How is that even relevant? Let alone funny. This thread has nothing to do with dream and/or his fans.

Replay Mode

---

Hi everyone, I think that a replay mode would be a great feature for the developers to start working on, for a few reasons;

Reporting Hackers
One of the biggest reasons for this feature would be the ease of reporting people. It's currently a struggle to have to report every game to be able to report a hacker and /sr often doesn't get the hacker banned. Being able to send reports ingame directly towards the moderators with the click of a button would make it much easier to report players. Especially for players that play on devices on which it is even harder to record these hackers (mobile, console .. )

Reporting Bugs
Bedrock often has some random bugs which probably has to do with the way the server is running. The protocol developers are doing amazing work to improve the server and fixing these issues, but it can be hard to report them and for them to replicate these bugs, because some of the issues are rare. Being able to send these reports makes it even easier for developers to see how the bug could have occurred.

Better gameplay & content
A less important reason for me personally, but still worth talking about; players and content creators would love it. I'm sure players would love to replay their gameplay and learn from their mistakes but also by seeing other players' gameplay. Content creators can create awesome edits with this feature, making cinematic shots in third person for example.
Again, I think the previous reasons are the most important ones, but this feature will definitely bring more players to CubeCraft.

CubeCraft could even add this feature to some sort of special gamepass or to the current gamemode-specific ranks so that the reports would still be manageable.


Controverse

---

The replay mode feature is a highly requested, but also pretty controverse topic. With one of the biggest disagreements being the amount of time it would take and the amount of resources that would have to be put into creating this whole feature. I think we have to agree that this is indeed a fair argument and should definitely be brought into attention if this feature eventually would be put into the agenda, but I personally think the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

If we look at The Hive, a pretty big competitor to CubeCraft, we can see that they have worked a long time on this feature (about a year if I'm not mistaken) and it works amazing and players love it. It even is being used to report bugs and hackers because the replays can easily be replayed by the mods.

I personally don't agree with the fact that CubeCraft wouldn't be able to do it. CubeCraft has even more monetization than The Hive has and a great development team. Even though it wouldn't be possible within a short period of time, then that's not a problem. Not the whole team has to work on it at once and it also doesn't have to take a month. It doesn't matter if it takes a whole year.

---

Again, I understand the disagreements, but I think CubeCraft is the one that should be saying that it's not possible and not the players. It's worth the shot to get this feature forwarded and if the feature gets denied, then so be it. But I don't understand why we wouldn't want it, from the players perspective. ​

I agree! Some players have weaker computers and cannot use separate shooting software. I think this is a very good idea for reporting.

I agree it will help me with my videos

Great idea! Its annoying to have to use a specific mod or client just to have a ReplayMod, would be great to see one built in.

And there aren't any replay mods in MCPE that we can use in a server(or yes but it's hard to find one)

Well they can make their own.

Hello pieterpeer!

A replay system is definitely something the server team would love to implement in the feature. Unfortunately we can't give really any more details on how we would want to implement this and what features it would contain, but a replay system to our network would be a great addition according to us!
