Survival Suggestions (17 March 2016. Updated)

Survival - New Suggestions!​

First of all, I would like to thank the staff for helping to revamp the shop and fix the spawn as well as the shop. Thank you all for reading this and to the staff, for adding the new items in the shop.

Basically, Shop Signs in Survival will only work if it is something like this:

[Sell/Buy]
(Number of items)
(Type of item)
(Cost)

​

I would like to make some suggestions to the current available items in the shop. Please note that if these items are added to the Survival Shop, the prices may change as this is just my personal opinion of how these items should be priced. I am also not very clear about the correct names of the all the items, but I am sure that you will be able to understand the entities' names. Please do not take any offence from the suggestions below.

This suggestion was given by tommy2002517:

Instead of being able to only buy or sell 1 blaze rod at a time, there can also be another shop sign or just remove the sign and edit it to buy or sell 16, 32 or 64 at a time. If you have played Survival long enough or known the basic economy there, a lot of seasoned players would have caught on to the fact that one blaze rod sells for $75 at the spawn shop. Thus, many of them would be making most of their money by farming blazes using blaze spawners. There have been times when the Blaze Rod Sell sign is totally blocked by players trying to find a clear pixel in between the crowd of diamond armour of people to sell their blaze rods.

I also wish to put in another suggestion following up tommy2002517's suggestion.
In some other servers, shop signs would sell 64 of that item at a time, and for example, if you only have less than 64 of that item, you are still able to sell them but would of course get a lesser amount of money. E.g. If a shop allows you to sell 64 dirt for $64, and you only have 2 of the dirt, you would get $2, etc. I am sorry that I do not recall the name of the plugin and how exactly to install this into the server but I hope that this suggestion makes sense.

/sell hand

/sell hand is a command which allows you to hold an item which is sellable in your hand and by typing /sell hand , the type of item in your inventory will be removed and sold. This saves time and will allow players to sell their items easily.

Stack Potions
I propose that drinkable potions and splash potions can be stacked. In Survival, other than surviving and building structures, some have other uses for potions such as PvPing and parkouring, etc. Stacking potions (64 potions in a single item slot) allows a player to use each potion easily so that they do not have to pause and select another potion to use.

Mob Farm - Less lag?
In Survival, obtaining spawners is possible by using a Silk Touch pickaxe to mine the spawner. For some players, they gain money by using mob farms. However, afking at the mob farm for too long easily translates to more lag as more entities and mobs are spawned and not killed around the same area. This causes inconvenience as this forces players to either move away despite the low frame rate or attempt to kill all of them, which is virtually impossible.
This brings me to my next point. In some servers, e.g. blazes in blaze farms would "stack up" in a single blaze mob. For example, if a single blaze spawns, it would "go into" another blaze already "sitting" at the bottom, waiting for the player to deal with it. The player can see how many blazes there are by looking just above the blaze mob, where the indicator reads: x(no.) Blaze. I do not know the certain plugin or modification for this to occur, however.

If any of you have any other suggestions or opinions, please put them down below and I will try my best to amend it according to your liking. Thank you for reading this thread!​

 

The endstone shop sign has been fixed, thanks for the heads up.

Thank you TannerLittle! I'll take note of where to put my threads in the future. So sorry for the inconvenience.

For everyone else, I'll remove the part about the sign being wrong so as to not confuse you.
