Rejected A few Wither Rush suggestions

Aside: I wrote this in Docs in color to make it easier and more appealing to read, but color isn't added onto this suggestion page because of how the forums is formatted. If you would like the colored version to make it easier to skim through, feel free to ask in the Off-Topic server Discord channel, and hopefully I can send it to you. Now onto the suggestions! Some are good ones, and some are bad.

• Increase the skull drop chance from using the Withercapitator. Currently when I use it I can either get from around 3 skulls from 7 or 2 skulls from 12, which is fairly annoying and heavily increases the game length when they randomly don’t spawn. I usually refer to the amount of skulls obtained vs wither skeletons killed as the "skull drop rate."
  

• Adding and Editing information to the InfoBook. As of when I am writing this suggestion, the book has seven pages: five being information about the game and two being normal commands. I am going to disregard the last two command pages, and I will talk about the game information.
  

There are two phrases in different colors only, both being in black. I think adding more colors to the book in certain important areas will make it more appealing to read rather than it all being in normal font since people skim the book. For example: put every “Wither” and “wither skeleton” in black font, put the Withercapitor in gold font, Nether Rooms in red font, etc.

There is a decent amount of useless information/redundant information if you read the book in full. For example, it says a few times about wither spawning and how it takes over normal mobs. It also talks about spawners. This can be shortened down to something like “Withers have a high chance(it doesn’t say the percent, but I really want to know) of taking over all mobs at all times of the day, including spawners.” Also, toward the end of the book it talks about the withers being stronger and what you need to be prepared. It can be shortened down to “Remember that withers are stronger in this game mode, so be prepared for a long fight!”

You can also add the steps I put in the Off-Topic Discord channel detailing what you “need” to kill the Wither. I will also post it here: Timber trees, collect apples, get a book, get food, get glass, mine for enchants and Golden Apples, you find a nether room(and get 4 soul sand, two blaze rods and one nether wart), get a bow and enchant it, make potions, use the Withercapitator to have a higher chance at getting skull drops, get there skulls, and spawn and kill the Wither. Or, you can add a more info link to the book that links to more information about the game.

• Add a new leaderboard for Wither Rush points. This could be either in the form of getting points from dealing damage to the Wither, killing the Wither, or the time it takes to kill the Wither. It could also be a mix of these options, or possibly something entirely different.
  

Nonetheless, it would likely improve the player count for the game if you make it actually worth the time to play. By “worth the time” I do not mean that the game is very long for a slightly experienced player, I mean that I can be long and dreadful if you are new to the game, or if you have really poor skull drop rates. Of course newer players will likely take a long time in this game, like in Dragon Rush.

This would also, hopefully, help with the skill gap as people kept attempting to play the game and learn their own routine.

However also like Dragon Rush your kill can also potentially be stolen mid-flight, which is very unlikely, or after you die when the Wither you spawned travels toward the next person. Because of this Wither Rush points(or whatever they may be called) should not be counted toward overall grading and should be its own thing, unless the community seems otherwise.

This suggestion is not likely to be wanted, but you have to admit that it would at least improve the player base for the Wither Rush.

• When the game starts, put some helpful information in the chat like: "Use the Withercapitator on wither skeletons to have a higher percent chance of a skull dropping!" and "Be prepared! Remember to enchant and make potions before fighting the Wither."
  

It is much more likely people will read something that is bolded and/or in color than in long sentences where they need to skim.

I'm also talking about myself here though since nobody will see that I added color to any of this besides the bold.
Just so you know, I always write these suggestions out first and sometimes in color, so you can ask me for the colored version if you want.
