so first suggestion:
make a page for general rules for the different competitons like:
(made up dimensions idk how big stuff should be)
Racing Competitions:
Arena Sizes: 20x40 or 50x120
best layout: Flat land, well lit
Good lap times for (insert swiftness here):
10s-15 seconds
20s-10 seconds
ect.
Jumping Competitions:
Arena Sizes: 30x30 or 30x60
best layout: Flat, well lit
Good jumping heights for agility:
10a- 2 blocks
20a-4 blocks
ect.
stuff like that. just some different ideas. i dont really participate in competitons so im not sure what else to add to this list but im sure others would have more input.
second suggestion:
1.13 has a new mob called a phantom which only attacks if players havent slept in awhile. so a plugin that allows people to sleep whenever would be needed otherwise it could get very annoying very fast. the phantoms can go under water as well so there isnt really an escape from them.
It wasn’t like rules that would have to be followed more like general guidelines for people wanting competition sized arenas so the info can be available to all. I noticed sometimes there isn’t someone online to give good advice on competitions all the time this would be a good resource for people to look at. And I know all about what needs to be done for the plugins and such. All caught up on that info
Hey Cloud, thanks for the suggestions! I like where you're going, but I don't think we would make arena sizes and such "rules." Though, it's a great idea to have them as a recommendation! I can see how that might help someone new decide how to create their arenas and host competitions. I will definitely bring this up to staff, and maybe we will release something like that here on the website along with 3.0! As for the phantoms, I'm not even sure if we'll be updating to 1.13 because of a lot of reasons. We have to wait for our plugins to all be updated anyways, but another thing making us hesitant is the 1.13 horse models. To put it lightly...we aren't the biggest fan of those lol. However, if we do, a sleeping plugin would be a great idea!
But besides that, I really do like this idea!
I love the idea of having arena suggestions and jump height suggestions! The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is an arena size rule. I know we have all worked hard to create our arenas and it would be a shame if we had to re-do them. Also, having a certain arena size might scare off new players from hosting competitions. A lot of people will probably disagree with me, but I've always liked how you can do whatever you want with your arenas on rnc, while not having to worry about certain regulations.
