    First of all, if it's a quick forum suggestion, don't bother reading this. This is for advanced command suggestions and minigame suggestions.

    Looking at the denied and accepted suggestions, I've figured how to make a suggestion; a suggestion that the most people will 90% of the time at least consider.

    Step 1: Picture it
    • Try to draw it on a piece of paper or on a paint document. It doesn't have to be detailed, just a brief drawing of what it could look like. If it takes
    ~1 hour
    or
    The need of others(or you simply just can't draw it)
    Then it's probably not going to happen.

    • Picture how it would work too.
    Picture what you think others would find it, and use it. Make sure the commands aren't confusing. People don't want to be doing this(suppose it's a "shop" command)
    /shop offersearch minecraft:grass_block CrazyIcicle 50 100
    It's a good idea in theory, but I'm sure ChestShops are a much better idea than that.

    ---------------
    Step 2
    Find who and where people should use it.
    • This includes bias suggestions. Why make it your rank [suppose premium rank] that comes with plenty of additional perks, letting premium & above use /bounce when premiums get many perks there's other ranks that lack perks [like Legend,(well, maybe) only coming with 2 perks)[Sorry if this offends your rank, I'm just supposing it]
    -Would people use it?
    -----------------
    Step 3: Plan the suggestion
    • If it's a game, try to make maps for it!
    • If it's a command, start making subcommands!
    Now, once you plan the features of it, coming up with the additional parts and things are easy to do.
    ------------
    Step 4: Fasting work
    Now, this will be the hard part.
    Ignore the suggestion COMPLETELY for 5-7 days and look at it. Do you still think this suggestion is a good idea?
    -------------
    Step 5: Publish your suggestion
    • Add some extra features if you can, then start writing it!
    • Don't write 10 paragraphs if you can write 3 paragraphs. 3 paragraphs should do everything, you don't need a paragraph for every little detail
    • Organize your suggestions
    • Put reasons why this suggestion may be bad, then counter it before it's too late. For a matter I understand, people never switch to agreeing 70% of it, even staff sometimes, if people change their mind about big details.
    • Don't worry if your suggestion is denied! Just because it is denied doesn't mean the format looks perfect for it. If you plan more suggestions, use your 1st suggestion and improve from there!
