Glass carpet/fly mod

I heard this was discontinued due to people abusing it in PVP. Is there anyway to revisit this problem ad find a way to give this option? As a creative survivalist I would definately pay 10k+ to use it for 24 hours. It's crazy to think people would waste all those rupees to break the rules .

 

Not a bad thought,I'd use it just to keep an eye on my village from above instead of running around...guess its all on what the staff peeps say

I think it was discontinued because the mod became discontinued/buggy, but I am uncertain.

 

It was really buggy, you can just place blocks up to where you need to be

 

Sharq, the buildings that I make can span up to 125 and the detail work is really hard to do and time consuming. I'll leave it alone, I just can't imagine that theres no other way we can work this out for the honest players who want to build awesome stuff in survival.

 

What is the point of building in survival if you can just glitch or fly...? creative.shadecrest.com <---

 

The satisfaction of finishing a build with items you worked hard to get will always be more satisfying to me.

 

Won't the satisfaction be greater if you didn't use fly mods or glitches...?

 

Nope, because we could get the same result by pillaring, it's just that it wouldn't take as long. No advantage that you wouldn't have normally other than speed/efficiency.

 

When I was an Admin on a server (Not SC), we had this, and the problem was, not only would people abuse it in PVP, but survival as well. They would fly over lava, go just over mobs to attack them without taking damage, etc. If you need to build somewhere high up, I suggest getting a weak block like snow or dirt and pillaring/nerd poling. Just break it after. It's not hard, it's not dangerous, (as long as you are sneaking), and it works just as well. Plus, you get bonus "satisfaction" from the more materials used in the process. Double win!

 

Actually the best way to pillar is 2 dirt, and then gravel or sand. When you're done, break the bottom dirt, place Redstone/torch/sapling etc, break the top dirt, and then the gravel/sand will all drop.

 

Well personally if it would cost a lot, I personally wouldn't spend my money for something which I can find alternatives to do for free... But I guess those into building on survival would like it.... I remember how hard it was building in night time while its raining.

 

Pie answered this, I enjoy survival gameplay more than creative. I'm not going to switch my server just so I can fly all the time.

No, no it wouldnt.

And to everyone else talking about building scaffolding, ya I know.... Doesn't everyone do this?

I don't want it permanently. Nobody has to buy it, and if its expensive enough then people wouldnt use it to attack mobs because it simply wouldn't be worth the trade of rupies for exp. I take it that its glitched, thats a good reason not to use it - however there doesnt seem to be any other good reasons that good moderation and regulations wouldn't fix. If you buy it and rent it for a day and then are caught using it incorrectly it could be a long-term ban.

For me its about TIME. I can do really tedious detail work in a fraction of the time. There was a time when I had a fly mod on survival ALL the time - and I never abused it and had it for months and months. Those were the days....

 

I use it to do trim work on tall tall buildings after the initial foundations are laid... like this



And I do a lot of terraforming and mountain creating and doing the stone inlay on these overhangs is a pain... like here..

 

I uh, cried a little after I saw the second picture D: I liked arcadia better filled with ghasts and TNT >

I see no reason why we shouldn’t have something to help out people who want a little edge while building, and with proper moderation, rule breakers can be easily caught and punished.

 

Sometimes the entities of the sand or dirt glitch and you phase into them and then they push you off, so I usually just use dirt.

 

If I hold shift I don't get pushed off but I do take damage when I get glitched into a block.

Glitching certainly makes scaffolding a challenge. Like getting pushed off, falling to your death, going back for your stuff, making another tower to get back where you were. One of the reasons my giant statue remains unfinished.

 

I think he kinda means if you place blocks too fast sand tends to glitch out and knock you off because it squishes you.

Yes that does tend to happen.

It would be nice to have something like the glass carpet back or any sort of fly mod. Perhaps, in addition to paying a fee, any player wanting access to the mod should have to fill out a little "paper work" beforehand to be reviewed by an admin. Abuse of the mod should have very clear and very dire consequences.
