I desperately don’t want seasons to be just a reset or something bland like that, no, I think they should be new features and lore catalysts! This season 2 concept is all about the Hive pirates having to fight merfolk and maybe other aquatic creatures that are invading their islands and ships.
I’ll consider this accepted if Season 2 has any aquatic theme and is merfolk takeover-centered.
Story
The Hive pirates were just Havana good time and have decided to seas the wrong day and have gone on an adventure a bit too far into the ocean, angering the nearby merfolk clan. These merfolk are now causing a massive commocean in an attempt to take over the pirate’s island. Just when things are really getting out of sand, the merfolk send a Kraken to eliminate the Hive pirates for good. Really krills the vibe, doesn’t it?
Visual Changes
All NPCs would be changed to merpeople, and things like signs would look waterlogged and have things like tenacles and starfish all over them, creating the effect that a tidal wave or tsunami swept in, destroying everything.
Currencies would be changed from:
Iron, Gold, Diamond, Emerald
to
Prismarine Shard, Prismarine Crystal, Turtle Scute, Heart of the Sea
Model Concepts
Game NPC concept
Challenge Merchant concept (The arm would be pointing to the challenge board)
Gameplay Changes
Turrets would become Drowned with tridents, with a slower attack speed and stronger arrows with a trident model. Maps would be modified to have the same feel of a tidal wave as the microhub and models. There (obviously) would be new items, including underwater-themed replacements for things like deepslate and more fish items replacing things like fireballs.
Not really a gameplay change, but all maps would have an ocean replacing the void below the islands.
NEW ITEM: Flopper, a throwable fish item that would flop around randomly, damaging any player it comes in contact with, and can be killed (3 turret hit points) but will take damage on it’s own, as it’s quite literally a fish out of water. This would replace the Dragon Fireball.
Cosmetics
Aquatic-themed bed sets and shopkeepers, simple enough.
Other
There could be a live event at the end of Season 2 in the microhub where players fight off a final wave of the merfolk (and/or a Kraken1), forcing them back into the water. This would take huge effort, I know, but they did it with the Sonic event, so they can probably do it again.
A level reset would happen at the start of the season. Hear me out! You would keep your cosmetics as fresh ones would be rolled out for the new season, and every player who played season one would get a hub title stating their level at the end of the season, like all the stat tracker hub titles.
Feel free to suggest more changes and modifications, there’s no way I came up with all the good ideas for this lol.

Acceptation terms
I’ll consider this accepted if a Bedwars season is themed around aquatic stuff. This is rough, as there’s absolutely no way Hive will copy this idea block-for-block. If I (and/or the general community) believe this is accepted, the topic will be flagged for acceptation.
