We got horses, coal blocks and now stained glass. Now all I'm waiting for is the pink wither, super hostile mode and the angry chickens.

Now this will never work.

Quote from Lemonstudioz47 »

me and my friends came up with a very good idea to get the donations
what we will do is when we get a lot of players and they build stuff we will threaten to shut our server down for ransom so
like they have to pay $200 if they ever want to play again

so we threaten them we will shut down after they played for days.

then when we get a few grand we won't do it anymore.

Here's what the Wikipedia says about that:

Quote from Wikipedia »

In the United States, extortion may also be committed as a federal crime across a computer system, phone, by mail or in using any instrument of interstate commerce. Extortion requires that the individual sent the message willingly and knowingly as elements of the crime. The message only has to be sent (but does not have to reach the intended recipient) to commit the crime of extortion.

Also he says it will be big, yet I don't even know what it will include or even its name, he spent more time doing other stuff than even planning out the server.

Quote from Lemonstudioz47 »

we will give you big 5% donations on our server once we sky rocket

IF you skyrocket you can do that.

Can't you just settle with a small server I love small servers.

Quote from InfoTeddy

I found this six days ago:
No, all I want is to see these unneeded threads to “crash and burn”.

But thank you for the first person for the first time to think I’m a boy instead of a girl.No, you can’t. Wish that would happen, though. No more useless threads like this.Rep’d!Rep’d!

If you hate this thread and classic, 11 year old, then you hate Minecraft. Classic was the base for everything you see in today's minecraft. It is like the Magna Carta being the base for the Declaration of Independence and these guys just want to preserve it. In the case you don't want to preserve history, 11 year old, then go to the dump. We already lost cave Game, so we can't lose this.

So your saying you want to "improve the past". That's not what you're suppose to do. You are suppose to keep it the same way it is in a nice cozy case. It's like coloring on the Mona Lisa since you don't like how it looks.

Okay, here's a big mod idea. I just saw the videos by paulsoarsjr. On the Tale of Kingdoms mod, so I came with my own idea that had an idea like that mod, and also I am a WWII fan myself. Here it is, a World War 2 mod done right.

So you start off at a randomly chosen base of four different types, a German, Japanese (Axis), American and British (Allies) bases that you could end up in. When you arrive, you become a part of that bases army. Also if you become a part of the Axis, the Allies will fight you and if you become a part of the Allies, the Axis will fight you. So there are people at the base and the all carry the same amount and type of people no matter what country you’re on. There are some types of people there; here are some of them listed below.

Soldier: just an ordinary soldier, will attack other side's troops or towns if within range.
Food distributor: will give you one piece of food a day.
Quartermaster: can change night to day and day to night (you’re supposed to sleep).
Weapons Specialist: will buy and sell weapons and materials.
Local leader: will take refugees from towns to stay at the base (though you bring the refugees to him).
Chef: will buy and sell food and materials.
Financial Adviser: will hold your money and you earn interest (I will get to the money soon)
Construction Crew: will build your base when you become a commander (you half to bring the crew to the area where you want to have your base). They also are there to upgrade, build structures
Commander: commander of the base tells your path to a commander can hire and repair soldiers that will follow you and will repair the base if it is attacked. He can't die.
That's it for the people in the base, there is only one of each except for the soldier there will be 15 of them. They will be different for each country.

Now to the money, what is it? Well it is stuff you get for harvesting food, saving refugees, mining and attacking the other side’s bases and villages. These can be used at the weapon specialist to by weapons and to buy food from the chef, you can also hire soldiers from the commander. I want the price for a soldier to be $1500.

Now there is a path to commander, you can see how close you are to being a commander by going to the base's commander. It's should be a while before you become a commander. When you reach halfway, an attack will happen on the base and the commander will teleport to you and say that the base is under attack, the same when you become a commander. When you become a commander, go to the Construction Crew and you can now build your own base. You can only place one base so choose a wise place (it must be at least 100 blocks away from the base).

