    Hello, I would like for the server to have a bot which says questions in the chat for rewards. Questions could be anything. Example, a bot says, "who is the owner of the server." Then, people in chat would respond and the first person would get a reward. This could be grass, or items like the ones in mob arena. I believe this would make the server more interactive and interesting, as sometimes I see silence in the chat which doesn't seem too good. This would be especially awesome when the server has less people or when people are afk.

    However, a problem that might occur is spam when the question is asked. I can not think of a solution, but still believe this is a decent idea.

    I think that this would cause more cons than it would pros. It's a nice idea, but I just don't think it would be the best option for people to interact. Sorry, but no support.

    Neutral. I agree with bunny but maybe unsramble the words games would be nice.

    Well, the idea seems great, but here are some tweaks that might be useful:

    • The bot should post in a public channel, not the global channel. To view the bot chat, you shout type /chat bot. To return to Global Chat, you should type /chat global.
    • This would take quite some programming to launch to the official skyblock server.
    • Might not work well with lag
    • The bot has to have the ability to save and record all of the messages said in that channel.
    • Don't see why the idea may help the server, unless it is like the org server, and nobody is on. (But then you would have nobody to compete against. :( .)
    I will do future research regarding the idea.

    Thank you for taking the time to make a suggestion!

    We already have a large amount of grass in the economy. No support because we don't need any more of it.

    No support, it would cause too much spam.

    idea id nice but I'd rather not answer a question that some bot formed and always get it right. It'll get boring after a while and annoying too

    Well we havea lot of new players soo they need grass. Plus a lot of people.need grass to buy diamonds

    All the old-time players would know the skyblock questions, and the older players may know most of the other questions. So it would be extremely hard to find the right set of questions for everyone. And for reasons stated above, I am having to say no support :( Sorry :(

    Unscramble the word games would be very nice for community engagement since chat can get super slow. If the devs could create a similar game but include certain skyblock and minecraft trivia then it would be a good game for those new to skyblock, but to minecraft too.

    But this would need some custom plugin work which would depend on the owners if it is worth getting the developers to do.

    I doubt it would make chat spammy if it occurs every 10-20 minutes and is no more spammy then someone trying to energetically sell banners.

    I like this idea!! I've seen it on other servers before! Maybe unscramble word games!! This could happen every 5-10 minutes so there it isn't spammy! I agree with Krissy that the chat can be slow and this might get people to chat in chat.

    Maybe if there is a super hard one it could be more than a grass block. If the word was 'opposition' it could reward you maybe 3 grass or something because it will be harder to unscramble.

    Maybe also, if instead of a word it was a sentence it could give you a diamond or something. I say this because non-rankers always ask for diamonds

    100% Support!!


    I think the server has more people on it than four. This might be different to me because of timezones.

    If anything, I would like to see a bot similar to that of Warframe, which responds to players who need help. You ask a question, how to get (insert item), and the bot responds with the most common methods to get the items. I think that this system could be heavily abused and shouldn't be added.
