Hey! I'm back with a new suggestion thread and today I'd like to hear your opinion on the things I'm going to suggest. This time, I will suggest a couple of features for linked users.
I think you all know that by using /link, you can link your MineCraft account to your forums account. But currently, you can't do a lot with this; there are only 2/3 things you could use it for.
Only 2 things while you could do so much more with this command! And I'm here to change that. I've listed my suggestions below.
That's it from me now. If you have any suggestions that I could add, I'm willing to hear them!
Thank you very much for reading,

I think you all know that by using /link, you can link your MineCraft account to your forums account. But currently, you can't do a lot with this; there are only 2/3 things you could use it for.
- Your in-game rank is displayed on the forums, so everyone can see your rank.
- If you have Plus, you're able to enter the Plus lounge and select a special background, which is one of the 'old' lobbies, that were removed after the introduction of the Big Change.
Only 2 things while you could do so much more with this command! And I'm here to change that. I've listed my suggestions below.
- We should be able to link our MineCraft account to our reports account. And how could this be done? As you all know, "me no dev" ~ Tacosbefriends, probably somewhere in 2018. So yeah, I'm not a developer, so I don't know a lot about it, but I'll just try to explain my idea to you. If you link MineCraft account to your forums account, your rank will be displayed, if you have plus rank you're able to join the plus lounge, etc. Those are the things you know. But what if we'd be able to link our reports account to our forums account? That would make us able to link our reports account to our MineCraft account, but with a detour! This should be added because:
- This would mean that the reports we've made on the MineCraft server using /report could be added to the reporting website, so your green count will rise, even when you've reported someone on the Java server!
- We would be able to see our reports made on the reporting site, in game! Wouldn't that be cool too?
- If this would be added, we could be rewarded for making reports if the management team ever wants to introduce that. I'm not saying we should be rewarded for making reports, but it could encourage players to make reports. The rewards don't have to be that big, so no rank ups, but a personal multiplier or some vanity items could possibly be nice rewards.
- I think it would be nice if our forums account would send an automatically generated message when you've bought a rank-up. (Yes, this would be toggleable). This could be done by linking our forums account to the store, but I think it would be easier to implement a code or whatever that would give a signal whenever you get another rank. (So you wouldn't be linked to the store, but it would be a feature on the server itself.) This could be nice if you want everyone to know that you've bought/received a new rank.
- Wouldn't it be nice to see our/someone else's stats on the forums? I think this would require a lot time to develop, but I've seen some threads in the past suggesting this, so I think this is a must-have. It would be an easy way to look up someone's stats, so you wouldn't have to ask anyone to see someone's stats. And yes, in case you're wondering, this feature would be toggleable. If you don't want other players to see your stats, you could just disable it.
- Our forum trophy points could have an actual meaning, by rewarding us in game for getting them! Just an example: The 'small' trophies, like 'Faceless', would give you a normal cubelet, while the 'big' trophies like 'Beloved' would give you larger rewards, like super/uber cubelets. Although we could also be rewarded by vanity items, I personally prefer cubelets. Now you might think something like 'why do you want this?'. Just in case, I've listed some reasons below.
- The forums community is actually quite small, compared to the forums of bigger servers, like Hypixel. Currently, there are 24 members online on the CubeCraft forums, while there are 1200 members using the Hypixel forums! Oops, that's a very large difference! But don't worry just yet, I know a way to increase the amount of members using these forums! By rewarding people for collecting trophy points on the forums, you basically encourage people to join this website, which makes the user count on the forums higher. And yes, people will try to abuse this, but if the staff members keep an eye out, everything should be fine. After all, message/like farmers can be detected and banned easily.
- Trophy points currently aren't a big addition to the forums. The only thing you could possibly use them for is showing off your cool trophies and getting on the trophy points leaderboard. But I don't think the average forum user is willing to waste endless of hours on this site to get them all (like I used to do), so we can drop one way to use it already. And showing off is not really cool or something so we can drop that one too. Conclusion: Trophy points currently have no use, and that should change. And that could be done by rewarding us for collecting them!
That's it from me now. If you have any suggestions that I could add, I'm willing to hear them!
