I'd like a reset myself. for one thing there's no snow biomes, nor ice, and that's bad. D: and for another the biomes are all out of whack.

Although if we do a server reset, I'd be for a spawn area of mineralgasm goodness of floating islands like the old one. Not needed, but would be nice to have a place we can get lots of hard to find building materials. (But hopefully if we go for a new one it would have lots of lapis as well. XD)

I did spend some time looking for ice and the biome code definitely seemed fairly funky e.g. swamp mountain and an ocean with squared, clifflike shores. o -o)

yeah, its cause the biome generation code changed in 1.0 and we didn't create a new world to reflect the change, so now the generations gone bonkers.

[Chrian]

so I found out client side height can be altered to 2000+ but server side doesn't work so lets just get a new map then.

[Helm]

Well if it's what everyone wants. o-o) Uhh if we do start a new map could people possibly get some chests with materials to start out with this time around? Certainly at least some boxes with food in them near the spawn.

[Psion]

lol, id like my old station ported to it XD at least once i figure out where to build heh.

[Helm]

Poor GC. D:

[Helm]

It's now time for your rampage.

[Psion]

Hay, at least i ain't asking to transfer the new station as well! :D

[Kegsay]

Did you guys ever make a Ru'Aun Gardens model? Gonna prolly start one at some point, but if you're resetting I'll wait till then.

[Chrian]

map reset is pending on the account of no info on nextversion update.

[Mots]

There is supposed to be a version update soon?? I am confused.

[Chrian]

well dont wanna start a new map and be like bam 2 weeks later magically crazy alteration of everything update.

[Psion]

i dunno, but i don't think it will be a "requires new map" update, since that only is needed when they change the biome generation code, which doesn't happen often. Mainly happened during 1.9 pre and 1.0.0 update since it was going to full game mode. In which case an update shouldn't require a new map, just new chunks for the new items that would appear. (aka head west, young man, etc etc.)

Seeing as Jeb is solely in charge of Minecraft development and that Notch could give less fucks about the game than Spiderman would, I wouldn't expect anything substantial in terms of updates any time soon.

[Psion]

yeah, plus he's mainly working on mod support, UI, and translations atm, which is gonna take months if I remember right. I say it's pretty safe to make a new map, and even more so since there's nothing in the way of content updates that jebs has mentioned yet, just mainly polishing and mod GUI to allow people to mod the game without it breaking them every patch.

I think the main thing the next update has as far as new content so far is that sheep eat grass and regrow their wool when they do so.

[Kegsay]

So I figured it'd be nigh impossible to accurately model Ru'Aun Gardens based on Survival mode, so I'm working on it on Creative mode. I hope to eventually contain the shrine of Ru'Avitau and Vergkeghreugebhru Palace inside the structure. It's getting pretty large, here's some pics:

I just want an update that saves local world timestamps with chunks as they get unloaded so the game can get shit processed when I revisit it, making remote farms or monster traps viable.
