PvP areas, decor, layouts, feedback - Help needed!

[Orange_AB]

Hi everyone,

In this thread, I'd like to talk about current gamemode pvp areas, particularly how and where they can be improved. I've had quite a few people approach me with suggestions for improvements or dislikes of exisiting pvp (e.g. magma blocks in pvp). For future purposes, I'd like to get your feedback on how we can (potentially) improve current pvp areas, as well as how you would like pvp areas to be developed in the future.

What would be helpful are any ideas or examples of decor, layouts, and features through images and what not.
Below are some scuffed MS paint sketches of survival and oneblocks pvp zones to use as examples.
If you have any better layout ideas, please try to follow my example sketches and provide your own, so that I can see what you would want more clearly;






Figure 1. Survival Spawn

​

Figure 2. Oneblock Spawn

Another thing that can be useful are suggestions for what features should and should not be included in pvp. My goal here is to make pvp more enjoyable for you as a community. But I cannot promise that I will be able to do absolutley everything that is suggested here.

I would also like to mention that I am not a Dev! I do not handle things that are more crucial to gameplay with plugins etc. I merely place blocks, but still feel free to suggest gameplay mechanics that can be improved upon as I'd like to use this thread as a "go-back-to" thing for both current and future additions to Foxcraft.

For me personally, i enjoyed the simplicity of the oneblock pvp area back in the day. However with the addition of a bunch of new custom enchants, we have so many different playstyles now that the pvp area definitely needs to be updated.

This is just a bunch of ideas that came to mind so anyone should feel free to add some ideas or comment on them in the replies.

I would like some bigger changes in elevation. Something that has different plateaus would make mace pvping and pvping in general way more fun and diverse. Additionally, allowing for riptide trident usage would be incredible paired with more diverse terrain. With the addition of the spear in the upcoming update, which will undoubtedly change minecraft pvp forever, i would suggest molding this arena around spear usage/counters. Also, something i saw a while ago was a suggestion for a seperate, small part of the arena with keepinventory disabled. This "hardcore" area would make 1v1's way more fun and meaningful, and it would also work really well with the current /bounty system. Making all these things work together is crucial of course, and certainly not easy, but it would certainly boost the dynamic between everyone's different playstyles and maybe even revive oneblock somewhat.

Of course these are just my suggestions so please add your (as in anyone's) thoughts below.

good luck ornch
