This suggestion proposes four new modes for Tumble listed above. Adding these modes would greatly increase variety and excitement to Tumble. The four modes are described below:
Bow
Type: Ranged
Blockbreaker: Bow and Arrow
Arena Type: Single-layer
Arena Area Size: 66% smaller than normal Shovels arena
This mode is likely what you've guessed: break blocks by shooting them with bows. Melee blockbreaking is disabled. No special mechanics are added in Showdown.
Bottles
Type: Ranged
Blockbreaker: Water Bottles
Arena Type: Single-layer
Arena Area Size: 75% smaller than normal Shovels arena
In this mode, the player breaks blocks with water bottles. Melee blockbreaking is disabled. In Showdown, a bottle has a 15% chance to give Nausea or Slowness for 3 seconds.
Topple
Type: ???
Blockbreaker: N/A (Handheld Item: Iron Hoe)
Arena Type: Single-layer
Arena Area Size: 9 blocks p/player
Other: Arena theme cannot have magma, player has 5 hearts
This mode acts as a sort of "anti-spleef." Hitting the top of a solid block will cause a block of magma that is affected by gravity to spawn 5 blocks over it. Once it falls on a block, it will turn into a new block based on the arena's theme. Touching magma will do 2.5 hearts of damage (it takes 10 seconds to regenerate .5 hearts). Going 5+ blocks above the highest point of the initial arena will have your health bar turn grey for 3 seconds, with a one-time notification that says, "You're too high up!" If you don't leave this zone in the 3 seconds provided, you will be inflicted with the Wither status effect until you do so. In Showdown, no special mechanics are added.
Jackpot
Type: Melee
Blockbreaker: Iron Shovel
Arena Type: Special double-layer
Arena Size: Identical to Shovels
Other: Each round is 5 minutes, Showdown occurs at 4 minutes by default
The arena theme is important in Jackpot mode. 1. There are only three block types, 2. Each block has a fixed rarity (50%, 35%, 15%), and 3. The blocks are evenly distributed in the map. Breaking blocks gives points (Common: 1, Semi-common: 3, Uncommon: 10), and the goal is to gain the most points. If you die, you'll instantly respawn, unable to fall but also unable to break blocks for 3 seconds. If 50% of the arena is gone, Showdown automatically starts.
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Console Battle is two games rolled into one: gambling (whether or not you get one of the OP weapons) and betting (which teammate won't turn on you, since teaming is pretty much a requirement to kill off another team)! Of course, it's not all chance; at its core, Battle is about triumphing and defeating other players... by kicking them out if they win to make yourself feel better.
