Disclaimer: I made this thread a couple of months ago, and it was pretty well received. I've decided to recreate it, rather than bump it, because I don't want to get a warning on my account. Also, I've added a few new things to it, enough I think to justify a re-post of the thread. I've noticed a lot of people discussing Parkour recently, so in case the management team see them and think "Whoa, I remember Parkour! Let's work on that next!", here's a thread worth reading to take inspiration from c:

Greetings, Cubecraftians! After a decade within the abyss that is the Developers’ current to-do list, Parkour has finally returned to Cubecraft, and it is bigger and better than ever before!
That's the end of the thread (phew)! Now, get off the forums and go do some parkour!
Note: Sadly, our server rules have not been impacted by this update in any way, so try to keep calm and take frequent breaks to avoid getting too angry. Staff will be actively monitoring Parkour to ensure that vulgar language does not take place, and sanctions will be authorised accordingly.

Parkour has returned!

History of Parkour in Cubecraft Games
Of course, this won’t be the first experience that veteran Cubecraftians will have had with Parkour on “The Cube”. Back in 2014, Cubecraft had fifty or so Parkour maps that were available to either play off the bat, or purchase for a couple of points per level. However, these courses were cruelly difficult, especially some of the acclaimed easiest courses that the server had to offer. There was also little incentive to complete them all, since each course offered so few points as a completion reward.
…And so, Parkour was updated! In 2015, Cubecraft was given dozens of new Parkour maps, and the staff team received two brand new ranks: Parkour Builder, and Jr. Parkour Builder. Sadly, the fun didn’t last all too long. Hell, the fun never even began, because Parkour was bugged from the get-go, and maps were unpurchaseable. The lack of developer support led to a decline in Parkour enthusiasts, and the Parkour Builder ranks, and the Parkour server itself, was subsequently removed.
Our aim this time around, is to recapture the audience that has since abandoned us. We will provide a system of infinite enjoyment, and incentives in the many for players to complete every single course! Welcome to Parkour 3.0.

Tutorial
The Tutorial category of Parkour maps will have no prerequisites; you can start playing the moment you join the server. It will consist of five maps that are intended to teach those who aren’t already experts how to improve at Parkour.
Map 1 – Teaches the player how to jump and sprint-jump, and includes information regarding how far one can jump, and how said jump’s distance can be increased.
Map 2 – Teaches the player how to jump more precisely, and when it’s more optimal to jump shorter distances. Expect ice parkour along the way!
Map 3 – Teaches the player how to complete ladder parkour. Includes information regarding shifting, and climbing ladders horizontally and diagonally.
Map 4 – Teaches the player all about water parkour, and involves skulls and Lili pads as platforms. Many four-block jumps included.
Map 5 – Invisible and piston / timed parkour within. Watch your step, noob, and keep your eye on the clock!

Adventure
Adventure maps are all about engaging in an immersive story, as much as they are about jumping and beating your previous record! Adventure maps vary in difficulty and rewards, and each fit a different theme and tell a different story. Many checkpoints are featured within, as Adventure maps are easily the longest maps on the server. ‘Pirate’ and ‘Garden’ maps will be included, as nostalgic maps from 2014. A few other themes include ‘Cosmos’, ‘Mushroom Kingdom’, 'Moonbase', 'Manhattan' and 'Athens'.

The Dropper
Hey, Chunk kids, do you miss ‘The Dropper’? Well lament no more, as it can now be accessed on Cubecraft! Head to the Parkour lobby, and head north-west from spawn to access it, or if you’re Lapiz+ Rank, you can instantly teleport to it via the teleport device in your inventory. The Dropper will feature eight different maps at launch, and a functioning leaderboard for wins.
Once eight players have been found, you will be taken to the map where players will take it in turns to drop from a very large height. The objective is to land in the body of water below, avoiding various obstacles on your way down. If you land in the water, you survive another round. If you land on any other blocks, even briefly, then you’re out!
The last player standing will receive 100 experience, and 20 points.

Maze
Yep, mazes are coming back! In Maze parkour, the objective is to advance through narrow jumps of varying difficulties, to locate the exit amongst numerous deceitful corridors that will lead you to dead ends. How quickly can you find the right path, and complete the maze?
Mazes will provide a one-time reward that will correspond with said maze's difficulty. Once completed, you will not receive any reward for completing them again. This is to prevent players from memorising the paths and rushing through the level to farm rewards.

