Should Cake Wars have lava/water buckets?

Hey there!

I can see the point in this idea. It would definitely shake up how CW games are played and allow for different strategies in the gamemode. But I feel as this idea is simply not polished enough to be considered. Lava buckets could become a nuisance to many players, especially when attempting to get past it to eat a cake. Water buckets make a little more sense, but could potentially flood down into the void and allow players to sit under maps. I think that what your idea lacks is more examples on how these items would be used, and how they should be added & executed properly. For example, if the water/lava had a flow limit and was more situational (stopping you from taking damage from falling, placing it down during combat to throw off players), I would be fine with this item being added. It just needs a bit of touching up to truly feel like it can fit in to the gamemode

0, Neutral to this idea until developed further.

I do agree that having Water Buckets in-game would have to include some ground rules. 1st. You could make "Water bucket" be a team upgrade, like healing station. And 2nd. Waterfall camping could be punishable. (about camping: maybe the boarder wall closes upwards too??)

I agree with adding water as it could make defending more interesting. However adding both lava and water would lead to people using it to make obsidian, as well as building cobble generators

In Clans, back in the Season 2, Mineplex disabled cobblestone generators. I do not see any reason why they cannot do the same for Cakewars.

In my opinion, I don't think so. Cake Wars is a fun game where if you get knocked off you die! But with water buckets if everyone placed them across the map it would be chaos! People could just keep buying them and flood the map with lava/water!

Wouldn’t it start fires and be able to make cheap obsidian? And if it can start fires it can light a nether portal. (The lava)

Lava buckets would make an unstoppable cake defence lol

Lava buckets could be used to make an OP bed defense(as stated by other people) and players could "spam" it, which unless you have a bow or enderpearls you really don't have a chance. Water, on the other hand, water might be a nice idea. It would be annoying to get through but they could add some type of depth strider upgrade to the game. You could also use water to MLG off a tall building to negate fall damage.

So I'll give this idea a 0.

No offence to you, but I don’t think this would be a very good idea. As, like others said, it would be easily abused. Lava is an OP cake defence, and water can easily save someone from falling off the map.

I agree that water and lava buckets would be pretty overpowered. While it would put a new twist to the game, as others have said, it creates even more issues with eating another team's cake. It also can be very overpowered in a PvP fight with lava. You take damage from the fire that it sets and you can't run away quickly from another player because you are taking the damage. It's a double whammy and seems like something that would have a huge advantage of players that don't have lava also or at least water to put themselves out from the fire. That's also not to mention that obsidian traps would come to fruition if water and lava became available.

I agree with Farmer Orange on this one. The whole point of the map having void is to be knocked INTO the void NOT being able to get back up. However, the idea of having water buckets (Not including lava buckets right now)
totally contradicts the idea of being knocked into the void.

I don't think these additions would effect the game in a positive manner sadly, I feel as if it would cause games going on longer say if you spend a couple minutes climbing back up a water fall over the void and as many other brought up the spawn points being blocked in. I see the vision but overall am not for the addition. <3
