Creative Crates and Upgrades
An Idea We've Been Waiting For
Manacube Creative has been left in the dust for a while when it comes to bugfixes, crates, and upgrades. The Creative players have spoken and are done with worldedit bugs and glitches. And so, I have a solution; have Manacube Creative generate money so it is a priority for bug fixes. Meaning that time spent debugging is not a waste of money. Here are my ideas:An Idea We've Been Waiting For
Crates
Crates in Creative would spice up chat by introducing new tags and chat colors and tempt non-ranks to buy these to become noticed.
Tags that you can achieve with mana such as [$Rich$] by reaching 1k mana, and [Nation] for claiming 50 plots (which cost mana). Tags that can be won in crates such as [XFailing], [Overachiever] and [Average] (which allude to grades). Chat colors may be rewarded in these crates as the basic colors besides orange since A+ is rewarded that. The crate chat colors may include rarer mixed chats such as White/Grey (This is an example), Orange/Yellow (This is an example), and Blue/Purple (This is an example). As to not make chat too colorful, these can be omitted.
Another addition to these crates would be mana prizes and plot prizes. Similar to claim and money prizes in other gamemodes. Depending on the price of the key, the amount of mana given might vary. The same can be said with the amount of plots since they also depend on mana.
To add on to that crates can also give commands for players to use as well. Examples might include perm /vanish, World Edit, Voxel Sniper, ArtMap, and /nc. These should be rare as if they were too common, they would take away the purpose of having grades.
Some extra things to include: Unlocking pets and disguises, temp commands, and temp join messages.
Upgrades and Fixes
Upgrades people! Upgrades! Creative has been upgraded, but a lot of things either broke or were missing. Here's a few suggestions.
Remove build battle completely. New members tend to ask about it. Its forgotten about and we need to either revamp it or toss it. On the same note about new members, every single one asks how to get a plot. If you take a look, the information when you /spawn is RIGHT ABOVE YOU. I must say it is very bad placement as no one can see it.
Concerning commands that people should be able to do, people should be able to mute shouts by /mshout or any other command. People should also get a warning message by the console when they try to /mana pay to a person that doesn't exist.
This is where we go down the list...
World Edit - The brushes are always off center. You must fly around and not move your mouse instead of staying still and moving your mouse to paint something. This goes for all brushes across all mods
Reactions - The scrambler says 1 mana, most of the time it doesn't even give you that. The wiki says its a feature; its not. Also, the featherboard (the thing on the right) does not count your scramblers.
/plot download - PEOPLE WANT TO SAVE THEIR PLOTS. It has been a long issue. People want their plots to be rendered also. Please please please fix this.
People lagging - This takes some explanation. People are reportedly using /clipboard to cause server wide lag.
The Portals at Spawn - The grade portals at spawn don't work.
Shop - When you hover your mouse over the plots option in /shop, it says you can buy as many plots as you wish. When you click the option into the interface, it says you can own 150 plots.
/lore - it says that VIP+ and up can /lore an item. As it turns it it says "Sorry you don't have permission for that material" for every block and item. Also, there is a comma between Sorry and you.
/Banner - It used to work, but now the command does nothing. No error message or anything
/rules - It is outdated. If you hover over the repeater in the UI, it redirects to http://minevast.com. That is outdated.
/Gadgets - Does nothing; no error message.
/glow - On the store it says I can. The command does nothing and the error is "Unknown command. Type "/help" for help.
/balloons - On the store it says I can. The command does nothing and the error is "Unknown command. Type "/help" for help.
All Vehicles - You can open up the UI to select from cars, brooms, ect but you cannot summon them.

Conclusion
In the end, people have been begging for Creative's bugs to be fixed. If a reason is given for why to bug fix Creative, (ie crates), then the server wouldn't be a waste to have a dev work on it. If you have any more suggestions, please reply below.
