Idea Player Hosted Events Idea

Player Hosted Events Idea​

Below is some brainstorming I did regarding players being able to hold their own events. This system would allow players to hold build contests, skin competitions, roleplay events, or just social gatherings. The idea is to have it so it's mainly GUI (inventory) based with commands for needed text input.


Creating
People can setup events for others to warp to:
/event create {name} {length} {description}

If no length is supplied the event will last 1 hour in the GUI menu. The host may close the event before that time is over. The max length would be 4 hours. You should be able to sort and view the events in different ways (most popular, newest, oldest, etc).

Events can be categorized into one of the following categories:

Build events
Hangout events
PvP event
Parkour event
Skin contest
Roleplay event
Other​

An icon could be picked to display the event in a chest GUI, or the event owner's head could be used.


(left to right) Rename, Set Description, Set Length, Set Category, Set Icon, Delete


Inviting
Event hosts can invite players to their event:
/event invite {name} {custom invitation message}

A global announcement may be issued every whatever minutes.

You can only send out a limited number of invitations. Your /friends are not included in this limit, but you may not spam them.


(left to right) Announce Globally, Invite Friends, Invite Other (tells them how)


Joining
If you join an event by using /event join {name} you are added to the event participators list. The event host could TP to you at any time through a playerhead based GUI. Players may leave as a participator by issuing /event leave {name}.

When an event is created it is announced in chat and allows people to immediately participate in it.


(left to right) Build, Chill/Hangout, PvP, Parkour, Skin Contest, Roleplay Event, Other

Once you select a category you will be able to see all the events for that specific category (along with their icon).


An example of what the actual event selector may look like. The top tells you what category you are looking under. The random blocks and items below that are open server events. The redstone repeaters and comparator are the previous and next page buttons (when applicable).


Managing
Through commands and the GUI system, you may teleport to players and kick them from your event. Left clicking them would teleport while right clicking their head in the GUI would kick them from the event.


The top block would be the icon you chose for your event. All of the heads below would be the skins of players that have joined your event. If any log out, they are listed last as skulls.


Additional Forgot Ideas/Thoughts

• You would need to be able to set your event warp/TP location.
• A way to chat with all participants via a chat channel is needed.
• Players shouldn't make social events to use it as just a chat channel. We should find an alternative way for players to chat in a group if this becomes a common thing.
• The event browser should probably show the most recent or most popular contests then allow you to restrict your view to one of the categories. So, the categories would be at the top row followed by the events below.
