I've been doing a lot of mob hunt lately. Here are some things i've noticed and would like to point out.
-Leader-boards
-Achievements
-Teams
-Power-Ups
-Flying
-Legendary Announcements
-Hostile Mobs
-Loot Crates

Leader Boards
it's kind of annoying asking your competitors "how many points do you have?". That's why i suggest a leader board! it's just simple and you can always check up on it.

Achievements
i''ve seen many people ask "do you get anything once you've collected one of every mob?". what if there were achievements? here are a couple i thought of.
-Pest Control: banish x amount of silver fish
-Mob Boss: banish one of every single kind of mob.
-What a Legend!: banish x amount of legendaries.
-It's the eye of the Spider: banish x amount of spiders.
-Spooky Scary Skeletons: banish x amount of skeletons.
Do You Even Have a Life?: banish x amount of every mob.
-The Last Laugh (or) I Can't Believe You've Done This: at the last second steal another persons mob they were about to hit.

with achievements you'd need a way to view them. this leads to two options (that i could think of). you could have an item in the user's hot-bar. for this we'll just go with a beacon. you'd right click it and it'd show the achievements and your progress on them. the second thing is you could have it in the wand. right click the wand and select the beacon in there. i think both work equally well.

Teams
i think it would be a lot of fun hanging out with a group of your friends collecting points. the teams wouldn't be too big. i was thinking 1-5 maybe. people may not know that there are teams. here are some ideas to let people know about teams.

-Notifications in chat. just like the ones advertising the pz discord, forums, and Instagram.
-Book: if you log onto hypixel during a sale, or event a book will appear on your screen telling you about it. pz could have the same thing but telling about how mob hunt works. or how mineplex has a thing in their lobby that shows you around mineplex.

i'm not sure how prizes would work with teams, sadly.

Power-Ups

just like legendaries, this would be a rare thing. power-ups can spawn through-out the map. power-ups can include:
-Speed
-Night Vision
-Jump boost
-Bow and air
-Freeze (can freeze all players for a short period of time)
-Magnet (all nearby mobs are drawn to the player)
-Slowness (given to all players except the person who collected the power-up)
-Blindness (given to all players except the person who collected the power-up)

speed, night vision, and jump boost could last up to a minute long.
the bow and arrow can last up to 15 shots.
magnet lasts for 15 seconds
slowness and blindness last up to 30 seconds

Flying

i played on my alt (which is a default). you can't fly. almost everyone else can fly. it's highly unfair for defaults because they have to double jump and walk while ranked players just zoom around. i swear, i turn one direction and see a mob and a ranked player just flies past me at the speed of light and gets it. don't get me started on whenever a legendary spawned. they'd take to the skies and find it so fast. countless times i was the first one there, but they just flew past me making a mad dash for the blaze and took it.

at least make it a thing for the events. i won't be using my alt for events unless i can't help it. it's torture.

Legendary Announcements

it announces whenever a legendary spawns, but not when it's caught. at least make it to where it says when it's caught and who caught it so we can all hate that person for taking it.

Hostile Mobs

this could be a special game-mode for mob hunt. it would be so much fun if the mobs fought back. maybe it could take multiple hits to kill them. of course they'd give more points.

Loot Crates

these could be rare. they can drop points, and better weapons/gear (if hostile mobs were added). they can drop snowballs, when thrown, give the player impacted with slowness or blindness. or even both. they can drop a lot more, but i know you guys in insights love to create your own ideas, so have fun with it!


Thanks for reading it's going on midnight and im tired so im sorry for any spelling/grammar mistakes.

i 100% support this! i'm thinking for teams there should be separate prizes, so solos and teams are separated into different leaderboards and in turn get different prizes
 
all i want is to find the guy who stole my legendary tbh
 
that's fair. i wish you the best on your quest.
i found the guy, it was Shadow :mad:

also just so i don't get slammed for being off topic, how would the server know if you got the Last Laugh achievement because afaik it can't detect when you steal someone's mob

shadow stole two of my legendaries smh

i thought about that too, but idk anything about coding. maybe it's possible? i have no clue if it is or not.

I don't know anything about redstone and command blocks, so I am probably wrong, but it might be possible to detect how close you are to a person. They could make it so if you're in a few block radius (like 2 or 3) and get a mob, you get the achievement.
