Skywars Update (Loot pools)

Emerald Ore:

  • Remove Protection 1 Diamond Helmet and make it exclusive to Mystery Chests like Protection 1 Diamond Boots already are.
  • Replace Respiration 1 Iron Helmet with a Protection 1 Iron Helmet to make it useful
  • Remove Sharpness 1 Iron Sword (same as Diamond Sword stats)
  • Possibly Replace Sharpness 2 Iron Sword with Sharpness 1 Diamond Sword

Gold Ore:

  • Lower the chances of Gold Ore Spawning (please)
  • Lower the chance of Frozen / Poison boom boxes dropping (much less useful than normal and knockback)

Iron Ore:

  • Increase drop chance for blocks (discourages bow spamming slightly and helps out players who get no blocks from chests)

Lapis Ore:

  • Add a Jump Boost Book
  • Make Fire Trail less common (or just remove it lol)

Spawn Chests:

  • Make blocks guaranteed in at least 1 chest (so players aren’t guaranteed to lose if they’re unlucky)

Mystery Chest:

  • Remove Blast Prot. 1 Diamond Chestplate with normal Protection 1 Diamond Chestplate (Boom Boxes don’t deal enough damage to be lethal on their own, therefore Blast Protection is nearly useless.)
  • Remove Fire Trail Book as a drop

A lot of these may be personal pet peeves but I do think the loot pool could use some work and the game does need some balancing (cough cough PROTECTION 1 HELMET cough cough). Most of the games also do need an update to keep Hive alive, and I feel changing loot pools can be a good start. :slight_smile:

Welcome to the forums!
Diamond gear in ender chests at mid should also have a smaller weight so it’s harder to just walk up and get full gear. Also, I think this should be put in #suggestions:skywars so we can vote for it.
I like this list. Most of it I would be very happy with.

I agree with this. I also feel that fire charges should be removed entirely since fire swords are better at doing their job and are more common. And before Hive bothers adding protection 1 Diamond Chestplate, they have got to fix the way protection 1 works entirely. Right now, it’s broken.

As for the fire trail spell, it should give you fire resistance when you use it. Otherwise, it’s useless.

P.S: You might wanna put this in #suggestions:skywars

we already have prot on everything else it makes it interesting and diamond helmets are like the easiest things to get so i don’t see lots of people using it

im saying that whenever anyone sees something is enchanted they put it on

so the thing is when u combo someone ; u keep taking damage and will mess up ir combo

and we have prot only on boots not everything else

prot on boots and helmet. Blast prot on chestplate. If the damage annoys you bow spam them. Taking damage won’t affect a combo anyway

hey :smile:

i dont want this to be an argument its just a friendly debate

the point of combos is to give others damage while you dont take any so combos will be useless as if the persor who ur comboing is full dia with prot boots and ur hitting them with a stone sword and less armour u will take damage too and it will be easier for the other person to kill you if your combo ends

This isn’t an argument. Multiple people on a thread that i made that holds the forums record here about the respiration helmet wants thorns. Thorns isn’t in the game and won’t hurt anything. Id rather have something new and unique than something old that 3 other armer pieces already have

great idea, I love it. The respiration helmet is useless and isn’t required.
You have my vote on the gold ore part too :+1:

  1. Welcome to the forums!!! :wave: :splodger: :beedance: :partying_face: It’s always nice to see new people here.

and 2. Don’t make a list of things for suggestion, that wasy people know what they are voting for.
although you could argue that this is technicly one thing, it’s still a list.

  1. Alo don’t forget to vote for your own suggestion, it doesnt automaticly count your vote.

ya, good ideas tho

Does thorns pierce through armor? If so you could just basically stand still with prot boots and kill everyone by hugging them.

you do know that this person has had an older account right

It’s all chance tbh. Some games I get 6 ores of each and other games I’ll get 1 emerald and no diamond. Another reason why Gold Ore spawn rates need to be lowered so people aren’t given 20 gold ore instead of actually useful ores.
