minecraft rotating world
you are to play survival minecraft, version 1.21.5. your life depends on it. the lives of everyone you care about depend on it. it's critical.
what is this?
effectively, a world will be played in singleplayer and passed around, so that we may all play on this world asynchronously. anyone may take a turn at any time, so long as no-one else is.
advice
none of this is particularly rigid, but to facilitate our collaboration:
- at the very least, announce it when you start your turn in this thread (so people know a turn is being taken), and when you end it, you should post again and provide the world download after (see below).
- you may have your turn be as short as you want; 1 minute turns are as welcome as 1 hour turns. try to keep it below 1.5 hours as an upper limit.
- try not to perform extreme active sabotage. if accidents happen (i.e death, creeper explosion, whatever), then they happen and that's fine. if you're not trying to be a bad person, you're not violating this.
- to keep things fair, please refrain from cheats, mods, xray, item duplication glitches, using the seed externally, etc. (to be clear, things like 'TNT duplicators' are fine.)
- feel free to be as productive or unproductive as you want. there are no standards here and you don't need to follow anyone else's plans, just try to have fun.
- feel free to be bold, also. if you see something you think could be better, no need to ask; you can improve it.
technical details
the world is vanilla 1.21.5.
please upload an archive of the world folder (found in .minecraft/saves) when you're done (i don't mind where so long as the next person can reasonably access it). it would be nice if you numbered it too. this is also where you'll extract the archive to obtain the world.
if you're on linux, you can achieve this by going into .minecraft/saves and running tar -czf rotation-n.tar.gz '(folder name)'.
if you're doing it some other way, please make sure just a single folder is at the top level of the archive to avoid any unarchival explosion incidents.
communications
if you'd like to engage in protracted conversation or liveblog about what you're doing or whatever, feel free to join us on apionet at #mcr, or (perhaps preferably, but it's bridged both ways) on XMPP at mcr@conference.ubq323.website. screenshots and liveblogging are welcome and encouraged.
anyway, i have taken the first turn already (about 30 minutes of gameplay). i will upload the first iteration of the world in the next post. feel free to take the next turn.
