UHC Suggestion

[Ping Ether]

Now I know what you're thinking. UHC ISN'T OUT PING U STOOPID
True. UHC isn't out and I'm stupid too.
But what's even more stupid is TNT in UHC as it was previewed.
You know, every friday, there's a community stream where the staff announces Work In Progress stuff and all.
We got to see UHC. I noticed that TNT can't be powered by redstone, but it ignites automatically when placed.
It just can't be placed passively as a block.
Now I was REALLY disappointed with that.
In UHC every side of vanilla Minecraft is involved in a hard-core, free for all battle.
I don't see why we've got mining, map exploration, and PvP when we can't even have TNT traps...
Like seriously, not everybody wants to swing axes at each other, some people actually want to play the game smartly, with contraptions and all. TNT could make for amazing traps involving falling, exploding, launching, and all kewl stuff,
but all of that is ruined with auto-igniting.

Now as UHC is still in developement I think it's gonna be changed, but I'm gonna put this out before people who want to make landmines end up auto-igniting explosives in front of them.

Thanks for listening.

PS: Before anyone says auto-igniting TNT is "good for instant combat and PvP situations" tell me if you think TNT is fun in Survival games, yeah, one shot of that and you're dead. Nobody likes auto-igniting TNT in PvP, not to mention how easy it is to just use a flint and steel to blow it up... I mean I hope UHC will have gravel where to get flint and iron but I don't know, maybe someone could possibly forget the existance of gravel.

I saw this too.
It is weird because traps was the main part of the game.Yes, they should remove this.
Great idea as always ping!!
@Mac @andyschofie want to look at this.

UHC = Ultra Hard Core
UHC =\= TNT WARS xD

And by the way, I am pretty sure @Tacosbefriends is the one who looks for game suggestions :P

I agree, i LOVE to use vanilla TNT to make traps and stuff.

I was playing UHC on another server, i made a house (lol i had time xD, plus i wasnt very good lol)
I set hp a trap at my door with a pressure plae and TNT, i killed the guy but i still lost lol.

TNT automatically ignites because you're in the deathmatch arena. Blocks can't be placed while you're in the deathmatch arena to prevent players building up and creating skybases.

That's pretty funny XD

So? You can just make it so that in the DM it auto-ignites and out of it it doesn't.

I think it would be a good idea to use vanilla TNT, because in the old UHC's that I've played, TNT traps are just amazing, so I would love to have those. Throwing or auto-igniting may work for Speed UHC, but in Normal UHC, I think having it vanilla style, traditional and classical, would be more suitable.

 

[Gainfullterror]

I would definitely prefer to use placeable.
I can already imagine losing half a heart to a Steve/Alex... It already gives me nightmares having to touch them up close in UHC

Vanilla.

Sure throwable TNT is fun for Duels but rarely hits a player.
Auto-Ignite is just complete Toxic Waste, take a look at Survival Games, 2 pieces of TNT are enough to die to someone not even attempting to fight.

We got to see UHC.

You could do the hit from below trap like a factions mob grinder

But that involves no trap knowledge and is really annoying...

 

[Grimmay]

Definitely agree. I can just imagine the traps, such fun :-P As for your comment on nobody likes auto ignite TNT, I'm a creeper. I will always like TNT!

 

[codexprivateㅤㅤㅤㅤ]

Hi im banned and it was my brother can u unban plz thanks.

Spoiler: -

I'd rather go for throwable since auto ignite is 2 OP and vanilla is 2 OP (if used well in traps)

 

[Tacosbefriends]

Dispensers?

 

[Orangeric88]

During the parts where you collect stuff and find people before deathmatch I like this suggestion. Though during the deathmatch, auto igniting TNT shouldn't be a thing. This is to avoid those pesky sky bases, that 1x1 tower stacking thing, and escaping the deathmatch area.

Other than that, I like this idea!

Love it
