Hey there! I've been pondering lately with the idea of starting a minecraft server and I've had trouble coming up with ideas for the server. What I want from you in this thread is WHAT SHOULD THE SERVER HAVE? I'm pretty good with configuring plugins so I can do that, however custom plugin ideas would have to be made by someone else. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help!

Main focus: Post what you like to do on a minecraft server. What plugins do you like also?

I am not sure if you may use this...but it would be totally cool if you built a theme park on your server. If you need help, I can help you because I have co-built and built many before. Also, I can help with decorating spawn and random places here and there if you need it. I have some experience on this, I helped build the spawn of a server of a friend, but if you need more I might be able to get pics. But my suggestion is to build a theme park...Oh! Almost forgot! For survival and creative you should use the plotme pugin. It is convenient and is also a great way to prevent grief and reading. Well, hope you can take some time and read this, and maybe (but I doubt it) use some of my (lousy, probably) suggestions. Thanks!

I have an idea that I wanted to us myself but I've never gotten the time or resources to make it happen.

Essentially it's a war between two factions (Name 1 and Name 2) they each get their own island and members of each island can't access the other island, the basic parameter is to build up for war, users can get valuable things from the middle island which is the hub for rare enchantments, diamonds and such, it's also the main PVP hub for the majority of the server time, each match will last around a month and at the end all island will be open to begin an all out war we're the faction with the most kills wins, after this the server resets and a new game begins.

Quite a big idea! Having it run a month seems a bit long, I like the idea though! Thank you very much!

Actually i suggest creating a unique factions server (iv become successful with this) i suggest making a faction server with your own twist to it. I know your thinking "oh people don't want to just go to another faction server its not original" however you can make allot out of an original idea. For example you could add various plugins that add up to really make the players experience awesome. Use the "fun section" on the bukkit plugin list. Honestly you can turn a basic faction server into something no one has seen before with the help of a few plugins.

Yes I've thought about this and a custom survival too, it seems like it would be a bit of a challenge to do without making custom plugins though :/

If there's anything I like, its the survival servers and the minigames servers. Have a mix of them.

i have a very original idea but what if you take my idea and run away and not give credit or say you made it. < very unlikely but still.

Come up with like a City server where people have to get jobs and buy a house or an apartment and can start a business then over time the business can become a corporation and have a tall tower in the city. But everything revolves around money. Just do your Admins and Mods don't feel left out they can own the casinos and be the police and politicians and judges if someones does something bad. Different Crimes can have different punishments. But instead of making them wait somewhere for a certain amount of time just make it cost them money.

Murder: 2500$
Theft: 50$ - 500$

That is just a slight example. Pm me if you have any questions.

There is one simple thing I recommend doing, be original. Don't do something that has been done 1000 times over. Try to do something that hasen't really been done and it will be successful.

Yes I've had trouble coming up with original ideas, without knowing how to make custom plugins it is really hard to think of things. My idea so far was a custom survival world however I would need some plugin creators to help with that.

Make it a server with 4 different worlds: Minigames, Survival, Creative and CityBuild. CityBuild is where a bunch of experienced builders build up a skycraper filled city, where ordinary members can explore, but not build. You should also have different ranks.

Ranks you can earn
1. M (member)
2. B (Builder) Play for 15+ hours
3. W (Wizard) Play for 30+ hours
4. A (Addicted) Play for 50+ hours

Staff Ranks
1. Helper or Trial Mod
2. Mod (No op, but helps around, has worldedit and creative)
3. Admin (Op, Trusted, must at least be W)
4. Co-owner (I can be this lol jk)
5. Owner (The owner)

Donator ranks
Minor Donator (Pay $5) Gets 3 plots on creative world
Donator (Pay $10) Gets 5 plots on creative+ gets to use /tp *username*
Donator+ (Pay $20) Gets 10 plots on creative+ gets to use /tp and can make warps
Donator++ (Pay $50) Gets unlimited plots on creative+ /tp, warps and /nick *they can only nick themselves*
Super-Donator (Pay $100+) All of the above+ can go /kit SD (Gives them enchanted diamond armour, enchant d sword, same with the rest of the tools, plus a lot of assorted potions.

Thats all from me!

Ever used Multiverse? A different world dedicated to plots... Survival or creative doesn't really matter
