Edit: When writing this thread I had no idea that the Hive recently added a game with this same concept :P
Hi there!
It seems as though CubeCraft should have a building game of some kind, and with the removal of Buy ‘N’ Build this seems to be more apparent
I think that because Buy ‘N’ Build got removed, that maybe a gamemode like Mineplex’s Speed Builders could be more successful. I think it would be cool to see a building game (or a non-PvP game in general) on CubeCraft, and this kind of game could accomplish that without having to be a build battle (which Buy ‘N’ Build sort of was)
There is another thread where someone suggested adding a Speed Builders game, (This thread was not directly inspired by it, but I’ll go ahead and link that thread here, plus it is somewhat relevant). However, I’ll consider this suggestion separate as this thread will look into CubeCraft’s Rebuild marketplace maps as well as how the game could fill a spot for a potential building game on the server, which seems kind of relevant now since Buy ‘N’ Build is gone
So CubeCraft actually already has two Marketplace maps with this kind of game concept: Rebuild and Rebuild 2
Note that I don’t own nor have played either of these maps (feel free to correct me if I’m wrong about anything), but Rebuild seems to work similarly to Mineplex’s Speed Builders (although it is Singleplayer). Rebuild 2 comes with multiplayer support and has over 300 builds! (according to the Marketplace description)
300 (technically over 300) being the number of builds in Rebuild 2 stuck out to me and I think that with that many builds the game would have decent long-term replayability and would make a good main game. Also, I feel like it being a main game would unlock its full potential.
In addition, the game could potentially fit well with games such as Pillars of Fortune
The Hive currently having a Build Battle game could have contributed to Buy ‘N’ Build not being very popular, but with a Rebuild/Speed Builders type of gamemode it would be exclusive to CubeCraft (at least on Bedrock).
Also, the game concept would probably not just be oriented towards builders, but also perhaps anyone who likes a fun and competitive game
Lastly, if Buy ‘N’ Build gets added back or a similar creative building game is added, Rebuild would still be a lot different and the two games could possibly coexist
Also, the past experience with the gamemode could make the process of making the game easier.
In addition, the good ratings on the Marketplace maps are a possible indicator that the Rebuild concept was fun and well-executed.
Speed Builders also seemed to be a favorite game on Mineplex for many players, which is slightly evident in the linked thread near the top of this post. Even I was a fan of Speed Builders too
CubeCraft could even use some assets from the Rebuild marketplace maps, such as some of the builds (especially since there are over 300 builds in Rebuild 2)
In reference to the marketplace maps, Rebuild could possibly be a good name for the game

If you’re not familiar with Speed Builders:
Speed Builders was a game on Mineplex where multiple players have their own small building plot, and they have a short time to memorize a small build. The small build disappears and each player then has to recreate the build as accurately as possible. After the time runs out, the player with the least accurate build is eliminated from the game, and eventually the last player left wins.So CubeCraft actually already has two Marketplace maps with this kind of game concept: Rebuild and Rebuild 2
Note that I don’t own nor have played either of these maps (feel free to correct me if I’m wrong about anything), but Rebuild seems to work similarly to Mineplex’s Speed Builders (although it is Singleplayer). Rebuild 2 comes with multiplayer support and has over 300 builds! (according to the Marketplace description)
I’d changed my mind about the game not being a main game
In the thread linked above, I had made a post saying that if a Speed Builders game were added that it should be a MinerWare boss game, but since then I’ve changed my mind.300 (technically over 300) being the number of builds in Rebuild 2 stuck out to me and I think that with that many builds the game would have decent long-term replayability and would make a good main game. Also, I feel like it being a main game would unlock its full potential.
In addition, the game could potentially fit well with games such as Pillars of Fortune
Good Ratings
Both Rebuild and Rebuild 2 have a Marketplace rating of 4.6 / 5 stars, and while Rebuild 2 has a lot less ratings than its predecessor, Rebuild has over 1,660 ratings.A Game That Would Stand Out
Not only was the Rebuild marketplace map decently successful, but no other server currently has this game concept, meaning that the game could stand out as a unique building gameThe Hive currently having a Build Battle game could have contributed to Buy ‘N’ Build not being very popular, but with a Rebuild/Speed Builders type of gamemode it would be exclusive to CubeCraft (at least on Bedrock).
Also, the game concept would probably not just be oriented towards builders, but also perhaps anyone who likes a fun and competitive game
Lastly, if Buy ‘N’ Build gets added back or a similar creative building game is added, Rebuild would still be a lot different and the two games could possibly coexist
Previous Experience with the Concept
I find CubeCraft’s past experience with the Rebuild Marketplace maps to be a somewhat significant factor in this suggestion as it shows that CubeCraft has prior experience in making this kind of gamemode, and as a result the concept already has an association with CubeCraft somewhatAlso, the past experience with the gamemode could make the process of making the game easier.
In addition, the good ratings on the Marketplace maps are a possible indicator that the Rebuild concept was fun and well-executed.
