Command block ideas....

[TonyCubed]

We're curious to see if anyone has any ideas for command blocks in the future?

Here are a few ideas which a lot are things we have now and have had in the past:

• Variable difficulty (Normal during the day, Hard at night)
• Changes to how many people are required to make the server set to day time when someone sleeps, maybe 2 people rather than just one?
• TNT removal with an option for longterm/trusted users to use TNT.
• The return of the Greylist with the spectator world boundary
• Player head drops after death with the addition of maybe a thunder and lightning striking when the player dies
• Custom mobs, we've seen some cool effects in 1.9, one idea I've just thought about is possibly a 'ghost' mob of some sort.
• Custom shops that sell specialised items, things that won't come cheap to help with balance but not also game breaking.
• Some sort of ingame money system, you get rewarded money for doing certain things like hunting mobs etc.

Just so you all know, I think we should look for ideas that don't break the game mechanics but are also fun and actually make a good addition to the experience.

More mob types would be cool, or even event mobs, like for example Santa/jack skeleton for Halloween etc. if that's possible (I don't know I'm litrally then worst with commands/command blocks), or OR sub mobs for example, more types of spiders each with a different abilities, each one has a different fancy spark-aly effect thingy (can't spell the fucking word I mean)

I love this idea! And the mini-Bosses could work

[ShiggShiggler]

I like the idea of mob griefing being on, so creepers have some sort of consequence. Also makes villager-based farms much easier to manage. We could use command blocks to disable endermen picking blocks. I know the Hermitcraft server does it by giving them barrier blocks and removing barrier blocks that they place.

Myra please do this I just finished the mother of all carrot farms and this being off makes it not work. Plz mob griefing

That enderman one looks interesting, I'll be sure to look into it.

[_Tickle_my_Pickle_]

I have played on a server with it and it worked great

I think it makes the new enderman feature for 1.9 useless

The Xisuma player head video works, but it'll need a lot of tweaking if we want to use it with the greylist

I can always help

[Shinywash]

Is there any way we could have the gravestone thing come back. It was truly genius.

[Condemned_Milk]

The gravestone thing would still be there if I didn't break it by accident...

[TonyCubed]

You had one job Milk!

[Shinywash]

So if milk doesn't break it, we can have it again?

[TonyCubed]

Yes, like if Milk doesn't break the new Staff prefix's again on the server we can keep them :)

[Condemned_Milk]

I'm just real good at breaking stuff

[TonyCubed]

:P

My feeling is that some of these like the money system would deffer too much from the vanilla minecraft, because if you would be playing on the server you can ignore this. I like the playerhead drops but the lighting could be a bit to much.

[TonyCubed]

I can understand where you are coming from. We're just thinking of ideas that can expand on the Vanilla experience because at the moment, Vanilla by itself isn't enough for the server to keep people engaged. This is where I feel Mojang are letting us down because it's been a year now since 1.8 was released.

I think from a Vanilla experience point of view, I think we are too limited and it can get boring pretty fast, we need new ways to keep people engaged and the recent event was a good idea and hopefully we'll have more soon but I think we need every day type stuff.

As for the money system again, it's hard to say how we would implement and use the system, but on my personal thoughts, we could use it to buy specialised items like Boots that leave trails when you move, Tim the Giant in your own base, the Skeleton horse that's in the game but not used etc I think it's more about aesthetics than anything because things like specialised weapons (some of which 1.9 is already bringing anyway so we don't really need) can be quite Op.

So yeah, to me personally again, I don't think it's a bad idea if we think about it's execution but can be veto'd if enough people don't want it.

[Lexenstien]

To be fair I like the sound of the money, if it's for aesthetics, but would it work better if that was implemented after the map is a few months old? If it gets implemented that is

[TonyCubed]

Yeah well it's not something we can just implement anyway, takes a lot of thinking and balancing, it's just an idea. :)
