So this is a few of my ideas and some questions I have to ask, hope you take them under consideration.

1. Ping Command
I know this can be done in command prompt or the server list, but some people prefer to do it in-game as it is faster, and it can (possibly) tell other players ping so you know whether they have an advantage or not.

2. Duel Start Sound
I do a lot of 2v2's with my friend, and sometimes I switch to another window such as a social networking site and I say 'tell me when the game's starting' to my mate, they can forget this as I have seen several times before and when a game starts if a simple sound such as a ping when a bow shoots occurs then it can tell the player that the game is starting, which can allow them to switch to minecraft and start PvPing.

3. Different UHC Gamemodes
As a Reddit UHC player, I can tell you that this makes game twenty times more fun as it adds a twist to it rather than it being the simple FFA/to2/to3/toX, you can add gamemodes such as Barebones, CutClean, Rewarding Longshots, BestPvE, etc. Please search these up on reddit if you do not know what they are. I guarantee that this will make UHC games more fun, I am not saying that the current ones are not fun, but this can improve it and spice it up.

4. Health Under Names
As most people know, in a UHC game such as BadlionUHC or RedditUHC, it displays the players health under their name (unless a certain gamemode is specified where it is not) and this feature is not available in UHC 1v1's. To make the UHC 1v1's more 'uhc-like', adding health under names can do this.

5. Placing/Breaking Blocks in UHC 1v1's
I know this removes the clean UHC pvp aspect in 1v1's, but giving a few blocks and a pickaxe to break only those blocks will allow players to build a small defence out of around 16 blocks, no more, no less (allowing the server not to lag when it automatically cleans up after the match), which can simulate a typical UHC fight better.

6. EU Ranked SG
There is currently one Ranked SG (which I believe is an NA server) and an EU server would make the players located in Europe able to play with better ping rather than NA players able to play unfairly against us EU players playing on NA Ranked SG.

7. Start-Duel Damage Prevention
I play a LOT of duels, and a large amount of these tend to be UHC 1v1's, as a lot of players know, you can take damage right at the start of the game in certain maps or if you were moving in a certain way before the match starts, this annoys a lot of people including myself as we all know half a heart can be essential in a UHC 1v1. Making a fix for this would be great.

8. Auto-mute
Obviously, muting and banning is a moderators job, but this can make life a lot easier for them as they take on the reports submitted to them. Saying things like 'kys' (Perma-Mute), eZ (temp mute for Bad Sportsmanship), etc should be an auto mute, a Moderator may not be on and players may be deeply offended when these words are said to them.

9. Friend System
Doing /friend can open up a cool GUI with all your online friend or a chat message which tells you the possible friends commands. This can be useful if you want to get into a party with your friends quicker, or just know if they are online and what they are doing.

Thanks for reading my ideas/suggestions ^-^ if you do not like a certain one(s), please reply with the number and say badneZ or -1. Rating out of 10 for each number will be appreciated :D

@Archybot @MasterGberry (I think these are the right people to tag for the ideas)

1. This has been suggested before and has been proven a bad idea. /ping is extremely inaccurate and if you really want to check your ping that bad, you can just log out and check.
2. This could work. I'd be interested to see how.
3.
4. Health under names takes away some of the mystery when fighting people and kinda takes away some of the pvp aspect. THis has been suggested in the past.
5. No. This would cause a lot of lag because the maps would have to reset every fight and regenerate.
6. If SG continues to grow, im sure this'll happen.
7. It's pvp. You join a match and can start hitting whenever. It should be like that.
8. Automute already exists. There's a filter in place as well. If the filter is bypassed, they get muted.
9. Friends would be pretty cool

+1 to all these. Some of these ideas they're aware about/are going to do them.

However with EU Ranked SG, no one really plays Ranked SG so kind of pointless.

1. People will just whine more about ping than that they already do. -1
2. Very needed. Just a little noteblock sound when you get into a game. +1
3.
4. Would indeed make it feel more like UHC. Not sure whether is is easily possible without adding lag. +1 for the concept though
5.
6. I'd love EU ranked SG, but it's not popular enough yet
7. Usually your opponent takes half a heart of damage too then. It's just a tiny bug. I guess +1 on fixing it, but not important
8. I'd love it if player would be auto-muted if they said 'e z' for example (so they were already evading a filter, because they put a space between the e and the z). Or 'r3kt'. Just throw an automatic 1 hour mute on it.

Stole the friend thing from me but whateves

+1 on #2 and #9

Maybe that's why people don't play it -.- Because it's NA and not EU

1. Will never be added - would be inaccurate and give people something to complain and/or harass people over.
2. This existed in PotPvP 2.0 and somehow got lost in 3.0, I'll look to getting it in the PotPvP patch that is coming out with Season 8. @SmellyPenguin go and add it back
3. Being added, I think the first one that is being added is Ender Dragon rush, asking @sluttycow would be the correct person to forward suggestions to so he can forward them to the developers.
4. Interesting concept, let me ask Gberry if this can be added for our new UHC ladder (we will have 2 UHC ladders next season)
5. No to breaking/placing blocks (except water/lava), this would require us to make a lot of new UHC only maps, and isn't in the forseeable future. However, we are programming a "End of Match" UHC simulator event for PotPvP, which will have breaking blocks as the map will be created for features like that.
6. Our ranked SG server is our lowest server, so splitting the player base would hurt it worse. If there is enough requests for this we'll add it though.
7. Will be added in the Season 8 patch.
8. Automute already exists, a lot of people just bypass it though.
9. Soon, with clan system too.

2. It's in season 8

3. Probably after automated UHCs

7. It's in season 8

1. /ping was brought up multiple times, and as we've said before; it's just another command to come up with an excuse when players lose. "You have god ping!"

2. Good idea, hopefully we can ask if this could be added into Season 8.

3. Archy stated that this will be added.

4. I've played multiple vanilla UHCs before, and I agree with your suggestion about this being added. It adds more of a "UHC-environment" and hopefully Archy/GBerry will add it!

5. Lag would be a MAJOR problem with this (ex. lava, water, etc.)

6. I agree with Archy about the community not being big enough at this point. Once the community grows and the playerbase increases along with the copious "requests" of it, I'm sure that GBerry and Archy will definitely consider adding it. Otherwise, great idea.

7. A bug that is sorta known, but again; hopefully fixed in Season 8 haha

8. Archy said above that it was already implemented, which it is. Again, players bypass it which allows us to do more chat moderation.

All ideas seem good to me +1 for all :)
