I've been talking about it a lot recently, but I've been hard working on some big changes to how commands will be used in the Wilderness hopefully to make it much much easier to make use of all of the features that the system has to offer, and to allow for you to get going with things without a massive guide of commands.
I promised I'd post some previews of some of the changes (https://www.noobscraft.com/idea/the-wild-help-command/msg87922/#msg87922) so this post is just going to be a few videos of the coming features. I realise that the videos below are likely quite small, but you can click the expand button in the bottom right of them to make them bigger! Things aren't completely done yet so there might be changes to what you see, and I'm definitely open to feedback too.
There's more changing than just what I'm showing in these videos, I've listed a few things to note about each video but a full change log will be posted once the changes are available on the server, which I'm really working forward for it to be before Christmas :). You might see a few of the changes in the video which aren't specifically highlighted by my mouse wiggling, if you've got any questions please feel free to ask them.
Changes to the Wilderness Chunk List
In the video:
- New chunks list preview
- No need to use /wild chunks list anymore, just use /wild chunks will do the job
- Ability to manage aspects of any of your chunks even if you're not stood inside them at the time
- Ability to mark specific chunks using a certain block in the list to quickly identify them
- Quick view of the options in the individual chunk menu
- Ability to quickly teleport to chunks without using the home command
Changes to the individual Chunk commands
In the video:
- New individual chunk menu, replacing /wild chunk info
- No need to use /wild chunk info anymore, just using /wild chunk will do it
- Ability to quickly see and then toggle all aspects of the chunk
- Ability to quickly sell the chunk
- Quick view of the new help list The text it shows in chat will be adjusted before release
- Ability to quickly find out the 'number' of your Wilderness chunks for the home command
Changes to buying new Wilderness Land
In the video:
- No need to use the confirm command anymore, it's all done with the one command
- No need to type out the long borderless command anymore, it's now all part of the one command
- Chunk pricing has been dramatically reduced
- Disconnected/separated land extra fees are much lower now, and are clearly outlined when purchasing
- Chunk borders now include torches every few blocks automatically
- Chunks purchased directly next to other chunks which have slabs at the highest block now don't have borders on the connecting sides, and they'll remove the borders from the other connected chunks too
- The border slabs now nicely go under trees (and several other blocks too) so no more having to climb trees to find them
Changes to Wilderness Friends
In the video:
- New friends list menu, quickly listing all of your friends
- Increased Wilderness friends limit
- No need to type out /wild friends list just using /wild friends does the same thing
- Ability to quickly add in friends from the list of online players just by clicking
- Ability to remove your Wilderness friends irrespective of if they're online or not!
Wilderness Builder and Organiser options also work in a similar way to the new friends menu.
That's all the previews for now, I'm working on the final parts of it now and any final fixes etc., but all going to my new revised plan it will hopefully be ready before Christmas :D. As I said above if you've got any questions or feedback I'm open to hearing it. This is a big change to how you'll do things so I am definitely willing to listen to your suggestions and hear about anything you think might not be as nice to use.
Just to be clear none of these changes are actually live on Noobstown yet, they're all being worked on ready for release soon; there will obviously be a post on the site once it's actually live on the server.

I love the changes in buying wilderness land, it will help many and many new players.
Also saves a bit time, thanks for that.

Love love LOVE the improvements to chunk buying! Just the better placement of the slabs, and how the common border is handled, would be awesome in itself, but the torches too? So, so helpful.
I'm gonna hoard up my free chunks until this gets implemented!

I already have a bunch extra and when or if I expand my places I will be glad to have a better system!
