I really like this idea. A good addition would be the ability to add certain players to a "watch list" of sorts, this would replace the yellow dot that simply indicates a player with a different colored one. A key on the edge of the map would indicate which colored dot represented who. You could add your whole clan to this list, and any yellow dots would indicate rouge players in the area.
But in order to prevent a player being added to this against his/her will, when the person controlling the table adds the player to the list, the person to be added would receive a message in the text box asking the player if he wishes to be added to said list. If not, the player will be removed from the list and, to prevent spamming, could not be asked again for...2 real days? The person should also have a way to be removed from the list, but how this would work I don't know.
I suppose the map would need a limited-but-large range. Perhaps using certain items on it could increase this?

Another Idea, adding a compass to it adds a compass on the map, indicating North/South/East/West and the starting spawn locations as well as the spawn locations of the player and other players on his list.

I like your ideas.
The Planning Table is a local item, it will only see and update things on the map. I think it could be possible to color code the player dots with a GUI.
I also like the compass, but looking at the clouds or having one at hand is more efficient and mobile right? Besides, I'd have to make a compass model.
Awesome! But the thing with teleporting is really overpowered and so is the thing with seeing all mobs and players in the area.
Maybe for teleports we could have it so it also spawns 3 creepers i a creeper triagle around yo whe you teleport so there a chance to die. So its not too OP

That's underpowered. I think it should merely make you take 6 hearts of damage, double the pearl's normal 3. :wink.gif:

I don't think the teleport is too op because you would have no way to get back aside from walking, although this would only be useful for a server where everybody is on the same side. But if you are fighting with other people, perhaps you could make a block that would prevent them from teleporting within a certain distance of that block? You could bury these along the land to hide them and create a vast area nobody could teleport into. Of course this wouldn't affect spawns/nether/aether portals or prevent people from teleporting OUT of an area, as well as player commands (mods still need to moderate? amirite?)
I see a slight error with the tracking on the map, 1 pixel represents an 8x8 block so really you could have several people in that 1 8x8 square and not know whether there are 1 or 10 people there

Admins could just place these anti-teleports around the place.. Sure I like where your idea's going. I'll try adding your ideas to the OP.

Well this is an unexpected side effect, thanks for pointing out. This is a good way to hamper the all seeing eye of the Planning Table.
I once read somewhere on the Minecraft Wiki that Notch planned to make maps place-able onto walls.
I guess if that's gonna be implemented someday, then this won't.

*chuckles darkly, fixes glasses*
Well..
*Suddenly throws dagger to the wall*
Notch is.. "gone" as the boss right? I wonder what happened, or what "will" happen to him hehe..
But seriousness this has more uses that simply map placement.
This is a very good suggestion. You have support from me 100% of the way.

I beat two super hostile maps, see of flame 2 and spellbound, have to finish more. Plan to do inferno mines for lulz and win when it goes out. Have fun!
I have an idea for the 1 pixel seeing a 8x8 area problem it is to put a zoom button on a GUI and have it select a select an area, you could do this by having a person right click on the map which brings up the GUI.
I think it gives a nice side effect while walking with a group.
"Dude, lets stick together. Someone with a Planning Table can see as as one person, we could have the advantage."
In combat this would encourage single units or groups.
This seems like a great idea, however, I do not like the crafting recipe, it's slightly complicated for Minecraft.
I don't know about that though... You see that much technical stuff has some simple requirements. I can't go suggest a new crafting table for this one item, I just split it up a bit.
Criticism The Idea (Comment on it):
You have some nice ideas but you're cramming too much into one object. What if I just wanted to write notes? I'd have to build the whole thing I don't even want.
I don't like the idea of all the tracking and monitoring, that's too much power.
The Thread Format: The pictures and descriptions:
You go on about how bad they are too much, they aren't that bad, you made an effort :biggrin.gif:
Maybe each separate part can be made, or just make it possible for sticking paper on walls or something or make books write-able. Tracking and monitoring is just a primitive way of a Satellite. It's not perfect.

As stated above.
Thank you. Even a single supporter can get people a long way.
I thank all my supporters. I've never felt this much love! My heart's gonna explode!
Just kidding, though I REALLY thank you guys.
Thank you, friend!

Like my content? Give a little +1 for support. I do the same.
