Hmm, that would be good, I'm sure it would be possible
World dimensions? I was thinking about 3,800x3,800

Also, can you change spawn point once ingame, coz you cant chose where it is in this

yes you can change spawns, and 5000x5000 is what we have now, and some people think that's small, so maybe stick with it or go higher, not lower!

5 faction islands?

Completionist

How about a limited number of factions in game? This would prevent having a load of tiny factions/Ensures factions stay alive and would also mean a faction gets an island each.

I would suggest 8 islands if possible within your design Xenon.

If we still enforce the 5 member limit and have some of the 1 man factions merge then we are beyond 5 faction island.

Edit: Set Spawn is under the Height button.

This is it so far. Obviously I will add more features/biomes etc.

So is this happening? Are we doing a map reset for this

If we are I suggest having a huge jungle in the centre

Well there is no word from Dec yet but I can't see why we shouldn't :pac:

How about a large crater in spawn to be used as a spleef arena for non factions pvp?

It's not official, but it's fun making the map anyway.

So, thoughts?

Good base to work with.

Islands seem to be fairly sized and relatively equal except for 2, Which seems to be a bit larger than the rest.

Its not game-changingley larger than the rest, you have to remember that larger island = more space for resources etc, but also more space to have to defend.

Well done xen, I am loving this custom map!!! Keep it up!

Xenon560

I just tried the map out in minecraft.
Atm the water is boring, so ill plot loads of tiny islands everywhere.

But the faction islands ended up being about 400x400, is tht too large?

No it sounds good, i'd rather have them too big than too small, It would be really interesting if they were mountains :P

Tell me what you think on the biome positions. Obviously I will try and add as many as possible on the spawn island too.
I will ofcourse add mountains etc. to faction islands but plan to maybe leave them all as "plains" biome?

Island 4 may be a bit stuck with lack of wood cos of the desert biome beside them. Maybe add a forest to theirs?

Completionist

Mainland:

Swap the position of the jungle/swamp.
Add a small strip of forest biome between the swamp and snow/mountain biome
Add a small plains biome between the forest and desert biome

Faction Islands:

Have them all with small forests and a relatively normal looking surface with hills/mountains as they are around 400x400 and have space for some normality.

Other Islands:

Have some smaller islands scattered around with some random biomes, Such as mountain islands, Swamp islands, Desert islands.

Why shouldn't it?

It was the plan before the server went live to have a custom map however the tools were not updated in time.

Xenon560

Even if it doesn't, I have no problem making the map.
Could maybe even just use it for the survival map if we go back

Ehh depends on what kind of file it is and the size

I assume its the map you've been making.

You could store it in your dropbox, make it public and post the link
