Hi guys
I have a suggestion for Minecraft server but I want to know your opinion. the idea is to start a new world and copy some buildings from the old world to the new one using MCEdit or WorldEdit. Why this suggestion because I think it is better to start the world where we have a Fairplay from the beginning. If you agree we need first to determine a person who will update the server and plugins and some admins to keep the server clean.
I've chatted about this with Modaa this afternoon and from the start I told him I had mixed feelings about his... I'll let here my 2 cents...
Start a new World is always nice, the first few days on a new server are always the funnier with people trying to survive and usually working together... If several people would be willing to start anew and there was some steadier players than I think its a good idea... The point being that all start at the same time and with the same conditions and so its fair for everybody... Now this take me to the second point:
Copying the buildings from the old world - I have some strong feeling against this, I'm bound to think this as completely defeating the previous point of fairness and equality for everyone... If we import buildings for same players aren't we favoring them? To me this feels almost like cheating... and if we all decide to copy all players building so no one is left out, what's the point then of creating a new world if we bring the old with us?!
Of course if we start a new server it will pain a lot of players losing all the time they invested in previous structures but to be fair (and indeed keeping fairness in the center of this situation) I don't think we can have the best of two worlds...
In case of a new server going up, I would like to ask what would you guys think of spicing it a little... I won't say a mod pack, because that might be too computer heavy for some of us, but what about a single mod? That way the game would feel almost Vanilla but with some extra thing... I'm thinking namely of IndustrialCraft2, for version 1.12, it would add just some 4 or 5 ores, and a tree... and lots of more stuff for us to do... And since its just a single mod, (hopefully) there's no compatibility issues...
Regardless of what decision is taken in the end, I'm willing to help where I can... I told this to Slim before (OT: before disappearing for a while, sorry about that but things haven't been peachy on this side) I don't know how to manage these things but I also hope I'm not so stupid that I can't learn
I don't care for all of my items and buildings because I have an experience and can get them all again so if you want to start this world without copy any buildings I agree and maybe give each player a copy of this world to save his building.
I think that's agood idea but who gonna do this ?
all admins failed in minecraft.. so im not sure who could do that
Anyone Slim I accept it. I will be happy if I find more interest in this game.
