Should raid have a semi-custom map?

    So about a month ago I was playing modded MC, and the pack I was playing with had several custom structures around the map. It was really fun to explore and loot them, and I think it could be fairly popular in Raid.

    Some ideas for structures could be wizard towers, windmill / farm areas in plains, sphinx statues or whatever in deserts, ship wrecks in oceans with buried treasure, little cottages in forests, etc.

    This would help make non-trackers feel a little more in the raiding crowd and would make the map seem more unique and interactive. They wouldn't need to be anything massively OP or anything, but some rare OP things, like a gingerbread house with a witch spawner or something along the lines of that (sort of compensating for the witch huts not working [or do they?]). This is mainly just for fun / looks though, so even non-functional things could be cool.

    Lmk what you think.

    Overall i like this idea, however all of those buildings would be raided within the first 2 weeks of a mapreset.

    Probably, but I don't think the entire buildings / feature would be destroyed. Even if they are, it would be a cool feature to stumble upon imo and I don't see much harm to it.

    I guess I could do some, but I need to know the size and which blocks I'm not allowed to use

    I agree with @CalledRainer, it's cool concept but I feel like things would get raided within a couple weeks of the map. However, that shouldn't be a reason not to do it. I think having cool structures related to biomes, as you said, would be a really nice addition that adds to the adventurous side of raid and the map aesthetic, so +1.

    Custom biomes, which can't be destroyed nearly as easily, would be a better edition than custom structures in my opinion.

    That would be ideal, yes, but would take loads of time and builders. I would love for it to happen, but I just don't see it being realistic in the near future. But then again, eel is a mad man and could probably solo the project in 3 days.

    There's plugins we could use to generate custom biomes, and we have staff who are familiar with said plugins. In fact, any staff could make the custom biomes and it would require minimal dev time to implement it, so this may be one of the more feasible ideas.

    That would be sick then. Hopefully this could be done for the next map.

    I can make a simple 500x500 custom biome in just an hour or so, but it'd be much easier if the whole map was custom. xxMineSheepxx knows World Machine pretty well already and could make a custom world with caves and shiz

    Agreed, custom biomes like on HG would be sick

    Love hearing the suggestions. Brought it up with the rest of the raid staff team.

    As has been said above, it would be far easier to insert custom structures into a world generation program than building them and actually placing them in the map manually. Some of the suggested structures would fit in nicely, and I can definitely see them adding more fun with exploring the map.
    Regarding this - If we take the 2 main structures that are currently in the game (sea temples, and desert temples) I can safely say that I am still finding unraided ones of both to this day, and thats 5 months into the map. So while the majority may be found rather soon into the map, they still provide exploration for many months into it.

    Custom biomes are a different ball game all together. They are possible, although it then leads to endless possibilities, combinations, variations etc.
