As it sais, voting to bring in flying to survival. in some sence i can understand what SK89 said to me in my suggestions post, there would be temptation just to get away from a mob but, i have a solution to it, just get/make a permissions plugin and add who should be able to do what. Make a standard rank permission for those that stil wanna do non-flying and then a flying rank for those that want to do it, and if you want to be able to fly then you just ask someone that has access to the files or that you can reg on the site so that it fixes it self like have a checkbox that you can sheck or uncheck depending on what you want to do.
Or find a better solution to the "cheat" problem, another solution could be that you only would be able to fly in certain parts like you have a block that you place somewhere that is lets say 64x64x64 and you can only fly there because you're most definetly building within that area
Well, even people with flying rank are tempted to cheat. If you have a checkbox, people will just keep it checked to allow them to fly because there's no reason to leave it unchecked.
Yeah, one guy suggested that once. I'm considering that, but there are some really crafty people, so we're going to have to still find ways that it could be abused. For example, you shouldn't be able to fly immediately after placing down the block because you could just place the block right away after you've been cornered by a group of creepers.
you can also make so that just that person placed that block can fly there, the block can be like a redstone ore block, if you smash it, not only will you lose your abillity to fly, you also lose that block since it becomes redstone dust
that area can also be your spawnpoint in case you die, then you don't need a bed, beds is really hard to do since i just found 3 sheep and i've been playing for 3 days here exploring and such, mostly building thou
that block can serve as a scurity thing aswell, just gives the owner of that block be able to build there, sorry for tripple posting but yeah
Well, there's the issue of abusing it in an emergency. Eh, getting wool isn't that hard -- gotta kill a few spiders to make string to make wool.
oh, i didn't know that, well, we could do it like you said before like do so that they cant fly before a certain time
In my opinion, there's too much of a risk for abuse if flight is allowed. Up to this point, there have been plenty of nice-looking buildings on Vincent (see: library, grand central station, mob grinders, etc.). If you want to build stuff with flight, go play on James. If you want to play survival with some minor enhancements, then Vincent is for you.
No flying. Lame idea for a survival server. Might as well play CoD is you want a game with no challenge.
Well, see it like this, creative sucks, that "hey i have unlimited of everything" style is way too easy and also would be nice if you read the previous posts before saying anything, all i'd want is to be able to fly while building so that it's easier to build within a certain area but still i need to gather all the items/blocks myself, is that so wrong? Just want the building part to be easier, that's all, nothing more, and the solution for it to work is that you have a block that can be locket to a certain pre-determined area, also what you can do with that block is enless, not only could you be able to fly in it but you can also use it to stop griefing for example that only the one placing the block will be able to build/destroy/fly there unless the original owner of that block adds permissions for it in case of ppl want to build together.
then,, you can always just /survival and mine for stuff on james. and maybe install a fly mod and fly too build
I read all the previous posts, use scaffolding like a man. The entire point of the survival server is for things to be difficult so that what you accomplish has meaning.
