Denied [Main City Server Suggestion] Trial Star Tool Kits

+1 yaas

 

If this does happen, make them the normal diamond tools with lowered duribility, not wooden tools since they can’t mine ores then.

 

Couldn't you just erep it then?

 

You can erep Wood too

Interesting idea in theory, not feasible in practice.
The problem is that it doesn't prevent trading at all.

Curse of Vanishing only triggers upon death and has no effect on throwing the tool.
Curse of Binding only applies to equipped items, i.e. items in armor slots. You can still remove CoB items from your normal inventory and drop them or place them in chests like normal items.
(Fun fact: It's even possible to remove CoB items from armor slots given specific conditions.)

To make those tools non-tradeable, the server would have to ensure they are automatically removed when exiting the inventory, which includes both normal methods like dropping, moving to chests, ..., as well as special methods like /auc, /trade, ...

 

I do not see why it shouldn't be tradable, or why it needs to disappear when you die or throw the tool, as it would be SO inconvenient to use long term, if it were a wooden pick.

 

I'm frankly confused as to the need for them to be not tradable. Surely it wouldn't matter, as it IS a wooden pick, and everyone would have access to them once.

 

Would something that everyone has access to add to the economy in any way? Or would it be like kit starter stuff?

 

How about just renting? I see many advertised on trade.

If people really want to test out star tools, they can rent them for a couple K. Heck people like koko would probably just let them use it for a few mins free! As interesting as this is, it’s completely unneeded. -1

 

-1 rent it

 

-1 you can rent tools if you want a trial. Many people rent their tools. It isn't worth soending time to make this

 

Here’s the problem I see:

- If you use diamond tools, then people could repair them (or auto repair them) for a full star tool.

- If you use wooden tools, it wouldn’t be considered a good trial tool since, for example, wooden pickaxes can only mine coal (and maybe lapis but I don’t remember). It cannot mine diamond, emerald, gold, iron, or red stone. This is the same with leather armor as even with all the enchants, leather armor sucks at protection and wouldn’t be good as a quality trial.

- Star tools like the rod, trident, elytra, and shield do not have a lower tier crafting recipe and therefore cannot have a good trial version as suggested.


TL;DR even if Andrew does like this idea, I cannot see how this could be implemented to a quality standard. The only way I can see is if they cannot be repaired or traded, but that would require a crap ton of recoding that I’m sure Andrew and Super would not want to do.
