custom trees
« on: 13 Dec 2015, 17:01:51 »
While we are thinking about ways to customize our builds, I thought I would bring up trees. The custom trees in the wild around Noobstown are awesome, but there is no way to plant the saplings to get another! It would be great if there were some way to obtain these wild trees for use on your wild plot or in your town. It is surprisingly difficult to build a large tree that looks Minecraft natural. I would be cool to stand in my living room with a plate of tacos ( https://www.noobscraft.com/idea/interior-tree-farm-decorations-donation-pack/msg85968/#msg85968 ) looking at a forest of giant, custom trees.

I agree, even though the trees I make for my town look okay-ish, I would like to be able to make my town a secluded forest of tall reaching spruce trees, and then across the bridge have magnificent branching oaks. And as crafty mentioned, doing this while standing on tacos would be pretty cool. Except I'd eat all the tacos before I start building. Oops.

I can't support this enough. I'm super hesitant to cut down custom trees on my wild chunks because you can't recreate them without it being a pain.

I'm sorry I've only just gotten around to responding to this.

It is definitely possible for us to do this, or something similar. It might not necessarily work through saplings, but possibly commands; I'll have to see when I get around to it. I will add it to the ever expanding list of things to add though for sure, I don't see anything wrong with it :D. We've had an idea of something very similar to be added for sometime now so it might come as part of that.

It will definitely need to be carefully considered as to prevent wood abuse though, but that will obviously have to be decided during development; if you have any ideas about that I'd love to know.

You could somehow make it so that if you try to do a tree feller on the tree that it only breaks the block that you use it on.  Like somehow having the tree be unconnected to all parts of itself, but still have it be whole.  Also, maybe have some really big trees that have a hollow inside, so that you could have a ladder or vines going down underground or up to a treehouse or something like that.  Also, would you use Nbz to buy the custom trees or something else?  Would you be able to choose what kind of custom tree you want that's avalible, or just get a random one?

I was going to say, as andrew said, you could charge a base amount of money based on the wood in the tree. So it would be a cost-for-block more or less.
