Some ideas of games to diversify tastes in the server

Hello everyone !

I was thinking today about “What games can be added to HiveMC to diversify even more experiences and tastes ?”. But I really believe the good way to do it is by thinking about what is existing today on the server.

You see, I think HiveMC loves sharing pertinent games, that have a unic and distinct style among the others. They can be defined as :

  • unic
  • appealing
  • simple to learn and play
  • built with subtility in term of depth and simplicity

So here we go, based on this list and what’s already existing in the server today, here’s my thoughts about games that could be included for ya all. They can of course be modified, adding some ideas and tastes, suggestions, opinions, it’s up to you !

Idea 1 : a creative game, called Complete It !

In this game, players will have to build in 3d something. But this time, it’s not about a subject given at the starts : every player will get an object, or a place, or something, that they will have to complete with imagination and originality. What can you do with a coffee, a tree, or a statue showing someone happy ? It’s up to you !

Idea 2 : an action game, called Cats and Mice

Players are either a cat, or a mouse. In this game, mouses try to get the most cheese spreading on the map, while avoiding the cats that try to get them. When a cat gets a mouse, it wins a point, and the mouse loses a certain percentage of cheese, and 5 seconds to reappear randomly in the map. The game ends in 3 or 5 minutes. On the podium, we have the mouse who get the most cheese, the one who get the less caught while running, and the cat who caught the most mouses.

Idea 3 : a parkour game, called Gotta Go Fast

Players will be confronted to a parkour, but the twist is some parts are fixed, but some others are randomly generated (you know, //set gold,0,0,0,0,0,0 for example), making every parkour different every time. Checkpoints exist so players like in Parkours, can respawn somewhere if they fall.

Idea 4 : a puzzle game, called Puzzle Mania

Here, every players will be in there own area, they can’t see what the others are doing. They get a board divised in two spaces : the left side contains a hole, that needs to be filled with the pieces of the right side. When selecting a piece, the player will then be able to place it on the board, accordingly to the block he/she chooses.

Idea 5 : a minigame mix game, called The Lab is Back

The laboratory of the Java version changed : bedrock is everywhere, and a new scientist that looks like a… creeper ? enters the room, with it’s “ssss” langage that you can understand thanks to a traductor. Three minigames show randomly, and of you go. You’ll see some of the minigames already existing, but new ones also ! Be prepared, play well, and try to get to the podium.

Idea 6 : a precision aiming game, called Magic Cauldrons

You are in an exam of magic potions, and here are several cauldrons, some funny surprises can get out of each of them. Pay attention, and try to get what’s coming out of them in order to fulfill what’s required to make your potions. Aim, and get the items with your magic stick. Be carefull, they’ll get out at a random speed and high, some ingredients are nasty and will waste your time, or will make you lose one ingredient. The first player to complete his/her potions wins the game.

Idea 7 : a flying game, called If I had Wings

Players starts from an island, and wear their most beautiful elytras for the fly. When the start is given, players will fly and go across a weird land made in a tube. Try to go through rings in order to get more points, emerald 1 point, gold 3 and diamond 5, but their size change. If you fail to go in a ring and touch it, you’ll lose a point. The player with the most points at the end wins the game.

Idea 8 : a weird game, called Block Panik

In this one, players are stuck in a hole, and… suddenly, blocks fall from the sky ! The aim is to climb, and not get hurt too much by the blocks falling, no health regenarated. Bonuses appear randomly, like getting protection for 15 seconds, or jump boost, or speed boost. The first player to get to the top wins the game.

I like this suggestion but i think if the hive was going to add this they might need to make a mini game arcade because of 8 games but, another thing is Idea 7 is basically Elytra Race (this existed in legacy console edition) and the name doesn’t really give a idea what the game is, also Idea 1 is Build Swap but this time there is no player well actually it’s Drawception but in Minecraft, Idea 2 Hmm… why do i think that is something i remember well because it’s Tag but really it’s for points not switching teams, Idea 3 there is literally parkour on the main lobby, Idea 6 is not a precision aiming game it’s basically a memory game also why the first player to get it right wins there should at least be three people who win also think about speed imagine if you play this game that ingredient goes 2x the Speed of Light people can even remember that maybe put a limit and mention it, Idea 8 isn’t this hide under a slab from hypixel party games but this time there are bonuses also 15 seconds of Protections what why don’t put that at least put it on 5 seconds on all of them also climbing up this is literally donkey kong from the old arcade classics also falling block above if it hits a player mid climbing at least it shouldn’t keep on hitting ladders just hit random places. Ok this is all i need to explain but really though I still think there needs to be improvements to this not trying to be overly negative this is just what think that might be wrong with this
