Suggestion:
Custom Kits in Practice​

Detailed description:
Practice is one of the most popular game modes on Pika Network, where players train and improve their PvP skills to become better fighters. However, unlike many other servers, Pika doesn’t offer custom kits for players to create and use.

To solve this, I suggest adding a Custom Kit Maker NPC along with a revamped party system. Here’s how it would work:

New Commands:​

  • /customparty make <kit name> or /customparty create
    This command allows players to create their own custom kit. The kit name should be clearly shown to the opponent during fights.
    Example: I’m a HT3 Mace & Spear player and I love teaching this style. Since these kits are usually only available on premium servers, I could use this command to create my own Mace & Spear kit and share it with others.

  • /customparty invite <player> This lets you invite friends or other players to test your custom kit in a fight.

  • /customparty kick <player> A simple command to remove someone from your custom kit party.

  • /customparty host (Exclusive for players with Gold rank or higher) This command allows higher-ranked players to host custom kit events or tournaments with prize pools.
    Example: An Emerald rank player could host an event and give away a Permanent Gold rank to the winner.

  • /customparty boundary This lets the host set the fighting area (for example, 10x10 chunks). If players stay outside a 3x3 chunk radius for too long, the match will end in 15 seconds, giving them time to return to the designated area.

  • /customparty disband Once the fight or event is over, the host should use this command to disband the party. This helps prevent lag and teaches players about responsibility.

This system would make the Practice mode much more fun and creative, especially for players who want to build and share their own unique kits.​

Reason(s):
Another major advantage of this system is that it helps reduce the workload on the Pika Network developers.

As new fighting styles and updates are released in the Minecraft community, Pika often struggles to keep up by adding every new mode manually. With the Custom Kit Maker, developers wouldn’t have to create and balance every new kit themselves. Instead, players can create and share their own kits.

When a new Minecraft update drops, the developers would only need to update the server version and make minor adjustments to the kit system — which is far easier and less time-consuming than building entirely new game modes from scratch every time.

I came up with this idea mainly to lighten the load on the developers, who already work extremely hard to bring regular updates and improvements to the server.

At the same time, this feature adds meaningful value for players who spend money on ranks. It gives them something exciting and useful to look forward to, making rank purchases feel more rewarding.


Overall, this update would benefit everyone — the players, the community, and the development team.​

Example(s):
Here are some examples to better explain how the system would work:

When you use the /customparty create command, an inventory GUI will open up. In this menu, you can add all the important items and enchantments for your custom kit.

Example: If you're making a Mace & Spear kit, you can add 2 maces and 1 spear with the exact enchantments you want. Everything you place in the inventory becomes part of your custom kit.

The /customparty host command is a bit more advanced compared to the others. The player who hosts the event is responsible for creating the custom kits and deciding what items and enchantments are allowed.

As for /customparty boundary, this is a feature available only to the host. Since events can involve many players, the host can set the size of the fighting area to keep the match fair and organized.

The available boundary sizes would be decided by the developers. For example, the host could choose from preset options such as:

  • 10x10 chunks
  • 20x20 chunks
  • 30x30 chunks
