Howdy, so currently we may be looking for new avenues of revenue and players have also been lost without access to mob arena for their own player head, more than the single access from challenges. My suggestion is to add player head purchase to the store, it is to buy your own player head only! You could sell singular and/or multipacks of the players head.

I know I would happily pay a few dollars or more for my own player head and I’m sure many others would, with gift cards or cash.

I know we aren’t strictly allowed to suggest things for the store but I really think this would be good for the community.

Let me know what your thoughts are below!

 

Bumping

 

I voted neutral on this but I do like the idea.

Reasons for me voting neutral are because earning your playwr head through completing /challenges is a player reward In game. If you were able to simply buy your own head from the store then it would reduce the heads value, and make them less of a reward to win.

Still, I like the idea of being able to redeem multiples of your head through the store, I juts don't think it would work alongaide winning your head once thru challanges completed.

 

Devil starts drooling*

 

Can we bring back mob arena?

 

No support bring back mob arena

 

hahaha totally

I agree with this. And considering I'm less than 3 months old in Skyblock world, I've never even seen MA!

 

While I appreciate you all taking the time to comment, my suggestion has zero replacement for any work that may or may not be done in mob arena and totally separate. So please take that to a suggestion about mob arena thank you. This is something that everyone can benefit from, skyblock gets more money and those of us with money or gift cards can gain access to more of our own heads, very simple.

 

Support.

Full disclosure, I didn't initially state my opinion specifically on the topic at hand because at first I wasn't sure I liked the idea of being able to purchase heads from the skyblock shop, and perhaps others are in the same boat. As if limiting the heads brings more intrinsic value to the head collection market. Ultimately though, this is flawed thinking, especially since MA used to be an avenue to receive copies. After taking some time to think about it, I agree with Leo; this would be good for the community. And what's good for the shop, is good for the continued presence and stability of the server.

 

Mob areanas was only on survival right? I don't recall there being a way to get multiples of your own playerhead on economy server. And as an eco main, there already is a good trade with buying /challenge playerheads. So being able to simply skip that stage and buy several heads from the store it would totally ruin the entire purpose and idea of earning it in game. If mob arena is global and for both servers I guess it would be a bit different, though that's why I guess they made it a challenge reward instead.

Going with what matt says about it jot being eula compliant, that's most likely because it would fall under buying insane balances from the store, just using the player heads as the fence for it., or a pay to win. Those reasons are why grass and iron was removed.

There's nothing wrong with. Using multiple player heads, but doing so in game means you've earned them. Rather than just buy duplicates and flood the server with low value heads eventually so I'll hold my neutral vote for now

 

That’s an interesting point but I’d like to know what part of the EULA, It doesn’t give a competitive edge or hurt other players gameplay, it’s accessible for free via challenges, but I’m open to your thoughts.

Challenges gives you access to one head, mob arena gave us access to hundreds. It will not lower head value, you can only buy your own head, if you want to “flood the market” it will be expensive and only says “LeoSteels Head” on it. I don’t see how this will devalue your own heads or stop players from using challenges, we would all rather have something for free than pay but after that one head, you cannot get your head anymore! I along with many other players like to give away our heads to friends and players and trade for other players heads, and currently we can’t do that. If mob arena came back I still don’t see why we couldn’t add it to the store, pending further look at the EULA.

 

Its a great idea! And atleast something new comes on the server! XD or maybe have a 1% chance of getting it in a leg crate

 

Hi Matt! Long time no see. I believe that your compliance concerns are based on the old Mojang EULA. It is true that once upon a time, Mojang prohibited many "Pay to Win" features. However, the EULA has been updated twice since then, once in 2020 and another time in 2023. The new EULA states that servers may make money by selling certain things, including but not limited to:

• Selling entitlements that affect gameplay provided they don’t ruin other players’ experience or give a competitive advantage in the game
• Selling cosmetics, except for capes or anything that attempts to visually act like the feature of a Minecraft player capeSelling and using in-game virtual currencies as long as they have no real-world value and can’t be cashed out, used, transferred across other servers, or converted into any other real-world currency

I believe that, since these player heads have no intrinsic value (beyond what players choose to assign to them) or practical usage beyond cosmetic decoration, allowing players to purchase ONLY their own specific playerhead does not infringe on the current EULA.

Here is a link if anyone wants to read the whole thing in full. TLDR: Just scroll to the section that says 'Servers and Hosting'

If it were possible to lock your own head until you had earned it via challenges, I think that would cover your concern. Make it so that you have to sell your own head 1 time to the store to unlock buying it back (for the same price initially), before you could buy more.

 

Whats to say person a)'s head is worth say 20mil in game. And it costs $10 from the store to buy. Peraon a) could buy their head and sell it for 20mil repeatedly, this would give them an unfair advantage over person b) who's head only values around 2mil but costs $10 to buy from store. So in that sense it would be a pay to win. I don't know if eco has ever had a mob arena so most of this suggestion is focused on survival, my answers are for eco.

 

But the only thing that dictates what person A’s head is worth is the person buying it, if they also know that you can buy them for $10 then no one will buy it for more unless they choose too. It’s a choice to purchase something after all.

 

How would this go against the EULA? How is selling player heads on the store different then selling elytra, beacons, or spawners?

 

Bump, we would like our heads please.
