Pretty neat dodgeball ideas

What's the title of your suggestion?: Pretty neat dodgeball ideas

What's your suggestion?:
so real quick, i know that dodgeball is already being planned for a rework. but since there's almost nothing known about it, and it's been about two years- i want to suggest some of my own ideas that i would like to see.

super cool ball features!!

in dodgeball there aren't many rules, the game is insanely simple. . the main complexity dodgeball has is the interactions a player can have with the ball, so expanding on those would be really neat​

bouncing balls

balls bounce, especially dodgeballs. in the current plugin they only bounce on the invisible boundaries- (and hits eliminate players after these bounces! oh no!) after bouncing, the ball becomes dead and doesn't eliminate​

catchable balls

catching the ball eliminates the last opponent who threw it, unless it has bounced beforehand.​

blockable balls

perhaps, you try to catch with a ball already in your hand. . this would trigger a block, dropping the thrown ball at your feet without eliminating anyone.​

dual wielding balls

being able to hold 2 balls, currently a possibility in game already through (probably) unintentional means. making this a feature would make sense to me. .​

​

super cool non-ball features!!

pretty much anything that doesn't have to do with the balls​

team select

in my opinion, one way to make the plugin immediately more competitive / serious is by allowing people to select whether they want to be on red or blue at the start. ​

keeping view angles at the start

being forced to face south at the start of a game is kind of stupid. .​

markings on the court

adding some extra markings on the court wouldn't hurt. similar to whatever this is​

wow, that's really cool! can i see it in action? (yes)

i got a little bored a while back and decided to dabble in some minecraft / plugin development myself. . as a fun little experiment i thought to recreate and adjust this very beloved and silly little plugin. adding some features which i thought seemed fitting, taking inspiration from real "competitive dodgeball" (yes i actually used this video as a reference)

note, this plugin is NOT finished- i stopped working on it somewhere in february cos of piling school work :( it do be kind of playable doe. .

How will this benefit the server and community?:
it's well cool

Should also totally add public dodgeball courts next to family store. We already have plenty of volleyball courts on the beach so might as well make family store's open court dodgeball.
