A new Pillars of Fortune-esque game mode!
It is a fun, unique game mode that keeps players on the edge of their seats. It would drive engagement and further enhance player retention.
It would also potentially serve as an additional revenue driver, as map voting and in game “modifier” voting would increase Hive rank purchases so players can attain that sought-after double vote.
It is a simple game mode and maps are extremely easy to construct for it. I believe that the benefits provided from the new mode would outweigh the slight time cost significantly.
Cubecraft has this; Hive wants to be original. They aren’t going to take pillars of fortune, unless it’s super different. Also the modifiers idea is such a cash grab; I don’t like Cubecraft for it.

Cubecraft has BedWars too, no? Most servers share a bunch of core games. Why not add one that not many have? This, in turn, would make the Hive more original
But it was a Cubecraft original idea. Hive will not steal ideas.
If you want to play pillars of Fortune play Cubecraft. (But don’t play cubecraft, it sucks)

Games such as bedwars and skywars don’t belong to any server. A lot of servers have used those, and even those games are really unique in Hive, due to lucky ores and the many oddities that its bedwars has. It’s completely different if Hive just straight up takes a game like that. In my opinion, luck based games are not fun.

You two are both just saying not to play the game…
I do not understand the seriousness behind ‘taking’ another server’s game.
Each game originated on some distinct server at some point in time. By your logic, most every server is “stealing” modes.
I like the Hive. I like the Pillars of Fortune game mode. I would like to play it on my preferred server, and I’m sure others would enjoy it as well.
This isn’t a pitch to the seldom few players on the forum that have some odd sense of moral superiority.
The Hive server is essentially a business, and I am merely suggesting to the Admin an idea for a quick integration that can further enhance player numbers and revenue.

Bedwars really didn’t originate from any server, meaning no one can really “steal” the idea. But pillars of fortune was always known as a cube craft game. The reason “stealing” mini games is a big deal is because it makes the hive seem to have less originality, because they took a game mode that was already made by someone else, and put it on their own

wrong; it was one of the few ideas the youtuber ‘cheappickle’ DIDNT steal
but yeah games like bedwars and skywars are classic and just a staple of any pvp server, but PoF has only been around for a couple years and in general isnt what anyone thinks of when they think ‘minecraft mingames’

I know but they were the first bedrock server with it, Hive will NEVER steal game.
Absolutely not. This game was originally made on a Youtuber’s server on java, so this was never FROM or MADE BY cubecraft. This also means a gamemode like this would not be stealing. Please have my vote @TNL_WADDLE
I like the idea but we can just play cubecraft for pillars of fortune
welcome to the forums. i think that similar games are drab. and if you love pillars of fortune so much perhaps you could just go to cubecraft one and a while.
Unfortuanely i will not be bumping this.

I do agree that cubecraft has terrible ping, and I try to avoid playing it, but Hive still shouldn’t take it. Although it was originally made by a Java Youtuber; Cubecraft is the server that brought it to bedrock. Additionally, not many people know CheapPickle; so they will just be seeing it as the Hive stealing from Cubecraft. Let Cuebcraft keep their game.

I propose that it be called “columns of luck”

This is what I meant when I said it’s always been known as a cubecraft game @Hyperblade7160

That’s not going to be enough. For it to be added, Hive would have to change it an extremely different to make it feel original.

¡COUGH-COUGH (Block drop)! ¡COUGH COUGH COUGH (TNT Run) COUGH COUGH COUGH!
Hive did change TNT run to make it block drop, but yes, you’re right, I don’t know why block drop was added.

The reason they could add Block Drop was because it was not on only 1 server. It was just like bedwars.

Tnt run is already one of the more universal minigames, being in the same category of ancient games as spleef. Block Drop was also initially an LTM, which makes it being similar to another game less egregious.
As for the topic itself, while I think this could be fun, it wouldn’t really attract any players to Hive since the Cubecraft version is already fairly well known.
