    Hey, as a parkour veteran, I had the idea of possibly finding, or making a sign plugin that allows you to right click a sign every 24 hours or so and let it give you a reward. I believe this would motivate players to do the parkour a lot more, and possibly add a bit more variety to the server!


    This was just an idea... If you have anything else you'd like to add, go ahead and comment, i'll leave an open poll for the public to vote on my idea.

    Donors can cheat by using jump and fly and non donors can cheat using ender pearls thus able to farm rewards. The parkour is made for a deviation from the usual skyblock building. The general idea is parkour to be fun and enjoyable without reward.
    However some people decide that they want to offer prizes for completion of the parkour legit. This is the only way you will get prizes from parkour. This idea has been suggested before and it is almost certain to never happen in skyblock due to the many possibilities for players to do the wrong thing.
    Of course there are parkour servers for people who love jumping and climbing, take a visit :)

    Thanks everyone for the feedback, it's good to see people picked up on the (obvious) mistakes that I failed to see... Once again the support is appreciated.

    Just a quick update, something to prevent the main problem at hand here, would be to make it the same region as /spawn, where you can't put in any commands, therefore /jump, /fly and so on would be impossible.

    There's the issue where they have it on before they go. It can't be removed if the region has the disabled commands. There in-lies the major flaw of parkour rewards. Without a plugin to monitor flying/enderpearls/jumping, it's too easy to farm. There used to be a nice parkour at newspawn (which is no longer a warp) that had just a rose as a reward, and people would just fly to the end and get the rose over and over.
