Allowed to make a public mine near spawn?

[Auxon]

As the title says could I make a public mine near spawn.

When you spawn and walk across the bridge on the left side.
This would go straight to the bottom of the map and a huge mining area, for new players to go and easy access.

Well, if there's already been build I guess not. If you don't destroy other people's property or build on theirs, then I don't see why not.

I'd check with Shared, he's pretty much taken over spawn for some reason. It's starting to get a bit cramped and the large pixel art is in somecases being obscured.

I see no reason we shouldn't designate a public mining island in the new generated terrain and allow a warp to it, with a sign note near the spawn.

Rules draft:

* No building in the mining area, except for traversing the mine as necessary. (i.e. ladders, but no minecarts)
* No territorial claims to any part of the mine. Your shaft is everyone's shaft.
* Exposed resources are first come first serve, unless someone is actively mining the immediate area. If you want it, mine it. If you leave it, hope it's still there when you get back.
* If you uncover a Void hole, plug it with a cobblestone and stick a torch on top of it.

Other ideas?

i really like this. if you want, make another thread about this idea. sounds like a good idea.

Sounds like strip mining to me ;-).

If we want to keep the visibility down we could use my idea for an underwater cavern, I've already started laying glass down in a 64x64 area by my island. This would probably fit the bill. I was hoping for a huge underground/underwater cavern with a glass ceiling.

Say 85% per layer is block that gives us 3482 blocks per layer and its around 43 blocks deep. So we're talking around 150k bricks all told. That big enough?

I hate math.

Hummm.......

*more onomatopoeia related to calculators*

I estimate that the vast majority of this allocation of stone would be necessary for my masterwork, especially if I took it out to the final phase.

Likewise, thank you for helping me put it in perspective. It sounds exceedingly crazy now. Man..... I'll need a VERY private place to build this piece of shit.

Sounds like a great idea.

Your shaft is everyone's shaft.

hey now...

 

[Auxon]

I made the public mine, I just had one rule

Do NOT make 1 long path in the mine for no reason, if you are to mine make it even not stupid please.

Sounds like a great idea.



hey now...

Ahahahaha Nice
