This would be a great addition to the server! I can relate to leaving the server because SG was transitioned to 1.9, and it's the main reason why I stopped playing the server as much as I used to. if you added the addition of 1.8 SG again, I would definitely play this server a lot more just because of 1.8 SG. +1

Hello,

I know that I hate a lot on Cube and their decisions, but this one really bothers me as it's my favorite gamemode on the server. To me it seems that Survival Games gets constantly overlooked and that makes me sad - because of that it's dying. I honestly think it needs more attention. There is so much that could be improved. Also some things that should be removed. So I decided to make a big thread about it and try to adress as much as I can. (big props for help to @StorySays, @JaiStrixZ and everybody else who helped). In every section I'll adress the bigger ideas and then the smaller ones.

1.8 Survival Games
First off I'm gonna talk about 1.8 SG. This is honestly a must. It's one of the most enjoyable gamemodes I've ever played on Minecraft. It would bring so many new players and it would make it way more popular on this server. It would also bring old players back to the server, as I know so many people that left just because SG was only 1.9. Honestly this needs to be added!​

Voting Options
Second off I'm going to talk about voting options.
I discussed this with a lot of people and all of them gave a similar response, so I'll list it here.
​

Voting for world events.
Adding this would make more variety for people with ranks. A lot of players dislike the current world events as they simply don't improve the gameplay experience, they're just not fun. So instead of having these type of world events I thought it would be good to have a new voting option that allows players to choose between:
- Deathmatch (Just like how it used to be before the update, after a certain amount of time everyone gets teleported)
- Normal Border (Just like it is now, the border closes in slowly so that players will come across each other more easily)
- Everyone gets the glowing effect (A new unique option, everyone will have the glowing effect so you'll be able to see where everyone is and kill them)

Other voting changes
A couple of other things that I believe should be changed:
- Remove health voting options all together, in all my time of playing this new SG I've barely ever seen anyone vote for anything different than normal health. I believe this is simply because it doesn't add anything fun or interesting to the gameplay really, especially because the game is already in 1.9 in which it takes longer to kill opponents.
- Add a no kits vote option, although this didn't work out too amazing on SkyWars I believe it would work better here. The kits on Survival Games aren't just an item you get, they're more like abilities which sometimes are quite overpowered and change the game drastically.
​

Huge kit overhaul
This is probably what me and @StorySays discussed for the longest time. As we felt that the kits are extremely unbalanced we decided to just overhaul the kit system. When we made this we tried to make it as fair as possible to all players. We decided that we would only make "raw" kits. Kits that only give you stuff, and not any abilities, as we thought that was the main thing why it was so unbalanced (cannibal). So this is what we came up with, if you get any idea for a new kit, let us know!
​

- 1 Pair of blue leather boots with depth strider I

- possibly many more kits!

Items
I kinda think that the item balancing in chests is probably the best thing about Cubecraft's SG. But still there are some things that could be added.​

Basic items
The main issue that we found with this was that there is not really a way of healing yourself in hardcore mode.
- add more items that you can heal yourself with
- add feathers and flint so you can craft arrows


Normal Items
- add apples and gold ingots to allow players to craft golden apples
- add feathers and flint so you can craft arrows
- remove fire aspect from swords
- remove ender pearls

Overpowered Items
We thought that OP is pretty balanced as it is now so we decided not to add anything to this.
​

Maps
Currently there isn't a big amount of maps and they don't even seem to be adding any :(. Once I asked why there are no new maps for SG, the answer I got: It takes time to make an SG map. Well then me and my brother tried making one and we made it on roughly 3 weeks and it actually looked great. Just to compare that: the last time a map was added to SG was around 3 or 4 months ago, maybe more. Compared to other gamemodes (such as SW or EW) it's nothing. Adding new maps for more people would make SG so much better as well. Here are some possible map themes. Also SG needs maps needs map for more people. Especially in team mode, like make a map for 4 teams of 7 etc.

- and many more maps!

Lobbies
The main lobby is fine. The pre-game lobbies are fine too, but there was an idea from @JaiStrixZ that I really liked. It would be like a lobby theme of the map you joined, for example for Moon - The moon map waiting lobby would be a space station and all players are given levitation. It's not necessary at all, but would certainly look great!



This would be it. There is probably a ton of things that should still be improved, but these are the main ones.
Thanks for reading and if you can, give this thread your support and mostly your feedback!
Once again huge thanks to @StorySays and @JaiStrixZ!

Making a new map like that would be 10x harder than suggesting it
