Java Lucky Islands What works what doesn't (item suggestion + bug report)

I made a video where I explain a few bugs, and item suggestion, and a map complain about luckyislands.

1. I think the swapper has been broken for a while for now, I suspect that a patch meant to fix a duplication bug with it ended up making it nonfunctional, this issue also exists on the bedrock version of lucky islands.
2. It actually can explode tnt but sometimes will not, the explosion it creates is extremely weak and may simply destroy the tnt block without causing an explosion, at least from what I have seen.
3. The voting system encourages players to support the development and cost of keeping servers open by purchasing the lucky islands rank. The ability to vote provides a major incentive for players to purchase this rank. I think lucky island solos on bedrock already has a relatively low proportion of players who purchase the rank compared to other game modes.
4. I completely agree that this is by far the worst lucky islands solos map for this very reason. You get an average of approximately 14 block from the blocks lucky block with a standard deviation of 5.3 blocks. Believe it or not, most lucky islands maps were made before the blocks lucky block even existed, and it was probably added because of the long gaps between islands in the TO4 maps. I liked it before because the game gave you few blocks and encouraged you to ration them, which also made the game a bit more distinct from sky wars.
5. This isn’t that big of a deal in my opinion but I can see why players would expect lightning to blow it up and it would be a fun tactic.

The swapper has been broken for a while, still waiting for it to get fixed. Yes it can, but i still havent figured out what angles to mainly do it with, and it just explodes the blocks. This actually is a good reasson to keep the old voting system, i didn't know about this even. I can see that, (about maps being created before lucky blocks), especially railway map, that map genuinly feels more of a skywars map than lucky islands. About the lighting wand, i think it could be a fun feature especially in clickbait map where tnt is in everyones islands, plus the traps you could make with it would be amazing. Thank you for the feedback i apreciate it!
