I know suggestions aren't really welcome here, as we're always given things out of the blue. However, here I am, making a suggestion. Recently I've gotten the urge to come back to MC and especially Cold. But I simply don't enjoy the PvP aspect of MC anymore. That's why I'm suggesting something that would shake the server up a little bit. Suggestion: Add Creative to Cold. Reason: The server is mostly PvP aside from SkyBlock, which isn't regularly played by anyone. I'm not saying that Creative could be any different, but Creative would allow builders to come on Cold and enjoy some of their time, building things, chilling out or simply making bases which they could use for HCF, kit map, factions, etc.. I'm not saying that Creative would have a lot of players, but from my own experience I've seen that Creative always has its own community. What Cold mostly lacks is a casual feeling. Whenever you join all the other game modes (aside from Skyblock,) you have to be competitive, which I think makes things really boring. KitPvP was supposed to release, but it still hasn't. It's always the same cycle. HCF reset, kit map reset, useless skyblock reset, useless factions reset and then back to HCF. Cold really needs something casual, in fact, even a survival game mode would work, but that's for another thread (coming soon.) Detailed Description: Creative is a game mode which, as its name says, gives you the ability to go into creative and build whatever you want. The whole map is made out of plots, ~150x150 - 250x250. You can claim a plot but flying to one or using the command /plot claim which automatically claims a plot that is the nearest to the spawn. You can also add other people to your plot by giving them access to build. You can add fun minigames, create events, add ranks that allow you to have more plots, you can add in-game ranks which allow you to have more plots, have access to worldedit for 15 minutes for every time you vote (donators get it worldedit upon purchase.) I think you've gotten the idea what Creative looks like. It's not a very hard game mode to make and it could bring in a decent amount of donations (of course I'll be one of them.) It's a casual game mode and it could be used for many things, Hell, players could also use it to give in their builds so they can be used for Cold. But this is @Nick_0251 to decide, but I'd appreciate it greatly if something like this would be added to Cold.
There is a build server and if Nick wants to release creative all he really has to do is make it public for everyone.
He would need to make a member rank tho, since you receive "builder" rank by default on there. Also I would suggest adding a "Creator" donator rank with the cost of €10 This rank would be able to: - Own up to 4 plots and merge these together. - Use world edit on their own plot(s) - Talk with color codes in chat
A build server and Creative are two completely different things, the approach is way different. Creative could even have an economy if done right (though it would be a disaster if done wrong.) Just because the BS has creative, doesn't mean it's the same as what I'm suggesting. ^^^ If needed, I'd gladly help Nick with the making of creative by suggesting things. I've played Creative for 2 years on another server, so I know for the most part what players enjoy and what they don't.
it would be nice to practice new builds I think a good idea would be if the players build practice maps in creative if it got added then if it was good enough they could be added into practice having creative would be very useful
Ehh time to be the casual staff manager or manager who would say: "Uhm... this will never happen as ColdNetwork is a PvP based network and people here mostly play practice, so this will fail and will not be implemented" Good idea anyway, I like it, but it doesn't really fit the PvP mode & monitizing Creative would be pretty sad
Good idea! I disagree with worldedit though. Unfortunately it is very easy to abuse it and to crash the server
Mayby if they limit it like skyblock world edit, there is a max amount of area that you can use it at a time
Yes, that's a good idea. Then limit the blocks (like TNT), and limit the commands, so the lowest donator (and voters) only have access to //set, the next step would be //sphere.....you get what I mean
Of course I'm not saying that every worldedit command should be given, but at least the basics like copy, paste, sphere, rotate, etc. should be given. In terms of TNT, it should stay disabled for everyone. Things with redstone could be enabled by using coins you earn by voting / winning Scrabble \ winning events.
You could buy redstone for 30000 coins. Every time you win a Scrabble you'll get 50 coins. You'll need to win at least 600 scrabbles to get it, which takes time. A building event could give you ~2000 and voting could be 50 as well. So redstone won't be accessible to everyone, only the people who really care about creative and put time into it.
I spoke to Nick regarding this and it's very unlikely that creative will be added. However, there is a chance that survival may be coming in the future. Will keep you guys updated whenever I know more. Thank you for the support this suggestion has received. For any staff member, please lock this thread.
A few new suggestions: You'll have an ingame currency. You can earn ingame currency, by winning Scrabbles, winning events, by voting or by buying a rank (not too much of course.) You can buy a lot of things 7500 /rename 7500 /nick 30000 access to redstone 20000 /fly 20000 /disguise 15000 /particles 50000 worldedit 75000 free world (there should be a world in which everything is allowed (anarchy world). The world is in survival and hacking is tolerated. Donators will have access command on purchase. €10 : 1st rank: rename, nick, fly, 5000 coins, 10 plots €15 : 2nd rank: isguise, particles 10000 coins, 15 plots €25 : 3rd rank: worldedit, access to redstone, free world, 25000 coins, 25 plots Additional plots cost €2.50 per plot or 5000 coins Add cool tags which cost between 500-2000 coins per tag. You get worldedit for 15 minutes whenever you vote as a regular player. First donators rank gets 30 minutes and third rank gets 1 hour per vote. Will add more along the way
