We are happy to announce the opening of a new spawn. We've designed the spawn with navigation and simplicity as core priorities.
Answering a Design Problem
In our previous spawn, the main spawn point was located far away from main attractions. There was little to no attention given to the placement of each part of the spawn. The new world is designed with placement as the primary focus. Each venue: Spleef, Parkour, Airship, Bank, Shop and Library have been positioned with equal distances to the main spawn point. The new spawn is the new solid foundation we can use to build a vibrant community center for MeepCraft. For players getting used to the new setup, we've recently added a variety of different navigational indicators and messages.
Increased Viewing Distance
We've decided to increase the viewing distance so that players will be able to have an optional greater view of spawn. To tweak these settings yourself, you can go to Minecraft settings and change the chunk rendering option. Because of the confusion with players that have not properly configured their viewing distance complaining about lag, we have not yet decided whether the increased viewing distance is temporary or permanent.
Contemporary Aesthetic
One of the major characteristics of the new spawn is the new contemporary aesthetic. This design was chosen because it is more reminiscent of MeepCraft's original spawn style, and also introduces concepts of minimalism and simplicity to the design of spawn. We wanted to be underwhelming with detail so that both old and new players are not confused by intricacies, but at the same time have a distinct sense of style, wholeness, and minimalism.
We've heard your concern about the spawn lacking color and underdeveloped interior design. The spawn we've released is designed to be the minimum foundation for great aesthetic improvements that will develop over time. Interior design was not the primary focus, but it will be as the spawn matures and more decisions are made regarding the purpose of its individual parts.
New Amenities:
- 1-Layer, 2-Layer and 3-Layer Spleef
- Various jump pads to expedite travel, including an Airship jump pad (More coming soon)
- Venues are now equidistant to spawn point
- Rank info room (Under construction)
- Separate staff/donator lounge building
Some Proposed Amenities:This list includes just some of the features we are planning!
- MeepClub
- Waterpark
- Improved navigation and removal of unnecessary alternate paths
- Improved bank
- Administrator Statues
- Improved interior aesthetics, including the addition of accenting color to areas that are lacking
We have worked very hard to deliver this new experience and we hope that you will take advantage of all the features the new spawn offer and will offer in the future. I am so excited and hyped to see how MeepCraft will develop with this new foundation and I hope you are too!
