What features would you want in a Minecraft Zombie server
Hey there! I am a modern zombie server owner. I am currently working on my server with my top of the end staff trying to fill a 20,000 by 15,000 block world (That is a 300,000,000 surface area!). I am working with my developers on the coding for our plugin's for the server, and well we where wanting to see what the community wanted. We are interested in features that you want. If we chose your feature, we will add your name to our list and give you an Alpha pass to everything if your suggestions stands as the best.

Hey guys! If you are interested in being part of the team send me a pm on Planet Minecraft or even if you wanna get more details about the closed alpha pm me as well. Thank u!

There's already alot of zombie-style servers out there now. :L Maybe it can be successful if you make it.. unique.
Thats my goal to have it unique and unlike any other. Thats why I aimed for the Walking Dead community as it is probably the most realistic possibility if zombies are real.
Well then. I geuss I'll have to REALLY start stepping up my game for the release. STAFF: PREPARE FOR A MAP OR SOMETHING
Just a heads up! Plugin is being updated with most of these ideas that you guys have suggested. We will be going live in about less then a month. CARS AND GUNS WILL BE ADDED NEXT MONTH!
It will be a free to play alpha test just to get some of the bugs out.

Added a poll.
Zombies
Ok seriously: Make some one plugins and textures. Thats for me the most essential way to make it popular

Everything will be server side with plugins. And we will have a costume server texture pack for the best experience.
thanks everyone for your amazing ideas!
unfortunatly we have hit a considerable bump in the development of the server and so we have had to delay the release for a little while. DONT WORRY!! the server IS on its way so sit tight!
please continue to show the wonderful support you all have and keep sending all your ideas in!
and remember, we are hiring! think you have what it takes to make the team? contact myself or Matthew1871 for details.

We have decided to add this under the players name to see what group,c clan, and what class they are (bandit, healer, etc based on the color of the tag.)
(Killers)(luke45678)
That shows that I am in the Killers clan, in luke45678's group, and that I am a healer due to my green tag.

This thread appears to be pertaining to requiring help for a Minecraft server. Therefore, it has been moved to "Server Help".
I see that it does look like server help but my main idea was to have this post suggest ideas as what they want to see in a server such as my own.
Maybe you can find like treasure maps and that or buy them and they show all the areas with the best of loot.
Also, with the infection, maybe when a person dies, they come back as a zombie, and slowly mutate into new forms like it goes normal, pigman, skeleton, wither skeleton, etc.
Then when you die as a zombie, that's when you have to respawn.
And also maybe some books that spawn that tell the story of different people in the world, and maybe how the virus came to be and whatnot.

I'm confused as to what you mean by "they come back as a zombie, and slowly mutate into new forms". Is that for just player zombies or for all zombies?
Also, the story books idea is not half bad.

i was looking at the aether 2 mod recently and i just remembered the party system where you can see the other members of your party's health and hunger. I was thinking that we could implement something similar as it would really help with teamwork. Is that even possible? i hope so!
I hope that we can implement that aswell, because I think that's a very good idea. On MineZ and other zombie servers, you don't have a teamwork system, which is (in my opinion) a bad idea.
Make there be NPC's in cities in protected areas that give quests for rewards, food, weapons ect. Everyone likes having challenges right???
another idea incoming!
this is to build on my tutorial idea from a few months before. I was previously thinking we could use command blocks to tell the guy in the tutorial how to do the stuff, but with the new update where we can customise sound ingame i think we could use the vinal records to give a tutorial to the person. if you dont know what im talking about, download 'jeoffrey's chamber' by the noxcrew and play through that adventure map! i know that this will take a lot of effort but i think it would be a great addition to the server!
thanks fo' listening! (or reading...)

