A UHC type gamemode is pretty popular at the moment. But they take quite a long time and not really friendly to mobile players. My suggestion would be to add a UHC gamemode with a twist, making it like hive and also fast paced,
Short: uhc but with skywars ores
Long:
Gathering resources:
Resource gathering is a key part to UHC. To make it faster, possibly make it similar to. Skywars, diamonds drops diamond armour. Also, more ores would be scattered arround the ground or within structures for easier access, but ores would be more common within caves.
Ore types:
Diamonds - diamond armour and loot
Red stone - red stone material like pistons, observers etc, bc trapping content is pretty popular
Gold - food like golden apples
Iron - iron gear
Lapis - enchanting gear, not enchanted gear. But enchanting table bookshelves, lapis and xp
Emerald - emeralds would be more common with some secondary items. Bows, cobwebs, buckets of water and lava, potions, custom things like chompy, etc.
How it works:
The map has a mid but doesn’t have mid loot, otherwise it might kill SG
First 5 minutes would be grace period, letting people get their gear.
Last 10 minutes would be fighting, there would be a closing border towards the middle.
Plz comment anything that could improve this idea. I might incoorporate it into the post