When your base is built, there will be a wall and the inside will be empty. This will place 20 dirt blocks under the area of the base. There will be 3 buildings outside, the first one will be for mining, the second for lumber and the third one is iron. These three resources will be used to upgrade and build structures in the base. You can hire miners and loggers to speed up the production. You can only collect when it is at 64 from the manager there. The construction crew will only take in Iron, wood planks (any kind), and stone in groups of 64. They can hold up to 640 of each item.
Here are the build you can create:
Small cabin: Small home for base refugees (can hold 2)
Medium house: Medium size home for base refugee (can hold 5)
Large Apartment: Large home for base refugee (can hold 10)
Arsenal: the area that weapons are sold bought and held. (Weapon Specialist is found here).
Market: area where all items can be bought and sold. (Find bakers (possible spies), farmers and other people here.)
Food Market and Farm: area where food is farmed, bought, sold and helps. (Chef and Food Distributor found here)
Commander's quarters: area where you live at the base
Barracks: Area where soldiers are hired and healed. (Soldiers and Quartermaster found here)
Air base: area where pilots are sent to planes to show area, attack other bases and villages, and fight incoming air attacks. You can ride in the planes. There are 3 kinds of planes:
Bomber: used in attack on other bases and villages. Do heavy damage, but are weak against fighters. (Holds 8 bombs)
Fighters: used to attack bomber, transportation planes, bases, and other fighters.
Transport planes: used to send material and goods to the first base, drop soldiers on the other side’s bases (how your base is attacked when you become at the half way point and when you become a commander), send soldiers to the base and send refugees to your base. You can fly out of these planes and the pilot will send it back to base. They can hold up to you and 18 stacks of 64 materials, you and 10 other soldiers or refugees.
Anti-Aircraft turrets: used to shoot down enemy planes, will never shoot friendly planes.
Stock Market: able to put money on items and earn money if the stock goes up. The stock goes from 0 to 1000 money. The stock market man is here and
Hospital: area where potions of healing, regeneration, and food is here. You can hire a field medic here to heal both the soldiers and you when you’re away from the base.
Spy quarters: area to hire spies to search for enemy bases.
Naval Station: Is where ships are built. There are 5 kinds of ships.
Battleship: does heavy damage to anything it fire’s at, but weak against bombers.
Aircraft carriers: carry all types of planes, but no weapons to defend it.
Submarine: used to defeat ships from below. You need a clearance of 5 blocks of water to fit in and 15 blocks below water to be undetectable.
Invasion ships: Like the ones at Normandy, you use this to carry troops and supplies across water.
` Cargo ships: used to send refugees and materials across water

That’s it for your base’s infrastructure; some structures will have to be locked until you upgrade the base. The base’s style should get better as you upgrade (from gravel roads to roads that are made of iron blocks). The walls will get bigger, wider and have more towers. It should only upgrade when you put down all of the basic buildings. It should cost about 320 of each resource to upgrade the base to include more structures. Also all structure will be different depending on country.
Enemy bases are tough to defeat, but easy to attack. Here are the ways you can attack the base from best to worst:

Using transport Planes, invasion ships and people on the ground and with all available planes, ships and soldiers.
Using transport planes and parachuting down on the base from up top with many soldiers and bombers
Using transport ships to land on water and battleships to take out the walls.
Using bombers and fighters to take out the base
Using unsupported Invasion ships to sneak attack on the base
Just going in the front door of the base

When an enemy base is destroyed, you can use the construction crew to rebuild the base and it becoming your, but it will be like the original base and you can’t upgrade them. This also goes to the enemy’s towns.

Now for the towns. There are 4 types of them depending on country and if an opposing side's soldier comes near one, it will attack it until the soldier is dead. Plus, golems will not work, so if the population of a town is 20 or if you try to create one, it will not work. Now they will not always kill the town's people so you can rescue them.Also the people have a player style shape. what you do with them is return them to the original base or to your base's houses. When they come to your base, they can be used as workers in the 3 buildings that create resources if you give them the appropriate tools. You will earn money for bringing them to the bases. You can also just rebuild the towns for the town's people. you can trade with them, but it will be with money rather than emeralds. There are 5 kinds of town's people:

• Mayor: leader of the town, will trade elegant items such as quartz. One per town.
• Policemen: protectors of the town. Will attack soldiers, but are weaker.
• Worker: will trade tools.
• Citizen: just a random citizen can be of both gender.
• ​Farmer: farms. Will trade food.

