I agree with this. I think we should find a good area and divide it up, then do your best to blend your patch into the next with paths and whatever so a village evolves built into the scenery.

I was just thinking like we usually do it except you don't have to worry about stepping on anyone's toes because it's laid out. I might not even be on when you're doing it, go your way if you want, unless anyone else speaks up.

Total, do you have an ETA on when the new map will be up?

No rush, just curious.

Ok well I am a bit confused as to what is going down with spawn. My idea was a flat symmetrical area with a spawn in the middle and the land plots surrounding the spawn building. The plots are there for people to build a house or whatever you want.

Something like this, but not quite. Just an example of how the plots are all the same size and on the same level:


Idk if that's what you guys want, and I really don't mind if it's not but as of right now I just want to know what we are doing so we don't all start doing different things in game. I posted plans for a spawn area above but here it is again.



So let me know if that's what you guys wanna do or if there is something else you had in mind. I'll also include a poll to see if we should use creative to build the spawn area or do it legit. If we do it legit it will probably take me a while to be able to contribute. I really don't want to use the limited resources I have in my chest to build it.
How do you want to build the spawn?
You may choose only one
Do you think we should use creative mode?
You may choose only one


Votes accepted from 03/05/12 02:32 PM until the end of time

Alright... Sheik brought up a good point, that maybe my idea is being misunderstood. My idea was to have the spawn area and plots next to it just be a place where you could build in a plot something fun and neat to look at. What you build in your plot will be built legitimately but the land plots and spawn building and stuff would be built in creative. This way we could really make the spawn building nice without having to worry about the cost of the items we are using, plus it would really be a lot faster and allow us to focus on building what we want in our plots of land legit. The idea of having a neighborhood where we all live is still cool but we can do it a little further away from spawn so we all have more room to build what we want, like a huge wheat farm or whatever.

That is just the idea I had originally and so I wanted to make sure you all didn't think I was saying we each have 20x20 squares to build your house and live there. it would just be for some monuments or cool buildings, maybe even a skyscraper or something. Just something to express yourself so when people join the server they can instantly see cool shit and look at stuff that you guys have built.

That is all, not saying we have to do it but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't confusing people. If we can't agree with it then I will try to help in whatever you guys want to do.

i like that idea, but why do it in creative? it really doesnt take long to flatten land. if we do it in creative then what is to stop people from using diamond cubes for everything? then the world is saturated with diamonds or such.

not a big fan of the monument idea... just seems like a waste when everyone will be itching to get started on their home.
what I do like though is what Spawn kind of turned into in the last world: a place for everyone to grab something they need.
using something close to the same plot audiophoenix made, have a giant wheat field, sugarcane field, mushroom field, livestock field, tame animal field, and a biome field (for vines, lilypads, cactus etc). and the animal fields can be broken up into cows, pigs, sheep.

im sure im forgetting some things, but just seems like a much more practical use of the time and land. we could even build a cobblestone generator, certain useful things. then next to the spawn, like last time, have a main nether portal that in time, everyone makes a path to on the nether side for easy transportation to and from.

I know there are people who are good, or at least enjoy doing some of these tasks. like i could take sugarcane/cobblestone generator/sheep field. or whatever. with 5 or so of us, we could make a central spawn area that is a wellspring of all the little other things.

I'm more eager for community farms and living in close quarters, it'll be cool seeing people when you're just going about your tasks.
I don't like the rigid layout but the majority rules, i guess it's just a matter of preference.

So what about the idea DO you like? lol because what you described isn't really my idea at all. Like I said I don't care if you don't like the idea, we can do whatever we all agree upon. But do you really think people are gonna want to build the spawn building entirely out of diamond blocks or something? How long will it take us to get colored wool, or bookshelf or anything else we might want to add to the spawn building to make it look cool? I just want to avoid this being a huge project that takes days. We could build something cool in a few hours. I am not at all against having a food fields and animal pastures near spawn, I just though it would be better to not have something a bit nicer to look at for when people spawn.

As for the monuments/buildings/cool things to look at, no one said you have to build one immediately, just claim a plot of land and build something cool when you get settled and have some time.

Ok, I have an idea then. We can have two groups of people. One group can work on the spawn building and plots, just laying it all out. and the other group can work on farms and such near by? Can we agree on that? I really think you guys might like the spawn area when it's done, It will not look as rigid when people start building their own creations on it. :shrug:

I think I like this idea the best. I've never really been a fan of perfectly symmetrical minecraft cities that have neat little spaces cut out of them. I think we (anyone who wants to, that is) should build a sort of city around spawn but keep the boundaries kind of loose. Maybe have a path to different parts, but within a very short walking distance. I feel the point of having a spawn town is so you can hang out there at night safely, and if everything is too spread out it makes that difficult. Conversely, if we build too close together we will run out of room and it will feel cluttered and claustrophobic. I really like the idea of doing something neat to spawn, like a town with a huge skyscraper or something, but I think it should have animal pens and various farms too. I think the best course of action would be to get a rough idea of something you'd liek to contribute to spawn, and when the new map comes online we all get on skype or something and hash it out while we are all looking at the spawn area. Like Comradez said, I usually don't know what direction to take until I get a good look at the terrain.

Coolo, that sounds cool, maybe that is something we can all agree on then.

Yeah I'm sure we can all find something we all agree on, I mean it's just minecraft, it's not really serious bizness and we all seem to be a friendly bunch of stoners so I think we could definitely build something really kickass. I really like the idea of a community spawn, and I think it would be cool to have a centralized place where it will be easier to see other people's creations. That was a big problem I've had is that people go off and build somewhere and I can't see their neat buildings. With a common area, we can all see each other's building prowess, and it would be much easier to build a centralized rail system to everyone's big projects elsewhere in the world.

I really like the plot idea, but like mike and comrade I have a problem with flattening the land completely. What I think we could do, is either find a plains biome or a biome that is relatively flat, and build into that. We could still have the plots squared around a central spawn, but instead of completely flattening the area, build stairs into the paths when the terrain gets higher or lower. And the owner of the plot could do whatever they wanted with their land (flatten or whatever), if they want to build anything there at all. What do you guys think?

Sorry, missed a few posts there.

I'm fine with non-symmetrical as well, just as long as our creations are relatively close and the spawn is somewhat centralized. As far as building the spawn area goes, I don't care wether we use creative or not (I voted yes :wink:). But like audio said, it would speed up the process quite a bit, which would let us get right to building our places. I mostly just want everyone to be happy. :smile:
