    I randomly had this cool idea of what the mining world spawn could be. Instead of on top, it could be underground, in a massive cave. This could reduce the speed of the mining world being depleated. Since its underground, people would generally stay close to spawn, and thoughs who decide to dig up, would be able to still continue as if it were the old way. Maybe even make the spawn look like a settlement or something, lol. I don't know just a thought, maybe if not this exactly, people could comment and improve upon it?

    I mean, the mining world is strictly for getting ores, so it's okay that it gets destroyed. If it were in a cave, that'd make it easier for people to just /warp mining and be like, "Ooh, iron!" All this would do is make a bunch of staircases to the surface, or 1x1 towers.

    i was thinking about this too, but would be a lot more work. A village theme would look nice though.
    most importantly the mining needs to be reset, not cause there is no ores, because there no land :p

    It may be alot of work, but in turn could look very cool. You have a point about the 1x1 towers, but maybe to combat it, there could be 2 directons to take;

    North: This is a tunnel that leads deeper into excavation an ultimatley, the underground mine.

    South: A Staircase all the way to the surface, this can lead to a premade village that the architects(Or future ones ;) ) could make.


    Idk, or maybe no village, and just a staircase to the surface. Ideas?

    I mean, it'd be cool, but the staff has a lot more important things to work on before a mining world spawn. I think it's fine as it is now.

    What about, perhaps, holding a contest to see who can build the nicest spawn, assuming we get Max's approval?

    Yeah, and after a staircase is made, people would just go up to the top and disregard the new spawn as if it was never changed; makes this useless.And it would be some work redoing it, especially making it underground, too much in my opinion that wouldn't help significantly...

    I like the idea of making if look nicer, because it would look nicer. However, the mining world is for people to get blocks from and ultimately destroy, so worrying about how spawn looks when the rest of the world looks like the Terran editor had a mental breakdown is pointless. Unless we have people who will actually make the new spawn I don't see this being done any time soon if ever, and even if somebody makes the spawn it may never be used. This will be more work for our admins, and in my opinion not needed.

    Yes, and thank you for hitting several of the main reasons why mining spawn will probably stay as it. I was just giving all the reasons I know of and backing up what you guys already said. :)

    Side note: Remember to go to mining to destroy the terane for blocks. Somebody took a bunch of sand from peaceful spawn and it looks wretched.