​That's it for the towns and they are a good part of the game.

Now I want this game to work for multiplayer, I want it to have two options for multiplayer. The first option is to play with friends on the same side. The other option for multiplayer is to have friends be on opposing sides and fight against each other.

That’s it for the WWII mod, I hope you enjoy the idea and make a mod of it. See you later.
Also another thing that the server is up, but it just started and nothing there is built yet and the name is now Crestocity. So that’s it for the mod and the server and I’ll see you later.

Quote from JordiTheShorty

well the butter idea is in production see my post it is a little older than this one and it just dosent add butter go check out my post it is called the butter dimension

Okaayy, well that sounds good.

Welcome to this fine establishment. In case you're wondering, this bar&grill exists in ALL dimensions. This means that you can be whatever you'd like to be. Have a favorite OC of yours? Go right ahead. Everyone is welcome.

The way this place works is a mystery, but in every universe there is exactly one door leading into this bar. Whether you accidentally found that door or somehow came upon the address is up to you. Once you're inside, a protective field keeps you from accidentally exiting into any other dimension besides your own. You can only exit into another world with permission from Ulti, the bar itself, or someone from that world.

The inside of the bar looks as follows. The floor is made of 12” thick temperature-proof glass with lava under it. The bar counter is wood and decorated with a double-helix patter carved into the front. Behind the bar are shelves stocked with various bottles, as well as machines used for cooking and brewing. The chairs and tables look like they’re from a medieval tavern. In one corner is the large contraption known as the “respawn machine.” In another, there are stairs leading up to the rentable rooms. Each room has an enchanting table, an alchemy table, a weapon rack, an armor stand, and a workbench, as well as the usual bead, desk, chair, and nightstand. Special requests can be made.

Special thanks

[spoiler=Tl:dr]Q: Won't this increase lag?
A: Absolutely not. The title of this suggestion and big red letters at the top of this post aren't lying. If you want to know how, then I suggest you actually read this post.

Q: Will this change terrain? Will this break existing worlds?
A: No. Terrain change is not necessary. Existing worlds can be converted fairly easily with a process described later in this post.

Q: How can sunlight or rain work with infinite vertical space?
A: I suggest you read Coping with sunlight, because it's too complex for a tl;dr.

Q: I have a different question but still don't feel like reading this post. What do I do?
A: Too bad, read the FAQ. I put way too much work into this for the entirety of it to be ignored.[/spoiler]

Overview:

In Minecraft, the sky is the limit - literally. It doesn't matter how many thousands of blocks a player has traveled, or what dimension they're in, or even if they're playing in creative or survival, the highest they can ever build is up to a height of 256. Why is that? If Minecraft can have a world that's infinite in the north, in the south, in the east, and in the west, why can't that world be infinite up and down too?

In Minecraft's earliest days, in Classic and Indev, the world was not infinite in any direction. This was because the entire world needed to be generated at the same time, and the entire world needed to be simulated at the same time as well. This led to a conundrum - the bigger the world, the more it lagged.
Notch didn't like this. He knew his players liked to explore and build large creations, so he found a way to make the world truly infinite. When the Minecraft '' class='bbc'>Infdev came out, it brought with it truly infinite worlds. Suddenly, players could travel hundreds of thousands of blocks in any direction, and never encounter a barrier, or become too laggy.
The Infdev update brought about a very large change to Minecraft worlds to accomplish this feat. For the first time, instead every world being just a single huge piece, they were broken up into a two-dimensional grid of pieces, called chunks. Through breaking the world up into pieces, this 'chunk system' enabled infinite worlds by letting Minecraft create new pieces and simulate them only when it needs to.

Why does that not apply to the vertical axis? Because the type of 'chunk system' Minecraft uses right now is a linear one, which, by using only a two-dimensional grid to map out chunks, means that it is impossible for chunks to stack on top of one another, and by extension, meaning that a single chunk must cover the entire vertical space. This brings back the problem that the Infdev update was supposed to eradicate, now only with chunks, instead of an entire world; the bigger a chunk is, the more laggy it is. You can't just increase the height limit and make chunks taller, because it will become laggier, and laggier, and laggier to do it.
That's why, to fix this, Minecraft must change over to a cubic chunk system. Under this system, 16³ block chunks are aligned on a three-dimensional grid, completely eliminating maximum height as an aspect of lag.

