Ideas For What Could Be Done If The Ct Someday Decide To Upgrade Past 1.12

Disclaimer: I know the concept of having the server update is done to death and will likely never happen, let's not have a huge debate over it in the comments. This is merely some suggestions for what the CT can add if they ever do.
The idea of a 1.13+ Wynn has been on a lot of people's minds recently. The reason the CT will likely never go there is because of the overhaul Mojang decided to do with commands, which I have always kind of hated. Plus horses in texture packs are somewhat broken now. But hey, it'd be fun to speculate and suggest ideas for what the CT could do after something like that.

Spoiler: Ocean overhaul

The 1.13 update gave us so many new things in the ocean. The CT would have to revamp how underwater items like in the reef work but after that it would mostly be smooth sailing. Speaking of sailing, I'd like to see boats get fixed as in my experience they are not worth using and just sink. You can go to a special boat shop in the middle of the ocean and get boats for an insane discount, sure, but in most places they cost something like 2 EB which is not worth a mostly glitchy form of transport that isn't even needed desperately as you can use seasail merchants and seaskipper to get across the sea almost immediately with the added bonus of occasional free stuff. There should perhaps be more use to the islands that you can take a boat to but not seaskip to. There could be new fish mobs and drowned zombies that can attack your boat, guardians could be found swimming around and attacking, it would add more to a mostly safe majority of the map.

Spoiler: Raid functionality could bring back swarms somewhat

Pillager raids have been added, and I guess you could alter them to feature powerful zombies among others instead. I guess ravagers could also appear as a hostile mob in Almuj as a rhino or something too. I don't know.

Spoiler: Phantom usage

Maybe phantoms could appear as some kind of mob in the silent expanse. They can also become really big so maybe there could be boss potential here.

Spoiler: Dernic armor (netherite)

I know this is very heavily requested but it would be cool if netherite was better than diamond and was called Dernic. Maybe it could also weaken dern-based attacks so that things like the Eye are slightly easier.

Spoiler: Some kind of use for tridents (Boomerang side weapon?)

Maybe they could make tridents into boomerangs and the loyalty enchantment makes them return? Or maybe they could just use them as a weapon for water mobs.

Spoiler: Beehives with hostile bees

Very useless because 1.15 was useless apart from its bugfixes but maybe this could make the little hives you find around the map have a challenge to them. For example, defeating a bee swarm will give you a special honey powder that varies depending on which swarm you take on and can only be obtained once a month. It slows down enemies it hits but you'll only have a few hundred uses before it wears off. That opens up a powder slot again if you want to instead use a powder but you can wait until your next honey powder. I don't know...

That's all I've come up with so far. I might come up with some more ideas later and add them but for now that's it.

 

"will likely never happen" - They will have to at some point I reckon, if that's years or months idk

"in most places they (boats) cost something like 2 EB" - Woah! That's going to make you bankrupt lol, whilst they cost more than the sesail merchant you only ever need to buy one so imo it's a fair price

"glitchy form of transport" - I agree boats sink in some versions I think


"They could alter villagers in some way to have special items for quests and collection by trading." - Not sure what you mean here, we already have that. Certain types of villagers for different types of shops?

"it would be cool if netherite was better than diamond and was called Dernic" - Why would anyone name a metal after a place? That would be like iron being called Americanic or Copper being called Russianic. I don't mind the idea of netherite being added but it seems a bit uneeded imo, we could just have different textures of leather in place of armour (although that would be a bit laggy) or just stronger diamond armour if we have post lvl 105 content introduced.

"Maybe they could make tridents...Or maybe they could just use them as a weapon for water mobs." - I think the game would definitely benefit from a new weapon being added, crossbow and trident could come into the game if it was updated

"Very useless because 1.15 was useless" - Sounds like you think 1.15 is useless XD


I do quite like some of these ideas and I did enjoy reading this; but there's not really much proper detail in these ideas. Just "add trident for water mobs and make it come back when throw it" or "add phantom and make it really big so it can be a boss", "pillager raids but with zombies". I like how you're taking real in game functions and applying them to Wynncraft and how it would be possible to integrate them into the game, which isn't a bad idea as it looks like you have a lot of ideas to how Wynn can improve!

Thank you for sharing this ;)

 

A few things:

This might be an issue because then they'd have to make it a cave which would increase the chances of players dying and this is kinda the quick cash grab for newer players or some older players but we have Breathing helms and 14k health so it doesn't really matter us drowning.

This isn't required as in command blocks in 1.12 (due to wynn running off a combo of 1.7 to 1.12 command blocks, that some staff talked about in a forum years ago) this could be set up without the need of the Raid system already. They just haven't done it yet.

Due to having custom NPCs, they can already do this too. Just like they did with all the merchants, the black smith and ID'er

Now this could be quite interesting to see. The boss would have to be able to operate underground and/or be sealed in via barrier blocks vest it fuck off into the far over and disappear from all mortal sight

I'm pretty sure, imo, this isn't needed. Considering all stats are custom for items they don't really need another armor tier to get what they want in terms of level, effect, etc. But I can understand the appeal.

Or keep the trident and make a javelin based class. This could be interesting to get deeper into.

The Forest outside Ragni has beehives already with cute custom sprites, go beat them to death. But your idea could once again be covered with the current set of command blocks and triggers.

To your main point of making this, and to focus on certain parts of it. I'm fairly sure they will avoid updating. Going back to the 1.7-1.12 command block set up. Since a lot of commands changed, how they functioned, ID's etc. All of the command blocks would need to be changed and they could only start AFTER they updated the server. Which means long... LONG periods of down time and/or data lost. There also is no guartnee that all the plugins/mods that affect the server's items (Why a Singularity, is a Singularity and not a stick might also bork everyone's gear due to item ID's the actually ID's like 0 being air and 12322198320 being nothing.)

However I have seem blocks like composters about and other 1.14+ blocks so I have no idea tbh.

Also you can fast travel all over the map for starting in Ragni.

 

The crafting materials found in Dern are Dernic (e.g., Dernic Fish).

Bees can be done using custom heads on invisible armor stands, if not with actual armor stand models. Detlas already has a bee hive (which I think is just some bee-textured items on armor stands that swirl around a hive-looking head attached to a tree).

 

Okay that's 100% fair enough, I just think it's a bit funny to name it after something tbh, like saying French fish. But it's in the game so I retract my critique, thanks for pointing that out

 

Don't forget, different villagers in different cities

 

Bruh
Of course they will update somewhere in the future

 

Lies

 

I'd say the one of the main reasons for not updating is because 1.13+ server performance is absolute trash and Mojang hasn't done anything to fix it. Probably not worth the effort.

 

For all those saying that villager profession incorporation would be more or less useless, I was tired when I wrote that and I new see that it was pointless. I'll remove it now.

 

To be fair, the amount of villager skins added in that update (with the different biomes ect.) could be used for making areas have unique villager textures.

 

It'd be cool, and I did think of suggesting a new trident class, but at the end of the day there is only 1 trident currently in minecraft and it's the only weapon that can support Loyalty, so I scrapped that idea. Maybe it could rely on trident durability levels?

I suppose so.

 

1.13+ = lag

 

Hopefully Mojang decides to stop with the stupid level of insane lag in 1.17 so we can actually use it without lag.
