That sounds like a cool idea.

 

Could we go mental with fireworks till we crash the server? j/k.

When the server is reset spawn should be a compass with the Neowin Logo at the centre ( Like the banner on page 1) With rules to the server and which way is north, south, east and west. Nothing More.

 

Whole point of survival is well to survive. lol

 

NOBODY should have creative or even request it (Only Admins of Course).  With so many people with creative on the server now, people just build there things then never come back. (Got Bored?)

 

Takes the fun out of Minecraft, creative.

The poll result is clear: https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1175729-neocraft-poll-for-17/ - the reset world will be survival only. 

 

I'm still in favour of protecting spawn with wall and moat. Have a look at what Louisifer has been working on lately (/warp testspawn on the current server) - something like that, with more details. Towers etc. If nothing else this will give players a safe base to retreat to if necessary at the start. Also, it looks better than just a compass in the middle of nowhere (IMHO).

Its not about looks, who cares what it looks like when your at spawn. Keep it simple I say.

Well, 1.7 is out. A few of us will be working on creating a server spawn and we should have the server up to date fairly soon with the new map.

Ahh looks like I ran out of time to complete my idea for spawn :laugh:

 

 

I borrowed a few ideas from the thread and created a simple fort that was more of a shell ready for us to fill it with crops, animals and items to trade in the 4 main markets.

In the 4 corners there is a pond for fishing which floods in from the moat outside the fort walls, an awesome looking nether portal, some farm land and space for animals(incomplete).

Under the markets there are a few places for temp homes/shops and even a prison (my new favourite command :shiftyninja:)

 

I uploaded a few pics of it to Imgur if you want to check it out :)

 

If there's one thing I've learned this last week.. I''ll need to raid a Mesa biome asap :laugh:

[+Frank B. Subscriber²]

Actually Louisifer, your spawn could save us a lot of time - if someone knows how to copy/paste it from one world to the other. Then add a few new 1.7 blocks maybe (stained glass, anybody?) and off we go.

[Grunt]

What style of world will be used? Standard, or large biomes, etc?

 

 

(if it's already been said, repeat yourselves because I CBA reading back)

[+Frank B. Subscriber²]

The idea is to make the next world survival only. I'm in favour of having large biomes; which biome to start in can be decided once the server is up - 1.7 lets you set the world spawn easily.

 

Ideally we can keep the server as close to vanilla as possible. Provide some food and a basic starter kit at spawn, then let players have at it.

A stone tool kit and sword should be enough.

[Chasethebase Reporter]

Lou that looks great, we definitely need to find a way to paste that into a new world. Is there a suitable place for a rules board as well?

MCEdit (-> http://www.mcedit.net/about.html) should let us import Lou's spawn into the new world.

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

Amplified all the way.

[Grunt]

Amplified all the way.

That would be quite awesome, but the server is laggy enough without having to render so much.

[Delete This Account Plz]

Cool cant wait to get started :)

[Louisifer]

MCEdit is working well as long as you don't need to edit newer blocks. :) 

 

A Savannah Fort:

 

[+Frank B. Subscriber²]

So you mean we can transplant the fort into a new world as long as the biome is not one of the new ones? New blocks can still be added later - i.e. stained glass for decorations.

 

Disclaimer: I've never used MCEdit.

[Louisifer]

We can import the fort :)

 

You can place older blocks into a new world but from testing I cant copy and paste the new trees.

 

I used large biomes for my seed and the Savannah at spawn gets my vote, it's mostly flat and has horses. :D

Sounds great. Can you finish the fort by Friday? I'd like to take the current world offline Friday evening or Saturday morning, then see if we can get the new world ready over the weekend.

[Louisifer]

Friday shouldn't be a problem, most of it is done, It's mostly cosmetic changes and sorting out the lighting. (I'm avoiding torches as much as I can)

Counting the seconds...
