New Biomes In 1.7

Not getting the cool new biomes makes people sad as well. Hence the secret discussion which are not being held in my wardrobe.

 

New biomes =awesome. Resetting = stressful. Gotta find a middle ground somewhere. Legend's wardrobe = hilarious. <3

 

Middle ground = extending the current world limits and generating new biomes

 

Perhaps we could have 2 maps at once for a month or two, people move their stuff over to the new map, and some world edit could be used in a similar fashion to the creative server to transfer some builds over?

 

This is good. And maybe towns could get copied and pasted over. Only problem is if u had horses u could take them to the new world! ( I am saying this cause I have gone through a lot of stress getting horses to places D Would there be a way to join the two worlds together?

 

Another idea would be to go back to shadecrest 1.0, we have the old map still ??????????


Worth a try right?

 

I still think the map border should be expanded and generate new 1.7 terrain as long as we have warps to get there.

 

Could I clarify something for the general public, we start discussions on how to integrate new features almost as soon as we have a confirmation on them.

And also to remind everyone that the new features actually rely on when bukkit updates, and not MC, like so many people seem to think. This being a rather large update, it'll take at least a week, probably more to update.

 

I think this is the best idea yet out of all of the ideas posted people wouldnt lose all their stuff if they stayed active and all the noob bases left over wont be wasting space in the world. It should be 3 month period the transition in case people went inactive or on holiday for awhile they would still be able to transfer stuff

 

And how do you plan to transfer horses?

 

I hate horses, so I'm not the best person to ask

 

I'm sure the survival staff have thought of all of this guys, I really wouldn't worry about your stuff/bases etc. being lost. We recently had an update on the creative server and it worked out pretty smoothly due to a select few staff members working their butts off to move builds etc. I'm sure if there are any changes the staff will do their utmost to ensure all of your hard work will not be in vain, staff are players too you know

 

Builds would probably be easily transferred, items would probably have to be transferred manually though.

 

Man c'mon Notch and Jeb make double ender chest!!!!

 

Well, we would have to have multiverse to have 2 worlds at once, so i doubt enderchests would transfer items between those two worlds.

 

Do VIPs have an advantage as far as exploration?

 

Chests can be copied over, but all special items (enchants, named items, special fireworks, etc.) will have to be moved manually or they would get lost.

 

We will be getting refunded on chest locks right?

 

Look guys, there's been a thread made about what they would do if we made a new world. Go and check it out then ask anymore questions you may have there.

 

Chest locks were somewhat up for debate last I saw, it's not as straightforward as one might think when you take VIPs into consideration.

I have 3 locks and you have 3 locks; you paid the full cost of 3000, and I paid 1200 with my VIP V status. Simple enough so far. But when there's people who have 3o chest locks and aquired VIP roughly 2/3rds of the way through, how much do we refund those people?
