@El'endiaStarman These could be underground or something. I'm kinda imagining a 2-3 story hotel in the plateau horseshoe (or built into this volcano), with a big lobby of tables+portals, and rooms assigned to each user. The maps area would be on top.
@El'endiaStarman Don't worry I have it designed so players spawn facing the map. You have to keep in mind players can spawn anywhere in a 20x20 area around the point though
@epicTCK If it's at your own base away from spawn then fine, go crazy. But for farms and utilities near or at spawn there may be more competition for various designs, so keep in mind that e.g. a normal wheat farm may someday be replaced with an automatic one
Incidentally, I do think it'll be a little better to use picks/shovels to clip the wings. TNT only destroys so much, and it's much harder to obtain gunpowder with the new combat system.
Actually, maybe there's been some confusion as to what is "my base" on the 1.9 server. My "base" is a mountain around -450x 300z. I also have a chest full of my stuff at the top of the community mine.
Actually, now that I think about it, I actually did have a creeper blow up next to me, and I had full iron armor. I didn't die though. Maybe went down to half health.
