can easily be stopped through a double wall sign trap, which will make them fall all the way down, likely to their death.

"But the totem will let them survive"
Yes, it will, BUT, finding a woodland mansion is rare enough for this to be a small issue - I made 10 survival worlds an the average position of the closest mansion to spawn was at x+-5789 and z+-4212. There aren't enough woodland mansions to go around for totems to be a consistent issue.

Elytras aren't an issue nothing else to say.

Other than that, should be vanilla bye.

YES!!!
I LOVE ALL OF THIS!!!

Amazing ideas!
Let's hope UHC comes back to life.
I would be so exited if factions comes back to the server, it's something I've always wanted to play factions but, I haven't found any community appealing enough.
+1*

I thought shields blocked 178 degrees?

 

[Deleted member 377664]

I voted factions as this is very known by players and players play this often (not everyone ofc)

I think this might help revive UHC a little. Vanilla maps is what would make it better as that is why I stopped playing and also because I am not a huge fan of UHC.
+1

 

[Unipotatoo]

Agreed with everything besides factions, Cube isent really a server I see doing factions lmao

 

[OnePointEight.exe]

This is how I see UHC beings semi revived. Yes make it vanilla, make it as vanilla as possible, however remove speed mode and just combine them into one. Make it cutclean

Spoiler

Cutclean is basically speed mode, animals drop cooked food and ores drop the ingots and xp. This speeds up the process

Remove the kits :/ bows are pretty op not going to lie. It should be endless not netherless however. I think there should be 5 steak as starting food, as for voting options there is OP mode, standard cutclean and non cutclean, OP UHC means ores and food drop in either groups of 2 or 3. Whatever seems the most balanced to staff? A second voting option could be Timber

Spoiler

Should be self explanatory, breaking one block in a tree cuts the whole thing down

Fireless (everyone gets fire res) Both could be on the same voting "paper" with the addition of nothing.

IF YOU WANT TO READ ANYTHING LET THIS BE IT. So what did I mean by semi revived as opposed to fully revived, the game has no players, games never start. So what I think is there should only be one hosted every hour. Opening X:55 and starting at X+1:02

Spoiler

You can join 5 minutes before it starts but it doesn't start for another 7 minutes

Please tell me what you think \^=^/

Why don't we just throw UHC into the recycle bin and replace it with a PUBG clone instead?

 

[OnePointEight.exe]

Because that's too mainstream, besides, how long do you really think people will play that before they get bored? UHC is a classic.

 

[xItsRoy]

Yea I think many players like Factions

I'm pretty sure it will take a while before that happens if you look at the actual game:

 

[OnePointEight.exe]

How many of those 3 million play Minecraft? @The First Hokage I wouldn't mind seeing a Battle Royale tbh.

 

[OnePointEight.exe]

Thanks for the likes @CommunistCactus and @CommunistCactusfanboy but feedback helps ideas grow and become better, all likes do is make me feel bubbly inside, give me as much criticism as you can >:]

 

[Unipotatoo]

AGREED!

 

[SlipperyEJ]

No one would play a 1.12 factions just saying. Any competitive faction likes 1.8/1.7. Fights would take forever. Factions is suppose to a fast paced game. Think about it by the time it takes to fight your away into a cannon box all walls are already through with.

Once again, high gear fights in 1.9.2+ aren’t even a third of the 1.8 time. Try playing a 1.12 server

which will prolly be just as bad as the Overwatch clone they already have in the Island Games? lolplzno

 

[Despacito 2]

Well if they actually spend time and effort thinking about their projects then I doubt it would turn as bad as Archer Assault lol.

Lol, cube actually spending time on something makes them take literal YEARS to finish the project *cough* skyblock and parkour *cough*
