Towny Creative

DET2102

One of the complaints I have heard about Creative, is plot size, players want to build larger.

I know one suggestion has been that players be allowed to join plots, or donators could get larger plots.

But what about people that don’t like to build on a flat surface?

When I work in creative, I prefer to build in an existing environment, but you don’t want everyone to have free rein to build anywhere with no protection, that opens up players greefing and such.

So my thought was this, make a Towny creative world, all the player permissions would work the same way Alpha and Beta work, but in creative.

This way players can make plots as large or small as they want, they can build with as many friends as they may want.

All the builds are protected as long as taxes are being paid.

I believe one of the options on Towny, is Plot Regeneration:

“When a town plot is unclaimed (by a player or through upkeep) it will slowly begin to revert to a pre town state. Blocks will slowly change back to whatever blocks we're present at the moment the town block was claimed.”

I would say to turn this on, and it would help get rid of against abandoned projects.

I think this would end up needing a new world, so I don’t see it as a quick change.

Firstly creative world is meant for players to create builds there w/ no worry about money.
Creative should not have taxes tied to it, it is not part of the economy.
As for the plot regeneration the command /plotme clear would get rid of everything already built there.

The plot sizes in creative are 33x33, that is plenty of space. The higher rank you are, the more plots you are able to own. You cannot expect to get a whole world to build in. If you require such space, just start a singleplayer world in creative mode.
And you're already able to add friends via /plotme add . So -1.

Please, No. This would lead to chaos. No roads, No easy way to browse other's builds, and tax? What? No! Creative and Skyblock are some of the only ways we get new players to stay. They join, see skyblock or creative, play on it for a month or two, and eventually learn about towny and other games. If we did this, we could lose players extremely fast. Also, tax would probably make donors wanna leave creative.

- It would have to be part of the economy so that someone doesn't come around and claim everything they can, making it difficult to fine a place to build, or if someone claims an area, and stops playing, eventually, their funds will go away, and they will have to give up their plot.

As for the plot regeneration the command /plotme clear would get rid of everything already built there.
- This requires maintenance. Someone has to check each plot to see if it is still owned, and if not do /plotme clear.
Plot regeneration would make it so no one has to do regular maintenance.

The plot sizes in creative are 33x33, that is plenty of space
- As I agree that 33 x 33 is plenty of space to be able to show how you are able to build, there are many people that prefer to have larger builds, that will take up more space then 33 x 33.

If you require such space, just start a singleplayer world in creative mode.
-And not be able to build with your Meep Friends.....

I am not suggesting that this removes the existing Creative Plot world.
I am suggesting this as an additional world.
I do not believe this would make donors wanna leave creative.

As far as browsing other builds, you would have to use the same towny commands to see the creative towns and /t spawn to each.

People are already restricted to how much they can claim by their donation rank. Update yourself on that information, look it up. That already prevents people from claiming unlimited plots. In regards to you saying people want more space, again the higher your rank the more plots you can own. If its so important to have more creative plots to you then donate to a higher rank. Or rather if you really must, make a singleplayer world as I said. You can upload the save file from your .minecraft folder and upload it for your friends or you could even host a server for your friends solely for building. You have to realize Meepcraft is not being hosted as a creative server. It is an economic towny server, which brings me to my next point. Your response to speedygirl mentions a whole separate creative towny server. This is Meepcraft. This is an economic towny server, not a Creative Towny server. Meepcraft does not need to spend more server resources and money from our donations to fund an extra world that will have no real use. You have to realize that what will benefit you will not benefit the whole server.

Denied - this is not really needed and would not be worth the effort and hosting costs.
