Server Ideas

After the Sky Genie Challenge is over, the main server will be taken down and be replaced with the test server. The address and port will be the same as the main so you will not need to change anything when joining. For about 2 or 3 weeks, the test server will be the main server. This will be the time all mods or server changes will be tested by the community. For now I'm looking for what ideas or mods you would like to try on the server. Post all your ideas for the server here.

From what I've heard, this server will be using Bukkit.
It'd be worthwhile to look through the plugins for this, and find some good ones.

This I would find extremely helpful.

Note: I haven't actually tested this. Because I'm lazy. And there's nothing you can do about it.

That minimap sounds good to me. What does Bukkit do exactly? I never quite understood it. And, on an offtopic note, your signature is awesome Tokage.

Bukkit is like the server version of modloader. You load other mods into it, and they will be compatible with eachover.
Also, I don't really wan't a minimap, unless it's togglable.

Thanks for clearing that up. Minimap could be aggrivating, it would really have to be toggleable. I also like some mods such as the watermelon mod or the obsidian weapons mod, but they are not necessary. I definitely do not want Mo' Creatures. I don't need mobs deconstructiong my house, trolls can do that just fine.

I'd like to see some sort of Pvp type thing, perhaps there is some mod that can temporary grant players items?

I don't know, perhaps PVP areas and non PVP areas. I kind of suck at fighting in Minecraft. It's the lag. Item giving could be neat, but how would it work? We already have the Sky Genie gift system.

You might want to check Mineology.net server, they use great mods, including one mod that does what you mention here, something like CTF too. Your previous items go into an invisible chest of some sort, then you get arrows, a pick, bow and a sword. When you exit the arena, you get your original items back

That arena idea sounds awesome and really hard to pull off. Perhaps a reward to the victor as well?

Do we get to build our arena, or is it a premade schematic? Building an arena for us to fight in would be awesome.

I think a community made arena would be better, as we all get to express our own ideas and opinions rather than the admin just slapping one down.

Yeah, a coperatively built arena would be completely awesome.

Enabling zmod (flymod and/or cheat mod) would be very much preferable.

I'm against enabling flymod.
