An idea that I've had for a while was for a Minecraft game based around combat. I've seen some videos of this type of gameplay, and based on my own testings with everyone on a survival server, I feel like it would only be amazing.
Basic Stuff:
Everyone plays in a fresh world.
Everyone is split into teams of two.
You can go wherever you want as long as you stay within -1000 to 1000 on X and Z(Use F3 to check that).
Both teams have go in separate directions to prepare.
After one day and night cycle, both teams can start to search for each other.
When anyone dies, they are out of the game.
A team loses when everyone on their team is dead.
BONUS! HARDCORE MOD!
Health does not regen with full hunger. Still drops when hunger is empty.
Only way to restore health is golden apples and health potions.
Both take gold ingots instead of nuggets.
If anyone is interested in trying it out, let me know. This is just something I though would be fun to do for a day.
