I hate to lose the Omnifarm, which, let's recall, is a 37 BY 37 BY 37 HOLE IN THE GROUND but at least now I can help build a high-quality Nether hub and railroad system around the map (please?)
I'll want another 5 blocks behind this wall for duplicating the maps and allowing close looks at them.
My only stipulation is that the spawn is centered on the map center. That's not exactly necessary, but I like the idea that your crosshairs first start on the center.
@AlexA. We've decided on the seed and Cal- HelkaHomba will be resetting the world within the hour. He's uploading the last backup to somewhere on the internet now.
Can we plan a Nether hub that's a big room (possibly multiple stories) with branches off it that lead to people's rail tracks connecting to their respective Nether portals?
@El'endiaStarman Do we really want to map the world before we build stuff on it? Or will a more in-detail map room be created of the spawn town after that comes into existence?
Also, more of a general question, are we going to coordinate a time where as many of us as possible can go to the End and fight the dragon?
I propose that we reserve (A) the entire top of the plateau spawn is on, and (B) the entire plains area from these cobble corners to the plateau as a community area for community builds. i.e. things that everyone can use and help build/improve. No personal houses or things that you don't want other people potentially changing.
I'd suggest making it slightly more irregular, so as not to look like a giant square of a community hub. It might be more aesthetically pleasing that way.
@PhiNotPi I guessed you did. It was right next to your mountain, after all.
@HelkaHomba True, but that's easily remedied.
@Eridan I can easily put off making the 1-1 scale map until later, but the 8-1 scale map on the back is huge. Phi's mountain is about a third of the way from the edge that spawn is right next to. THAT one I can extend without worrying too much.
@EasterlyIrk Yes, as I learned when I got a few samples.
@AquaTart Fine by me. I just wanted to get something up to show what I had in mind.
I'm designating the entire top of the spawn plateau and this section of land (^ marked in temporary cobble) as community land. Everyone is encouraged to help develop it with [auto]farms and roads and such, but personal homes or bases should be outside this area. Everyone can use the stuff in community areas and rebuild/modify them as necessary. If anyone has concerns about this, I'm open to discussion.
@El'endiaStarman (cc @quartata) What if we make sure that the spawn base has decent-sized private rooms for everyone? Then no one will feel the need to build another small house right near spawn (and of course they can make as big a house as they want away from spawn)
Ok for the top of the plate, we should have: Pixel art blocks of:
-furnace
-chest
-crafting table
the furnace has a huge autosmelter, the crafting table is a huge area with enchanting tables, potion stands, crafting tables and anvils and the chest is an item sorter
