Morning Wood always strives to express the true beauty of minecraft. We started in V2 as a small castle with beautiful surroundings. In V3 we went for a cozy village theme in the woods next to the ocean. When V4 came around we tried a mountainous region with a deep valley dividing the shops and the plots connected by a magnificent bridge. In V5 we attempted to revisit the village idea in the landscaping, while adding the buildings of a city. With the release of V6 on its way, the staff of Morning Wood has been hard at work to bring you a great community, an interactive game park, and a beautiful looking town.
Our new town designs once again combine the beauty of the nature of minecraft, with the glory of the city. With the help of redstone we plan to make Morning Wood the most efficient town available by using the energy of the sun to power many parts of the town. Here are a few pictures of what lies ahead in the future of the town.
The center of the town, our new spawn point, displays the number of wins each district has acquired in our new hunger games style competition, District Wars.

Morning Wood is strong in the belief that you work for what you have. If you want free items, you have come to the wrong place. If you want help better understanding how the server works or some tips on how to build, use redstone, farm, or mine, Morning Wood is the place to go. We are happy to help those in need, but we do not put help beggars.
Morning Wood has always tried to offer up shelter to those who can not afford to buy the pricey plots of big towns. That is why we have built a place for people to stay while they get their grounds set in Noobstown. We have built a small 2 story duplex (as seen in the below pictures). Each room comes stocked with: 1 bed, 1 crafting table, 2 furnaces, 5 single chest, and toggle-able redstone lamps. The furnaces will come stocked with 8 coal to help people get started, and one chest will contain 6 cobblestone, and 2 logs of wood. Here are a few pictures of the Duplexes.

This is what the interior will look like. The kitchen is on the left, and the storage closets are on the right.

In V5 Morning Wood was a quiet town, we didn't try to get the most residents or have the most money. We wanted to look nice, and offer a cozy place for people to live in that also offered a wide variety of things to do. Some of these things included Hawthorn Harbor, a beautiful fishing dock. Miner Dave's Cave, an imaginary character, bent on bringing down Morning Wood by stealing from the bank and hiding in caves riddled with parkour challenges. We even had our very own water park with 2 fun slides, a 3 tier diving tower, large coconut trees, and of course, a lake lined with sand.
All that said, when Morning Wood had it's first birthday in May of 2012 we threw a party, a few minigames, a race in the parkour cave, and some pvp in the events world. That little party sparked a brilliant idea of an entire area dedicated to parties. Without further ado, I proudly present Party Park!
An overview of the entire park built on my private build server. This picture only shows what has been tested and works perfectly, there are many other games still in the making not shown in this picture. I will also only be touching on a few of the ones shown, but there are 7 in this picture alone.

A popular game making it's way back from V5 is the dispenser drop game named, "A Drop Of Luck." In this game players stand in one of three rooms. Depending on which ticket you buy (they will be cheap) you will get items tossed at you by a dispenser, but be careful, there are fire charges and arrows in there, and if you die, your items are placed in the dispenser for others to win.

Another basic game that we are adding is Connect Four. Using sand and gravel players drop the blocks to attempt to connect four of their block type. But be cautious of what the other player is doing and block any chances they have to connect four. First person to connect four of their block type wins.
An overview of the inside of the game, as you can see players will go up the stairs and place their block in the above slots. Then go back down to watch what their opponent does and plan their next move.

A random game I played by myself to demonstrate what it looks like. As you can see the gravel player one on the top left. It was really hard to beat myself, so I kinda cheated and made sand lose for the demonstration.
