The magnet kit is something I thought of and would make it pretty easy to get some iron. Cost: 5000(Can be altered by staff) What it does: When you spawn in with this kit you get an iron ingot labeled magnet telling you the time left until you get an ore and will get one extra every 20 sec. Iron,Gold,Redstone,Coal.
I think the 5 ores at spawn must be removed. Only the 1 ore per minute is gud coz people might abuse the 5 ores per spawn. +1 tho
Maybe shorten the time u get an ore to 20 sec because most people get iron armor in phase 1, with this it would take to phase 3 to get enough.
