How to make a good suggestion thread..
So, you have this amazing idea that you know will make cubecraft a better place? Or simply a little fix, or addition that would make the game easier for you?
Problem is, you don't know how to get your idea across...
I have made here a thread that will help you structure your suggestion and guide you into making a clear suggestion that everyone can read and will be incited to comment on.
Don't be afraid of comments and criticisms as they are nothing but feedback to your suggestion, very important feedback that can give you a new insight into what you are suggesting.
Suggesting here is an opportunity to have a different view on your suggestion that you may have missed, and will only help you improve upon that suggestion and step towards the suggestion being successful.

Before making the suggestion:
Make sure that there aren't any already existing threads on the topic:

DutchLemur:
"First of all, try to research if there isn't a similar thread to the suggestion you want to create.
If no one else has posted a similar idea recently, feel free to create a new suggestion thread. Please be as detailed as possible! This gives the suggestion a higher chance to get added on the server/forum."
If the suggestion already exists, give feedback on the already existing suggestion:
Avoid posting on threads older than 2 weeks, and if your version of the suggestion is completely different than an already existing one, make a new suggestion and say how your version is different to others.

"First of all, try to research if there isn't a similar thread to the suggestion you want to create. If there is a suggestion thread similar to your suggestion, please give feedback on that suggestion instead of making a new suggestion.
When commenting on a suggestion, please be detailed as possible, give feedback and let them know what's good about it and what not.
An example of good feedback: Nice suggestion, there are some things that could make it better though. For example: Removing that type of gadget would be better as it can create huge lag. I made a similar gadget that doesn't create lag.
An example of bad feedback: I don't like this idea."

Structure your suggestion :
A structured suggestion is easy on the eyes and can get a lot more information across, structuring your suggestion is highly recommended.
A clear and easy to read suggestion is a successfull suggestion, when clearly presented, even the worst and best suggestions will give you feedback on how to improve upon them.
- Make a title that describes as briefly as possible the main idea behind your suggestion
- Users need to grasp the main idea of your suggestion by reading the title, this is probably the most important part of the suggestion.
Introduce your idea to the world- Users need to grasp the main idea of your suggestion by reading the title, this is probably the most important part of the suggestion.
- A brief description of your suggestion.
- A good length would be 1 to 4 lines.
Present your suggestion- A good length would be 1 to 4 lines.
If you are presenting a new minigame, this is where you describe the details and the rules of your game, if you are suggesting features this is where you list them out and explain how they work in as much detail as possible.
It is important not to make this one big block of text as people would just skip it.
So it is very important to make it readable :
It is important not to make this one big block of text as people would just skip it.
So it is very important to make it readable :
- Structure your suggestion.
Add additional information- Make titles and paragraphs, divide your suggestion into different sections (see example)
- Try and anticipate questions that users will be asking about your suggestion and answer them before hand, this could include :- Don't hesitate to use colours, don't overuse the colours or other formatting though.
- Use spoilers when you want to go into specific details about one item, so it doesn't take up the whole thread, people also have the choice to read those specifics if they chose to.
- Use indentations, giving people the choice to go into details or not is important, put the most important information closer to the left and the specifics closer to the right
- Use spaces, when you move from one point to the other add a line break between them as people would skip the whole paragraph if they get bored of the first two lines.

[Fix] Balance the samouri kit in blockwars
[Fix] Balance the samouri kit in blockwars
I have recently noticed that every user has been using this kit above all others and I feel that there needs to be a fix as this kit seems to be pretty overpowered.
The reasons I think it is overpowered are that the mushroom kit is completely dominates the mushroom kit which has become obsolete because of the strong knockback in this kit. It still hold up well against the archer.
My Solutions to fix this problem:
1: Reduce the knockback on the sword to knockback 1 and remove the speed potion effect attributed to the kit.
> This would greatly reduce the difference in power between this kit and the mushroom kit but keep it balanced against the archer.
2: Add haste 1 to the guardian kit as this would allow him to mine blocks faster.
> This would allow this kit to be like this as opposed to all the other existing ones.
I prefer the first option as the second would create an imbalance between the mushroom kit and the carrot kit.
I am open to hear from you guys how you could help balance out these kits or your reasons why you think they are balanced.
