Suggestions! - Custom Dungeons, RPG Gameplay, Custom Crops Galore!Hello, it's Green. So for a bit now having started over on the server since coming back (by deleting my homes and not using any of my old stuff). From getting this new perspective. I have come to see that a bit about the gameplay on vc. The gameplay of village craft is very much in the category is being semi-vanilla, but enjoyable. For those in the community who may want some more variety like we have had the past (the moon plugin, the town scrolls, drug me up which is have now, jetpacks, and the old mcmmo). I think that a part of a lot of servers, and not to imply we need to be like other servers, is being distinguished from the crowd. I say our general feeling being one of the old servers not he web right with the chunk errors and old builds, is very much a plus and a boon. However when you get down to it. We don't have a lot of the very interesting and unique gameplay anymore given the plugins we did have being removed. I am not sure if this is a slow move intentionally since the community prefers less plugins and more vanilla gameplay or if this is unintentional. SMP servers have for the most part from ones I have seen a collection of plugins that make them unique. I can't say how many times I been to a server where there has been a completely unique set of plugins and slightly different gameplay mechanics. While I know a lot of stuff is in the works, and we have discussed bringing some of these things back. I know MCMMO was generally been shot down but people liked the idea of having a plugin based on more RPG elements or general gameplay changes and additions.
So I will introduce you to a few plugins I was looking at. All of these will be 1.16 compatible:
XP into Bottles -
https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/xpbottles-convert-exp-into-bottles.69233/ Essentially this is pretty simple allows the player to turn their own XP into XP Bottles that they can then sell. I think there is a way to set a fee for this conversion as well.
SimpleCrops -
https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/simplecrops-make-custom-crops-usefull-for-survival.71260/This allows for the creation through configs custom crops. They show the example of having crops that give iron and gold, which I don't really think would work economically and might be OP. But none the less given that it is customizable we could add some cool new crops that people could only get on Villagecraft by expanding it.
DungeonsXL -
https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/dungeonsxl.9488/This plugin allows for instances dungeons to be made and played through. What I was thinking that either CMs, Staff, or even regular players (with staff approval of course), could make dungeons and allow people to go through them. It could be a way for mid-game players to be able to get some loot. And it could also tie into how to get some of the new items that some of these plugins might add! It would be like a mod arena in a sense but for you to be able to flex your skills and gear.
RPGMobs -
https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/lorinthsrpgmobs.53568/Mostly for the use of the dungeons (Or in the overworld if people want. These could be added to basically enhance the dungeons or make the overworld more dangerous. Just something I found I am not to keen on this one.
Custom Magic Wands -
https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/magic-wands-fun-wands-for-your-server-version-for-1-16.80694/This mod is a mod that adds droppable Magic Wands there is some config to how they drop and such. Cyphur found that it doesn't work with worldguard which be added manually or we could just remove the problematic wands that break worldguard!
Notes: Not saying these all should be added just mainly to share my thoughts on a need to see some more gameplay enhancing plugins added. I know people like the game to vanilla but this server had never been vanilla. It really just had gotten that way since we have dropped and changed though so many of the other plugins we have had that changed the server as we need now. But given Luis and the dev team are working super hard on getting 1.16 working I don't want to badger them about working no these or badgering them until 1.16 is fully updated onto the server. But I think that a discussion can happen in the meanwhile. But yah the floor is yours!
