Parliament | Suggestions / Re: Reset the Nether in 1.16 DISCUSSION
« on: 6 April 2020, 02:07:49 PM »VC has done a nether reset before, no? If so, I'm all for it again despite having stuff in the nether, I would just want a grace period where we have announcements on the server and people can get their items out. I think I mostly just have a few blaze farms with decent items... trying to think of any major villages in the nether we could preserve with clipboard. anyone got any examples?
Ya a grace period makes total sense. We should preserve the Prison of the Banished area.
I remember hearing something from another server where they had reset all the chunks in the world that had not been loaded for more than an hour to reduce disk space. I think this, if implementable, would be a useful way to keep older, more developed areas intact while freeing up some other places near spawn without much infrastructure.. While I would have no idea how to implement it (@luisc99 might be able to help some), I would think that this could be a good way of striking a balance of sorts.
An hour!? Only an hour? So if someone logs out for more than 1 hr they're fucked? haha
As someone who maintains more than one farm in the nether, I feel that I should at least have some input here. As of right now, I have 3 things I have built that I would prefer survive a nether reset, also I have punched a rather large hole in the nether ceiling using the 1.12 dragon egg trick that I quite like and would prefer to keep, whether this means having a staffer just WE in a new hole or something can be addressed later.@luisc99 what do you think about the proposed 'compromise'? is it viable?
I am entirely open to working with staff to help ensure my constructions remain unharmed should the nether be reset. The three structures that I would much like to keep around are as follows:
1: My nether fortress farm, as well as the 128 block radius area around said farm that I mob proofed (this took weeks)
2: a small construction that fits perfectly in 1 chunk, that if deleted may result in accidentally crashing the server
3: The Eldrin Blaze farm, while not mine, I think is really nice, as such, I would much enjoy if this farm is preserved as well.
Given that the 1.16 update makes the nether a more varied place, where building an interesting village is viable, I am fully in favor of a reset, on the contingency that I can get assistance in preserving some of my (and others') hard work.
also pretty sure we can only preserve places you own should this reset, but if the owner (i think luis lel) says sure then ya, all your stuff is on the table if luis thinks we can make it work
The compromise of manually preserving certain areas is easily viable.
I don't think it's fair to all the people who've built all sorts of things in the nether to have all their hard work deleted. Besides, all anyone has to do to see the new areas in the nether after the update would be to walk to a point no one's been to in the nether, and the new generation would begin. I don't think resetting the nether is necessary, or, in fact, beneficial.
I think that we should not reset the nether for all the reasons stated, but I understand the other side. So as Luis mentioned in a previous thread, we could add new warps to new regions as new updates emerge. So I propose that we keep the neither as it is, then create a new warp to the area of which will be regenerated. This way those with things built can keep them and those who want to experience the new nether can do so, its a win win for everyone as far as I'm concerned. It will also be much easier to make a new warp than trying to rebuild everything that people have done (even with staffs help, it will be easier for them and players to make a new warp than W/E and rebuilding and such - which could increase lag, of which we are all too much familiar with atm)
This is also a fine option. Just use the nether further out. I'm fine with a reset too, if the new nether updates are so much better
