    Tents... probably one of the most useless items in WarZ currently. What if there was a way to make them more useful? And possibly the best item in the game?

    I've posted this idea in the official MC-WarZ Community Discord, however I am here to share it and get different opinions on this.

    So to start off, tents are currently items that can only be placed out of certain zones, and spawn a 3 block high mini shelter, with a chest in the center.

    Why they are currently useless:

    - Tents cannot be used inside zones, meaning it's an inconvenience to use them
    - Spawns a very small shelter that you can still be shot at from two ways.
    - Spawns a chest, that
    - can be accessed by other players
    - clears when the server resets

    Basically, there's no point in using them. There never really has been, coming from a 2013 WarZ Player.

    Now, how could we make them better? (To make this fully functional, we would need a slight zone re-work I believe)

    To start off:

    - Tents become extremely rare items, harder to find then Golden Apples (Only spawn in Zone 6)
    - Tents spawn a slightly bigger structure, with protection from all sides except one.
    - Tents would now spawn with either
    - An ender chest
    - Or a separate personal storage vault (Realize this would be a new idea and would have to be coded)
    - After being placed down, tents would disappear after 60 seconds.
    - Tents can be used inside all zones, but not inside a town (Which would have a new radius)

    This following message was posted by @Carsonn on the Discord, giving an example of how we could make this work.

    "it's probably ok having to be placed outside zones, but since some zones are large and it may be tedious having
    to go outside of zones to place the tents, maybe in the future we could use the structures code from CTF that
    dictates where you can and can't place structures and implement that in warz
    on CTF I think there are certain blocks that have radii around them in which structures can't be placed, and
    they're typically built in the map around flag areas"

    This is basically an outline for a full Tent Re-Work.

    I'd like thoughts to make this better, and if you see any issues that could come from this.

    Zone's would not really have to be reworked, as they could simply add a new command, where when its executed along with an integer as radius value, would store all the locations inside of the most suitable collection type, then checking if they did not place a tent in those locations. Or use rtree I guess

    Or simply use the WorldEdit API, and save areas inside a hashmap with a String to represent the name of the town as a Key, and the area as value :stuck_out_tongue:

    Sorry for not using dots, and being horrible in English :grinning:

    Why do they need a rework?
    Tents definitely needs a rework, so does many items in the game. I believe the reason why they aren’t used is because you cannot place them in towns where most of the fights and drama takes action.

    How do we resolve this?
    Well I believe if we make the blocks from the tents breakable and then allowing them to be placed in towns I think there will be a higher usage, especially during fights when you need something thing to stand behind or just simply store trash in a chest, otherwise I believe they’re fine.
