* 2 or more players each start each start in their own pre-constructed base, some distance (maybe 128 blocks) apart.
* Match can be capture the flag, deathmatch, teams, FFA, etc.
* Pre-constructed bases will be set size (eg 64x64x16), using pre-set numbers of different blocks. Bases are pre-constructed in creative mode, but only with a limited number of each block type.
* Bases can be stocked with certain pre-made tools.
* The idea is a 10m to 60m match, similar to other eSports.
* Surrounding environment can be randomly generated, or pre-set (to something like all flat cobblestone) to eliminate randomness.
This would create a very competitive gaming experience.
Who can create the best base? Who can explore/destroy/sneak into their opponents base the best?
eSports teams could have dedicated base-builders, and dedicated match-players.
True - could be a DOTA-type thing (warcraft3 mod) that just takes off and gets a life of its own.
However, it might be tough to enforce the block-limit rules for base construction if you don't have some sort of official in-game mode.
I also dream of a minecraft-battle.net type of interface with ladders and an automated matchmaking system.
