You could make it in this world as a test rig to see how it holds up in a server environment, then build the super awesome real version in the new world :)

Yep, check out the Mod Report. :)

And it’s also impossible to stop people from Googling it, lol

Yup, a completely new world. We won’t lose the old stuff – we’ll be able to go and visit it in read-only mode, but actual building will happen in a completely new world built from scratch.

A definite date hasn’t been confirmed yet, but it’s tentatively planned for around the start of October at the moment.

Yeah, I know the ocean wasn’t intended and just happened, but it was technically a result of the seed that was chosen :P

Oooo, I love making hot air balloons! That’d be fun. :D

Are we planning on a specific theme for the next world? Nothing major, but I recall it being said that last time they wanted to make sure there was sea nearby for the “sailing to a new world” theme (which then led to a world full of ocean, lol).

Going for a more land-friendly world this time? :)

Oooo, let’s make big elephants to migrate on! :P

I’m a big fan of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series, but I didn’t want anything too blatant (such as Rincewind or something) – but in the very first Discworld novel there’s a dragon called Bronze Psepha. He’s the mount of a wyrm-rider – that particular dragon shows up for like three pages at most and then is gone again, but the name really grabbed…[Read more]

Temp worlds? I joined after the current world started, what was that?

Would it cause too much server lag to build a gigantic sandcastle over a big piston setup that I can knock down as we migrate to the new world? :P

Seriously though, one thing I’ve been wondering – other than the changes like switching from Multiverse to Bungee Cord, are there any plans at this early stage to add in some new functionality through…[Read more]

I don’t think any guidelines have been established for any new-world portals yet, above- or underground, but I’m inclined to expect that you’ll have to establish the merits of the new build before you’ll be granted an above-ground portal.

Hell, we don’t even know for sure that there are going to BE above-ground portals to begin with – it might be…[Read more]

Wouldn’t that mean constant resets of the End? What if someone wants to actually build there – can just the dragon itself be resurrected without resetting the whole thing?

Underwater!

Are we still allowed to build around the spawner though, to create a contained room? In the current Nether I was lucky enough to get a double spawner really close to my portal, but it only got really useful when I built a dedicated room around them to keep the Blazes contained in that one place (and allow me to deactivate the spawners using lamps).

I think there was mention of much tighter Nether area-claiming rules when the subject of resetting the Nether was originally brought up – if I remember correctly, it was basically along the lines of community boundaries, but based on the location of your nether portal and with a much, much smaller radius around it.

Are there any planned restrictions (or potential plans to spawn it more than once) on the Enderdragon, or is it simply going to be a case of a free-for-all “first to find and kill”?

I’m inclined to agree with the mods’ plans for a hard date, rather than a sliding maybe – without at least a basic idea of how long we’ve got, it’s going to be very difficult to plan what we have time to finish, what new things can be built, etc. to current builds that people want to display when the current world does finally go read-only and is…[Read more]

Well, if it helps, I know that redstone still functions just fine in Old World at the moment – pistons still work, for example. Admittedly though anything that needs to be manually reset (such as refilling dispensers or physically placing new blocks) will have a problem.

While I haven’t seen your game yet, maybe this could be an opportunity -…[Read more]

I think we’ll see a mixture – some will sadly leave, but I’m sure there are older members who will return. No idea how that’ll balance out in terms of pure numbers until we get there.

I’m cautiously optimistic about the move though – there’s still a big question mark hanging over my maps (and it would be crushing to lose them if they don’t…[Read more]

Think there’s a bit of thread crossover, lol, I was in the Mod Report. Thanks for the info though :)

Such as me! lol. Thanks for the info :)
