That would ruin some of the fun, the fun of crafting, if you HAD to start with a pickaxe. But I disagree with my own idea of the shop costing points. My new idea is that the points are the way I originally stated. It's still /shop, but things are free. Stones cannot start with a pickaxe. Irons can start with a wooden pick. Lapiz - 2 gold picks (low durability). Gold - stone pick. Diamond - Iron pick. Emerald - Diamond pick. High ranks may use picks for lower ranks.

Yeah, that's less complicated. :p

I fixed it, it was kinda hard to notice though.

Ok, the name is pretty lame, but pretty much, it's an ore mining contest. The map would be done by copying a few areas of maps with extensive cave systems from singleplayer and putting the spawn by the entrance, or custom-made if uniqueness is wanted. There would be 12-16 players. The players would be able to break blocks (Duh!), and have to make a pick from scratch. Then, for a certain amount of time (10-15 minutes?), everyone would attempt to gather as many ores as possible, and each ore would be worth a certain amount of separate, in-game points.

My idea for those points is as following:

Coal - 1 point each
Unsmelted iron - 1 point each
Redstone - 1 point each (Since 4 or 5 drop from one ore block)
Smelted iron - 2 points each
Lapiz - 2 points each (Same reason for low point value as Redstone)
Unsmelted gold - 3 points each
Smelted gold - 5 points each
Diamonds - 10 points each
Emeralds - 25 points each

The winner would be the player with the most of these in-game points at the end, and would receive 30 server-wide points. 2nd place would get 20, and 3rd would get 10. Hopefully you guys like this game idea :)

Sounds cool to me, and the map would be easy to set up :D

I feel a main problem you might face if this game was to become a reality would be X-Rayers as this would be an easy game to X-Ray in and earn a lot of points easily in.
I'm not saying the game isn't a good idea or that it isn't possible, I'm just saying that there would have to be a way to prevent X-Rayers before this could become a reality.

Well, you could report them if you see someone mine perfectly into every single diamond vein. But yeah, I don't know of a way to prevent it...

I LOVE THE IDEA!?!?!??

Maybe add a anti x-ray plugin?

Maybe add a anti x-ray plugin?

Seems simple enough. :P

 

[vishwathegreat]

But maybe some advanced xray hackers modify the xray hack to make it undetectable?

 

[Raindrop57]

I don't really think hackers would go that far wasting their time trying to hack one minigame...

If they do, I guess just report them if you can...

 

[annie leger]

this is a great idea lol

Thanks, I wish this could have been added... :/
