    What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for:
    Main City Server​
    Short title for your suggestion:
    Temporary Lava Protection for newcomers​
    What are you suggesting:
    New players usually die in lava and lose their stuff, some of them ragequits. What am i suggesting is;

    a) a few fire resist potions can be added to /kit starter
    b) or better is; a temporary fire resist effect for 24h in their first day. But this can create some confusion and they can die after 24h as they may think it is something permanent.

    So as an alternative solution to this; a warning message can be shown to them whenever they contact with lava. like "your free lava protection will expire in 23h 15m" etc.    ​
    Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?:
    It may help to keep more newcomers and decrease some drama in global :)​
    Other information:
    none​
    Plugin or custom addition:
    -​
    One suggestion per form:
    I Understand.​

    +1 to including fire resist potions in kit starter, it would help them out a lot, in my opinion, and save a few builders's days
    Maybe not the fire invincibility, however, as having fire protection suddenly disappear, especially if they're offline when it happens, will confuse them a lot, as they may not realize the timer continues even as they're offline.

    I'm all for making builders lives easier where we can, but that should really only extend to aspects of gameplay unique to ECC.

    This is minecraft 101. Lava is dangerous.

    I've been on and off staff for years and I've personally never dealt with or heard of a case of PvP killing where the victim has spent less than a day on ECC - Hell, players like that involved in PvP killing incidents were almost always the preparators, not victims. Nor is it like anyone who has any semblance of creativity can't find ways to kill people that don't involve lava. I simply don't see the point in creating a custom addition to ECC that won't even stop 99% of PvP killing, especially when it hurts our appeal as a hardcore economy/survival server.
