One of my friends had a server he hosted from his house, and it had 4 worlds or more (I forgot) all linked up with some kind of nether portals. He had it setup to have one world as pure creative, one for nether (before the nether update), one was the old SpotLand GAF Survival map, and one other for testing junk. He even had it setup so that you couldn't bring items from one world into the other...
Blah, any who, perhaps you could do the same thing. Keep the current map and start a fresh one, and make a link between.

Yeah I like the new world in 1.8 with a portal back to the old one idea.
The thing about Minecraft if that there's quite often nothing to do with your buildings after you've made them (except go "ooh" and "ahh") so we just gotta keep building.
Also yeah if we can upload the server map somewhere after we migrate that would be great.

Shifting to a new spawn wouldn't fix this?Ark said:
Realistically if we do set up a new world I don't think it's worth the effort to link to the old world, as I'm not sure anyone would bother building there or visiting.
Might as well just do the download thing.
Though a final high resolution render of the map would be awesome to go with it :]
If we put the spawn away from the current world, we will be in a newly generated land without errors. The old world would still be there to visit if people want to. This is the best solution because it pleases everyone. People who just want a new world ARE in a new world and people that want to revisit the old one or teleport there also can.

The bottom line is a lot of the new changes won't affect our old world, which is why we're having this discussion. If we just said we'll keep things the way they are, we would have to leave the map area to find places with the new rivers and oceans and ravines and villages and etc.
All that shit is going to be so cool we want to partake. If we had to vote, my vote would be the portal idea. If that isn't feasible, moving spawn.

No, he's mentioning three options.
1) deleting the map and restarting would delete all buildings (but the save would be up so anyone can grab it and either play it single player or create their own server and continue
2) moving spawn - just moves our spawn city to a new area, far away, that isn't on the map so the game is forced to load all the new features...you'd still be able to warp or even walk back to the "old world". Think of it like the atlantic ocean.
3) portal - brand new game world, like #1, only with a portal in-game that you walk through and appear in the old world. There are mods that allow this.

I'll but my case forward for a linked new world. I think its best because people will be able to see the great city's, buildings and monuments on the active sever and get help going around, and allow for tweaked citys using some improvements I'm sure 1.8 will bring.
People will have a new map to start afresh, clean slate without messed up biomes and chunk errors, which won't lead to a huge map taking ages to scroll (The google maps one).
And what I'm most (admittedly selfishly) concerned about, being able to carry over resources. I've got large stockpiles of cobblestone, sand & glass, dyes and dyed wool etc that I'd like to take with me to a new map, if we did just a new world I guess these would be lost? It wouldn't be the end of the world but it would be nice to carry over resources.
I dunno if everyone will agree on one solution, but we can all discuss concerns and see what's most popular.
Ah, ok. I was just confused that reseting and moving spawn/portal would "end up with the same result". 1) doesn't seem like an option. What are the differences between 2) and 3) that need to be taken into account. Wouldn't option 3) make the server dependable on mod updates after a game/server version update?bengraven said:

As before, I completely oppose a world wipe. I thought we already had this discussion.

Had gotten two diamonds then died shortly after. Feels bad man.
Could always use wool. I know diamonds and gold are more his colors, though.

So as you all know I'm pretty new... my structures aren't anywhere near some of your levels but I built my first little castle tonight across the water from my wooden hut. Here are a few screenshots - click them for bigger size and description.
This is still all a WIP, it's a little barren now.

So long as the current map is preserved in some way, I will be satisfied.Ark said:
I might be overstepping my bounds, but I propose that we take a poll on this matter. Notice I wrote "poll" not a vote. I think it could be helpful for Ark if he gets an idea of where most people are at on this issue. In my mind the ultimate decision rests with Ark. This poll would simply be another way of gathering information about where the community is at. So, the poll could be:
For the upcoming 1.8 patch of Minecraft, we should do the following for the Neocraft server:
1. nothing
2. reset the map
3. create a new span point
4. create a linked world via a plugin
5. I have no opinion
Just my $.02 on the matter.
Seems like most everyone is up for the Multiverse option Orlandu. It'd be the best of both worlds. Get a fresh map but maintain the old one on the same server. Most importantly, to me at least, I can bring resources over from the old map to the new one. Which means I can continue my mining operation.

Have mercy on me. Is a single core 2.0ghz going to be able to do anything or would it be better to just watch youtubes and livestreams? I understand there are low-res texture packs, but I need to know if there are some simple ways to keep the game from crashing.

Minecraft is made to run on low powered computers, you may have to change graphics to fast and change the render distance but that's all in the menu. You can try the Minecraft Demo and see how it runs.

I vote we start a new map when 1.8 hits. I know, I used to say the opposite... but I have since grown tired of all the old buildings. A change would be nice. We are all much better builders now, anyway. Also, when the new map, we can implement slopes.

I cannot see this as "the better solution". Think "options". If we simply move the spawn away from the old world, you'll be exactly like in a new map AND people that want to revisit the old world will be able to do so. I really can't figure out an option that pleases more people than that. I even wonder why there's still a question in fact.

Because the nature of 1.8's update is still in question. Once again, if the only way we can enjoy the full benefits of the 1.8 update is by creating a new map, then I say we should do it. For example, I've heard people say that we cannot edit the height of the world without creating a new map. Are they telling the truth, or are they simply misinformed? I don't know. But, if that IS the case, a new map is the best option.
vas_a_morir said:
This could be a possible exception but very unlikely to happen. In all previous updates (in wich Notch modified the terrain generation and added loads of stuff), you never had to do this. Chances are it will be like that again.
As for the height, it doesn't change in vanilla 1.8. It's just that Notch added the variable so someone would want to make mod. If we play as vanilla as possible (like right now), Neocraft will not have a higher sky.
Just a question. When those big names create Minecraft timelaps videos taken from a distance, what do they do? Do they use an extra username and have them sit on the server recording the screen with the OSD turned off? Or do they use something else specifically designed to record the world?
I assume it's the first. In which case, does that mean they have to register an extra username, or find another person willing to let their computer idle for a while while recording?
