Disclaimer: Please note that any suggestion is merely a spoken thought to discuss with others. Any said suggestion could be a potential candidate for being implemented. Lastly, said suggestion could and will most likely have flaws and setbacks in the process.
Throughout my casual playing on the server, it has come to mind with a variety of ideas. These ideas are meant to be discussed with anyone, regardless of their potential. Said ideas might have already been mentioned before, but I have not taken the time to read through dozens of threads to find the answer to that; therefore, I am retelling the possible suggestions that have been said myself. There is no proper order, so read as you please.
Discord Server:
- A plugin/integration that will allow offline users to see who is on the Simplex server via a Discord channel
- A plugin/integration that will allow users to have their in-game rank sync to a Discord role
Kits:
A starter kit that will consist of Wood or Stone Tools (Sword, Pickaxe, Shovel, Axe, Hoe), Leather Armor (Helmet, Chestplate, Leggings, Boots), and Bread (64x). I read in the Getting Started handbook (Page 2 of 11) under the label "Useful Commands" that there is a command for "/kit tools" and believe it should be reimplemented. Though this could just be the old command for the current "/kit claim."
Spawn:
- Revamp the current spawn. This revamp could consist of more aesthetics, new accessibility for holiday decorations without interruption to the overall spawn, and more secrets with potential mini-satisfaction rewards.
VoteRoulette:
- Addition of more voting websites to help give the server more attention plus more rewards to the voter.
- Addition of more vote ranks.
- These suggestions have a variety of issues in themselves that require in-depth discussion for better clarification.
Warps:
- Create a warp for "The Collection."
- Rework PvP. mini-game (Spleef), and event warps into a hub. This will allow less /warps to be used to be saved for the more important ones.
- Create a Netherworld hub for quicker access to the Nether, similar to /warp end.
While these are a few suggestions, I may consider updating said thread over time for new ideas. I appreciate you taking the time to read this and would like to hear your thoughts in the replies below or on the Simplex Discord server. Have a wonderful day/night!
P.s. I am well aware of the quote "If it anit broke, don't fix it." |

P.s. I am well aware of the quote "If it anit broke, don't fix it." Witheredness comes with some solid ideas. To add my two cents to the conversation: Kits:I do not think adding kits that would provide wooden or stone tools and 'starter armour' to newly joined players would be beneficial to the server. After all, Simplex is semi-vanilla; adding unnecessary things that take away from the core of gameplay is not something we should strive for. This is why warps are kept to a minimum and other features, such as keep inventory, are not added. Part of the charm of Simplex is having to grind for tools and armour in the beginning. There are a handful of players (such as Zanril) that already provide armour and tools to Starters as soon as they join. Spawn:I think the current spawn area is alright but it has a lot of opportunity for growth. I would be interested in seeing a remodelled spawn, with other block choices than spruce wood. I think making the random wild teleport pad more visible and clear to Starters should be a priority. There have been numerous times when I've been online and a Starter does not know where to go from the initial spawning location. VoteRoulette:I think the current system of voting websites is alright; I do not particularly see the need to increase the number of voting websites available to Simplex players. The core of the problem, I believe, lies in the fact that once players reach God rank (500 votes), there is little incentive left to continue voting. Something that could be worth considering would be a small weekly reward for voting 7 days in a row. I know God+ has been discussed many times throughout Simplex's history. Possibly players could get extra rewards or a special rank with the addition of every 500 votes (for example, at 1000 votes, at 1500 votes, at 2000 votes, etcetera). Warps:I am going to briefly comment on the warps. I know it's a controversial topic for many long-time players on Simplex on what should and what shouldn't be added as a warp. What I do believe in is that everything beneficial to the community as a whole should be fairly considered for the possibility of a warp, without bias. I would not be against a /warp nether or a /warp event hub area. But that would also mean that other player-run areas (including the Pixel Arcade from Mauhulakh, The Collection, and the marketplace) should be considered equally. Once you open the door to more warps, it's indeed harder to say no to more warps being added. - AquariusBlue

Hey there, responding to this so ya don't feel like we ignoring these so I'll give you some info that we have on some of these and give you my thoughts on others that have not been brought up (or were brought up a long time ago when I was not staff that I would now know the answer to). Discord Server:
-A plugin/integration that will allow offline users to see who is on the Simplex server via a Discord channel
-A plugin/integration that will allow users to have their in-game rank sync to a Discord roles.
These 2 we have not discussed at all during my time as staff. For these 2 points I know that there is a way, but it is a bit complex and we don't really see it as a necessity. Personally, I've played on servers that have had this and it ended up making me feel like their discord was just too cluttered. As a new player I did not know what all the different colors meant and it could get a bit confusing when trying to talk with actual staff since it was not just 1 party vs another party (we currently have staff vs players). If the in-game roles were added to discord it would be 1 party v 1 party v 1 party v 1 party v etc (12 ranks (not counting god ranks) + staff, meaning you would need to know all 13 parties involved with ranks in the discord). In my opinion this is a survival server not a, lets get you started by having you skip the first 2 minuets of game play server. I do believe that "kit tools" is the old name of "kit claim" but we did also have an old "start" kit that would give you a full set of wooden tools and some bread upon first joining. This broke one day and when it was finally fixed we decided to not add the wooden tools and bread back. The leather armor and stone tools I think is too much but I think I might put in a request for the wooden tools and starter bread to come back when your first join the server. We currently already have a new(er) and redesigned spawn built. It is not 100% that it will be added anytime soon though as we are needing to find the time to implement it into our current world. More voting sites means players can vote more often, which means we would need to rebalance the reward and the rank milestones to better reflect how quickly you can vote with more sites. We are currently discussing more incentives for players to vote after they reach 500, but thats all I can say on that for now. I have suggested a few voting/rank changes myself such as changing Master rank to &c, Adding a netherite ingot at 500 votes, and allowing players to "reset" their votes to change the color of their name in the god room (like 1st reset you would have &8, 2nd reset you would have &7, 3rd you would have &e, and so on all the way up to &a for 12 times reset). (Though I removed that last one from our discord for now cause I did not like it that much, but lmk what you think about it). -If I'm remembering correctly HelloKat, the player that owns the collection currently, has stated multiple times that they don't want the collection to have a warp, but she can correct me if I am wrong. -As I've told you before I'm currently thinking about having the event hub area (which we already have @/warp event) out of spawn and to the event pad #5 area to get rid of the 2 teleport pads. This would not get rid of the 3 event warps. Unlike all the other warps which are static, the event warps move and can be requested by any player who wants to host an event (players just need to join the simplex events discord and find their way to the #warp-event-request and follow the requirements/guidelines in order to get one. We split it into 3 warps so that multiple events can go on at one time and it would not feel like one person is "monopolizing" the event warp all the time. -Both the pvp and spleef warp are used on a regular basis and they serve different purposes despite both tech being "pvp arenas", one just allows you to die inside of it. These are both warps we've had for a long time and I personally don't think that "get rid of them so other warps could be added" is a good enough reason for them to be combined along with the event hub all into one area. -Netherworld hub. With the current "nether hub" that we have it is currently super inactive with claims everywhere made by old players, nothing much we can do here as we don't really remove old players claims. We have talked about that if we ever had to reset the world again, that we would create a protected area in the nether similar to the spawn protected area and possibly create a portal or 2 there to get up onto the roof/main nether area.
Anyways feel free to keep discussing and adding suggestions. |
