Org Minecraft Server

How about only removing entire biomes that clearly have nothing built on them? For example, the entire desert biome where Vlad's new village is could be left intact, but the massive tundra biome to the north could be completely regenerated? The number of biomes that have absolutely nothing built on them greatly outnumber the ones that do. But I have a feeling that if a biome is saved this way and an ocean biome is generated around it, it would look odd. Or at least it would look unnatural.

I have a feeling I'll start playing again when 1.7 is released. I'll rebuild the Iron Farm, and I'm feeling optimistic this time.

I have limited Internet connectivity until I first get a new house and second a new fixed line. So 12+ weeks.

Given the mine world viability. Is there an issue with creating more permanent satellite worlds rather than rebuilding our current one?

It can be done, but it does have implications. Multiple permanent worlds means much larger map space. The map files themselves aren't a big deal, as even our giant world is only a few gb total. However, the dynmap (realtime map) renders are massive. Lack of drive space is one of the reasons dynmap does not run on Mineworld. Adding a dynmap render for a second world would likely require me to upgrade the server (unless the world was very small) because I would exceed the space I've got allocated on our current one. So, the answer is that yes, it is technically possible, but it would require more money (not likely to survive a spousal veto). In addition, I'd be concerned about diluting the population of an already low-population world. In any case, the world can still get much, much larger. If we're ever in a situation where we really do want a lot more land, I can easily expand the boundaries of our world and generate new terrain, which would be done under the most modern terrain generation code. That would also likely require a server upgrade, but I would prefer it to multiple permanent worlds. The only reason I see for multiple permanent worlds is for alternate game modes, such as a creative world, or for running mods like Walls.

Also, is the Village Trading plugin meant to enable limitless transactions? Villagers don't want to trade with me no more.

It's supposed to, but the plugin is currently disabled because the author hasn't released a 1.6.4-compatible version. In any case, I've often found that even when it was enabled transactions weren't limitless like the plugin claimed.

Can you limit the size of dynamap but increase world size outside it?

Looks like 1.7.2 was released today.

Have you checked to see if 1.6.4 fixed it?

I think it might've been an error on my end. The number of components that could go wrong are huge. I might as well rebuild the thing from scratch. I might just recruit Sazak to help me dismantle it.
