Burrow Raising Festival!

"Oi'll be t'ere!" says Filibert Applefoot to Iris Peregrin in a passing conversation -
[!] You find a letter in your rather damaged mailbox Dear Brambleburians I've acquired a good bit of land from my good friends the Amadors off 'n Haense. Since Bramblebury seems to 'ave come to an' end, I think we can all move there without too much trouble! Decent area, plen'eh of land, close to water, close to other farmer folks, realleh all you could ask for! Just head off to that big ol' Haense city place, head over towards the fields with the big windmill towering over 'em, and then keep on heading down that path 'till you reach the new li'l road I've been working on tha' leads to the village area! P.S: if ye need help finding the area, jus' send a bird off to tha big city an' I'll get to showin' you et! Regards, Filibert Applefoot

The Bramblebury Tea Party & Urgent Discussion

1.18 experimental snapshots lookin' pretty good.
Honestly LOTC might be able to get away with using vanilla world gen again in 1.18 if all the new world generation changes are fine tuned enough.

Minecraft World Generation is still hideous compared to what people want out of fantasy landscapes. But in terms of properly scaling biomes and stuff, wouldn't hurt to take some notes from Minecraft world generation to create more usable landscapes for RP. Definitely something we've needed to work on in the past is not going overboard.
-
Yeah I agree. Vanilla Minecraft generation isn't the greatest but it's very usable for building stuff on. Lots of Almaris requires a whole bunch of terraforming to do much which is why some nation capitals instead created their own land like the massive plateau that Oren built to put Providence on and the island that Elvenesse created for its capital build.
Speaking of going overboard, I think the noise filters or whatever applied onto parts of Almaris are used a bit too much. There are lots of areas where you can find random 1 block holes or single blocks sticking out of the ground all on their own. Compared to previous maps Almaris feels less smooth.
Also I'm not a huge fan of the biome mixing. I prefer having locations all be one biome rather than mixing together a whole bunch of biomes and splattering them all over the place.
Maybe we're just trying to hard to make some uber detailed terrain when in reality most people just want terrain that looks good enough at a distance and is suitable for them to build their settlements on. -

Your View - Clipping the Wings of Birds
NotEvilAtAll replied to ScreamingDingo's topic in Announcements
Well lads looks like the old mailbox stuff I was shilling back in early Bramblebury is gonna come in handy, now ain't it? Hopefully not having birds for everything will revive the roleplay of getting stuff in the mail. As long as I can still use the excuse of having a noticeboard to post RP events on I'm happy. Edit: also this might just shove metagaming back onto discord instead of in-game messages so maybe an aviary plugin would be a decent replacement -
“This don’ look vereh good…” remarks Filibert Applefoot

Honestly I feel as though LOTC's build quality has somewhat stagnated ever since Vailor or so. Back in older Minecraft versions you had to use more creative tactics to make builds look good. Builders would use depth, color, palettes, fancy patterns, etc. to convey whatever they were building in a better manner. Now that we have more block choices and the new 1.14 vanilla textures, not all of that is necessary anymore. While we aren't seeing a return to single texture walls anymore or anything, I don't think most modern LOTC builds are much better than builds that existed 2-3 years ago (some of them are arguably worse, depending on who you ask). LOTC used to kinda be at the cutting edge of server builds. Aegis doesn't look great by modern standards but for 2011 the builds of Aegis were incredible. New build ideas such as Messy Medieval weren't born on LOTC but quickly saw adoption and mass implementation on the server. Now I look at builds on reddit and builder groups on discord and see folks talking about palettes and gradients, lighting, depth and detail, all sorts of fancy build tricks, armor stands and banners used in new and creative ways, etc. All of that isn't bleeding into LOTC builds as far as I can tell, and it's a bit sad. LOTC still has great builds. Our builds are still above average and a lot better than they were on older LOTC. It just doesn't feel like LOTC is at the cutting edge of Minecraft building anymore, but rather a bit above average.

That’s every map Laeonathan. You can only tell how good a map is after it has passed and a new map has come.
Almaris might improve a lot with a war rewrite and Vortex getting canned, so I don’t know if it’ll be remembered for it’s terribly long walk times or interesting wars that’ll come later in the map. Time will tell.