COMMUNITY MAPS
Community maps is a system that allows players to submit their own maps to be verified by Sr. Mod+ ranks. If accepted, the map will be featured permanently in the ‘Community Maps’ menu. For a map to qualify, it doesn’t have to be amazing; it just has to be possible.
Note: Players will not be given any experience or point reward for completing community maps outside of ‘Random play’ (see below), however the fastest completion time will be displayed beneath the map’s name in the ‘Community Maps’ menu.

Random Play
You can also select ‘Random play’ to have a Community Map selected for you at random, and doing so will award you twenty experience and ten points per map completed. You can choose to skip a map if you’re stuck on it, after five minutes of trying. This time restriction is to prevent point farming.

Tightrope
‘Tightrope’ is another new mode, inspired by the Minerware micro-game of the same name. Players must see themselves navigate thirty vertigo-inducing courses, all atop large skyscrapers, without falling down. As you progress through the levels, the difficulty will begin to rise with unrelenting harshness. Tightrope is intended to be the most challenging thing that Cubecraft has ever offered before, and as such, will not need to be completed to access the pet, Cubey.
Novice [5]
The first five levels of ‘Tightrope’ involve little challenge, and serve as an introduction to the game. You will find yourselves running across tightropes with long, straight lines, few jumps, and few rooftops to navigate.
Intermediate [10]
The next ten levels of ‘Tightrope’ demonstrate a slight difficulty curve. You’ll be running across tightropes with more complexity, greater jumps, and the occasional enemy on the rope.
Adept [10]
The next ten levels of ‘Tightrope’ bring both length and difficulty to the extreme. There will be more rooftops to cross, fewer safe-spots, far more enemies on ropes, and timed pistons that will rhythmically fire arrows your way. Timing and patience are everything, as is your step.
Heroic [5]
These are no ordinary levels. Cubecraft is heavily lacking in challenging content, so let’s satisfy those in the community who love that feeling when you beat something really difficult. These missions will all take place on the same map, a map that’s far larger than all its predecessors. The distance between rooftops will also be absolutely massive, keeping players in dangerous environments for long periods of time. There are only two rules: you must reach the end of the stage alive, and there are no checkpoints.
Mission one
To kick-start the Heroic category, you must reach the end of the mission. That is all, no strings attached. You’ll be evading pistons, armoured zombies on the rooftops between tightropes, spiders on the tightropes, and skeleton fire from a distance.
Mission two
This mission holds a very frustrating obstacle: health regeneration is disabled, and you have Slowness I. The rest of it is the same as mission one, so good luck.
Mission three
This time around, blocks that you step on will begin to degrade. You must reach the finish, with absolutely no time for error. If you spend too much time on the rooftops, or have to pause on the tightropes, then it’s game over.
Mission four
Mission four sees a significant increase in mobs and obstacles. Jumps are somehow even harder and must be performed perfectly, and rooftops are no longer safe at all. Instead, they’re nether-themed, situating fire and lava that you can easily be hit into, or fall into if you’re reckless.
Mission five
Mission five is identical to its predecessor, mission four. Except, this time around, you cannot take a single hit; you have one heart. One poorly spaced zombie on a tightrope, the smallest fall from a large height, or a single fire charge, are more than enough to kill you and end your run. You have to play absolutely perfectly to beat the final mission of ‘Tightrope’, justifying the delicious reward for completing it.
Rewards for ‘Tightrope’:
Mission 1: 10 experience (No reward for subsequent completions)
Missions 2-5: 25 experience (5 experience for subsequent completions)
Missions 6-15: 50 experience, 25 points (15 experience for subsequent completions)
Missions 16-25: 100 experience, 35 points, 1 cubelet (25 experience for subsequent completions)
Mission 26: 250 experience, 75 points, 1 cubelet (65 experience for subsequent completions)
Mission 27: 250 experience, 100 points, 1 cubelet (65 experience for subsequent completions)
Mission 28: 500 experience, 150 points, 2 cubelets (90 experience, 30 points for subsequent completions)
Mission 29: 1,000 experience, 500 points, 4 cubelets (175 experience, 75 points, 1 cubelet for subsequent completions)
Mission 30: 5,000 experience, 1,000 points, 8 cubelets (250 experience, 150 points, 1 cubelet for subsequent completions)

Cubey
Cubey was a baby ocelot who used to roam around the Parkour lobby in 2014. Now Cubey is all grown up, and you can adopt her! However, she isn’t willing to follow just anybody – you must prove your worth.
Anybody who is able to complete every single parkour map in the Tutorial, Novice, Intermediate, Adept, and Heroic categories will be able to adopt Cubey. She will follow her new master around in every lobby, and will be visible even to those who have disabled players. You may even bring her into Parkour games, however she cannot be interacted with by other players, and can be disabled alongside everybody else.
