Good thinking and good suggestion!
We used to have QuickShop on the Skyblock server, but it was taken down. Nick and I will continue discussing this and figure out how to best implement it, because we agree that some kind of personal shop is needed/wanted.
In skyblock, wouldn't it be nice to go to someone's /is warp to find a set of villagers with materials that you need in their inventory?
I was thinking a special kind of villager egg can be bought with tokens and placed on a chest (which is filled by the placer of the egg), type in a shop name (that can be rewritten by the placer of the egg) that would appear as if a nametag were used on the villager (or similar effect). Put materials in its respective GUI slots to be sold for in game $ as well as the option to trade for certain amounts of other materials. Of course these materials when bought would be subtracted/added to the chest .
Shopping around others islands to find good prices and different materials would be a much better experience in my opinion than to /pay a player without receiving the items or vice versa.
Now before we start, I'm not going to be dropping hate on the old creative server, just my own personal criticism on it's repetition. OK, let's begin.
I have an idea for the creative server to not only make it more fun and enjoyable, but to create a cooler experience for the creative builders of PickAxis.
The creative server, as is, is a basic, grid, plotme world, that can be seen in many Networks today. My idea is to not change this, but add onto it. Now sit back and prepare for a long read.
Personally, PickAxis is one of my favorite servers, but the creative server is personally a server I don't pay much attention to; simply, the same kind of plot-experience is seen anywhere around the Minecraft community. My idea to further advance the creative server is give it a WoK-like-twist- as in create a world that is apply to build only- but keep the plots in a seperate world where new builders can show off their skills to staff rather than going online to submit pictures of what they've built. Create a new system of ranks seperating prestigious builders from simple, new builders to ones who've been accepted to build in the application-exclusive world. With this system, it not only allows people to easily collaborate to create amazing massive structures, but it gives great builders the freedoms of space, simplicity, and spam. By implementing a new server for approved builders, you are essentially giving the people who've proved themselves a greater reward by allowing them to work together to make a map beautiful.
Even better, builders can come together to make fabulous structure that you can show off to attract newer, better builders!
Now, if given the green-light (which I doubt) the task of setting up the plugins and creating a new, fool-proof system will definitely take much time. So, I've laid out some guidelines/suggestions in which you could go by if you so happen to approve of this idea-
New players to the creative server are sent to the spawn, showing off the server's best builds and laying out the rules to the players. Upon going through spawn, you are taken to a rules-quiz room in which you must answer questions pertaining to the rules in order to actually get the ability to apply for building on the main world. If one passes this stage, they become a new builder, made distinct by a rank simply named [builder] and limited access to parts of the server.
[builder]'s after this are given basic permissions, like the ability to chat and creative mode, etc. The new builders are then sent into a portal room bearing two portals- one to the main world, and one to the trial world.
The trial world is the world in which builders claim a new plot to apply and be able to build in the main world, a place where approved builders can go together and create great structures. All builds built in the trial world should be built on plots to give the impression of building with detail, and not neccessarily in size or quantity. This allows the people who judge these builds (most likely builders or staff) to actually see the detail that the new [builder]'s are capable of.
If a judge finds a builder's build to be worthy of the server, the [builder] is given new sets of permissions and a new rank, beaing the calling card of being approved to build in the main world. By now, this builder should be known in the creative community by other main world builders, so that the new and the old can get along well.
----------------- Everything past this mark is simply beyond the previous statements. ----------------------------
If a main world builder is proven to be well known amongst the community (and the staff), all the while possessing great building skill, that person should be promoted further. At this controversial rank, this person shall gain a new rank perfix, along with new permissions, like the ability to setwarps or even WorldEdit to further deepen their impact on the server as a whole. These people should also be given the ability to build in a world exclusive to that rank. All builds in this world should be expected to look amazing, as it should be pretty difficult to gain this position of prestige and respect in the commmunity.
That's really as far as I have gotten on this new idea. Drop a like if you support this, and add on by commenting below. I hope this is green-lit, but I understand how hard this would be for a server developer, me myself setting up and writing plugins before (which I simply do not have the time for anymore). I feel this idea has serious potential if taken seriously. It's up to you guys to really expose and exploit the potential that I speak of. That's all for now.
