I think maxi wanted a week to transfer stuff before 1.0 came out.

I really can't wait for it to come out, it's a real pita atm with the broken nether and spawning in 1.7 etc.
Cmon 1.0!
 
I've been playing around a bit with regards to the new spawn buildings and made a start with the 'Chapterhouse' from the previously posted diagrams... thought you might like to see it so far :)









It takes longer than I thought to create something in the software but I think it's big enough to look good but small enough to be in the shadow of the main building, whatever that may be.

But I doubt I'll move it to 1.7 but can I move my chests if I build a small hut somewhere? :)
 
I still think the only way spawn can be fair for everyone (old and new people) is that players are given an x by x size plot to build their spawn house on.

Then if they want to build a large mansion or palace, do it somewhere less busy.
 
I'll try and discuss it more with the admins and get something set down.

Personally I don't really want a massive single build at spawn but I'm not going to claim that I'm 100% right in that belief.

I was going to suggest something similar. How would it be planned - is it worth marking out a large area in structure planner into 25x25 plots (or something similar)?
 
I think *IF* we were to go that route it would have to involve some random way of choosing who gets which plot.

I don't know if it's a good way to go though.
 
'Large community build' nearly always turns into a '1 man operation'.

'Free for all' first 10% online get to 'cone off' large areas - the other 90% enjoy a 5 minute walk to their 'spawn house'.

IMO.
 
I still quite like the idea of 'cycling' a reasonably sized area. It would be hard to do it without generating work for admins though.

Rather than first come first served (if we went that route) I would also be more like "people sign up on linktart, we randomly allocate to plots from those people". People that don't sign up via a post don't get a plot. That's still not decided/etc/etc/usual disclaimer.
 
Another thing to add in if you go down some sort of route like that - i.e. people registering for a 'spawn house plot' - how about people registering to make a 'useful community building at spawn'. i.e. same size as the houses - but it will contain the nether portal in, or another one with a melon farm, or another with free stone tools for noobs etc.

Just an idea.

Definitely an interesting idea yeah. Will add it to the list :)
