So... I was fantasising(this looks like it's spelt wrong, but it isn't!) about what kinds of Multi-Player experiences I would (ideally) like to see for MC. Now, I haven't gone on any servers, yet, to experience what kinds of MC games are out there (maybe this weekend?)
Anyway, I was thinking what would be a really cool MP type experience that would severely limit griefing if done in Vanilla MC (maybe as a server option...) and game up with this:
Land Claim - A Multi Player mode
The basic rules are simply this:
Everyone spawns near the same place, which is a 128x128x128 unclaimable terratory - it can only be changed by an OP
Everyone comes with a claim they can place once ever.
When someone finds a spot they like - they lay down their claim and they (and only they) can edit that section of the map (a 128x128x128 section)
Griefing is (largely) eliminated because only the claim owner and OPs can change the contents of their claim. Players can still go about murdering eachother, but this can also be changed in existing server settings.
Some cool things that might come out of this: 1. Trade - people will have resources limited to what's in their 128^3 chunk - so to get better stuff they need to trade.
I know nothing about Mods, but from what I read - it might be quite doable as a mod...
EDIT - PS. If, by chance, anyone has done this already, and has a server - lemme know, I would love to check it out!
This wouldn't be too difficult to program. It would however require a change in the format for the chunk files to allow them to save "owner" details with the chunk. Overall, I support.
I like this. But what about being able to get more 'flags' to increase the area you can claim. Maybe you can only spawn them in using creative like command blocks so that only an Op could give them out?
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Humanity is the creation of Logic and Emotion, Calculation and Imagination, Cold Analysis and Blind Faith. This is why I believe it is a strange Human that would prize one while shunning the other. For a calculator can do math just as well as you, but a calculator can not use math to make the world a better place.
This would make countless problems. You can't really limit grief that much without severely limiting play experience People would claim random areas, people would not be able to claim enough land, there will be claimed spots everywhere Actually, the whole point of this, not being able to do anything in another person's area, is a bad thing as it is. There are MANY server plugins would there that does this, but actually in a good way.
