    Do you wan't to play a game?

    No, but seriously, I think minigames would be a great addition to Skyblock. They could be added in as daily events, or just free to join lobbies where rounds would take place constantly. It would add a lot of variety, and I feel more new players would stay, as minigames aren't too experience based ( meaning they are easy to get into, while actual Skyblock takes some skill at least, and is time consuming ).

    Some minigames I feel we should add are:
    - Spleef
    I think spleef should be set in a Nether environment, with the floor being Obsidian, and instead of having them broken, right-clicked to be turned into lava. It'd add a cool twist I think.

    -Speed Typing Contests ( hourly )
    I've got this on another server, and basically what happens is that a message will say in chat "The first person to type ???????? wins!" The letters are random and sometimes contain letters, and the first person that types it will get a small reward. It would force players to read the chat more often, and more people would get noticed, helping the economy. A small impact it would be, yes, but any bits help.

    That's about all I've got to say for now. I'm sure there are tons of other minigames that would work perfectly here, I just want to know what you guys think of the concept of it actually happening. Leave feedback down in the comments below, whether it be negative or positive! Thank you!

    I support the minigame idea, but I'm not sure how it would be implemented. On Org there is spleef and the winner is rewarded with $30, so I'm wondering if you are suggesting the winner gets any prize and if so that'd be difficult on net. Without a prize I don't know if it would be too populated. The thing with /ma j was that you could get some really good items if you lasted a long time which made it popular. If it is fun I guess it would be popular with the amount of people on the server too itd probably be popular.

    So, (tl;dr) I support the idea of a minigame of some sort although I am unsure which one and how/if a reward would be given out :D

    Net needs at least one mini game. People get bored after a while and it would give interest. So support to the main idea.
    hmm anything that wont spam the chat is good, or things that wont cause lag.

    I'm not sure on the typing contests, when Skyblock has a lot of traffic (400+ people) I can imagine how much that would spam the chat. The addition of spleef could be nice, and to be honest back when we did have the sleef plugin there was no reward, but I was fine with that. It was a nice way to spend time. Of course, if Mob Arena (/ma j) or a similar plugin was installed it would work quite well.
    I think Skyblock needs plugins to add a bit of spice, so support.

    No support. The typing would cause spam and spleef was removed due to lag issues.

    Support. But only on .net since .org already has a minigame. I think it would really take away the feel of skyblock if the server was inundated with people asking to play all sorts of different games
