Hey guys,

Yinyan159 here. Now surely I am not the only one who has realized the potential of Skyblock. And I am probably not the first to have built this cobblestone island with chickens and cows only to realize, "Hey, I have used every feature, and it's kinda pointless now." However! I still love and truly adore this server! With a few tweaks and changes to keep things fresh for players it could skyrocket this server beyond imagination! I have a few ideas I would love to hear feed back on. This includes Mods, Devs, Donors, and Normal players like myself. ^_^ Enjoy!

Trading:

New items that the testificates can offer, (Granted they already have a wide variety but not always what you need.)

Chest trading, To avoid pesky gnats from swooping in and ruining a deal!!!
This is a small example by Jugernuts5 : Trade theft | Skyblock Forums

Currency/jobs:

Jobs would add a whole new level of tactics to this game. I know for a fact there's a jobs plugin that offer a widened opportunity for currency and trade. Then you'd have rolls for every person on your island. It encourages team work ^_^

PVP With rewards:

The name says it all! A gruesome fight to the death for whatever may be in the chest at the end! Each person who enters is required to put an item of equal or greater value in the chest assigned to him or her. Then, they are cast into battle. The mod takes the items out of the chests and puts them into the "Winners chest" And the last man standing collects the loot.

Bounty hunter:

Yes, another mini game. This one is also kind of self explanatory. The players all have a bow, 20 arrows, a wooden sword, and an ax. They are placed into an arena (darkened and only have a few redstone torches to dimly light the arena) Then the last man standing collects whatever prize is stated. (Run by mod/s and determined by them as well.)

 

We already have a trade plugin in progress.

All the other plugins= lag. End of story.

 

I was just trying to be helppful

 

also i saw something that was really cool, you stand on the pressure plates and throw the item in the middle and no one can get in until the two people step off

 

See stuff like that is what I'm talking about! Nothing fancy, just something simplistic and works wonders!

 

I like some of these ideas, and I agree, Skyblock can get boring. Adding PvP would really boost the experience, and maybe having an arena. Of course, you wouldn't need anything fancy. Just an arena, which anyone can join for fun.

As for the Jobs Plugin, I think it is unnecessary. At my island, we have a Black Smith, Butcher (I am the Cook ) And more. A plugin would just increase lag, as Snooze said.

Good Luck!

 

See I totally understand, Now also keep in mind this is a base for an hypothetical "idea tower ." I'm not forcing any of this onto the mods, Just think tanking it you know?
