New things to make Lobbies even more fun to be in. #599

Feature request

Checklist

Platform

Both.

Describe the feature

I think that if lobbies were made fun/similar to the ones on Hypixel, would be wonderful. Some stuff like PvP, Parkour, collectibles, news, beautifying GUIs, and similar things will be extremely fun, but also making sure that it doesn't look like a copy, and stands out from the rest.

Now for the parts such as PvP, of course, there will be cheaters, and moderation will be a huge pain. Instead, how about using an anti-cheat such as NCP, which blocks actions directly instead of logging a player's violations instead of punishments? Would reduce the hassle of moderation, false bans, and reviewing appeals.

I'm myself very uncreative, but if you too feel like lobbies can/should be made more fun in unique ways, please don't hesitate to put your ideas down. This might turn into something very fun and exciting in the future.

How the feature is useful

Will encourage more players to spend time in lobbies, not really sure in what way this would benefit though.

Also @CoreyShupe my apology for the late submission of this feature request.

I think adding stuff like trampolines etc. as cosmetics to the lobby would be good, but you've got to be careful with stuff like this as to not take attention away from player servers.

A boat racetrack w/ ice (some of the lobbies could have race tracks going underground/through some of the structures)

Several different worlds for the lobbies, like islands for some of the lobbies, original lobbies (could be real nice for nostalgia) we used to have for others, etc.

PVP related activities would increase the moderation required in the lobbies, and I don't think the staff team has the capacity to moderate every lobby. Plus, free anti-cheats have really terrible at doing their job, there will be so much false positives, or false negatives. There would be lots of toxicity due to players PVPing each other, etc.

I feel the lobby is not the place to PVP, considering the extra strain it puts to the mods.

Oh yes, here is something I would like to tell: A custom PaperMC fork specifically designed for lobby purpose, that can handle high player counts without any performance issues, can be a good addition. Something similar to what Hypixel did on player housing, without resulting in high pings for all players. Sorry if I made no sense over here.

rip that trampoline from a few maps back tho I think a few more things would be nice, I like how the castle map had more secrets and things to discover, where this map doesn't have as much fun things to discover. It would be nice to have a little more entertainment in the lobby. Just makes it a little more enjoyable overall.

Options to teleport to a player, similar to /tpa or /tpahere. Making parties, beautiful GUI interfaces to show friends, party stuff, etc.

How about simply using an anti-cheat that completely blocks a user's actions (hit, move, etc.) if they are currently cheating. This way, no moderation will be required, and no punishments will be issued. Completely fair. But working on a good anti-cheat might be a challenge.
