    I wasn't entirely sure where to put this, but I'll just put it here for the time being.

    When I want to play MC-War, I normally go to the MCBrawl hub, and pick out a server that's playing a game type I like. About 80% of the time though, the server is in-game, and I have to either go back to the hub and try another server so I can play sooner, or wait out the server that I tried first. I would like if possibly the name of the emerald blocks in the compasses in the hub server changed, or even the emerald block changed to a lapis block if that server was in-game. This would let people get to playing MC-War sooner, and have a much better experience on the whole network. I hope that you will take my suggestion into consideration.

    Maybe just put a giant message saying "IN PROGRESS" within the block description next to the gamemode and map name instead?

    If this could stop the people asking "When does the game start?" or "How do I start playing?" I'm all for it, since it's always awkward finding a good place to type a response to help the poor guy out.

    I agree with you, it's also possible to let it say "NEXT/CURRENT" GAME: ........
    At the moment it says only "GAME", just add next or current on it :smile:

    In the future, ideas that involve changes or additions to the plugins belong in the "Server Ideas" section. It's all right, I see you're new, but just as an fyi :wink:

    This sounds like an amazing suggestion. Going on War to see that the game is in progress is not a big problem, but rather an annoyance. Changing the block or the name is a great idea.

    Awesome idea. I think that the lobby should be a blue block if it is in progress or an orange block if the lobby is in between games. These two colors are very different so players can tell if a game is in progress or in the lobby very easily.

    Great idea, for reasons above such as Jake's.

    Sounds pretty good to me. I think that F1r's idea of putting in big bold letters "In-Progress" in the server description would be better, as it would lead to less confusion. You could also have the words "Starting" as well in the server description.

    Suggested before, or at least something very similar to it.
    Good idea nonetheless.

    Maybe change the block to say lapis or iron if it's in progress?

    Amazing idea! I completely agree with F1r3tar, and relating to what Rainy said changing of block or name would be great or even both, usually I won't comment if what I would reply has already been mentioned but this would be a fantastic feature, it would make server selection far easier instead of having to hop.

    I've sent this to Myortvye for more attention to this feature.

    This feature will be implemented when War 2.0 comes out. Any digging into the current War is deemed useless because of the upcoming re-make.

    For now, this will be locked.
