It looks like with the death of BroHoster we will be restarting the server. Post your plans here.

Split the map in two at the spawn area for a cheating zone and a non-cheating zone.

I plan to have Livio remake the Great Lakes Monument since I can't rebuild it myself. We still have this:

@Jell

We'll need some plugin which deletes items in certain areas.

Would it be possible to split the world like that?

I was thinking that we could start a new map, and then make our current map the nether. That way we wouldn't lose all of our work and we would still start fresh. I dont know if you can do that, though.

We could work with an honor system until such things are available.

Huh, how about an area with permission for banned items? Probably a bad idea though.

Those items were banned because of lag, I think. Only using them in a certain area will still cause lag.

I thought TNT was banned because it can cause lots of issues with griefing. Same thing with fire and water.

Haily suggested that the new Spawn should be placed fairly high up, like on a hill or mountain, so that you can get a great view of the server. Perhaps the new Beacon could have exits on four sides, rather than one (or maybe just get rid of the walls entirely?).

It could literally be at the center of the world, with structures and paths expanding out in all directions. I was thinking we could have an NER-East, NER-West, NER-North, and NER-South, one road in each direction. I was originally thinking that the intersection of these 4 roads could be where the beacon is.

But as I was looking around at our current Spawn City, I realized that part of what makes it cool is how disorderly it tends to be. Having four roads neatly meeting to one spot is kinda boring when you think about it. Having just one NER is probably enough, and maybe we could try building things to be attached more organically rather than through a lifeline such as the NER.

The current world name is "Different". How about next time we come up with a better name?

We should pick a seed that has more land than water, and has a mixture of beautiful scenary and land good for building.

We can reorganize the concept of spawn city. I'm thinking the spawn point should be at a high point looking over the rest of the city. Like just below the cloud level, maybe inside a tower that has a panorama view/deck.

Well we DO have one or two seed topics, why not pick one of those?

Also I heard mojang (without capital letters) is a cool seed.

Lol, blame Bmwsu who just wanted a different world...hence the name.

Maybe you guys should build a mountain and have the mountain actually be a building but from the outside look like a mountain, and then at the top of the mountain there are observation areas and the spawn point like you suggested. But if you actually make the mountain instead of just using a random one, I suggest you make sure it actually looks good.

I also suggest you guys preserve the scenery more than you did last time. You shouldn't just bulldoze an entire hill because you think it's too much of a hassle to incorporate your building into it, either build floor above the mountain and build whatever onto that floor or build whatever you're building into the hill or mountain.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't get rid of any terrain to level out the building, I'm saying that doing stuff like this is ugly:



And if you really do need to do something like that at least fix the area so that it looks more natural and not like a giant slice was randomly taken out of a mountain.

I agree with quirvy. Pixel Art Park is a better example, because sometimes when I see those giant sliced mountain walls I'm not sure if someone did it or if that's just the randomizer acting weird.

ARGH YES THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS I WANTED WORLDEDIT BANNED.

Had to let it out.

Perhaps you should look into removing world edit powers from people who use world edit to clear out a bunch of land to build things on?

Well, the generator sometimes screws up and produces things like sliced mountains.

Also, I think our pawn should be on an island. That would be kinda cool.

Why don't we simply have two different worlds- Creative and survival.

Anyway, my ideal spawn is very different from all of you. I want another building similar-ish to The Beacon as spawn, except you spawn right at the bottom of a hole next to a fountain and you climb up stairs to get up, and beside the stairs are all the rules (I never liked the old rules room). Once you get up to the top there are the News and Achievements boards, and also another cake area. There (IMO) should be three exits on the new Beacon, since I want the New Beacon in the East Island of of Spawn City. My plan is to have two islands of spawn city, simply because it will look nicer. A couple of buildings should be moved straight from the old world IMO-

Interguild SkyMall and Blimp (floats above the City)
Sprout Tower and the D52 Tower (These have very little to improve upon IMO)

I'd be happy to rebuild my blimp, and that sounds cool.

EDIT: wait, is there any way to just transfer it?

I don't like the idea of putting the spawn point inside a hole that you have to climb out of. Since you show up at spawn every time you die, let's keep the spawn point easy to navigate through and wide open.

I'd like to fill the spawn area with Interguild propaganda, so the Interguild blimp would be a great addition to the area. The only thing I didn't like about your blimp, though, was that it wasn't very round, and you can definitely notice that in the "Remembering the Server" video.

How about we hold a competition? Everyone can design their own spawn area in single-player minecraft, record a video about it, and the winner will get to be in charge of rebuilding it on the new server. This also gives the winner the opportunity to incorporate ideas from the other entrants as well.

To make it rounder it would have to be bigger...
I'll manage though.