Random we got a Tutorial area we just need to fix it up but I do like the idea of the sounds maybe we can get someone to do the voice acting for the guy
hey matt, idea incoming!
when we finish the map (which i know is a long way off but whatever), what about we redecorate the map for different events. like for christmas we put up christmas decorations and give zombies christmas hats and for halloween we put jacko'lanterns around the place and dress the zombies in costumes (if that can be done). i think that this would help keep the server alive and new for everyone, and keep the staff some stuff to do after the server is complete. we could also have tim retexture some of the items (like the melee items) for the events,
if it wasnt clear, we would build on a copy of the map and then switch the maps out for a week or so over the event period.
hope you like my idea! :3

While that does add value to the server, (from what I'm thinking) it will be very labor-intensive, which may or may not be a bad thing. Anyways, a good idea, but not very practical.
Two words. Frags and bleeding. You get two hits from a zed, you start bleeding. You need to heal in order to stop bleeding. Also, frags, because those are really easy to use and it's pretty nice to smell high-grade explosives after detonation
Indeed it does. All are already in.
Reec3tyAh I'v played on that server before and I have to say its a awesome plugin, I also think I have seen you on the serverwade654
1. I agree with the random event thing.
2. I agree with the hard to reach chest locations.
3. What server did you code for?
Thanks. I code my own servers form the ground up (obviously with plugins that I hook into like worldedit and whatnot. I'm the developer of CraftZ, which is a full scale replica of The War Z/Infestations in Minecraft. The map, guns, mechanics are all developed by myself with the assistance of outsourced builders to create the visual components. Soon to be creating A-Creed and Red Dead in Minecraft as well.
Anyway, not there to advertise, just to give you all some ideas. PM me if you ever want any, or any server tips.

I would like guns, headshots, severed limbs and stuff, also random spawned items everywhere.
I wanna say that most of those things have already been implemented or discussed before. However, I could be wrong, so it was a good idea suggesting this nonetheless.
This server sounds amazing! When it becomes public i'm gonna play 24/7
I would bet that donations would help them out greatly. If you cannot donate, I'm sure that voting for them on all the server lists they are signed up for would help greatly as well. In other words, back them or spread the word!
I don't know if you have this (cuz i'm too lazy to read through all the comments), but you should add something similar to the factions plugin like a team system.
backpacks, a pet system (the ability to have more than ONE pet) if the server map is a city create all sorts of secret paths/tunnels/hidden rooms, and if someone dies by a zombie, they become one
Love the idea and working on it.

Fellow (zombie) server dev here, willing to give you a few feature suggestions:
You could add events, such as random horde encounters. I've done my fair share of java experience, and if you fiddle around with triggers and hook it into WorldGuard or something that can define regions, you can make amazing things such as a boss encounter, mass spawn of horses, potion effects in certain areas on tick delays, whatever you can think of really.
Also make sure you put chests in hard-to-reach locations when building, you don't want players to just walk in and just see the chest right? On top of that, have a percentile of loot in a chest NOT spawn (in layman's terms, a chance that loot will not spawn in a stocked chest).

4. (unrelated) Mathew1887, am I bothering you by answering these posts? I've started to think that I come off sounding like I own the thread.

No I actually love it.
idk mabey like an occasional zombie siege where all of a sudden a whole bunch of zombies appear from nowhere and attack (sort of like a zombie siege on an npc village but of a much larger scale)
Get spout and add a gun pack! Thatll make the best zombie server ever!
I think that a local chat system (where anyone within 250 blocks can hear you) is a good idea, and then to have a radio for global chat. In this one server, the chat's too crowded, and I can't tell who's near me and wants to kill me or who isn't.
If there is pvp, Don't make safe zones. Players tend to wait just outside of them, and if other players try to leave they are attacked. If you do add safe zones though, make it to where you cant be attacked by a player for a short time after leaving one.
I agree. I've seen many a PVP server that have spawn campers. They aren't good servers either. Anyways, have it where there are no spawn campers or have multiple exits so one cannot spawn camp.
Make it so the only mob that can spawn naturally are zombies and giants
Well of course. It is a Minecraft Zombie server, not a Minecraft Zombie server +creepers+skeletons+ etc.
We are gonna have some interesting boss's for fun though Added custome effects. Also whats your opinion for Closed Alpha being up for 2-3 weeks and open alpha for a month and you have to pay $15?
Matthew_1871wade654Strawberrypickle01I think add guns is a good idea, but most people have small maps. Add bigger maps, and not to mention a few small ones wouldn't hurt! Also make it a bit challenging to kill zombies. Not just a few hits to kill it.
I think that the tougher zombies idea is a good idea. As for the bigger maps, I think they have that covered with over 3,000,000 blocks to fill.
To be corrected it is 300,000,000.
That guess was better than my earlier estimate XD
