You can use something like http://www.plotz.co.uk/plotz.php and just go through the top layers of a sphere to make a dome.
Linktart 9k MC 1.2 (31/01/12)
How the map would look with MC 1.2 border expansion including workarounds to preserve existing biomes. Existing map area would be unchanged, outer area is 1.2 terrain as would be normally generated from this map. Old biome code preserves existing area but means wrong biome data on new outer areas.

Somebody already has my name on here
You are now whitelisted. Welcome to the server
Be sure to read the rules in the OP if you haven't done so already.
The admin team have made a decision on the following members:
Player toString has been issued a 3 day suspension. This is because of previous records along with a new warning for harassing other players.
Player sunlitsix has been issued a permaban for repeatedly griefing the 1.7 portal at spawn by placing boats on it on it. 1 occasion happened after a warning (along with previous history and being on his final warning).
Any questions will be handled in a PM.
Edit: corrected some minor things

I will just clarify exactly what I have done this time.
Whether it's believed or not is up to whoever reads this.A warning sign was placed on the portal, I put a boat onto said sign and one other boat in the portal itself. I didn't create all of that mess. (No proof either)
The start of Rule 4 says 'If players are found to be griefing (intentionally damaging other players property) ', placing two boats in a wall isn't damaging anything, I understand that it can be annoying though. BUT it can be removed simply by firing an arrow at that boat and it breaks instantly.
Nothing else to say! Good times on the server behind all of the y so srs stuff (Which for the record I don't like, it is just a game. XD), somebody finish off Sun Arena for me plox. The chests are full of glass and wood.
PS Can my name be red in the Hall of Lame? Cheers.
Seeing as these 'comments' I've made, and the people they're to and the people who I have 'harassed' is all classified, I'll just assume that's yrth, maxi and saf (and saf's boyfriend shaarpy, who I had no idea I'd offended until tonight). I'll assume it's those admins because they're the only ones on the server who have the ability to cheat, and I've watched cheat!
What I want to know is, does that mean the admins are now allowed to use cheat commands on their builds/community builds, and I or anyone else isn't allowed to comment on it? If so, why is that? Is it because it looks bad that the admins cheat while everyone else has to (and quite rightly) play normally?
Quick reference:
Player duping mats = ban / Admin in creative mode = ok.
Player with flymod = ban / Admin flying = ok.
(I'm obviously not talking about actual 'admin work' here).
Just want to make sure I'm clear on this issue. And everyone else. I would hate for someone else to ask an admin if their build was actually legit and get suspended for it.

I never understand this server... What is it that causes so many people to bicker or disagree.
It's a game where you place blocks and kill skeletons.
Why bother arguing? And worse... Why bother cheating?

Tostring - I've never seen any admin abuse their powers, true, I'm not on as much as I used to be but if they were, more people than just you would be reporting it - and I just haven't seen that happen. If people WERE to come forward with evidence I'm sure the admins involved would be punished. But as it is, frenchtart is unable to do anything.
Also, you often take screenshots and videos, if you saw them abusing their powers you'd surely record it one way or the other?

wow i go to class cant log in and i miss all the fun.
ToString. I dont care if you question my build.
But your attitude needs adjusting.
You may have issues with players and their builds
You never asked if they paid for an admin to help with a change you just assumed they cheated. So far i only know of 2 players that got help from me. But that was all done with their own mats. Monkey being one and it was his door i fixed.
My build is about 85/90% legit and i am happy to admit that
as there is not the much glowstone in the nether
I come back today and gone throught the logs the others have and i
would fully agree with the punishment.
IF any player feels an admin has abused their ablities best you speak with that admin or one of the other admins. We will always listen and we will question the admins on it. You are allowd to ask US. Just dont go moaning in chat about it. It is not the right way to aprocah things

I don't see the harm in admins using the admin right to spawn blocks for their own use. At the end of the day they are are different to regular players and have to spend more time sorting out players problems than mining for blocks.
However my own personal opinion is that it'll ruin the game faster for people that do it. I did it freely back in the day and it definitely sped up the feeling of getting bored with the game.

Just to be clear to everyone else, this isn't the reason why ToString has had a warning which became a 3 day ban due to his previous warnings.
ToString's warning is due to player harassment with sly, unneeded and trolling comments over the previous weeks which hit the tipping point last night.
As for Admins "cheating" I tried to have this discussion last night but it didn't get very far, with players jumping at each other and generally became a mess. There isn't any set Admin rules for using creative mode, we do make it clear not to use it for on other players builds and such as this gives a gameplay benefit to other players. We generally don't mind Admins using creative mode on their own builds as long as they are their own builds and not a joint project and aren't of a huge scale.
We allow this due to the amount of time Admins can lose doing admin work and such they lose a lot of game time. This also makes it far harder gathering resources as we are often needed throughout the night at different points which makes it very tedious having to continually track back down a mine. Gathering resources is generally the small percentage of play time in Minecraft, unless you are using rare mats, dims, iron, glowstone or making a massive build.
If the general consensus is players don't want Admins to use their powers on their personal builds/the odd community centered build) then it is something I will happily discuss with the other admins/FT and we can adjust our play style or bring back a creative map.
Again, this isn't the reason why ToString is banned for question authenticity of builds, it is because of his tone and attitude over the past weeks with last night being the tipping point and caused the warning.

I completely agree. If you take on the role as an admin, then you have to live with the fact that you may have less "playing time", so less time for your own build. In my eyes, it's not a valid reason to use creative powers on your own build. Simple.

Ah, right so its not written in stone then about flymod for admins. I just assumed the one I saw flying about the other week was doing it because they had the powers. I personally couldn't give a monkeys either way, it doesn't affect me. Although, I will say that aquiring glowstone unaturally is the one thing which does seem a bit overpowered. I haven't been able to mine a single block of glowstone myself as by the time I got round to going to the nether it had all gone, and I know that I probably won't have the skills to seriously mine it in the new dangerous alt-nether. It just seems to be strip mined any way. I just make do with jack-o-lanterns tbh anyway. But to just spawn it for personal builds seems a bit over the top. For things like the ballons, perfectly fine.
