Each month when the mining world is reset. Could a chest be placed with a quantity of diamonds, a star tool or some kind significant reward be placed at random some where in the wold. It would be a scavenger hunt to find it, and quite the reward to find it. There could be a forum thread that gives hints each week . I think that wold be fun and get people into the mining world. It could be placed at any place at any lvl.
-1 for two reasons: 1: It's way, way too easy to install a chestfinder or something to find it easily. 2: If you do find it legit, there's no risk involved, you just got really lucky and now have 1m+ assuming there are star tools in the chest. If all they put in the chest are minerals and gems it's a waste of time as you could just go mining as normal to get those things and get mining exp at the same time.
I remember this happening once or twice. Definitely wouldn't put star tools or anything but maybe like a couple stacks of dblocks (~50k). Also would like more 'rich' chests in nether and, in time, end. Actually foster a little bit of PvP anyway.
-1 to the star tool. Star tools are meant as a bonus for experienced players who have put a lot of time into ECC. Having a builder be able to /wild land and finding a star tool defeats the purpose. +1 to diamond blocks, nstars, spawn eggs, etc. Would be really fun.
Back when the mining world was implemented I would do scavengers hunts; of course, I was like 16 so I wasn't very good at it. The chests don't need to contain really valuable goodies, just maybe 10k worth of stuff at most. People will go looking for them even when it isn't very valuable. (if anything, making it too valuable invites cheaters)
No, that makes this 10x more of a hassle than this needs to be. Making a medal for finding a little tiny prize is just ridiculous, if you want a medal we have 30 different medals for accomplishing things and another 17 just for feature amounts... go buy exp or something.
Could have redeemable event tokens too, If people dont post and redeem em, doesnt matter, if they do, then no massive hassle. +1
-1 to the idea of star tools in the chest. +1 to the idea of nether stars, diamond blocks, spawn eggs, and other goodies in them.
