Sometimes when I go on servers, my friends have already been developed a little bit and I wish to join them. However when our setups are far from the spawn, and there is no teleporting, traveling to certain coordinates can be tiresome. So as an idea, why not use...
Flares!
Flares could be used to help players locate each other without use of teleports. Teleports are not great when it comes to survival, especially when it comes to vanilla servers. Flares could be of varying color, and cause slight damage if caught in the explosion. Let me know what you think!
Great Idea, the only thing is to be able to see it you would have to be within sight of it, and then you could probably see the settlement anyway
Yeah I was just going to say this.
It's a great idea, OP, but the way the game's generation works, you'd be able to see your buds right about the same time you'd be able to see the flare. Hence, rendering it useless.
Love the idea, but I don't think it would work. Sorry.
Hang on, you know how the edge of your visibility is kinda foggy, I was thinking If a flare was fired outside your field of vision the fog in the distance would change color ex:
Also smoke flares could work too. Indians used it, why can't minecraftians, they would pretty much be giant smoke particles.
I do quite like this idea. I run a server, that started out as survival, but with teleportation, giving people stuff, I figured we might as well be playing creative. So we did. I really want to go back to the old survival ways, but the temptation to teleport, summon, etc. is just too great! Flares could be a step toward preserving the pure, survival gameplay.

If you want to say something to me, make sure you quote my post because I don't usually check back on topics.
