Creative Future Planning

With each reset of the server, we find new things to refine about how the server is run. The purpose of this page is to collect together all the ideas and issues that come up during the current Creative map in preparation for the next map.
New Ideas
- Drop the ground level by 20m to give a buildable height of 84m. Bedrock to sky projects would take 2/3 of the time to get to dig out to bedrock.
- I had this idea I think this is a really good one. Another idea is to have different map types in each quadrant. For example we can have flat lands in one, crazy hills pve style in the another etc --Cmdrtebok 13:49, 16 February 2011 (CST)
- Have a square grid of preset warps 1000m apart. This would cut down on the number of warps needed on the server for minor creations, but would also ensure a healthy spread of building across the map. Here's how it would work:
- While I think this is a great idea I think the transit project should take the place of warps, I am weary of setting up too much in advance for the users on the creative map. I think if they want to get out there at first they should build the roads/trains then we set warps. --Cmdrtebok 13:49, 16 February 2011 (CST)
- Micro-spawn points buildings (podium, park?) of some sort on each of the warp locations.
- A large protected area around each warp, as to reduce claustrophobia of buildings right around the warp. It's a large map, no harm in having a decent sized area free (50x50, 75x75?)
- With the simplicity of the warp grid layout, we could have a scale map built, with signs on to indicate major buildings.
Spawn
- A spawn point similar to the one from map revision #8 (Sept-Oct 2010). Large circular lake of water with a smaller circular island in the centre, enclosed with a glass dome. Trees and large rule boards inside. Glass under water tunnel to lead out of the lake.
- We may have to temporarily start the map on a whitelist, under hMod with cuboid in order to build a large lake, island and dome.
- MBoffin created this on a private server and it would be good to have something similar to indicate Rules and Help:
Promotion
- We need a post at the top of /r/Minecraft to get users in. The last map started out as a temporary map.
Suggested Plugins
- Essentials - All the basic essentials.
- Permissions - Standard permissions (used by many plugins)
- WorldGuard - Grief protection
- WorldEdit - Needed by WorldGuard
- MagicCarpet - Mod tool
- BorderGuard - Map containment
- BigBrother - Anti Griefing
Current Problems
- Many things are broken due to outdated Bukkit.
- Many people complain when they are banned that they didn't know the rules.
