Idea Build Ideas List

This is a thread with a list of build ideas that have been mentioned in the past and could be good if they were added. If you have any ideas, make a thread or a post on this thread about the idea and I may add it to this list. So here is the list.

Commands:
/gchat toggle - This will stop you from seeing any of the global chat, if you repeat the message you can see global chat again. It will say Global On/Off after you use this command.

/gchat notify (word) - When someone sends a message with a word you have set on /gchat notify, you will be able to see that message sent by that person. If you have global chat already on, that message will be in white for you, this would mean you could do /gchat notify (your ign) and if anyone says your ign, you will be able to see that message more clearly.

/rain,/snow,/sun - This makes your world rain, snow and sunny, this is just a quicker version of setting the weather for people who want to quickly change the weather for an rp or to test something. Managers - Owners can use this command.

/gm0,/gm1,/gm2,/gm3 - /gm0 sets you in adventure mode, /gm1 sets you in creative mode, /gm2 sets you in survival mode, /gm3 sets you in spectator mode. You can only do this on your own map or if you have any permissions from Guest (new perm) to manager. Will change back to creative if you go to another map.

/set (IGN) /gm(1,2,3,0) - This sets the player you have chosen in that gamemode, you can only do this on your own map or if you have Co-Owner (new perm) on someone else's map. Will change back to creative if you go to another map.

/clear - Gets rid of anything in your inventory, this would be useful because currently you have to remove your unwanted blocks in your inventory by hand.

/find (IGN) - This will give you a list of all the maps this player has a permission on, it looks exactly the same as your own permission GUI except there would be different maps and less or more perms, this does not let you bypass private maps or if you are banned on a certain map.

/copymap - This is already a command but Pros (new rank) can also use this on CTF maps and other gamemode maps to copy the map.

/givemap (IGN) - This gives a player the ability to make a new map, only Builders and Mods can use this command and this is for Map Applications (read on)

Permissions:
Guest - Can do everything a Visitor can do except they can set their on gamemode to another gamemode. Another thing is they are allowed to build things on the map while an Owner or Co-Owner is online. Managers - Owners can set this permission by doing /perm (IGN) Guest.

Co-Owner - Pretty much an owner except it cannot delete the map by doing /archive twice.

Visitor - Can now active redstone, open doors and get in minecarts/boats.

Ranks:
This is an aspect we are taking from creative. These ranks would be fairly hard to achieve and you would need to fill out an application on the forums. This is an Application idea.

IGN:
Age:
What Rank are you applying for?:
How many maps do you have?:
What are the Build IDs for those maps?:
Pictures of your best builds:
Why do you want/need this rank?:
Additional Info:

Here are the ranks you could apply for.

Builder - This is already a rank for the server, but now these can have access to Voxel Sniper and CSS, they can also toggle off async. They can make unlimited worlds and get as many plots (new plot world) as they want also they can copy any map with /copymap.

Pro - These can toggle off async. They can make 5 worlds and they can do /copymap on any gamemode maps however a gamemode map still takes up 1 of the 5 maps they can use, however they may delete it.

Architect - These can make 3 Worlds, they can also toggle of async however they get other restrictions instead.

Normal - Current normal rank, however they get 2 maps instead of 1.

Plugins:
CSS - This is a an additional plugin that goes along with world edit, it is better for rotating things around and can be used to make cool shapes.

Voxel Sniper - This is only for builders because apparently it is hard to stop people from abusing voxel sniper on other worlds (setting permissions), this is a known plugin and doesn't need explaining.

Map Applications:
Once people have finished all their available maps, they may apply for a new map, they can also apply for a new rank on the forums if they would like. Here is an idea for a Map Application.

IGN:
Age:
How many maps do you have?:
Build IDs for those maps:
Pictures of the maps:
Why you want another map?:

A Builder or a Build mod could deny or accept these, if a builder were too, they would need to go with another builder or a mod and tell Dasky or Roke who they went with.

Creative:
With this update, creative would shut down. You would be able to get a schematic of your plot(s) by filling out a Google form, then mods would give you a download link which you could upload to build or onto a single player world.

Another long thread, thanks for reading. If you have any suggestions comment below!

 

I: would first like to thank you for putting your time into creating this list. Many of these ideas seem interesting and I will go through each and everyone in this message.


This is already planned - from your previous thread about it!

Yep

Good idea. Would be handy if you have global chat turned off.

Agreed


I can see /rain and /sun - these commands already exist in Essentials, but /snow? You would need the taiga/iceland biome on your map for it to work, I think, if snow is supposed to fall onto the ground. /snow would then turn on snowing and /sun turn it off.

/Snow wouldn't put snow on the ground but there'd be particles


Yes this would be handy as well.



I guess this would be handy for map owners to force their visitors and other perm'd players onto a specific gamemode, for example if you have a roleplay map. But guests and above will still be able to change map, to for example, creative mode which can be an issue.

Ok

It's quicker to just go to your inventory and click on the black cross while pressing shift, and Devs could spend their time on implementing the other ideas.

Didn't know about this, ty


I personally wouldn't want players to be able to find eventual secret projects that I would be working on. Perhaps just a few selected players, but not the entire server.

Maybe it doesn't show maps that you have on private?

Would just be better to simply ask a Builder or Mod if they could copy a, for example, CTF map so that they could remake it. I wouldn't give players, even if they have a high rank on the server, access to copy any map on Build. Not all can be trusted with it, and I personally (here again) wouldn't like eventual un-trustworthy players to be able to copy maps I've been working on for weeks, maybe months.

True I guess


Would be good to have.

Kk

I can see the need for this, like for example if you have a roller coaster that you want Visitors to be able to ride. But there should be an on/off toggle. Sometimes in various occasions you perhaps don't want Visitors to touch your carefully placed Minecarts or boats, for example. Adding this to my list with the toggle.

Maybe owners can do /vt which toggles if visitors can active redstone?


This may be discussed by the Build mods if it would seem to be needed. Right now I'm not quite sure if the community actually demands ranks.

Ok, I think either ranks or map submissions



CSS and Voxel Sniper can maybe be implemented and given to Builders only. I don't trust the rest of the community (even if it would be restricted to specific ranks) with these plugins. They are hard, if not harder, to tackle than World Edit and creating limits for how many blocks you can edit would take time.

Sure, this would be really helpful for me when I build ctf maps.

The Build mods have discussed this already and it may be implemented.

We still don't have a proper plugin to use to run contests on Build. Creative is currently better suited for contests than Build. Creative also doesn't use any resources we could use in a better way. And an explaining quote from Lord_Roke:

Ok, heard about this

I've written down the ideas which I feel would be a great addition to Build. Some of the ideas will need to be discussed by the Build mods. Overall, great list - thank you for putting your time and effort into it!

Sorry about my lazy formatting but hard to do on a phone

 

O ye I remember.
