Quarter Quell leaderboards reset and news about the Diamond giveaway!

Sucks that my Hallucinations suggestion didn't go through, but I'm still proud that I made a good suggestion. Congrats to the winners!

Maybe possible in the future? We're greatly limited on some things due to limitations in Minecraft itself.

The amount of TNT is minimal enough so that it shouldn't cause client lag - 9 TNT is spawned around you roughly every 5 seconds. If we need to, more tuning will be done with it.


We already have fog (segment 2) and blood rain (segment 1), and you can't really make monkeys in Minecraft.
The book only specifies around 7 disasters, to which we had to find out how to implement into Minecraft; the rest were open to us.

If there is a will, there is a way... If you use my Special Resource Pack (SRP) idea, You can shape a block like a monkey... After that make the zombies wear leather armor and that Monkey Shape block. (Maybe you can paint the leather armor too" Or easy way, give zombies speed. and change their textures with SRP. And you said fog, you mean flames??? I think you can make a scoreboard-thing that recieves points when you walk in cobweb. When you got that points, you gain poison or damage. Hard part is making cobwebs move. But I think It's easy with plugins, right? And water heal; That scoreboard loses points while you are in water. If you don't wanna mess, you just can make a plugin for that... And bloodrain... Blue blood, seriously? Im sayin SRP again...
Edit: OMG find an awesome way! I played in a famous server, there were a rule that says Server textures must be on. Why dont you do same? You can make a special server texture. Sooo, when you join qq, your resource pack will automatically change and here is awesome realistic Catching Fire map.!

I feel like it can be possible, but it just may take a bit more time to develop. I'd mention a current gamemode for an example, but I don't want to feel like I'm advertising, considering it's on another server.

So uhm, depressed that you post this after I become like...ranked 28 xD haha I was ranked 21 for awhile! >.< lol Couldn't like...reset this right before I lost three in a row? xD

QQ needs a lot of fixing the tnt rain has stopped lagging, but i got kicked for flying because i got caught jumping, then glass spawned and trapped me.. Again, full iron diamond sword, and getting kicked for flying is not fun.

The blood isn't blue if you use the default resource pack, as it is derived from the redstone block texture.

Ok but still have lot of problems... Look at my other ideas

Hey Forairan, I have a few questions about Quarter Quell maps and MCSG maps. This also applies to the Arena I am making for the contest. I appreciate your time responding to these.

Are we allowed to use:

• Custom Entity/Mob Spawners
• The TNT in other situations
• Spawners to create a "moving" deathmatch arena

Other Questions:

• Is the "forcefield" displayed in the Catching Fire QQ map capable of being an ellipse? (Instead of a circle)
• Would it be possible to have the forcefield only spawn above certain blocks (then a round forcefield isn't required, and the border can be manipulated at ease)
• Do QQ Map makers have to incorporate all the disasters into their map (a full 12 segmented arena) or can we pick and choose. (Our map only has 8 segments, less would be boring, more would be would be insane
• Can we request all players and spectators be teleported to a certain location after the game has ended? (Like the teleport to deathmatch) (I would like them all teleported back to the corn right before the server cleanup (for a cool explosion )

Other Comments/Questions:

• Last week I made the water in my QQ/MCSG Map poisonous. (Meaning if you stepped in it, you'd get hit with a poison potion with a duration of 5 seconds) This used entity spawners to spawn a thrown potion. Then in the catching fire suggestions thread I saw over 20 suggestions of "toxic/poisionous water". While this wouldn't be a segment of the map, it would be super fun and also be responding to the wants of the people! xD I asked Tree_TheBigKind via private message if it would be allowed and he said that it's not in MCSG but he doesn't know about QQ. Hopefully it'll be allowed in both as it doesn't cause lag and looks swaggy as swag!

Thanks for your time,
-Spaghetti

When I read that "It doesn't cause lag" I was like "WUT?" lol. And congrats on diamond donor (I was going to say mod , as I got used to it..)

Just trust me, I might even set up a small server on my dedicated machine and give out the IP so you all can see the nonexistant lag or something. Also, I bought diamond donor a few months ago but thanks :]
