    Yup. I may have came across too frustrated, so i edited my initial response. Because like someone messaging me said: That's not how a staff member should be even if its understandably frustrating, and i agree. Throwing an attitude? Sure I guess, I do stand by what i said. You really don't have to like me or my responses ;).

  2. (This post is how I rate the items I got from the event) I opened 7 chests most items I got from it weren't really great

    Personally the only item I found really useful was the heart of the sea since I needed a conduit however I still needed the 8 shells to make it.
    Items I found to be good/ok were Hoppers, Pistons, Slime and Quartz. Potions are okay too since they have strong effects but only useful for the event since this is a pve server.

    All the other items I found are items I would throw in the trash, some of these items might be usefull to others but all this loot took me 30 minutes to find which is very inefficient.
    Items like redstone, rabbit foot, membranes, magma cream, gold nuggets, rails ect fish are very poor items since some serve really no use or too easy to obtain a different way.

    Most disappointing item I found was the chain helmet, the only enchants it had was aqua and protection 3, wish it was at least maxed out or was diamond? it only takes at least an hour of gameplay just to get a helmet like that while also doing other things. As for the Lost Staff Items, I'm personally not a collector but these items are just meh to me since you can only showcase them as a trophy.

    I personally would love to see more cosmetic armour that gives out particle effects like the nekkid water gear in the loot table.

    @2019 It's quite difficult coming up with items to put in the themed chests. On the one hand you want to give something to the newer players while also having something in it for the more veteran players. So I settled on chest with not only the good items but also other items that may or may not be of use for some players. And I think that mix is o.k to have, as long as each themed chest has something to look forward to for each player. You can always choose to leave the items in the chest you don't want/need for others to loot and quickly search for another chest, but that is up to your play style ;). As for the armor I'll probably go to an earlier iteration where there is a slightly higher chance for diamond armor to drop and remove it dropping iron armor. Staff items is just flavor like in last map with the bottles. Only this time you can't trade the items for the achievement, you need to be the one opening the chest with one inside. Lastly, there is a unique item to be obtained tied with one of the achievements that gives a cool unique effect (with some side effects) but it requires more testing for now.

    Thanks btw, stuff like this is useful

    Would it be possible to add a button close to where you spawn in at Spawn that removes the debuffs and effects the negative potions would cause but also make you unable to open any chest at spawn? That way you cannot cheat?

    It's not impossible. Ish. The challenging part about it is how will you deny them participating in the event.

    -Only possible way to lock a chest that i can think of is with a key (named item). But anyone can name that specific item to open the chest. So that wont work.
    -Can deny them entry near a chest with Worldguard, but that would mean 151 separate regions to set up. Which is overkill and something I'm not willing to do.
    -Summon a repeating commandblock when chest spawns that kills/tps nearby players to spawn is the only low-time-investment option i can see, but will possibly add to lag.
    My other concern is someone with a speed item scouting for a person without one, which may or may not be lucrative

  7. You could just give everyone at spawn a speed 2-5 effect. That would solve the issue and make the event more fast-paced.

    Nah since the speed on items is a modifier that gets added to any speed increase, making them even faster. I've implemented a solution.
