Random spawn locations in mining world would be nice. The area around spawn quickly becomes depleted and hard to navigate. People wouldn't be able to camp spawn area killing anyone who wanders out of the spawn area at a casual pace. With a bigger map size I'm assuming it may be longer between resets meaning that areas within 1000m of spawn will be depleted quicker than those further out. I'm not really looking forward to running 1000m + every time I want to mine. I'm not in anyway saying that there are any major problems with mining world right now, just noting how it could be made more enjoyable. P.S. Thanks for increasing the size, I was starting to feel a bit claustrophobic. Regards, Xynos
The only reason why I agree is because there are campers in full Protection IV waiting to kill all the helpless people trying to make some money. But, I don't think the spawning needs to be changed because once you get a lucky break and run 500-1000 blocks away from spawn, you can just set your home there (or underground) and avoid the spawn campers. I still think it would be an OK idea to randomize spawning though so that different people could spawn in different areas/biomes instantly right after the map has reset.
The diamond tanks are after me and my red cap....then a wonderful res comes out. While they beat the crud of that poor guy, I run off and later find diamonds. 1+
I honestly do not think that this will correct anything, but maybe, give people a false sense of security... Sometimes when I'm bored I will follow players from spawn (I have fly+) just to see how long it takes for them to notice me. I never kill them and they never notice me. I will follow players for about 1000 blocks and then pm them directly to let them know that they could have been killed many times over. I don't try to hide it either. What I have witnessed is that players will not look around at their surroundings or think twice about that fact that pvp is enabled. Also for the record, I've only ever killed 1 person in the mining world in my 8 months on the server.
I hate it how spawn campers have like fire aspect and sharpness and in one hit when u want to find a new spawner bye bye and its bak to spawn to start all over again!
if you are really worried about people camping spawn, i recently came up with an idea that might help. buy a couple ender chests(i have seen them for as little as 225 at market), put everything of value in it and leave spawn. if you get killed all the person gets is the ender chest.
srry to tell you this plan would crash and bur. 1.) u cant place enderchest in the mining world so that just brings the whole enderchest story down
ur still gonna have to get past alot of people just because you get past the spawn doesnt mean ur safe people use radars they can find anyone
yeah that happened to me I had been for a long journey when sudenly some one says "I see u mwa ha ha ha" I looked around and there were no name tags and I started freaking out \
