I am setting up a new server, this server will consist of 4 or 5 servers + a hub server bungeecorded together.

One of these servers will be a creative world for people to just go and build what ever they want.
My problem is there is a bit of a split opinion between myself and my admins about how we should do the creative server.

The two options:

1. Plots
This is my choice.
We would have the world set up in plots of equal size.
When someone joins that server they will spawn at the spawn area we will be building and from there it will give players the information they need for the world and advise them to claim a plot.
Once they claim a plot they can only build in that plot and no one else can build there until they allow it.

We may have two or three worlds for different ranks to be able to get bigger plots should they want it. (donator benefit)

2. Open
This would mean that just like the plot idea when a new player joins this server they will spawn at a spawn we will build and from there it will give them all the information they need and tell them how to use the world.
The world would simply be a giant flat land world, the benefit of this is that if someone wants to build a massive 'thing' they can just find a big open area somewhere and do that. The cons of this are that as far as i am aware there is no easy to way manage griefing.
This world would likely have world guarded regions at set distances around spawn so that the highest ranks can build right next to the spawn and as you go further away lower ranks can build and new players can build at the furthest point (which would be about 500-800 blocks from spawn) which would be the donator benefits for this world.


Personally i think the plots idea is best, just because it will manage itself and there is no risk of griefing unless a player allows someone to build in their plot.

If anyone has any idea which would be most popular with players. maybe players hate the plots idea and prefer to just be able to build anywhere they can find space. I personally have never played on a creative server so i don't know.

if anyone has any other ideas for how we could do the creative world that would be helpfull too.

Thanks anyone that replies

Players still like plots but you can probably get more players if it's open.

I like plots myself better though because it's easier to track grief, who made what, etc. either way though, you should disable spawning any mobs, unless you want a ton of mobs everywhere. I also recommend for plots getting the PlotMe plugin.

Good luck with your servers!
