Idea Magnet Idea

Well, I can imagine this causing quite a bit of rage / flame on the servers with people 'stealing' each others loot.
I also presume it could be difficult to prevent this picking up items from the other side of a wall, for example.

 

I don't like the idea of someone that's 20 blocks away being able to loot scoop another player's hard earned loot.

 

Well this idea has its pros and cons. But a way the magnet could be improved is if the items move at a slow enough pace toward you where the player could take back the item fast enough, but where the magnet can pick up the item fast enough too.

 

What if u only can pick up items from people on your friendlist?

 

This could work but make's the item a little more limited. It seems like an idea that would need some work.

 

As an avid Mc-WarZ player, I hate seeing all of my loot that I took time to get just go away. I think that this definitely could have potential, although maybe make it so that it's a tiny bit more rare, and so that it only picks up the loot of the people you're friended with.

 

What of it could only take so many items at a time?

 

Perhaps the magnet would be a hopper, and you could only get 5 items from the hopper and it will disappear. A cooldown on placing magnets could also be implemented.

 

Maybe also like only 5 blocks this would be useful when someone camps echest but you kill them in the doorway but they still have a friend in there.

 

Sounds interesting, but needs some tweaking in order to be balanced, 20 blocks is a lot. Maybe like less than 12? That could work fairly well in my opinion.

 

try think a guy join in at enderchest in nether and 2 full d is fighthing one off them die and the guy who logged in take a magnet picking up all the d and log out this would create RAGE

 

yeah

 

20 blocks is a bit excessive, considering you can only pick up items around 1-2 blocks away from you. Maybe 5 blocks would be more efficient? I like the over all concept, but if someone stole my loot from 20 blocks away, I would not be happy >:L

 

You could just get players camping around a corner/the other side of a wall, getting easy loot if players are fighting & dying nearby..

 

I love this idea. Everyone is acting like a player will steal loot every time you kill someone. First off, if it's a friend, they can just pick up the loot manually. Adding magnet wouldn't change if they loot scooped or not. Second, this is as rare as diamond armor and (I would assume) a 1 time use. It isn't that op.

 

This is unique.
But you can just tp your friend with a magnet and just scoop up loot again.

This could be very good, and very bad both ways.

 

I think this would be very hard to code. But a great idea, I would love to see it in the game

 

But if the guy who killed your friend had a magnet, he could just as easily collect his barrett.
