Java Loot preview

[Wqsknijper]

Hey there, fellow CubeCraft community members!

My idea (just found out there's an older thread out there: https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/loot-previews.232292/) is to add the ability to preview some loot-items (Win Effects, Arrow Trails and Cages).

Why?
Because it's annoying to needing to keep switching throug games (or maybe even tryharding to win one) to be able to see your loot item. Although it isn't necessary for gameplay, it would definitely make it easier to choose loot.
Having to win a whole game to just preview a win-effect or having to join a multiple games to choose a nice cage, especially if you have a lot of cages (I have 88), is very annoying in my opinion as it could just be 10x easier.
Arrow Trails aren't necessary though, but they could be previewed.

What it does:
- It will teleport you to a random place in the lobby and then it will show the loot item:

• Win Effects:
  Show a NPC of you with the wineffect being displayed around it.
• Arrow Trails:
  Show an arrow traveling through the air with the effect behind it.
• Cages:
  Show the cage in the air, it will fly you around the cage.

How to activate preview?
Just shift-click the loot-item you would like to preview!

How to deactivate preview?
Shifting will teleport you back to your old location.

I hope this idea will get implemented, also if you think something should be different or you just don't agree just let me know what you think by responding! (Not required tho)

Thanks in advance,
Wqsknijper :)

I do have this strugle many times, so a loot preview would be really nice to have. I really hope something like this gets implemented!

Definitely a yes from me. It's so annoying sometimes to join a Skywars game just to see how your cage looks like. This has been a struggle for years already, and I've always thought of some sort of Loot Preview like you mentioned above! I don't think this requires that much development work, but I think it's definitely worth it!

Yes please. It’s frustrating to join a game to see that a cage or win effect looks like ingame.

I think this would be great for every loot item tho...
Not only ingame stuff. It would be great for shields, banners, trails, miniatures and anything else.

I would love this!
I've seen this on other servers and it's just way easier to see what you like the most instead of getting into games to choose one. For example, if you want to choose your arrow trail but you have so many that you have to go into a game so many times to see what you like the most which is really annoying..
Hope this gets implemented!

You can just equip them to see how they look. That is just as fast

True. Though, it would be nice to view them while looking around yourself
