    I had an idea for a game mode, I'm not sure how easy to code it would be, but the basic idea is that all the players are in an area about the size of the Dead End arena. You have a few seconds, then gravel blocks start to fall from the sky. They increase in number. If they hit you, now here is the part that may be impossible to code, you will take five hearts. Then you can step out of the gravel.

    Soon, the entire arena will be covered with gravel and it will continue to fall faster and faster. Then you must stand on blocks of gravel that have already fallen. The last man standing wins. There is a 2 minute time limit and after 1 minute, sand blocks will fall that insta-kill you. By the end, normally, the last player will be standing on an arena buried in several blocks thick of gravel. The gravel falling is random, so some places may be untouched at the end and some may have a tower of gravel.

    I really like this idea.
    Also (don't take my word for this because I have like next to no knowledge of coding) but I have a few friends who are pretty good coders and I have seen them make things that would be similar to the way this game would work.

    Thank you for the feedback. I want the arena to be about 30x30 blocks and the rate of fall for the gravel should start off slow. About 45 blocks a second to start with, that fills up the entire arena in around 20 seconds. Sand falls at the same rate as gravel, it just doesn't start until the 1:00 mark. Then I think that by the end it might be falling at around 180 blocks per second with covers the arena in gravel every five seconds. Is that possible to code?

    Also, it is possible to make any block fall, it just needs to be given the 'Sand Effect'.

    Great! Then it doesn't need to be sand or gravel. It could be something prettier. Like emerald :smile:

    daniellazer2902 is talking about the game called Anvil. This game is played on the McPvP stream, and has been implemented into many different servers.

    The way the game works
    - You look straight upward the entire time.
    - you move between the falling anvils.
    - The anvil rate slowly increases
    This is a great idea, however will the gameplay be based on skill? Like will you run around and hope you don't get a block on your head? Or will the gameplay be more like anvil where you look up and make small controlled motions to avoid the blocks?

    I got this. You want something like this? If so, YAY. IT can be falling blocks below you, or above you. You could use anvils also.

    My only problem with this game is the lag it will cause.

    With an arena the size of Dead End and Spleef it would be literally impossible to load chunks that fast.

    My suggestion is make it so you can't jump over the gravel so you are forced to navigate them (you can touch them obviously) and if a gravel block hits you you automatically die. Easier to code and faster of a game.

    There are a lot of things you have to look at before just throwing together a code and calling it a game hahaha.


    That is a game made from a redstone circuit. This has to be made from coding because the games have to reset and maps have to be remade. Would be too hard to just manually reset it every time.

    This'd be pretty hard to code (From my past experience) but all in all I like this idea a lot, Skul :smile:

    I like this idea a lot, but as others said, It'd be real hard to code. But, they'll find a way. :wink:

    Why not use anvils instead? They already fall and make you lose hearts. Just drop them from whatever height leaves you with 5 hearts.

    I was not suggesting redstone. I was meerly suggesting the idea of the falling blocks, and you have to survive. MC-War automatically resets maps every time the game ends. I know this because of the glass panes. Even the spawn auto resets I think.

    I would like anvils too as V said instead of sand.

    It's raining blocks, haleluja !

    Ontopic, very good/ unique idea. Maybe anvils as stated above. Those do damag when falling on its own so not much coding..