The immediate benefits:
•Minecraft worlds become as virtually infinite vertically as they are horizontally: The absolute limit being Y = ±30,000,000.
•A large FPS increase: Alpha testers report an FPS increase of 100~200%.
•Increase in running capability: Computers running Minecraft on Tiny render distance will handle only 30% the blocks they do now.

The possible features:
•Spherical render/load distance: Reduce handled blocks by up to 30% by cutting corners made of unneeded chunks.
•Server chunk occlusion/exclusion: Reduce bandwidth usage and defeat hackers by only sending data for visible chunks.
•Three-dimensional biomes: Save biome data per chunk rather than per block column, create volcanoes with magma chambers, underground rivers, tropical skylands floating over icy taigas, and more.

The disadvantages:
•Unloaded gravity-pause: Falling non-player entities and fluids will be forced to pause their fall if they reach unloaded chunks, but will resume falling when those chunks are loaded.
•Slow falling-pause: Players with slower computers and smaller render distances will have falling occasionally paused as they fall into unloaded chunks, until new chunks can be loaded.

The problems:
•Current sunlight and rain calculation methods cannot work with infinite vertical space: The solution to this is described here.
•Current BiomeDecorator cannot work with multiple vertical chunks simultaneously: The BiomeDecorator code must be altered to function correctly with this, or removed.
•Current cave generation method is executed an extra time for each vertical chunk created simultaneously, leading to lag spikes on world generation: Cave generation's method must be altered to suit this system more.
•Current grass/dirt generation algorithm forces additional chunk requests when chunks are loaded, causing chunks to load slower than they should: This algorithm must be replaced with something else.

Changes in how things work:

Obviously, the implementation of this new chunk system will change quite a few things. These changes are mostly either necessary or in the interest of increased efficiency. Such changes are categorized and explained below.

How worlds will be stored:
[spoiler]How the current storage works, and what changes:
Interestingly enough, the current method of storage, the Anvil format, is derived from the storage method that the original Cubic Chunks mod used. The Anvil format stores individual chunk as a series of 16³ quasi-cubic chunks. These 'fake' cubic chunks allow for easier reference of specific data, but they still can't be separated from each other, meaning that it fails to reap the full benefits of this system. Even so, the change allowed Mojang to double the maximum height with no performance hit. Chunks are stored in groups of 32², inside 'MCRegion' files, for a total of 1024 chunks.
By nature, cubic chunks does away with the 'quasi-cubic' nonsense. In terms of chunk grouping, instead of using groups of 32³ chunks, new "3DRegion" files would contain groups of 16³. This means each 3DRegion file contains 4096 chunks, four times as many as MCRegion files. However, each 3DRegion contains only one fourth the amount of blocks. For per-chunk positional metadata, 3DRegion files would use the same number of bits as MCRegion files, after compression. Calculations show that the same area encompassed by a single MCRegion file would consume 64 kilobytes of extra space with 4 3DRegion files, which is nothing.

Converting existing worlds:
Most people are probably wondering something like "But won't this totally destroy all existing worlds?". Absolutely not; conversion could not be simpler. When a non-cubic world is loaded after the implementation of this system, a conversion process will begin and convert the entire world at once(To avoid making chunk loading take longer during play). First, all existing MCRegion files will be divided into quarters to create 3DRegion files. Then, all existing chunks are divided into sixteenths using the quasi-cubic properties to identify boundaries. After that, conversion is done.

The "isEmpty" flag optimization:
A 1-bit flag is added to each chunk, named "isEmpty". If the chunk consists of 100% air blocks, this bit is 1, any other case makes it 0. When the bit is 1, all data for the chunk besides the isEmpty flag is deleted and ignored, which reduces filesize. Empty chunks are never loaded, and locations where they occur are merely simulated as entities reside in them. The chunk will only load when something requires saving inside it.[/spoiler]

Changes to terrain, ores, etcetera:
[spoiler]Terrain:
By default, nothing will change. Small bits of terrain generation code need to be reconfigured to work properly with Cubic Chunks.

