Java Quickly show how many players are in each lobby

[TeamTMS]

Hello there,
I think that when you go into the Lobby Selection Menu, the amount of players in each lobby should show up as the quantity of items per stack (in this case, beacons), so that you can quickly navigate around with the look of an eye. You can also quickly see the lobby that your in's player count quickly.
This would be very useful for players looking for a lobby with the least amount of players to reduce lag quickly. I find it very unpleasant having to hover over every single lobby to find the one with the least/most amount of players. I personally like to see thins with the look of an eye, such as in Bedrock.
Thankyou for reading, let me know what you think :).

This is a good idea, and I actually don’t see why this shouldn’t be thing. +1

 

[Sweetenerera]

Ehh I have mixed feelings about this. I do like the idea, it makes it a little bit quicker to see the player amount. But it looks very messy and crowded

Yeah I agree with you! At least decreasing the amount of lobbies in the menu will be a lot better and less messy. But I still like this idea.

I must agree it's a good idea and the small things are what makes CubeCraft CubeCraft. Though I'm just not too sure about it. It's an okay idea but I'm neutral on it.

How would you decrease the amount of lobbies? Because if the amount of lobbies would be decreased, the player count for those lobbies would have to be highered. Since Minecraft only allows item stacks of 64, I don't see how this would work. We need to keep in mind that sometimes there will be more players than during other times. A lot more players might join in the future and having a decreased amount of lobbies wouldn't be an option then. It's a cool idea, but like stated above messy.

Personally I’m not fully supporting ideas which don’t improve the server in any way or at least not as much as needed so everyone will feel the difference.
The idea isn’t bad, understand me correctly, but we just don’t need it really.

 

[ElementThink]

Love the idea +1

 

[Hoshi]

Could you explain why exactly you think so? It's not necessary to add unnecessary comments like these without mentioning any reasons why or why not. I'd like to hear your reasons as it differs from most others.

 

[Ducky]

I feel like this could be a nice addition feature to have to quickly see the amount of users in the lobbies, though I don't really feel like this particular thing is needed right now, but I am also kinda neutral. First of all, like 2 others already mentioned, it'd look very messy to have large numbers on every single lobby icon in that menu even though there aren't that much lobbies with that much players open all the time, it could happen. On the other hand, if it happens then it would look pretty neat to see that much players.

So yeah, I am 50/50 in this one.

i agree with this opinion

 

[Dreym]

I think a good addition to this would be if the Lobby Beacons were enchanted to show which lobbies have friends in.

Hi there,
It may look a little messy and a bit different than how it’s is now, but I actually captured the second image on Bedrock Edition, which is why the lighting is slightly different. I personally think that function is more important than it being messy.

Hi there,
I think the small things are what make CubeCraft better, like @Hoshiakari said. I think it’s still important to bring out big updates and new things, but it’s just as important to maintain the small things of the entire server. After all, most players find the slightest thing that another server does better, so they switch to that server, because they’re trying to find the overall best one. I know that a lot of players would be happy about this feature.
Anyways, thanks for your suggestion, appreciated :)

I still stand by what I said. It looks messy. I don't really see how the screenshot being from Bedrock, should change my opinion on it? Yes they have it already, but it again, looks messy.

I just think the beacon texture is not helping. On other servers they use quartz blocks so maybe we should also opt for a different item with a smoother and calmer texture. Regardless I think if these were to be implemented it would take a few days to get used to it as well! ;)

It's a QoL change, even those are important to ensure a good experience for the hundreds of thousands of players that join the network on a daily basis. Think about where CCG would be today if there was no eye for detail

Qualify of life updates are important I can agree.Maybe there has to be an update which only includes this type of stuff.

I quickly checked a different server which did indeed use quartz, it does look calmer. I'd be ok with it if they used something like quartz, but if it's something like beacons, no thanks.

DUDE this is a wonderfull idea!!

Hi there,
Good point, I should have changed that while capturing the image. Even if they were green concrete, and red/orange for servers that are crowded (have 40+ players in them), and just white for the one you’re in. I personally prefer white concrete over quartz, it just looks more cleaner. And lobbies with friends in them could be enchanted?
Anyways, thanks for your reply :)

Concrete isn't compatible with Minecraft versions under 1.12 though

Unquestionably agree with this. It would be very useful to see in which lobby your friends are. Making the blocks enchanted is very well thought in my opinion :) Besides, wouldn’t terracotta/stained clay be better though? Those blocks were introduced in the 1.6 version of Minecraft so it is compatible for all versions that you can use to play on CubeCraft.
