CubeCraft Lucky Islands is probably one of my favourite Minecraft game modes period. It’s fun, chaotic, and has that same energy as playing Mario Party: a good amount of skill is required, but that scoop of luck brings it all together and makes it a blast. I think Lucky Islands has an untapped potential with the sheer amount of things they could do to improve the game mode (a good start would be fixing all the bugs), so I present a giant pile of ideas. Considering the amount of unbalanced and broken ideas I've got here, I wouldn’t expect everything to be implemented, if anything. This was more-so to ignite ideas that anyone else may have, better ideas.
I’ve said this before, but I am not a game designer, and most of the things I say may be controversial, so feedback would be greatly appreciated.

KIT CHANGES & ADDITIONS
I covered a bunch of my ideas for kit changes in a previous thread, but this one includes more effects, and incorporates some of the ideas above. The prices you may ask? Well, get a random number generator, set the parameters between 4 and 20, and then multiply the result by 50, because that’s most likely what the designers originally did when deciding the prices for their kits. The effects give a bit of spice to each kit, but for most of them aren’t really essential.

SECONDARY KITS
Provide some additional things in order to help strategise. Cannot be used alongside the original kit. The matching kit should be fairly obvious as all kits *should* be fundamentally unique. Could also double as kits for a “Basic”/“Hardcore” game type perhaps? Most of these names aren’t to be taken seriously.

Exploding Pig Spawn Egg
GENERAL CHANGES
Decrease the cost of all perks by 50%. All perks already bought beforehand should have appropriate points returned. Though the perks give minor conveniences, it still certainly feels unfair, especially for newer players.
Port ALL (or at least as many as possible) of the maps/items/lucky block events from Java Lucky Islands to Bedrock Lucky Islands. Bedrock’s map, item, and lucky block event variety is significantly lacking compared to Java’s, especially when it comes to the Teams mode between each version.
Fortune works on blocks it usually wouldn’t, like how it is on Skyblock (iron ore, melons, logs, etc). The effect only works on blocks that have been “naturally generated”; from the map, or a lucky block event.
Make the texture/item name of the Negative/Positive Potion Wand more noticeable.
After using the Shield Wand, a maximum of 5 hearts can be dealt from fall damage.
If the Shield Wand is used below y level 5 (around where it can't save the player), the shield and the player will be brought up to y level 5, sparing the player. If this happens, the Shield Wand will be disintegrated.
Have the ability to cancel the Grappling Hook bow ability by right-clicking.
Riding on a pig will grant the pig and the player Swiftness III, and for 5s after dismounting. This change has been made to make the pig+saddle+carrot-on-a-stick drop less useless.
The top-middle block in a cage trap is a block of obsidian rather than an iron bar, to prevent players from jumping through the holes created by iron bars.
Dissolving Iron/Diamond/Gold dissolves slower while in the crafting grid.
Pet Cats and Pet Wolves can be distracted by dropped Raw Fish and Raw Meat respectively, as to make cats' ludicrous speed less infuriating, and giving players an alternative to brutally slaughtering these poor animals.
Witches on Bats can be stunned in place for 4s by any projectile (snowballs, arrows, etc.).
Over time, the drop events from Lucky Blocks become more extreme, decreasing the chance of coming across drops that are more mediocre.
Decrease the item smelting time by half.
After 8 minutes from the start of the game, all players will be given a Player Tracker. A warning will be broadcasted in chat 15 seconds beforehand.
After 12 minutes from the start of the game, blocks closest to the bottom and top of the world will start to disintegrate, and players too low or too high will start to take massive damage (a la the void). All kit effects involving receiving an item after x seconds no longer activate past this point. A warning will be broadcasted 60 seconds beforehand. This change, and the change above, have been implemented to discourage incredibly drawn-out games, and camping, which is a bannable offense for some reason.
If you’ve read this far, wow. Anyways thanks, and feel free to give criticism to any of the ideas above.
WOAH I love threads that put detail and explain it clearly and well, and this is amazing. I also more importantly agree with this, although shouldn’t it be in suggestions ?
CubeCraft Lucky Islands is probably one of my favourite Minecraft game modes period. It’s fun, chaotic, and has that same energy as playing Mario Party: a good amount of skill is required, but that scoop of luck brings it all together and makes it a blast.