Biomes:
By default, nothing will change.

Ore generation:
By default, nothing will change.

Structures:
By default, nothing will change.

The Void:
After conversion to Cubic Chunks, the void and bedrock layer will still exist and generate as they always have. However, the void(Not the bedrock layer!) will not exist as a hard limit and is able to be moved, but not removed, by editing an associated NBT data tag inside a world's level.dat. This feature, that allows for increasing the maximum depth, is intentionally disabled without external programs, to prevent terrain change of any sort. It is intended to be used by experienced mapmakers and world generation mods only.

Superflat settings:
Existing superflat worlds will not change. However, new superflat worlds will gain a new decoration parameter, 'void'. Inclusion of this parameter will cause the void to form below the lowest defined layer. Exclusion of it will cause all layers below the lowest defined layer to copy the settings of that layer.[/spoiler]

Coping with sunlight:
[spoiler]There used to be a solution here, but it wasn't deemed good enough by Jeb. Suggest solutions in this thread.[/spoiler]

Changes to servers:
[spoiler]Settings:
There's a setting inside the Server.properties file called 'max-build-height'. The setting makes it impossible for any player to place or remove blocks above that height.
With the implementation of Cubic Chunks, a new setting named "maximum-generation-depth" would be added. The void, bedrock layers, and magma layers will generate normally at and above the Y level designated by the value of this setting.

Chunk occlusion/exclusion:
Using the raytracing methods already available in the code and used for explosion calculations, servers can identify which chunks are visible to a player, within safe assumptions, and only send the data for those chunks. This both reduces bandwidth usage, and cripples the usefulness of X-Ray cheats.[/spoiler]

Render/Load distance alterations:
[spoiler]After the implementation of Cubic Chunks, view distances' radii will apply to the vertical axis too. This reduces handled blocks in the cases of tiny and short render distances, and increases them in the cases of normal and far render distances. This can be optimized by utilizing a spherical render distance instead of a cubic one, which would reduce handled blocks in all distances except Far.[/spoiler]

Frequently Asked Questions:

[spoiler=FAQ]Q: This is impossible.
A: No it's not. See below.

Q: Is this available as a mod?
A: Not yet! But it will be!

Q: I like X-ray! What if I don't want it to be broken?
A: First of all, breaking X-ray hacks will only be possible to do in multiplayer. That said, the system that would break X-ray would be possible to disable by the server owner. If the owner doesn't disable the system, then they don't want you using X-ray, and you should not be doing what the server owner doesn't want in the first place.

Q: I play on a PvP/Anarchy/Raid/Faction server. Won't this system let people pillar up into the sky and create a base thousands of blocks in the air and never be found?
A: No.

Q: I like Minecraft's current height limits. What if I don't want to have an infinite sky or infinite underground?
A: If this system is added, all worlds will not automatically gain an infinite underground. As stated below, the Void will remain in all worlds, even after the conversion to Cubic Chunks. The ability to remove the Void will simply be there. As for infinite space in the sky, the current build limit is over one hundred blocks above any terrain that vanilla Minecraft can possibly generate. It is ENTIRELY your decision on whether or not you take advantage of this height. If you play on a server, like stated above, the server owner can set a maximum build height. If s/he doesn't, then don't play on their server - you don't play on servers where the server owners allow things you don't like. Why would you play on an anarchy server if you hate being stolen from and killed?

Q: Will this affect Redstone at all?
A: No. This system will simply make it possible to make larger redstone circuitry than before.

Q: Won't this break existing worlds?
A: No. Existing worlds can be easily converted by dividing each MCRegion file into 4 pieces, then slicing the existing 256 block-high chunks inside them into 16 individual chunks.

Q: Won't this affect mods? Won't mod authors have a hard time updating their mods?
A: The answer to this question depends solely on the answer to the following two questions: Do parts of the modification code rely on chunk data/metadata? Does the mod author want to take advantage of the features of the new chunk system? If the answers to the first and second question are both "No", then updating a mod to this system should be very easy and quick. If the answer to the first question is "Yes", then those parts of the code will need to be rewritten somewhat, but in most cases, the changes should be fairly quick and easy. The only time that it should be hard to update a mod to this system, is if the answer to the second question is "Yes".

