I was trying to do a subway from Spawn to CrazyTown but the way that carts work just make it difficult. I like the idea, but until they get something like trains or self-powered carts or something, it might be difficult. But, again, I do like the idea.

Yeah... don't you think it would be cool to get in a mine cart and press forward and it moves?

Maybe when we start the new server we could do a subway that goes in the 4 cardinal directions; north, south, east and west. The main subway station could be near Spawn. It would be a good [safe] way to go a fair distance from Spawn without getting Creeperized... or Endermanized now. It would be best to do a base subway line before we build anything else. If an admin could build the "tunnels" before we build anything above ground. In fact... if we build roads on the surface above the tunnels it would be easy to track where the subway lines are. I don't know. We can see if Scott has a subway in his plans. I'm excited about starting a new world and being able to plan things in advance -- whether we do a subway or not.

We could build a subway station near spawn, and have it run underground to various locations. I've already said that I plan on dedicating any leftover materials from building spawn, also I have given approval on this, so if anyone wants to get on this project speak with blazing because he will need as much help gathering and building as possible.

Yeah Thanks For The Ideas I Think I Will Make It Like A Real Subway As there is a north east south west line (may have a vote on names for them) And There Will Be Stops Along the route (example Scott Town) Then There Would Be A Route Going the other way to get back to the spawn. The Spawn Will be the hub where you can go anywhere from there. yeah it is a easier way to get from a to b (as you say dont get creeperized or endermanised) again thanks for the ideas! Blaze

I'm more than willing to help. I've been asking and no one seems to know anything. How about we get started on Grand Tardis Station, then we can work the branch lines?
Why would we need mods to make the tunnels? This is minecraft!

So the plans are to build the subway system without mods? =] That way it can be a big community accomplishment?
I just have a few questions, though...
1) When the train station is built, and the track is being constructed - how far will the track go? Is there a destination already planned for the carts?
2.) How much gold are you looking to obtain? - I would maybe be willing to donate some to you, AuntBeast... Since you helped me with materials to construct my bank.
I have 10 gold blocks, and will be working to get more later today (when I get home) while I'm exploring... (So, 90 gold ingots right now) - That's quite a bit! - Let me know how much you need and I'll try to provide it.
If you need any help with anything else (whether it be building or gathering materials), let me know!
-Robert

Ok, these are my ideas...We have enough donations to get started.
I think the Grand Tardis Subway Terminal should be below /spawn as it allows people to get there quickly.
I also think we should go a few levels below sea level. Since /spawn is quite high above it, it would allow folks to have a little bit of basement area for their homes/shops.
I'm not sure what powers the mods/admins have, but I know they built the bank out of cobble, then it was converted to bedrock. Perhaps if we build the structure out of say, cobble, they could convert it to something more aesthetically appealing.
Also, since we have colored wool, if the walls were say, 3 blocks high, the middle block could be the color of the line (blue line...north) etc. Which would allow folks to link in, with a color code. (i.e. Take the Blue Line to Pink Line)
We really need to set the coordinates so that folks don't have to worry about where they can/can't build.
Are we planning on building sub-stations along the way? Should this be standardized? Also, being underground, we can use the resources for the line, and not a building. We also don't have to worry about exterior design as much.
Let's get the basics hammered out so we can begin work. Many donations are flowing in and we need to show that we are serious.

We'll probably have to go way below sea level. Otherwise, when we start the tunnels, they will probably be flooded in the river/ocean biomes.
