    In my opinion the area people generate can be quite unfairish. Some people have a couple of well, a temple and a dungeon. While some have none at all. For me, I only have 2 well and 1 temple, having an ender sword enchanted with xp boost (I'm not really complaining since that sword can 1 hit most of the mobs). But still, people can be spawner/loot rich or none, through only rng. (Dk how /is creating works, I would assume its random)

    But, you won't be able to touch em since most of em are spawn protected right?

    go far north or south, there is no protection as the world is big but not all get occupied by players

    Random generation is random. Not much we can do about the way the world gens in. It is more or less a template world sand sandstone and worldgen structures.

    I like the rng aspect, I had a desert temple whilst my fiancé MisfitGemma had a chest by a shuttle piece, it adds to the feeling multiple people fell from the stars onto what is basically minecraft tattooine

    All because Sir Will wasn't looking where he was flying... I mean we had mechanical issuea. We were supposed to pass by the oasis on our way past the planet,but due to mechanical issues we crashed..

  14. You have a lot of mechanical issues. The sled does not have that many moving parts, does it?

    The world gen is from forever stranded, the crashed plane is being pasted by us every n blocks. We can define the size of each region, but that can only be done on server reset as it would not play nicely with already created regions :(

    When one restarts the island we replace the center, hence looted areas are not being reset. Same with exploring outside the regions. When another player joins and gets an island in such area, the stuff might already be looted.

    Unfortunately I do not see an applicable solution for this issue, because Sponge does not have a regeneration feature :cry: and the schematic (responsible for pasting structures/modifying areas) does not support an async/slow mode which would not freeze the server :cry: (it is already freezing the server for a few seconds whenever a new region is being created, while it only places the plane)
