You might have noticed already that when you get out of spawn and go to the wilderness its just messed up right ? Why not make a mini project and make it look nice ? by putting proper dirt and stone on the ground, making some hills , trees and flowers and such ? Just to make the guests and members happy :DD Just msg me if you want to help with this small project and just get started with putting dirt in and stuff anytime .

What about removing all those unfinished structures? No one is going to cry "grief." right?

NOOOO!!! MY COBBLE HOUSE!!@# /grief /grief /grief
Lol, seriously the houses arent getting griefed, its the whole wilderniss thats griefed.
There are barely any trees or sand everything is sooooo messed up.
Im actually building flintwoods embassy building in the wilderniss now on a hilltop.
Goodluck with your thread i hope people will listen and patch up the world.

Just an idea, but why not have a command to take players out of spawn and tp them into the wilderness at random coordinates? This would eliminate the three things and WHY the wilderness border at spawn is so unappleaing in the first place.

1. Newcomer griefers feel less of a need to ruin the landscape if they are scattered all over the place without the chance of someone seeing the mess they have left on the server. Griefers grief because they want an identity and to be recognized, regardless if famous or infamous. They want their accomplishments to be seen. Having random wilderness teleports would greatly reduce the abundance of chances where their profane attacks could be seen by other honest greenhorn members that still have doubts on the legitimacy and quality of the community on this server.

2. Resources!!! If you have just started out and wandered into the wilderness through spawn, you will probably starve before you find a forest or unexplored cave system. Most newcomers do not know about the mining world until later when they discover the portal or see it in chat. Thus, they do most of their resource collecting in the main world, and leave it barren and unappealing to future newcomers that walk the same path out of spawn and into the wild.

3. In continuance from the above, some tear things up as they go since they know that they wouldn't settle down in a place right on the wilderness border where they could get griefed easily. They plan to grab what they can before traveling to find a remote safe place to call home, whether it be in a town or deep into the wild. They do not care about the border area since it is somebody else's business. By spawning into a remote spot in the wild, they feel the area around them is their home, their territory, and would do a much better job at preserving the natural beauty of the landscape. Seriously, who would want a desktop background of the land right outside the wilderness border with spawn over a background of natural land generation.

Just an idea and some reasons, I hope an admin takes this into consideration.

Talk to Fish when he comes on Here's a thread about the same topic-

Not sure about how it could cause lag, the cords are random, not necessarily evenly spaced. But I understand how those in the wild want to stay hidden. Not sure if it is worth it or not. Repairing the land on the border just seems like a lost cause to me.

Just make people be unable to build in wildernis... Unless youre in a town.
This might sound harsh but its the only solution to a better wildernis.

Instead of all this we can maybe ask the admins to make the whole wilderness reset except for the towns . So everything in between towns get reset ...

people have houses in wilderness and like to build in the wilderness

But I dont find it an excuse to "grief" and mess up the wilderniss.
What if you have a beautifull home, or an amazing town, and everything around it is just dug out or chopped away?
How would you feel about that?

I'd think it would be great that they dug up a free moat around my house!

jk I understand that, I think people should get more of an incentive to gather resources in mining world though, as of now, only moral is directing them to mining world

Or lawrence makes the trees be able to walk and invincible, and  murder the people who try to chop them down, hell yea xd.

Lol watch the price of wood skyrocket! Soon enough, a log might be worth more than a diamond block.
