1.7 World Change
- Thread starter Cryptite
- Start date
I just meant that we need an explanation. I think some people would be a bit annoyed and confused if there was a massive hole in our lore :?
I'll work with each individual town on transporting things.
Suffice it to say, though, if you're town is mostly enclosed, so long as your things are in chests that are within your town's borders, it should come over fine.
As for animals, that may not work as well, but I'll see what I can do about getting those over. Animal farms, however, won't come with.

are you hoping to get a world seed with a distinct look ?
I.e. islands, or large land masses
Also, will we continue to have large bidomes?
I love the idea of Adam and Eve mooshrooms.

I've found a seed I'm happy with. The biomes will continue to be large, as for the seed beyond what I've explored (which is only about 1000 blocks in all directions from spawn), I'm letting it be random, so we'll see what we get 
Essentially, programs like WorldPainter etc don't have updates for 1.7 yet so there's no way to 'fast preview' biomes like we were able to for this current world. I'm just gonna let random chance give us a nice world. What is around the spawn is far better for starting out on the server than our current world (You start on an island plains biome with ocean all around you and no nearby trees with which to craft boats... Who let me do that?). The immediate surroundings of our 1.7 world include plains and extreme hills with oceans/swamps/forests not too far off from there.
I'm not sure how but I'll see if I'm able to transport nametagged animals. If not, I'll provide nametags for free or something.

I'm glad to hear, er... read that, as name tags are sometimes hard to get, and for town owners, how will we get to pick out new location. Do we get to fly around and choose or do we just give u a list of where and what we want and you just plunk it down and hope we like the location. If its like that, this is Minecraft, their their are no psychics. I can cause a huge natural disaster and I would just regen in health and move on about 500 blocks and do it again.
I agree that this is a good idea as long as I get to do it after everyone else's towns are over.Lazuli73 said:
To make sure that I don't take a location that suits them well, of course.
Whenever we can update the server to 1.7, the new world will come shortly thereafter.
As for finding a spot for your town, much like in the current world when we arrived, you're on your own to explore the new lands and find a suitable spot. Once you (and your town members if applicable) have picked a spot, I'll start the transfer process.

Most of those servers (Shotbow, HiveMC, etc) aren't really 'running 1.7.2'. What they've done is do some network hacks that allow people with 1.7.2 clients to join the server along with those running 1.6.4, but it does not really offer their servers much in the way of the features of 1.7.
Because bukkit has yet to even release a development build for 1.7.2, any servers like Loka or that aren't extremely customized shouldn't have 1.7 unless I'm missing something.
There are some very unstable 1.7.2 builds for spigot, which we use, but because we're going to have a new world soon, I'd like t least a sort of remotely stable build when we all venture forth rather than have a near-unplayable experience.
