The broken randomize cage button problem​

---

Note: I already made a bug report about this, but wanted to know if there are more players with the same experience.

Recently me and a friend of mine noticed we always get the same set cages in Eggwars, even with the randomize button enabled as active cage. We got a couple of cages a lot of times, but there are some cages we never get. This was our reason to test it and find out if we could get all cages with the randomize button enabled.
This was the process of our test:

Step 1: take a look at all cages
For a good test, we both needed to get the same cages. Only by having the same cages, we could see if there was any connection between all the cages and the cages we got in the games with the randomize button.
These are all cages we have:
- Bee from Eggwars Rank
- Birthday Cake from Birthday Pack
- Blue Balloon from Hot Air Balloon Cages
- Carrot from Spring Bundle 2021
- Cityscape from Skywars Rank
- Cyan Wool from Eggwars Rank
- Green Balloon from Hot Air Balloon Cages
- Minecart from Spring Adventure 2021
- Mushroom from Eggwars Rank
- Mushroom from Skywars Rank
- Rainbow Cloud from Skywars Rank
- Red balloon from Hot Air Balloon Cages
- Sledge from Winter Bundle 2020

Step 2: join 20 games and see which cages we get
After we made sure we got the same cages, it was time to join some games.
In total we joined 20 games to see the possible cages we could get.

These are the results:

Spoiler: The results

Cage name	The amount I got it out of 20	The amount my friend got it out of 20
Bee from Eggwars Rank	6	2
Birthday Cake from Birthday Pack	0	0
Blue Balloon from Hot Air Balloon Cages	2	2
Carrot from Spring Bundle 2021	0	0
Cityscape from Skywars Rank	0	0
Cyan Wool from Eggwars Rank	0	0
Green Balloon from Hot Air Balloon Cages	4	6
Minecart from Spring Adventure 2021	0	0
Mushroom from Eggwars Rank	2	6
Mushroom from Skywars Rank	0	0
Rainbow Cloud from Skywars Rank	0	0
Red balloon from Hot Air Balloon Cages	6	4
Sledge from Winter Bundle 2020	0	0

Step 3: comparing the results
As you can see in the results, we both got the same cages.
This could show a possible bug in the system.
In total there were 40 chances to get each cage, but it seems impossible to get some cages.

What now?
After reading this, you probably dont know what to do with this thread.
Our goal was to discover if there were more players with the same experiences.
Please let me know what you think about it and share your experiences in the comments!
I think the randomize button should work, because it needs to be possible to play with all cages you purchased.

If this is indeed a bug, my suggestion would be to prioritize fixing this issue as it's currently impossible to get the cages you purchased with the randomize cage option enabled.

Please react with to this thread if you have this problem as well, or just want them to fix it.

I experience this problem aswell, it's pretty sad that I can't use all my bought cages via the randomize option.. I reported this aswell a few weeks ago and would love to see this getting fixed

I have a bug where I don't have any cages when random selected. My cage is invisible and sometimes it becomes glass.

Mine has only ever switched between Bee and Mushroom :/

I think to fix the issue cubecraft should just go 1 by 1 through each cage, as they all have an equal chance to be selected. I think the only thing stopping it is the glass cage issue

I have a bug where I don't have any cages when random selected. My cage is invisible and sometimes it becomes glass.

This issue makes it so the cage half disappears (if for example you have an eggwars kit) and if you click on the glass it disappears, so I think it is the same concept as ghost blocks. Once cubecraft fix's ghost blocks, this will be fixed leading to the randomised feature being useful.
