Just a small suggestion-type thing, if, when the map updates, the developers would please not pick a seed that is mostly ocean? Maybe we (the community) can suggest seeds, or just find a good seeds with like plains or something. Also, possibility of, with plains, making it Large Biomes? And yes, I understand that if it was known what the seed was, slimes/diamonds would be easy to find, but, even if you don't tell us, please don't drown the entire map? EDIT: Accidentally posted poll when not ready, it is: Mountains Plains Forests Jungle Taiga/Other biomes that snow (ice plains, ice mountains, etc.) Ocean Desert Mushroom Swamp Other/Custom
I think that the ocean biome is an incentive for people to move farther from spawn to find land-if it were any of those other biomes (mushroom is just illogical because of infinite food and particle lag) then there would be cramped housing and people would fight over chunks, just like Sandria. The ocean biomes are also basically a built in grief protection. Also, boats are faster than even quantum armor, so why complain?
If only we could like have a lava sea and have boats (maybe minecarts) that sailed the lava sea... that would be like the ocean, but better.
A mix of everything. I neglected to mention that those are very good points, I just think that a lava sea would be AWESOME. Also, I have no idea what Sandria is. I just live on a small island in the middle of nowhere. Space becomes a major issue, so I wanted to have a plains or mountains to settle on next map.
Sandria's the island that the dragon leads you to that is full of different people with different houses cramped together. Also, I live the exact same way as you do and I've made it work by digging out underneath my island to create different floors, and many have done the same. Sometimes, a large area can be found if you look hard enough. After the reset, it's likely that one of these will be available so if you really want a lot of space you could find one.
Yeah, we (my group) and I have already settled down on this island, and dug underneath, but, I still prefer plains/mountains for building.
Or you could just travel 20k blocks away?, just a thought. But I doubt sk will take any incentive to this and just choose what he wants, since it was either jon or joe who chose the "ocean" seed for the 1.2.5 reset (someone beginning with a J) And btw, why is there "custom" as an option in the poll?, its not possible for custom biomes 'yet' (not ones that wouldn't cause bugs and eat cpu)
I don't mean custom biomes, but more of a custom spawn (lava sea) for so many blocks out (2-3k) And I was under the impression that extra chunks slowed down the server, and if you traveled really far, might be considered a way of greifing the server with lag
What I still don't get is why you want a lava sea...that makes no sense. Sure, I get that it seems cool or awesome or whatever but it's impractical for anything other than a crap ton of lava pumping and a lot of people dying...it's only bound to have negative outcomes.
Okay, so we just have ocean again? And, really, I just thought that a lava sea would be fun. Kinda like Vechs' first map, Sea of Flame. And when I said "Custom", I didn't mean from a mod, and generated throughout the map. I just ment something like a floating island or whatever for spawn.
Yeah i misread "custom" as being from a mod, sorry :/ I personally would love something like a floating island high up in the sky or maybe something like spawn island floating in the middle of the void (void for about 100 blocks) and then land all around the void to give it an isolated feel.
No, I mean a custom world generator that would either only require a server-side mod or something like the Minecraft Land Generator to generate a very large part of the world.
Well no fucking shit, thats what your talking about idiot. I'M talking about mods thats add stuff like twilight forest with the massive types of trees and underground gen.
Sounds like a good idea, and mostly like what I said. But, still, lava is just as dangerous as void, if not more so. Either would be better, and then we can have like something with plains/forest/mountain after the void or lava.
Nothing is more dangerous than the void , I would think more of a ocean tbh since i like the idea of water falling into the void like a point-of-no-return or a "cut-off-from-the world" sort of deal if it was floating in the void but thats just what i think
