I've been trying to think of cool building ideas for the server. Here are some categories I think are worth trying -- but keep in mind that many areas (i.e. Coal Town and Crazy Town) have specific themes:
- Recognizable Buildings or Landmarks: Famous bridges, buildings, monuments, etc. They can be fictional (like our Giant Tardis) or realistic like the Golden Gate Bridge or the Roman Colosseum.
- Giant Objects or Props: In CrazyTown we have a giant sheep, a camera, a banana, an apple, a pawn, etc. We also have a giant cheeseburger restaurant down near the spawn.
- Redstone Devices: Whether it's a flashing sign, a music box, an arrow shooter, traps, auto-harvesters, or secret doors, let your creativity flow with Redstone. Many of us are actively looking for talented Redstone builders to help with projects.
- Farms and Orchards: Set yourself up with crops that are renewable (cactus, sugar cane, mushrooms, etc.) or plant a bunch of trees. These are a great resource. You can check out one example if you warp to familyfarm.
- Castle: Not just a bunch of cobblestones in a square, but make it epic. Include towers and moats and stables and dungeons and rugs. Look at some pictures of real castles preview.tinyurl.com/realcastles before you jump in.
- Pixel Art: Create a giant painting or flat wall including cartoon characters, Internet meme's, etc.
- Ships or Submarines: Utilize some of the water space to make a pirate ship, aircraft carrier, submarine, sailboat, etc.
- Transport Infrastructure: Set up a train or subway going from one area of the map to another.
- Lend a Hand: Help build an epic project, mine or farm for someone, or level rough terrain for others to build.
- Excavate Underground: Ever bust into an awesome cave system? Excavate to make it into rooms -- or in epic caves, a complete underground city.
- Mechs or Robots: A Star Wars AT-AT, ED-209 (the mech from RoboCop), an old wind-up toy robot, or a turret from TF2 or Portal.
