So, I've been wanting a restart of the "other" worlds for a while. Leave Vizzed Ville as it is but get fresh versions of Genrody, the Nether and the End for people to play on. Maybe even make them only accessible if you get there legitimately. Vizzed Ville and the maps associated with it are great for the builders but I think that the rest of the normal maps should be free for the survival people to use. What purpose is there to building in the Nether or the End? It cuts down on areas for the rest of us to play in.


I'd also love to build bases in these places for people to utilize and I feel that has been severely lacking. Some place that is safe for people to start from in each area. Mostly in Genrody but also in the other 2 places.


I've also been hoping to get new portals that link directly to 0,0 so they are super easy to fine your way back to.

What does everyone else think? I doubt there are many (or any) builds out in Genrody that many people care all that much about. The only thing I'll miss will be my skeleton grinder but I could build another somewhere else once I found a spawner.

So, anyone up for a reset of those areas?

   I'd love for this to happen, personally, I've quit playing mostly because it's gotten quite boring. A reset would be really refreshing. Though, I'm sure some users would be mad about losing some Nether progress and whatnot. 

   Also, is this just a request, or something highly probable of happening?

I would love to see a block on building in the Nether/End, most of those parts became innaccesible for some.

I'd hate to get rid of them all together. Maybe we could make the portals warp to entirely new locations in those worlds or maybe add multiple portals that lead to multiple locations for those worlds. I do plan to add another survival world once we upgrade to 1.8, that world would take advantage of all the new stuff added to minecraft 1.8.

thelastrequim : I'm just hoping for it to happen. It doesn't mean it will happen.

zanderlex : yeah. The end is full of crap. It's not supposed to be built in at all. You go to kill the ender dragon and that's it. Building there seems strange.

As for the nether, someone summoned a wither and it mangled the entrance area so it's barely recognizable anymore.


Davideo7 : what exactly would be lost? Okay, 1 building in The End would go that is worth even saving and the Nether is mangled.

Genrody is also pretty empty really. There are a handful of small buildings that people have made but really it's pretty empty. Most of the impressive stuff is in Vizzed Ville or other places not in the regular survival areas.

And while new locations to teleport to would be a possible solution it wouldn't actually be a fresh start.

Plus, we have no idea how long we have to wait before the 1.8 update will come. I know Dinnerbone and others have said it is going to happen but beyond them saying it is going to be updated that is about all I've seen. I'm not saying I want this to happen today but I feel like this is something worth doing, especially if an update to 1.8 is coming sooner than later.

As shown here, we plan to go 1.8 by the end of the month.

Personally, I could be in favor of a reset of Genrody, so long as there is ample warning given for those who have stuff in Genrody. Another idea could be to keep genrody as it is, and tell the portal from the new survival world to Vizzed Ville to clear inventory, creating a legitimate survival-only experience for users who like that.

mrfe : well, if we are going to 1.8 then I am willing to wait for it.

Also, I would LOVE if that were possible. The inventory wipe thing. Make the survival area a TRUE survival area. Although I would want to build a starting base area for all users to teleport safely to before we did that which would require resources. Still, I like that idea going forward. I dislike people being able to bring stuff they bought into a survival map.


OR - can I bring all the stuff I acquired in the original Genrody into the new Genrody? I would be okay with that too. I think the only thing I bought were bookshelves.



Anyway, I'm happy to hear about the 1.8 thing. Makes me very happy.

Yeah, I feel like a true survival world would be pretty fantastic. I can't speak for David, so I don't know if it'll happen, but I think it'd be nice. Inventory wipe would simply make sense for that type of world, I think.

I think it's pretty much expected that the Mods would create a safe spawnpoint in the new world, so you wouldn't have to worry about that.

Yeah, I'm stoked for 1.8 too.

mrfe : if there is going to be a safe spot to teleport to could I have some input on it? I'd like a fairly extensive location to start in and I want room to create community storage, enchanting, potion making etc.

It would allow cooperation at the starting point if people wanted to do that.


but yeah, depends on David. If it is a true survival map then I want no items to come through. If it is simply a reset then I want to build the portal entrance area myself (if that's okay).

I'm excited about this though. I feel like the server needs a refresh and 1.8 should provide that.

geeogree : I can't really promise that you can help, because I'm not the sole OP, I think it'd be great to get input from active survival mc'ers (pretty much you, lol) on the safe haven.

I'm excited, too! 1.8 will be a fantastic boost to the server!!

geeogree : Thats my building in the end.... >-> And the reason I built it there was because A - I was allowed to, B - No one else was there, so I had enough space

Anyways, I basically had the same idea that David had. Was either to just make a new survival world, not scarping the old one, or just making a portal to somewhere that chunks arent loaded for a long while. I do have to agree that maybe we should scrap the nether and just get a new one. It is pretty torn up, and there really is no use building there. The end would just be a waste of a wipe, I mean, common, My stadium is there ;P In all seriousness though, there is no point to it.

And when it comes to 1.8 soon being available, I have a few other ideas that i've been dying to do, but sadly cant get started until it's updated.

mrfe : yeah, I don't need to do it all by myself but I do want input and/or to be allowed to help in some way. I've got lots of stuff I want to be able to provide to a community of people out in the survival world.

Pokefreak219 : yeah, the End isn't a big deal but I would like to be able to take a small group to attack the ender dragon. I know it's not tough but it would be fun to achieve with a few people.

We could save the current 'The End' as a separate world, but I think that the normal 'The End' should be wiped automatically every few days.

If I remember correctly, someone killed the ender dragon within a few days when the server first came up, and then nobody else had the chance =P

EideticMemory : I like that idea! It would be fun to kill the dragon on a daily/weekly basis. Would be fun to make it a sort of regular thing.


It's stuff like the ender dragon being killed once and therefore being unkillable anymore that makes some people not want to play as much on a survival map. I want to be able to complete all the achievements.

EideticMemory :
geeogree :

On that same thought-line, we could potentially spawn harder versions of the Ender Dragon for those looking for a better challenge as well, which would be awesome. Thoughts?

We'd accomplish that by spawning the Dragon in via command blocks (I know how to do that), and simply applying effects that will boost it's health, give damage resist, or similar things. We can really do a lot with that, I think.

geeogree-
mrfe :

That is an awesome idea.

I'm down for it.
