[REQ] Time Currency

I'm not sure this has been done or not, but I havn't seen it around. Tried googling.

The idea was that Minecraft would run on a currency of time. I got this idea from the movie 'inTime'. That would help sum up the concept.

My initial thoughts:

-Anyone who joins a server gets 60 minutes of time (for example)
-Mining, selling, doing stuff gives you time (seconds/minutes/hours/days)
-Implement with iConomy maybe so people can buy and sell stuff through it using their 'available time'
-Possible trade amounts of time with each other
-(MAYBE, SUCKISH IDEA) Damage could be time itself, no need for health
-Of course, if your time runs out. Permadeath or something like that could be implemented.

My thoughts on this is that it sounds exciting, and puts in a little bit more 'pressuring' feel into Mincraft

I hope someone can feed me some input whether this is possible or not

 

@zia1337 This is most certainly possible. I will have a look into it - It seems like a very cool idea!

Is it actually possible to implement the time currency as health as well? I mean, if people get killed by creepers. The idea of time would just be ignored. Since they've died from other means.

But it's a concept i thought would be pretty cool

 

@zia1337 it is possible. I could make it completely ignore damage and subtract from time instead.

 

@polaris120990 Yeah, I think that would be really good

 

@zia1337 ok, I will start to work on this as soon as possible.

 

@polaris120990
Thanks man!, really appreciate it!

 

Cool idea

If I were to do I would use my own Economy plugin i'm working on for the Economy bits. (maybe)

If no one does it I will for sure do it

@polaris120990
Good luck on it, if need any help just ask

 

@polaris120990

Hows it going with the mod?

 

@zia1337 It is going pretty good so far, I have been busy so I have not been able to devote too much time to it, but I am making progress.

 

@polaris120990

Ahh that's great man! I understand if you don't have much time. No rush or anything

@polaris120990

I might be asking too much

But, would it be possible to display the time above the player? in like
--> 00:00:00:00:00 // years:months:days:hours:seconds

I think this might be possible but I don't know how far a mod can go :<

Not without Spout. And if you want it to be live and count down every second that might use quite some CPU.
