[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;45517438]Make sure to increase the amount of lapis spawned, if possible. With the new enchantment system coming with 1.8, we'll need it unfortunately.[/QUOTE]
What're the changes? I don't keep up with that stuff that often.
[QUOTE=Zephyrs;45514464]1.8 is changing how map generation works. You can specify a great deal of random tidbits to fine tune it. Even if that weren't the case, there's the the problem with how amplified looks great, but gets in the way of doing anything.
It's difficult to build structures anywhere because the terrain heights are so random, ores don't spawn much, if at all, above certain heights, and traveling in the overworld gets very unpleasant. 1.8 has some fairly advanced tweaks that you can make to world generation. I intended to look into making something a bit hilly, but going full blown amplified is just too far if you ask me.[/QUOTE]
cool, can i request larger, flatter plains? there are a bunch in this gen but they kind of let me down, especially considering the new 52 chunk loading or whatever it is
[QUOTE=Jrose14;45518496]What're the changes? I don't keep up with that stuff that often.[/QUOTE]
Making enchantments on any kind of armor or tool will cost lapis. And the higher the enchantment, the more you need.
It's not much, like 1 or 2 or 3 lapis at most, but given how abundant lapis is now, without tweaking the spawn rate of it (which will be another feature in 1.8), no one will have anything enchanted.

I wouldn't mind a flatter area with some rolling hills. Definitely would make my homestead look better (and bigger).
I'd like to try making a 500x500 size farmland.
wait, will there be a map reset soon? In that case I'll hold off on building something for the time being :)

Not soon, but probably before the end of the year. Depends on when 1.8 comes out.

Eh, I don't know - I've found like 200 lapis and only 4 diamonds so far.

I would appreciate having all kinds of biomes, hills mountains plains and all, but just BETTER. like the plains generated in the last one were a bit of a let down, and i think mountains can be made better too
I want more deserts. And bigger deserts.
They are my favorite biome. I want a desert fortress, where I can see trees and fucking snow on the edges like all Minecraft deserts.
Don't mess with the ore spawns, if people are complaining about a lack of lapis, they clearly don't know how to properly mine. In every MC server I've ever played, Lapis was second only to redstone in the massive quantities of ores that we collected. Once you get fortune III, you'll have more lapis than you know what to do with.

or VALLEYS, that would be cool
Honestly think a little bit of thievery and pvp should be allowed
With the people we have online nothings going to get out of hand and i find it interesting when people actually have to build something to defend what they have, EG a safe,traps or a vault, instead of just leaving it all in a chest outside
[QUOTE=mini me;45522524]Honestly think a little bit of thievery and pvp should be allowed[/QUOTE]
The problem with this is that it's minecraft, all someone has to do is wait for someone to log out, then they can have their way with whatever they want. All they have to do is find their base. Honestly, the more competition you foster on a player base, the more you drive them to start cheating. I've seen it on countless MC servers, those who didn't have the time or resources to compete would resort to either cheating, or constantly QQing to the administration to help specifically them, and not actually address any actual problems. I'm in favor of neither. As long as there's no base/block protection, griefing/stealing should not be allowed, as there is no real way to defend. Welcome to Hide and Seek; the server.
There's a hundred (if not thousands) of other servers that allow drama, PvP, and thievery on minecraft, no need to turn this server into another of those at this point, imo.
Honestly if something does get added to encourage say, defense of possessions, I'd rather it be a well done PvE element, than PvP.
Could you whitelist: Osku
Bruh I don't meet the criteria
But I just wanna play / chill on a private minecraft server, come on let me in :wink:

Eco house
Are there any Mesa biomes on this map? I didn't look TOO hard at the iso but from what I could tell I didn't see any.

you can steal shit, you just cant kill people. I'd rather have it the other way around but w/e
So if nobody's complaining, I have commandeered the empty house near Beaurecop's Mansion at the spawn (coordinates are approximately X: 250, Z: 180). If the previous owner wishes to reclaim his house, all he has to do is ask and I'll move elsewhere.

Did the server go down?
Still down?
[QUOTE=oskutin;45533617]Still down?[/QUOTE]
Still down.
Rebooted. Not entirely sure what caused that. Auto restart didn't even catch it.
With regards to the biomes. There are ice spikes within 7k and I believe mesa within 8k. I'm somewhat inclined to marginally increase the limits on the map just because of that. I'd like to find a 1.8 seed setup that produces most stuff within 3k, and everything within 5k of spawn.
I say we should extend the world border to 10k. Everyone who's playing already has a base within 2k, I don't think anyone is going to go 10k out just to build a hole in the ground.
Also authentication servers are down for maintenance.
and the map isn't updated.
Yeah, it crashed an hour into the map render. I'll just let it update on the next scheduled pass. How would people feel about pushing the border to 10k. There is a mooshroom island within the 5k, but its very small, and there is only one. 10k gives the ice spikes and mesas that people are missing, albeit not in abundance.
I'll do this later today unless someone has a good reason not to. I'm going to turn off the alternate angles in the map render to speed things up until I know that it won't be a problem.
May you disable the online mode so we can still join the server until the auth server are back up?
It's back up
I've been kinda getting back into minecraft, and this server sounds right up my alley. I'd love a whitelist, thanks.
