Me and my friend sort of just came up with this idea, so it'll be rough around the edges, but it seems pretty cool!
In Minecraft 1.8, there is Survival mode and creative mode. I think there were rumors of an RPG mode that would be added, but I'm not completely sure.
I was thinking that an RPG mode should be added to Minecraft (as a mod, because I'm not sure if Notch/Jeb will do it :tongue.gif:)
-----------------------------------------------------
What I was thinking:
- No destroying most types of blocks:
I was thinking it would seem more RPGish to have to find your way out of a cave rather than be able to mine your way out, a real person wouldn't be able to :tongue.gif:
You can still cut down trees, but when you break a log of a tree, the whole thing comes down (for realism)
- No block placement
I think in this mode, only things such as ladders, torches, etc. should be able to be placed.
- New generation
For this mode, a lot more caves with openings and things such as strongholds should generate more often.
- Leveling up system for what you do:
I think it would be cool to level up in things you do, such as leveling up in archery skill for using the bow frequently
Being able to unlock things such as the ability to get rid of dirt (limited as i explain further down) after a certain level.
Building up your character is always fun :smile.gif:
- Limited Mining and digging
I think it would be cooler to add a lot of time to the digging and mining, to make it seem like more of a process than a small second. And when you dig something, you won't collect the drop. When you mine stone, you have a small chance of collecting the drop, ores will drop though.
Adding a lot more time to mining and digging makes it so it feels real, a man can't dig out of a huge cave in a minute, it will take a very long time for that
This will encourage exploring out of the cave, rather than just digging out.
- NPC villages that you can purchase supplies at
- Tents and blueprints
It isn't very realistic for a man to create a giant mansion without any help and with weak resources, or a hut with sand walls.
You can purchase tents and blueprints that, when place, (if there is enough room) a pre-made house will be created if you have the required amount of recources.
----------------------------------------------------------
Those are just my ideas, I know it's minecraft but it'd be cool to have a mode like that (or something similar)
If there is something like this already out there that would be epic!
Floating Resource
Can you thrive among these islands?
This is a map I made, it is inspired by many maps, such as the super hostile series, or a more recent inspiration, Skyblock.
It features a series of islands that each have things you require to thrive in the land.
It is in a very early alpha stage, it still has the mainland nearby and there might be some flaws, but I tried :tongue.gif:
You start on the island with the tree, you get a chest full of what seems to be a random assortment of junk, but if you have fair minecraft knowledge, you can succeed.
I made this because I wanted to do a floating island, but not only one, I want the players to see a different island in the distance and be curious about it, to go there and find what it holds. Always having a mission.
It's fairly simple. It is designed to see what experienced Minecraft players can do in an odd environment.
I will update this thread more when I have time to update things, I just wanted to get this out there.
I'm sorry, I'm a noob to the thread editor XD : Please forgive me
My Minecraft Name: XXCraftermanXX
Which Worlds am I interested in: I'll play both but I'm most interested in the pvp one
How often do I play: Often, but I do a lot of other things so I never have a certain amount of playtime.
Description: Oh man, I'm on the hunt for the perfect server, or at least one without obvious problems (sounds easy to find but it's not really) I hope I can find a really fun experience in this server.
Any other credentials: I've been playing Minecraft for a while, I'm really into it. I love to pvp, pvp+ plugin sounds cool, like it generates less rage but at the same time a fun experiance.
:tongue.gif:
Impossible to get all achievements without spawning items.
you havent supplied us with seeds which makes it impossible(ad far as im aware)to make a wheat farm
You have to know more about minecraft to survive.
This really isn't for the people who are missing knowledge for Minecraft.
you use bonemeal on the grass to get tall grass, which you obtain seeds from.
Try looking at other posts on this forum, there are a lot of people helping.

What do you expect from us?*:I expect a fun pvp experiance. One that keeps me on the edge, but not generating a lot of rage. I like pvp servers that are organized and not confusing. That don't encourage building big forts, instead building small bases that won't generate a lot of rage when destroyed. Overall, I just want a fun pvp experiance that is organized.
What should we expect from you*?:You should expect fair and respectful play from me. No complaining about things that were clearly stated in the thread. And generally a respectful attitude from me.

Why do you want to be a Helper?: I like helping people that are new to servers, sometimes it's not easy adapting to a new server. I usually take the role of mod or unofficial helper on many other servers I have played on. I also like to help any other people with problems :tongue.gif:
Have you been Mod on any other server's?: Yes, I've been moderator and helper on many other servers.
How long will you be on?: I can get on in my free time after school. *after 3:30 PM Eastern US time*

One that provides fun, action, and an overall casual experiance. I love pvp though. And I'm generally a respectful player.

Minecraft is heading for a different look.
And not one that I had hoped for it to have. New features are becoming more like gum, rather than a desert they used to be (figure of speech)
The new features are cool for a short while, then they become a thorn in the side rather than what they were all decked up to be.
The old updates actually had purpose and blended, and didn't give minecraft a strangerish feeling.
To me, the updates are like mods. They are cool to have for a short while, but later become not essential.
Man, I kind of liked the planks being only one color. They kind of just threw them in there lol. I'm just annoyed because I always like to stick to the old ways
But I'm sure I'll find many uses for these new plank colors, I was kind of expecting them anyways. But they should definitely have every other plank-made item be color-relative too. Because then it will just look weird. If they went as far as to make color-relative sticks and crafting tables, I would love it.
Ok, I see that this could possibly be used on RARE occasions in classes that have abundant computers. I don't think that minecraft could be used for extensive learning at all. But maybe if the teacher has some time, they could use this. An example would be: if they're learning about a civilization, they could have a pre-built map of that kind of civilization and have signs around that have facts on them that the students roam around and find. Maybe it could be used as a way to exercise the mind with puzzle maps. These activities would be more useful for lower grades though. I think people at high schools or higher wouldn't gain much benefit from this. This is a good idea though and I want to see if it can come out successful.
