Addition of "Build Battle" Game Mode​

Detailed description:

I suggest introducing a fully integrated "Build Battle" mini-game to PikaNetwork. This mode would provide a completely dedicated creative arena where players compete against the clock to build creations based on a randomly selected theme, followed by a community voting phase.

Here are specific features and mechanics that could be included to fit PikaNetwork's network design:

• Game Modes & Queues:
  
  • Solo Build Battle: Standard 1v1v1v1 format with 5–7 minute build times.
  • Teams (2v2) Build Battle: Allows friends to team up on larger plots with an 8-minute build timer.
  • Pro Mode / Hardcore Build: Longer build times (10+ minutes) with access to advanced tools like WorldEdit brushes, particle generators, and custom head menus.
• Voting & Scoring Mechanics:
  
  • A hotbar voting system ranging from Super Poop (-2) to Legendary (+5).
  • Anti-cheat/anti-bias protection to prevent party members from unfairly boosting each other's scores.
• Cosmetics & Progression System:
  
  • Unlockable plot floors, custom skyboxes, weather controls, and music tracks.
  • Win cosmetics such as victory dances, particle trails, and specialized building suits/hats.
  • A cosmetic store integrated into /pets or a dedicated /buildshop using coins, seasonal keys, or gold.
• Seasonal & Community Events:
  
  • Limited-time seasonal themes during holiday events (e.g., Halloween, Christmas, Summer).
  • Weekly official build competitions with rank rewards, gold, or exclusive crate keys for top leaderboard placements.

Reason(s):

• Expands Gameplay Variety: PikaNetwork is heavily focused on PvP modes like BedWars, SkyWars, and OpPrison. Adding a dedicated creative mode provides a well-rounded variety that keeps the network fresh and engaging.
• Attracts a Broader Playerbase: A large portion of the Minecraft community enjoys building rather than pure combat. Adding Build Battle gives creative players a genuine reason to main PikaNetwork.
• High Replayability & Low Maintenance: Because themes are randomly generated and building styles are unlimited, no two matches are ever the same. This ensures long-term player retention with minimal game-loop adjustments needed over time.
• Content Creation & Promotion: Build Battle naturally creates hilarious, impressive, and engaging moments that are perfect for TikTok clips, YouTube videos, and Twitch streams, giving PikaNetwork free organic marketing.

-1 because there is already build battle events in the past but not as a gamemode, and has been suggested many times and denied
