Java Preview cages

[S4nne]

Hey!

I have a suggestion about the cages.
Whenever I get a new cage out of a cubelet, I wonder what it looks like. Now you have to select it and join a game to see it, and I forget to change it back to another cage most of the time.
So my suggestion is to make an option where you can preview cages by right-clicking on a cage in the loot menu.
That's pretty much it.

Spoiler: How it works

''Right-Click to preview!''

You will be teleported to a certain place somewhere in the lobby where the cage is shown to you.

I agree with you, although this would be even better for win effects. Joining a game is quite easy while winning a game might not be as easy.

This is a very good idea!

And how would this exactly work? Do you get an link to a screenshot from the cage? I like this idea, but I'm wondering how this would be done.

I like this suggestion, this will be a very good addition to the game. For the preview, they can just make the cage appear in front of you for about 5 seconds or something.

I added an example of how it works on another server!

Let's say 5 people do this in one lobby. It would be very chaotic, also would other people be able to walk through it? It could be abused if players can't walk through the cage. Also, what will happen when blocks in the lobby make the cage unable to spawn?

I don't think this is a good idea.

It works fine on Hypixel. You're the only one who can see it when you preview something, so others can't really walk through it.
They should also create a place in the lobby where every cage is able to spawn so there wouldn't be bugs or something.

This is indeed the solution, but Sifently said "in front of you", which wouldn't work out.

Imagine if you also had the ability to choose what lobby you appear in. :O

Great idea!

It happened to me, I love your idea, I hope it can be possible!
