Good idea?

Basically the way it would work is that the map make would place where they want possible chests to be, then when the game starts the plugin chooses a percentage of these chests randomly and removes the rest from this game, that would make it a lot more like the actual Hunger Games, as people would not know where the chests were going to be, and would make the games a lot easier on new players who do not have a great chest route. This could work with all the current maps as the plugin would simply need to choose from the ones that are currently in the map.

Lots of people probably would not like this to be added, but I personally think it should be. Adds another element of challenge to the game which is always a good thing. :)

Too much like the hive.
As far as I know, The Hive's crate system is completely randomized. What I believe Mr. Dice is suggesting is that they be randomized, but they spawn in the same spots, just not every game. So Chest routes would be more of a gamble since you don't know for sure if certain chests will be there.

This has been possible in the plugin since early in v2 development, but no map makers have requested it. It's on a map by map basis.

I think it would be fun tbh. It would be a challenge for everyone. :)

The Hive system is basically the same thing. Possible locations are predetermined, say 400 crates. 200 or more of those crates are chosen to actually appear in game.

The hive does just this, like people have said. One of the reasons I prefer MCSG over the hive is that routes actually make a difference. If there were randomized chests, you could have a general area to go to, but it can make some routes really OP some games while ruining other routes that people normally use.
