1.8 World Border (1,500 views)

First, I must say Connor is right here. Even though what he said is opinion based, his opinions are formed out of what is actually happening currently on the Mindcrack server. Their community is a lot closer, mature, and a lot more respectful than ours, yet they are still struggling for resources and having many of the problems Connor mentioned. They are also a lot better builders than us, so living in a small community and looking out my window to see an awesome Zisteau build is a lot more pleasing than looking out my window and having to look at #cobblecockthing2014.

The truth is, a lot of the people on this server are selfish and lack foresight. To prove my point we need look no further than the Nether Fortress right outside the hub. All of the blaze spawners were destroyed. Getting blaze rods for brewing stands and blaze powder for ender eyes and ender chests became a lot more inconvenient for everybody who came after that person. Another example is this thread. Connor brought up and voiced an honest concern of what may happen to the map. He explained himself thoroughly and invited others to do the same:



In turn you only countered what he said, but did not give any positives on why we should use the border. Instead of voicing your opinion about the border you focused on criticizing Connor's opinion.



And you ask for him to give facts while also being condesending:



I already covered that earlier, but his opinion is based on facts that are happening in Mindcrack, which is a much more open and honest community than we have. Nobody on Mindcrack has stolen hundreds of diamond blocks and griefed spawn and destroyed other peoples builds, and they don't have to worry about who is living next to them. They know their space is being respected by their neighbors. You've had mob damage open a hole in 4everless home yourself, and put a sign. A sign is nice, but the hole remained for many days after. Smooth stone takes just a few moments to smelt.

Second, Connor is using "I feel, I believe" statements because as he said in the very first paragraph of his post, he is stating his opinion. Rather than stating your own opinions like he also suggested in his original post, all you have done so far is attacked his opinions. Now after reading everything I see this post:



This post has nothing to do with the original topic and is just being antagonistic.

Include an ocean with an island of decent size and I'm in. Maybe Alex and I can co exist for once!?

I know you want the king of harbours bro

How about this one? Big ocean in the middle of the border and an even bigger ocean starting in the west. Natural bays. (pretty good for a harbor!) And spawn is in a roofed forest.  Jungle southwest. And as you can see there is a village available in the 800 x 800 border size And netherfortress in the 400x400 border
And then we go for 10 blocks per day so the border expands really quickly so the only reason for the border will be starting at least close to spawn!

I personally don't think that resources will be a problem, you can get just about anything from villager trading if we set up a breeder, also setting a we're have a about twice s many people a mindcrack I'd say that a 1000x1000 border should be more than plenty for us to live in (as long as nobody claims an entire lake or something ridiculous like that, since with our current town system we build pretty close together anyway

I think if we do a world border it should be like 1000x1000 so we are still kinda close together but there's still room

I don't wanna waste a week with trying a border, i think it is best with a plane new normal map because I wanna go as far ås I want and do whatever fuck I want

World border would be fun. It is definitely a different idea and would, in my opinion, drastically change the way minecraft would be played. Resources would be the first priority for everyone, glowstone and quartz would be gone as soon as a portal is created. Branch mining would occur everywhere, which may not be a bad thing. However; my concern, which we have seen in the past few weeks, would be theft. Poor Nabbs had been stolen from over and over and that was when there were plenty of resources in the world. We are a close group, but have a few that don't care and are willing to steal. Now imagine resources are very limited, would theft become a larger problem? I can go either way on a world border, therefore I'm not voting. I just wanted to throw a thought out there.
