(This gametype was originally suggested by @iGR in April, 2015. I wanted to remake the suggestion as it seemed to get a lot of positive feedback.)
Shiver me pixels is obviously a pirate themed game. It's a competitive gamemode in which players have to fight to stay alive, collect and bury their own treasure.
Spawning location:
There is one big floating island with multiple chests hidden beneath it's sandy surface, (these chests have higher chance of containing emeralds) surrounded by 8 smaller islands - these smaller islands are the initial spawn points for players. Each player starts off with their own island. On the players island there is a double chest with a sign above it saying "bury me!" - the players job is to try their best to protect their chest by burying it under blocks they can purchase from the Captain. There will be 2 minutes of invincibility to allow each pirate to have a good chance at looking for their treasure/burying their chest. Singular treasure chests hidden below the sand will refill regularly, every 2 - 4 minutes.
Spawning items (kits - these are entirely up to change or removal);
Gold miner:
x1 Unbreaking Wooden shovel
x1 Unbreaking Leather leggings and chestplate
Raider:
x1 Unbreaking Stone shovel
x1 Unbreaking Chain helmet and leggings
Tracker:
x1 Unbreaking Wooden shovel
x1 Unbreaking Leather helmet and chestplate
x1 Compass (used to see the direction of treasure on your island.)
(You can obtain kits by either; reaching a certain level, using coins, if goodie bags are released maybe you can find them through that.)
Maps:
While I don't have any examples of maps (I can't build) they'll have to be relatively large, and the islands should be about 45+ metres away from each other. The islands will be floating (@Nerdehhh suggested that instead of floating islands, they could just be islands surrounded by water - entering the water will deal damage, as pirates can't swim!)
Player limit:
There will be a limit of 8 players, at least 6 for the game to actually start.
Time limit:
The game will last for about 15 minutes - if after this time, the remaining players will draw.
Captain:
An NPC that allows you to Right-click him (opening a chest sort of GUI) and trade treasure for goodies. These goodies can help you break blocks faster, as well as attack your enemies with powerful strikes. The Captain expects you to pay certain expense before the trade.
The Captain also sells Island upgrades, which allow you to have luckier treasure chests (higher chance to obtain more amounts of gold, iron and diamonds at your own island), or even add traps!
Objective of the game:
You must use your starter shovel to dig through the sand below your aching feet, in order to find buried treasure! The treasure will consist of items such as iron bars, gold bars, gold nuggets, diamonds and sticks to craft pirate tools with. Some examples of pirate tools are;
I may add more at a later date if I think of anything new that could be added.
Please comment any feedback you have/any ideas you think can improve this suggestion.

- Sixth sense; a map appears in your hotbar when a player has stepped near your treasure, alerting you (or) a message appears in your chat when a player has stepped near your treasure (costs 4 emeralds - have to repurchase after use.)

With use of the tools, you can either protect your double treasure chest, or voyage to other islands in hopes of finding buried treasure! Beware, as other Pirates are on the look out and may find your hidden treasure. (Players have infinite amount of lives until their chest has been looted.)
To loot a players treasure chest, you have to open the chest and take the diamond block, once the diamond block has been removed from the chest, the owner of that treasure will become vulnerable, and only has one life left.
