let's talk about :

1-no projectiles vote i don't know about you but i think skywars without projectiles like minecraft without blocks and by the way, skywars icon is a bow. projectiles is the basic element in skywars .
2-add tnt jumping kit or add water bucket to boomber kit .
3-reduce the building limit on Y level to prevent camping in skybase .
4-add shield to archer kit and remove chain chestplate .
5-add vote for world borders activate yes or no. borders starting for example after 5-10 minutes in solo mode, and 10-15 minutes in team mode it's a good idea to make speed game of skywars without campers.

If you have something to say, choose a number and choose whether you agree or disagree ( explain please )

DON'T ADD WORLD BORDERS, THIS IS NOT SG

2-add tnt jumping kit or add water bucket to boomber kit .

Meh there are lots of maps with water. We don't really need this, but it would be nice

3-reduce the building limit on Y level to prevent camping in skybase .

This already exists(?) not sure. I agree tho

I meant reducing it for example from 80 blocks reduce to 40

that sorta ruins the tactic of building up and jumping on someone

 

[MagnificentSpam]

I just want them to add bows again.

Vote for projectiles or them can maybe just add a section in skywars lobby there's only projectiles

A fair voting system would obviously be better, but really not enough. Curretly I can play with normal projectiles maybe 1/10 games, with a fair system it might be 1/3 games. I want a way to play with normal projectiles every time. We have the technology to do that, we even have the lobby from the no kits and abilities mode.

Which of these would be best to make sure its possible for players to use proj in skywars?

1. Make no proj its own board.
2. The items needed to craft bows and arrows can be found in chests in no proj.
3. Projectiles start to appear in refills in no proj after 5mins,

me too .

Projectiles start to appear in refills in no proj after 5mins,

well, good idea .


My sixth suggestion :
6-if you killed someone you will get regeneration 1 and strength 1 effects for 5 seconds. that will be helpfully against cleaners .

 

[ItsDavey_]

I’ll keep it short.
Remove “no projectiles” or revamp it.

Also make it able to talk in team chat when you died. (Yes I suggested This earlier, but me is told When you die, you are completely removed from the team, when you still get the win).

 

[Jef15ist]

Is there any way to make sure that the first chest opened gives you the "Weapon" for your Island? (If you got armor than obviously a weaker sword and vice versa) helps countering rushers in No Projectiles.

Also removing the Sharpness 2 Iron sword. Simply put the maximum attack damage should be capped to 7 rather than 7.5 (Without enchanting where a diamond sword with sharp 1 is easily the best)

Also in Basic mode people using the Sharp 2 Stone sword (Swordsman kit) have a massive advantage. Kits aren't supposed to give you a whole dub. Solution for this would be to make kits dynamic and change according to the mode. In Basic the kit could give a sharp 2 wood sword, Normal Sharp 2 Stone sword and Op sharp 2 Iron sword.

Nerfing the scout kit. It's become too op, nerf the duration. (10 sec)

2-add tnt jumping kit or add water bucket to boomber kit .

Water buckets exist in the fisherman kit, and Bomber is pretty much enough for TNT jumping. You'll usually end up finding at least 1 water bucket/lava bucket per game.

As for projectiles:
-Remove all ender pearls from the chests in no projectile mode, even the ones from the refills. They're projectiles too, and they're unnecessary since there's no risk in bridging anyways.
-Remove eggs and snowballs from normal projectiles, but keep bows. This way, you don't have people complaining about being egged off, and there's still skill and risk involved in bridging over to another place. Eggs and snowballs can be kept in soft blocks mode due to its nature. This change would encourage people to actually play with projectiles some more.
-Give normal projectiles a chance for being picked when the votes are a tie, because no projectiles always takes priority in a tie for some reason. a 50/50 vote basically favours no projectiles no matter what.
-Make projectile voting as a whole, chance based. This way, normal projectiles still gets a tiny chance of being picked. I rarely play skywars anymore because of no projectiles.

Chest balancing:
-Ensure everyone gets a roughly equal of armour. It doesn't have to be powerful armour, but just ensure that every player gets around 5 full armour bars from their chest loot. (It could be 4-6 full armour bars, just no unbalanced 3 bars to 7 bar difference). The amount of armour bars everyone averages around is obviously based off of the mode.
-In OP, everyone gets a full set no matter what, enchanted with good enchantments or not.

lol i think you didn't see my luck one time i played a game with boomber kit i didn't find water bucket in my island so i went to kill someone and get water bucket do you know what happened ?
i won with 8 kills and i didn't find water bucket .
#sad_story

and lava bucket is bad idea because everyone see me and fire on my body will targeting me .

1- YES
2- Or make water buckets a basic thing in the chests?
3- Yes
4-Ya
5-No, i want to trap people without getting killed by a border.

Instead of moving no projectiles to a different board, which would be unfair for players who bought rank specifically to vote for that, change it so votes from projectiles are randomly chosen no matter what projectile mode has more votes

3 votes - No projectiles
1 vote - Soft blocks
1 vote - Normal projectiles

^ Least voted mode still has chance of winning

Why? They can still play the game they wanted to. They should not impose something like no proj on people who dont want it

Donators would see a lot of non-donators playing for what they payed over €50 (idk in pounds), anddd games would starting to fill slower because of another board being added
