Storyline


Peeta Migrian Cole was the owner of a mining company in Britian during the 1700's. His company was tim a time of great distress though as the British economy was falling and his findings were being worth less and less and less. But still every week he instructed his miners to keep mining because someday he believed they would find the great riches buried in the Earth. And someday, they did, Peeta Cole was so fanatical about the cavern he named it after himself. It was called 'The Caverns of PMC' thereafter.


However the miners heard something, so they were very tedious with deciding whether or not to explore it now or wait for the sound to stop. The lead miner, Andrew Graham was the called on his radio and was told to keep the miners down in the shaft because there was currently a war outside between different clans of the land. So they decided to explore it, many miners were killed though as there was a zombie dungeon in the cave, the remaining miners managed to lock up the dungeon and disable the spawner for good.


In hope of finding precious items known as Damonds and Geld, the miners started exploring the cave with what tools they had. Damonds and Geld were very precious during the 1700's because of their rarity. Only 1 in 1,000,000 caverns would have both Damonds and Geld. At the end of that day the search was ended with no precious materials found. So now Peeta has a large cavern of no worth in a falling economy. So he decides to create was no one has done before, he decided to turn the cavern into a spawn, a spawn where players can place read rules, hang out, and most importantly, a place where they can survive in the harsh, unforgiving war that was continuing above ground.


That was what was written in a notebook that miners 200 years later they found. They decided what was to continue the legacy of Peeta Migrian Cole and to finish construction of the spawn. They then worked for many years after that but they were finally done 9 years later .They had built what was one of the most successful underground caverns ever. People from all over the world had turned up to stay at a hotel that had been newly setup and to drink special exotic drinks from the underground caverns of PMC. The newly found owner of 'The Caverns of PMC', Patt Mellark Cine, decided that whoever were to find zombie heads throughout the world would be given a reward by the merchant at his shop set up at the spawn.

Download
In the .zip folder in the download there are 3 things, the 1 main MC world and 2 schematics for the program, MCEdit. The first schematic, o TheCavernsOfPMC-MAIN.schematico is the main underground part of the build and o TheCavernsOfPMC-GroundLevel.schematico is the above ground part of the build, remember to read the section on o Implementationo


How to implement it into the server


TELEPORTERS

The Teleporters that go to the surface can be changed/removed if you wish to use a plugin or anything else, if you are using the command blocks though, you will need to place the log cabin:

JMlZKKpng

At the surface (probably above where the cavern is) so people can access the cavern without using commands (If you do you commands that is). Just make sure to change the Coordinates in both the caverno s and log cabino s command blocks to the relative position

Instead of using a normal pressure plate to activate the command block, I have created a system that allows for vanilla player detection when standing in the log cabin. The spawner will spawn a fallingsand entity which falls & activates the tripwire which sends a pulse to the command blocks teleporting the play to whatever specified coordinates. The sand then gets destroyed by the half slab and burnt by the lava removin the entity to stop entity buildups that cause lag.

Also the trees/terraforming and such can be removed if you wish. Also a reminder, dono t forget to allow command blocks in the server settings if you are going to use them :)

Dynamic Lighting

OLSgdmszpng

This photo shows the way the dynamic lighting works, for the implementation of this you need to keep the daylight sensor at the bottom of the (Stone)tunnel and extend the tunnel to the surface where the grass is shown, and then there just has to be glass there. I would suggest using WorldGuard to protect this area to stop people breaking the glass and falling to their death.


Level

Be cautious about how far down the cavern is placed as if it is near bedrock it can produce depth(Void) fog

Note

All the villagers have been applied and Infinite Resistance 4 Effect which makes them invulnerable to attacks. So you will need to use MCEdit or another equivalent program that has the capabilities of removing entities if needed. This is simple on MCEdit, just select the entity and on the sidebar there is an option to o Delete Entitieso the entity marker should then disappear when this is done correctly.

Also, the villager trades can be edited using sethblingo s o CreateShopso MCEdit Filter (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13LyPP43twE)


Plugin Suggestions


I would suggest using the o Worldguardo plugin (http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/worldguard/) to keep mobs away and to stop players from breaking some of the technical bocks such as the invisible walls (as shown here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1QLl14eQo0). They technical blocks are quite fussy about where they are and which way they are facing. It took a lot of time and effort to create them. They are also very prone to breaking when a Block Update (http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Tutorials/Block_update_detector) happens. Also try not to break 1 of them as it will cause the rest to break. Back to o Worldguardo , I have created custom Iron golems with Infinite Lvl 127 Strength and Speed. The golems kill any mobs that are within their range. However they also kill any humans who try to hit them which is not good for a spawn.They are also very buggy and dono t always attack the mobs. So using the plugin o WorldGuardo it can stop any mobs spawning in a particular defined region. (No you cannot do /gamerule doMobSpawning false because that would stop all mobs from naturally spawning throughout the whole server.



Another plugin that could be used is the o Citizenso (http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/citizens/) Which could replace NPCo s such as the o Refereeo o Cyprezzo and o Parilo . The citizens plugin can create a ghost player entity that can talk, walk, look around. They can also use a certain players skin or can use the default skin(Steve).



The final plugin im gonna suggest is a lift plugin, such as Lift (http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/lift/) or SignLift (http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/signlifts/). Or you could just stick to the command blocks, oro ¦ im gonna say it, plain old ladders. (or stairs for that matter!)

So what did you like about this? I think I was very thorough in my explanation. If there are any spelling mistakes that don't seem intentional please tell me. Also, give me some ideas on what I should add to this! It seems pretty good however it could be improved. Remember, keep it to constructive critism and praise, no negative comments! anyway...

You know how there are spikes coming down from the top of the cave and pointing up out of the bottom in some caves? (Stalactites and stalagmites I think is what they are called) Well you could have the actual part where you spawn as a big cave room with a bunch of those making a circle around the spawn point.