Q: Won't this require a total rewrite of the mod API if that's released first?
A: No. Whether or not even a small part of the mod API needs to be rewritten depends on the way that it is implemented and whether or not there are API inclusions for chunk handling and other chunk-related behavior.

Q: Could a player fall into unloaded chunks if chunks aren't loaded fast enough?
A: No, they could not, and for several reasons. Minecraft has a terminal velocity, though it might not seem like it. This velocity is slower than it should take to load new chunks below the player. In cases with exceptionally slow computers, even if the player did manage to reach an unloaded chunk, their fall would be paused until that chunk can be loaded.

Q: What would happen when water, sand, or a mob falls into an unloaded chunk?
A: Nothing. The water/sand/mob would freeze in place until the chunk is loaded and it can continue moving. You can already see this same thing happening on the horizontal axis.

Q: What will happen to the Void?
A: It will still exist, along with all its effects. The only difference is that the Void is no longer a hard limit and it can be moved. After the conversion to Cubic Chunks, the Void's location will be stored in a world's ' class='bbc'>level.dat, and this location can be changed with NBT editing tools. When and where the Void exists, chunks will cease to generate.

Q: Will this affect terrain?
A: No. However, terrain generators will gain the ability to use infinite height.

Q: Will this affect ore generation?
A: No. Ore is a part of terrain generation. As stated above, terrain will not be changed.

Q: Won't all current terrain generators be incompatible with this system and need to be rewritten?
A: No. Terrain generators work independently of chunks. When a chunk is generated for the first time, it calls the terrain generator and receives a specific section of the resultant terrain to save inside itself. Because of this, some custom terrain generators can generate steep terrain all the way to Y256, where you can experience a large, flat cut-off. Since there are no chunks above Y256 to call the terrain generator for terrain, no terrain exists there.

Q: What would happen if there's a huge solid ceiling so far above you that it is unloaded? Wouldn't you just see the sky, just with everything being completely dark?
A: Yes. This already happens on the horizontal axis, and it is an issue with sky rendering, not this chunk system. As such, this has nothing to do with this suggestion. Please do not post about this.

Q: If you go deep underground, will your plants grow/ores smelt/animals grow?
A: No, because those chunks would be unloaded, just as if you had walked far away. This is a flaw with any chunk system, regardless of shape. It is a necessary evil that allows Minecraft to have infinite worlds. The only way to fix this would be to introduce a separate new system that works with chunks as they are loaded and unloaded. This suggestion deals with the chunk system itself, and not sister processes. Because of that, that is outside of the scope of this suggestion. Please do not post about this.[/spoiler]

[WIP] The Cubic Chunks Mod! (Tall Worlds Mod):

Cuchaz has taken it upon himself to bring us the glorious Cubic Chunks, since Mojang refuses to do so.

Cuchaz is using a API of his own creation to help assist in the making of this mod, and he's quite far along, as seen in these two tech demo videos:
[spoiler=T-Demo 1: Vertical chunk loading][/spoiler]
[spoiler=T-Demo 2: Broken height cap and no lag!][/spoiler]
With the basic functionality in place - a complete overhaul of the basic chunk system, and height limit removed - this whole concept can already be considered proven. What remains is making sure everything else functions correctly under the new chunk system. In any case, stay tuned for future updates if it interests you(If it doesn't, then you are the weakest link - goodbye!).

You can follow the mod's development in much more depth in its very own topic!

Please help us get word out of this suggestion! Share this with your friends, with Minecraft celebrities if you're familiar with them, or even with Mojangsters like Jeb or Dinnerbone! (Do not share this with Notch. Notch doesn't work with Minecraft anymore.)

The purpose of this suggestion is to have Cubic Chunks implemented in Vanilla. Being available as a modification does not fulfill that purpose. The modification featured in this suggestion is to act as a proof-of-concept only(Note: Its being featured here is to act as a proof-of-concept. The modification itself is on its way to becoming a fully fledged modification).
