There are many wonderful builds on opticraft. There are many players who keep there creations public in hopes to share it with everyone. Not everyone knows everyone and most players wish to be left alone, but there are a few greats creations that you could say define Opticraft as a talented server. It's not uncommon to look for servers with talented members to play with, so why not add a warp station that would allow players to see the best of opticraft without the fear of "should i be here"
If this idea has your attention, I think an application process should be in place (just like project protection application) This would encourage players to build great things. New players who log in for the first time would have a chance to see great things and not just the "world war III" land around the spawns.
The application process would wouldn't be hard. I would suggest that before a creation be accepted it should already have been accepted for project protection.
I've looked through the accepted project protections and I've read about many creations that i would love to visit, but i don't know the creators and so I've never gone to any of these creations for fear that they aren't meant to be public. I've met new players who explore my castle and TP away when i say hi, scared that i don't want them there. I would love to spend a day exploring opticraft's greats just by clicking on a sign and not wondering "am i trespassing?"
I only see one problem that could come from it.
-this ease of access may have the same effect on the creations that it had on the spawn. I'm talking about "world war III" lands around them.
If the idea takes off i would summit an application for my Herobrines keep.
-
I like the idea
-
This idea sounds pretty good I'd support it ^_^
-
Not a bad idea but we would need a size limit. Moving huge structures takes way too long due to having to break them up into pieces.

Or you could just have signs that lead to the places instead of moving them

Most people dont really like random people just being warped to their builds.

I understand that many players don't like random players walking around their builds, but this isn't true about all players, that's why i suggest an application. Players who don't want to have their builds public shouldn't put an app in. By opening an application you could see if there is enough to even take the time.
daniblue182 understands what i meant buy warp station. You could build a place just like you have for the warp east/west/north/south but rather the sign takes you to the already built location.
one example - would be a sign that's say's (Herobrine's Keep) when a player clicks on the sign they are teleported to the coordinates that /home B1ueJ0ker is set at.
another example - If Qu1cks1lva wanted to add Emerald Keep then there would be a sign that say's (Emerald Keep) or (emerald Keep by Qu1cks1lva) and the sign would teleport you to the coordinates of Emerald Keep.
You could get as creative as the PvPhub or as simple as the East/west/north/south teleports in the member world.

I like this idea B1ueJ0ker! I would love to help in anyway possible.

This is a great way to show off those amazing builds that have sadly been forgotten.

The problem with a copy of (example - Herobrine's Keep) is it would freeze the creation in time. It's unfinished, but not abandoned. There's so much more detail I have planned. Survival crafting is a slow process on a massive creation (+500,000 blocks have already been placed). I have a year into the keep and I'm not even close to done. I would bet the old guest world (where Herobrine's keep is located) will be deleted before I finish everything I would like to do to it.
Copying the Keep as it is now won't do it justice 6 months from now. Having a warp would allow players to watch the progress.
I maybe the only player who has never placed my /home behind a door to keep players out.

Wouldn't just put others builds at the warp without asking them or them volunteering ^_^

