Hi all. I've been wanting to create an island themed server that uses Terrain Control for some time now. I have a boatload (har har) of ideas that have just been on the back burner, as I haven't been playing minecraft lately. What I'm looking for is help with plugins/plugin management, map ideas, dungeon/treasure/landmark building, as well as some moderators. If you think a gigantinormous ocean filled with tons of unique islands, dungeons, and treasure is an awesome idea, then post here or send me a message.
Dungeon islands: more or less inspired by windwaker, these dungeons have an entrance on the surface and extend deep underground and are filled with traps, monsters and loots. Larger dungeons are protected from players, but smaller dungeons will be unprotected.
Treasure maps: The ocean is a big place. It would take years for people to scour every island and every inch of the ocean floor, and will have much better luck with a map. Treasure maps are created at the location of the treasure, so that when a player holding the map comes within range of the maps original spot, they will see themselves appear on the edge of the map and will know they are close to the treasure.
Land protection: Protect yer booty! I would like for players to be able to buy their own island, so we will be using some kind of land protection system, but not a free one. Can't have people claiming every land mass they find.
Custom monsters/drops: It's a secret.
Custom ore spawn rates: Some types of islands will be more enriched than others. Possibly, oceans will not contain any diamonds or gold at all.
Added function for gold tools: this has worked out well on all my previous servers. Using gold tools provides improved drop chances for ores and such
A little back story on myself; I've hosted several servers in my day; an island server, a jungle server, and a desert server, all with custom terrain. I like to deviate from the norm, and I always try to create a unique experience that takes full advantage of mods, and gives players a break from the usual minecraft terrain and gameplay. I am relatively skilled in Terrain Control, and have basic knowledge of plugin installation and management. I had some friends in the past who were helping me with server management, but they since moved on to other games, and hosting a server by oneself is overwhelming, to say the least
Anyway, thanks for reading, and if you have any questions or comments or suggestions or anything, let me know.
