Disclaimer: This suggestion is meant to be for Bedrock only, but it can be added to Java if players want it

Hello CubeCrafters! It is common knowledge that most people want leather armor back in Overpowered mode and I agree with it. We were all waiting for it to be added with the EggWars Tweaks update but unfortunately, it never made it. Fortunately, I have a solution that aims to satisfy both communities, since there could be some players that enjoy the current OP mode over the original (honestly idk who prefers it over the original), and it can give people who missed out on it a chance to play it. Allow me to introduce you to my suggestion: Retro Overpowered Item Voting Option!

In Retro Overpowered, the game will feel closer to the original overpowered mode we all know and love, with 1.20 content included!

Retro Overpowered will feature the return of the following content:

  • Leather armor
  • Chain armor
  • Protection 4 on all armor sets
  • Power 5 bow, with Power 3 bow being the base version
  • Weakness Arrows
  • Hay Bales
  • Season 1 Kits

Season 1 Kit Items:
Baker: 10 bread and 14 steak
Builder: 15 andesite and leather helmet protection 4
Miner: stone pickaxe efficiency 5
Healer: 3 golden apples

Due to the addition of leather and chain armor sets, and protection 4 on armor, fights will last longer, in a fun way (especially during early-mid game), and the element of armor breaking will return! Well, Overpowered already has that but it’s super rare for it to happen.

Some shop items will be modified, for example Netherite Sword Sharpness 5 replaces Diamond Sword Sharpness 5, and Netherite Pickaxes will replace efficiency 4, 6, and 8 diamond pickaxes. Those Netherite Pickaxes will maintain the same efficiency level those diamond pickaxes had. Concrete will stay in the game as they look so much better than Terracotta, in my opinion. Gold Ore is replaced by deepslate. Obsidian will be bought with gold since Ancient Debris won’t be in this mode.

Possible questions:

1: Will Netherite Armor be in this game mode?

No. If you want Netherite Armor, play the other Overpowered Mode.

2: Will discounts, perks, and emeralds be in this game mode?

I’m not sure if it’s possible to deactivate them for this game mode specifically, so they'll stay enabled unless its possible.

3: Will generators be faster?

Not possible unless the developers choose to update the speed of custom generators. Also it could be possible to change the generator capacity to match the original, if the developers choose to update it for this game mode. So unless that happens, generators will have double resources by default.

4: Aren’t 4 game modes a bit too much?

Lucky Islands has 4 votable game modes, so why can't EggWars have it?

5: Will the new and returning items (weakness arrow, hay bales, and deepslate) be added to other modes?

Yes, they will be added to other modes.

6: If leather armor got added to Overpowered mode. What’s going to happen to this suggestion?

This suggestion will be closed.

What do you think of the suggestion? Let me know your thoughts in the comments

Edit 1: Added two more possible questions
Edit 2: Updated shop

Im a bit confused, how will fights last longer if leather armor is introduced? What’s the reasoning for adding this, other than than it being nostalgic?

The addition of leather was being discussed here #1194765894459592805 message

Well, to clarify what I meant:
Fights can get long enough for leather armor to break mid fight, should you get into a long fight, since leather armor durability is shorter than iron armor durability. Late game though, fights can get really long when players get stronger armor.
But in general, games will be faster since armor can be broken
I'm terrible at explaining things.
This suggestion is not only made for nostalgic reasons but to make the game more fun and to allow players who joined the server since summer to get to try it, should they get into a game that someone votes the said mode

I think adding kits like before will be a bit too much

I hope cc actually take this into cosnideration because it is a great idea.

Because the whole system changed with the change of armours. You see this is mostly related to scrims where the fights with leather armour were longer due to players not having amazing gear (iron geat early on). They would have to retreat anduse weak weapons like wooden swrods. This would make the fights longer and a lot more dependant on pvp skill as well as finding use of the terrain. Most often these fights in scrims would end over the void where the guy who is getting comboed either clutches it up or doesn't. This is why scrimmers actually hate the update that changed egg wars so much (I think it was the 1.19 cc update). The reason is it took away the very thing we liked from the game - pure skill. On top of that it changed prices which we had remembered by heart and it takes mo ths to get used to stuff when it changes. Overall the scrimming community was kind of pushed away from the server by Cubecraft and then people wonder why the average Hive skill is going up and cc is going down. Basically a lot of competitive players went to HIVE and without professionla scrimmers the overall skill went lower.

I’m not a scrimmer but I understand your points. I’m more of a guy who plays the game for fun and grinds while doing so. Now that I think about it, scrims might be more interesting in this game mode with 1.20 content

You need to make use of other tactics because you die so quickly, no? By “making use of the surroundings” do you mean block placing and running around? I’m still just a bit confused on how the leather armor has longer fights. Previously I was able to go to a team and wipe them out pretty easily with leather armor. I can’t do that now with iron armor, as a fight per person takes longer. Note that I’m looking at an average fight, not one against well known or scrim players. You’re average fight which you have 99% of the time.

you have longer fights because you don't lose as much health, so you need to break the other's armour in order to do great dmg

ig that's what he meand

In that case I stand corrected , didn’t know it was that little

At least in scrims

In regular fights it's to me the same because I own the kids

Sure sounds good i appreciate ur desire to just keep both rather than remove the new one.

glad cargo

It could replace ultra hardcore since that is just item but 400% expensive
