Dé à coudre (thimble in English) is a dropper minigame invented by two french players in the early days of French Multiplayer servers and was named and popularized in France by a french Youtuber, Bob Lennon.
The goal of the game is to jump in a pool of water, and place a block of wool where you landed in the pool. If a player falls on a block, they are usually eliminated. Each player has wool color, to see which player placed which block in the pool.
The number of players depends on the size of the pool, but at least 2 players are needed to play.
Goal of the game
One at a time, the players need to jump in the water. Each jump, the player place a block under their feet in order to "fill" the water block in which they fell. As the game continue, the number of water blocks is smaller and smaller, meaning the player needs to be more and more precise to not fall on the placed blocks.
Bonus of «Dé à coudre»
Moreover, if a player achieve to fall in a 1x1 hole between blocks placed by players, we say they have done a «Dé à coudre». The tradition says that this player has the right to place a second block, where they wants, in addition of the one where they fell. Other versions add a second life to the player, allowing them to fail once.
General Rules
These are the rules used on MCO version of the game.
- Play in survival with empty inventory, except for the wool (dressing rooms are available in each arena to store your inventory during the game -- you lock yourself the chests)
- Place only one block per turn (except for the Dé à coudre’s bonus)
- No PvP allowed in the arena
Arena
The arena is composed with a pool, a jumping spot, a scoreboard and a rules board. The size of the pool is variable but, as written on the french Minecraft wiki, a good size for a pool should follow this function:
Number of players * n = Number of water blocks, where n represent the maximum round number and can differ in function of time of game. n = 5 mean that if all players successfully complete their jumps, they will all die in the 6th round because there will be no more water available.
Existing arenas
For now, only one arena is built on the server, the C.F.T.N Tower in Phoenix Isles, at the coordinates -5580 66 -11610 (Phoenix Isles' nexus)