As a villager is on average, MUCH better than before, only 4 villagers spawn during the Villager Tower drop.
Villagers must perform a trade in the current highest tier to unlock trades in the next-highest tier.
Trade limits reset after 120s.
1 item limit: Block Zapper, Elevation Sceptre
2 items limit: all special bows, all wands, Magical Water Bottle
4 items limit: all enchanted items, Golden Apple
6 items limit: other buy offers
10 items limit: sell offers
All items that are enchanted have completely random enchants, with the chance of getting multiple enchants, though not guaranteed to be the highest enchant level possible (specified by “Max tier enchant x”)
All probabilities within buy and sell offer amounts are equal (eg. the chance of a Weaponsmith buying 2 Iron Ingots for 5 Emeralds is the same as it buying 3 Iron Ingots for 5 Emeralds).

KIT CHANGES & ADDITIONS
I covered a bunch of my ideas for kit changes in a previous thread, but this one includes more effects, and incorporates some of the ideas above. The prices you may ask? Well, get a random number generator, set the parameters between 4 and 20, and then multiply the result by 50, because that’s most likely what the designers originally did when deciding the prices for their kits. The effects give a bit of spice to each kit, but for most of them aren’t really essential.

SECONDARY KITS
Provide some additional things in order to help strategise. Cannot be used alongside the original kit. The matching kit should be fairly obvious as all kits *should* be fundamentally unique. Could also double as kits for a “Basic”/“Hardcore” game type perhaps? Most of these names aren’t to be taken seriously.

GENERAL CHANGES
Decrease the cost of all perks by 50%. All perks already bought beforehand should have appropriate points returned. Though the perks give minor conveniences, it still certainly feels unfair, especially for newer players.
Port ALL (or at least as many as possible) of the maps/items/lucky block events from Java Lucky Islands to Bedrock Lucky Islands. Bedrock’s map, item, and lucky block event variety is significantly lacking compared to Java’s, especially when it comes to the Teams mode between each version.
Fortune works on blocks it usually wouldn’t, like how it is on Skyblock (iron ore, melons, logs, etc). The effect only works on blocks that have been “naturally generated”; from the map, or a lucky block event.
Make the texture/item name of the Negative/Positive Potion Wand more noticeable.
After using the Shield Wand, a maximum of 5 hearts can be dealt from fall damage.
If the Shield Wand is used below y level 5 (around where it can't save the player), the shield and the player will be brought up to y level 5, sparing the player. If this happens, the Shield Wand will be disintegrated.
Have the ability to cancel the Grappling Hook bow ability by right-clicking.
Riding on a pig will grant the pig and the player Swiftness III, and for 5s after dismounting. This change has been made to make the pig+saddle+carrot-on-a-stick drop less useless.
The top-middle block in a cage trap is a block of obsidian rather than an iron bar, to prevent players from jumping through the holes created by iron bars.
Dissolving Iron/Diamond/Gold dissolves slower while in the crafting grid.
Pet Cats and Pet Wolves can be distracted by dropped Raw Fish and Raw Meat respectively, as to make cats' ludicrous speed less infuriating, and giving players an alternative to brutally slaughtering these poor animals.
Witches on Bats can be stunned in place for 4s by any projectile (snowballs, arrows, etc.).
Over time, the drop events from Lucky Blocks become more extreme, decreasing the chance of coming across drops that are more mediocre.
Decrease the item smelting time by half.
After 8 minutes from the start of the game, all players will be given a Player Tracker. A warning will be broadcasted in chat 15 seconds beforehand.
After 12 minutes from the start of the game, blocks closest to the bottom and top of the world will start to disintegrate, and players too low or too high will start to take massive damage (a la the void). All kit effects involving receiving an item after x seconds no longer activate past this point. A warning will be broadcasted 60 seconds beforehand. This change, and the change above, have been implemented to discourage incredibly drawn-out games, and camping, which is a bannable offense for some reason.
If you’ve read this far, wow. Anyways thanks, and feel free to give criticism to any of the ideas above.
This is actually by far the best Lucky Islands thread I've ever read, and very close to the best thread on the forums. Holy crap. But I recommend putti6this in the Feedback & Suggestions subforum so you can get agree reactions for this to get forwarded, unless a staff moves this to Feedback & Suggestions. Copy-pasting all of this might work, I'm not entirely sure.
