Yet I ask myself, why on top of it. Minecraft is completely different from Wurm, minus /indev/. We can’t have moving boats made out of assorted blocks.
But what we can do is impossible of Wurm — making our own worlds. Even better, YOU can host the server! Want a river? Make one! Want an ocean? Make one! Want a city-themed world made out of blocks? … You get the idea.
Now that’s just Creative mode. /indev/ is very different, and is almost like Wurm. You have to tear down blocks and craft them into tools. Make a block forge. Create a humongous mine/underground house lit with torches.
Worried about hostiles? Switch them off in the Difficulty level and have freedom from being killed.
When /indev/ goes multiplayer, you just know the playerbase is going to explode, and servers popping up left and right.
Best thing about planning in Minecraft? YOU DON’T NEED FOOD/WATER! 😀 The only reason you kill is to give yourself food to increase your health (if you have hostiles on).
But anyway, probably the only ‘purpose’ of the change would be to list status of the portal worlds. Maybe when the server is finally ready I can issue alerts to anyone reading the blog if the server goes down or whatever.