I whole heartedly support this idea.
There isn't much I can say to add to B1ue's quality reasons for this, but I fully support it. I'd recommend that there would be a higher standard for getting into the Hall of Fame than the criteria for city protection. These should be the absolute best of the best. Awe-inspiring builds to show off the best that Opticraft has to offer. Emerald & Herobrine's Keeps would definitely top the list.
-
I think this is an excellent idea.
I also agree with the idea of placing warp signs by their builds would be better than copying and pasting them. Also, since this would be a thing based off of accepted applications, if that person doesn't want other people running around their build, then they simply don't apply. Them applying would show that this person doesn't mind other people around their build such as I (also, if the build is fully protected, such as by project protection, the person who built it wouldn't have to fear it being grieved).
If I may add to this proposition, I suggest that maybe this gets treated like the project protection in that the whole build would be fully protected also. Like, say you have an amazing build and decide you want to apply for the "Hall of Fame", if accepted it would be fully protected so that people don't grief anything. However, if you want the build protected but don't like the idea of other people being at your build, then you could just apply for the regular project protection and not have to worry about other people.
It'd work out both ways then. People who get accepted to the "Hall of Fame" would agree to the terms that they dont mind random people will be at your place, but assured that it won't be griefed through the protection. But if that person doesn't want random people at their place, then they can just apply for the regular project protection.
However, one difference I think between the project protection and the "Hall of Fame" would be I think the Hall of Fame should be held to a higher standard. Just like how if somebody on Classic wants to become a Crafter, they have to build Crafter worthy builds; if somebody wants to build a build for the Hall of Fame, it must be a Hall of Fame worthy build. I think that only the really amazing builds would be accepted to the Hall of Fame, but if it doesnt qualify for the Hall of Fame, it could still be good for project protection (if it is that good ofc). I don't know how this would be determined exactly, however. On Classic, Crafter apps were reviewed by other Crafters and they discussed whether or not that person is ready for Crafter. I don't know how that'd work for smp since we don't have build ranks on here (I'm also the only active Crafter on Opticraft). Perhaps staff would debate over this (maybe only Ops and admins?). I don't know, but Im sure something could be worked out.
-
I'm glad to see others like the idea. I have no more input other then i trust the staffs decisions, and I hope this suggestion will provide a strong foundation for the staff to build on and make something the whole server can be proud of. If something should come of this, I would love to be first in line to be apart of this. If this proves to be a bad idea, no hard feeling.
-
I would very much enjoy this! =)
-
This would be awesome
-
I like this idea a lot, for all the reasons B1ue pointed out lol. And no one would be intruded upon because they would have to apply first.
-
It sounds like everyone likes the idea, so how do we make it happen?
-
This is a great idea.
-
First Impressions are everything. Right now when a new player logs on, they tend to go to a warp station and tp to one of 4 locations and a world of grief. This was the same when the old guest world was the spawn.
I think it's fair to say, when a player joins a sever what they see first greatly influences if they will chose to stay. This is why every sever puts so much work in to there spawn. I feel we can take it a step farther, not just showing them a nice spawn, but also talented builds by the opticraft Community.
This does two things:
1: It shows new players that the sever takes pride in it's community's talent, and will protect it (city/project protection) When a new players join all they see is grief, fields of it. It's like a statement to new players that we don't fix grief.
2: It also gives players something to work for, other then just climbing the Player Ranks.
-
I completely support this topic. I understand why we would want this, for not only builds, but maybe people who had a HUGE impact on opticraft, enough to make a drastic change. I feel bad for those who have worked countless weeks, months, and even years on their builds and it gets forgotten after a couple of moths. We need a warp to keep it there forever!
If this gets approved of, I would love to help build this, if you need any help.
-
With the right system in place, I could really see this working. Here comes the new moderator+City applications child board :D. I fully support this and would like this to get implemented for a chance for new players to see great builds and active players to see old forgotten ones.
Supported :)

love it! ;D +1
would love to see all the builds that i can't be bothered to find the /homes of :P :D
-
Just as a few reference homes:
any of the homes of
-Interbane
-sircy
-unknownhedgehog
-b1uej0ker
-qu1cks1v3r (i'm not completely sure how to spell it)
don't be offended if i left you out.
sorry for my atrocious grammar :p

Not a bad idea but we would need a size limit. Moving huge structures takes way too long due to having to break them up into pieces.
I moved Turtleman918's huge spleef arena (twice) without being able to build in his world.

How long did it take you, exactly?

Why not just a /communitywarps command? Nothing would have to be moved

Or you could just have signs that lead to the places instead of moving them
Most people dont really like random people just being warped to their builds.
Well I can see how world edit could have issues with really large builds.
But perhaps create a void world a pathway though the void if I may. and place those builds that are to big in their own floating island. with the signs going to the island and not the actual build.
Think the mighty quest for epic loot. Floating castles why not make floating builds. I've done similar things on my own server. the world edits can be taxing. but if there is no world to render, it's relatively cheap on the server.

Exactly. I doubt people can spend that much time working on a project like that. Just get the owner's permission to place a warp at their home, so we save a lot of time.
-
All in favour say Aye!
AYE!!
-
Love the idea, we could make like warp stations with item frames with maps. It would look pretty cool

This is pretty irrelevant since the warp station would just take them to the build itself, we don't need to copy it.

I was attempting to make a compramize. We all know the first thing a nooby is going to do is A. Try and grief it, or B. live close to it.
No good builder wants to see a wood/mud shack next to their build. this was what I was trying to say.

Well you are going to have to have project protection in order to be included in this.

Anything worthy of this would easily get project protection anyways.
-
So this is basically just waiting on someone to build a warp station then? I don't see anything bad about the concept at all

Has been done. Locked
