To make the game a bit more balanced for new players. To us it makes very little difference if the chests are hidden or not. If you just want to make accessing them more difficult put a block on top of them. Completely hiding them gives new players less loot and enables regular players to loot hidden chests on other islands making the game pretty boring.The entire point of hidden chests is you have to find them, why would that be changed?
Because there is no gamemode like skywars with less void. The closest is survival games, but the joined spawn point and not being able to place blocks make it a very different game. I would love to see a game that is effectively skywars on sg maps, but if that sounds too similar to sw and sg, I would like at least a few large and flat solo maps.Than why are you playing skywars?
