I am looking to make a large "megaworld". An actual WORLD with LARGE continents and LANDSCAPES. Realism included.
Server address: sfxworks.net
IRC Channel: projectworld
Website: Comming soon
What we need:
Programmers Why? For the following: Realistic water, physics, planes, mechanics (such as windmills), trains, custom/realistic ores, custom/realistic objects, custom/realistic entities, weather based systems and events, extended height.
(and I'm completely aware that there are already mods with some if not all these features out there however not every one of them are 100% compatible/updated)
More why? Custom server protocol, custom server side data storage, client side management. (Need a way to support a large sum of players with a refined protocol/data management system) (I have plans/notes on a possible way to manage it if you're interested.)
These would be digging deep into the core of minecraft so there would essentially be two types of modding teams.
Designers:
Why? I need players to design dungeons, trees, and other custom objects to be rendered across the world (vs using standard notch trees)
This can be done by anyone. So you don't have to be a programmer to hop aboard this project.
How it will work
Custom objects will be selected using world edit and saved as a schematic file. Then, using a schematic to bo2 converter, objects will be converted into the proper format for world editing. Need as many players/good artists as I can for this. Really excited to see good content across the world.
More why? Landscaping. I need players who would be willing to go into parts of the world and touch up certain areas using voxelsniperor another world editing feature.
Updates will be posted in this thread as well as new (your) designs.
I'll be donating the following towards the project: 100$+ worth in adwords A reasonable sum of money towards modders if desired web designing skills
client side-ish skills
You can contribute too!
If you would like to see a realistic world with canyons, lakes, rivers, and continent, please do!
Methods of contribution:
Advertising - We're always looking to get the word out. A good boost in popularity brings a larger array of programmers and designers!
Programming - If you have skill in modding or designing, have made a mod, or would like it featured, we're always looking for developers.
Designing - You don't have to be a skilled programmer or have money to help out! If you have a good idea, or would like to contribute your art to the world, feel free to join and help out any time!
Donation - Donations are great! They go towards the project in any way possible. Be it adwords, for advertising, or money for the programming teams!

You should definitely go to sfxworks.net and support my modpack.
Dang, this sounds seriously ambitious. Will this ultimately be a survival mode server or what? It sounds like the Dwarf Fortress of Minecraft servers.
I'm interested in designing stuff, but so far I've only done it as a player in survival mode. I haven't used any world editing tools. (I kind of like seeing what I can manage in survival mode starting from nothing just for the challenge.) But if you're really serious then I might want to contribute in this capacity. Only problem is that I won't feel like I can play as a normal player if I designed stuff in the world with an editor.....
It's pretty serious alright. I really want to do this and yes I want to make this THE main minecraft server. It will ultimately be a minecraft server but one with a real environment. As of right now im hosting a different type of world but I want to go through with this one.
