Sounds good, then. I'll leave the current server up for now. Since it's gimped, mods are allowed to spawn whatevs. Throw some dynamite around or something.

In the meantime, I'll generate a couple maps until we get something that looks good and then I'll select it. It's actually fine if this map causes surface construction to be difficult, since it's already going to be really difficult to survive the surface mobs, everyone's going to be underground anyway.

[DwarfWalrus]

Huh, a huge infinite desert which is incredibly difficult to survive in due to dangerous creatures and low resources . . . .

I have a 256x256 map generated. I'll need to check it out, and then I'll upload it and start 'er up.

PTTG, can we have, say, a 24-hour period of eternal day in which to set up a safe zone at the spawn chunk?

[Sowelu]

I just bought Minecraft a couple days ago.  I think I'd like to hop in here.  I've got some cluefulness about how not to grief, but only minor skills.

[Rex_Nex]

Your going to need to email him, the address is in the OP.

[PTTG??]

Desert server is up. Check it out. This is a quick test, so don't build anything you can't afford to loose.

[dragonshardz]

I think you should give us 24 real-world hours of daytime to prepare for eternal night.

Definitely going to need some help on this map starting off if we're doing Eternal Darkness mode. The lack of trees makes it impossible to build anything that isn't sand, gravel or sandstone. It also makes it impossible to make torches. Underground labyrinths are rather common but don't seem to contain anything except death traps that tend to get set off by mobs and glowstone. Resources seem to clump together with the same type which I like better than the homogeneous distribution on vanilla maps.

I'd say the major things we need is a safe spawn point, dirt, and saplings. If the latter 2 occur naturally on the map we should be able to get by with 24 hours of daylight to set up the first one.

I just logged in to explore a bit, got instantly lost, jumped into an open volcanic shaft and then was shot dead by a skeleton. It looks like a pretty cool map, although the lack of dirt and trees seem to make it woefully impractical for use as an eternal darkness map.

So long as it's being discussed, I too would appreciate a 24 hour day in which to set things up. I like to hermit and it's hard to strike out on your own at night on a low-gamma monitor. Heck, on the last map I lost three boats in creeper craters before realizing that the "ocean" I was exploring was a mid-size pond.

[PTTG??]

Yeah, it's a neat map in theory, but it's not really good for this mode. Do we want eternal darkness, OR primal deserts?

Or eternal dessert?

[Rose]

Primal darkness.

[Osmosis Jones]

Yeah, primal desert I guess. Though primal dessert would be interesting. All land is covered by cakes...

[shadowsofwhite]

This, I like this.

The desert thing is interesting, really, but there is no way to actually survive without spawning stuff.  Annoying, really.

I like the eternal darkness thing, but not so much for the desert.

[Leonon]

We could do fine in eternally dark primal desert if we had some help starting off. Most of the things the map is missing are self perpetuating so after we get set up we'd be fine on our own in this inhospitable land of death.

I actually kind of want it to be normal time changes but players catch fire during the day like monsters do.
