Haha, my tree is the one of the very few things that stands out in that map. (the red dot in the center of the map)

I think my house is the smaller yellow dot right next to yours.

3 pine trees on top of each other, with a mushroom on top. :D

Idea! :D

What if we all had just plain normal looking 1 story houses on the topside... but then when you enter there is a staircase that leads to your home-made basement. Then, after going down a small tunnel, you find yourself in a giant room with the whole smogcraft community talking with each other, looking for hidden caves down tunnels they're making, and stairways leading to chasyms, farms, and other cool areas? Now THAT would be a work of art!

Basically an underground area.

are you using a standalone mapmaker, or is it a tool built in to the server/a plugin? was looking for one recently and couldn't find any functional, current ones

I've been using Cartograph G and they always seem to update it quickly enough for every release and overall it's pretty solid. I've never used any other one, though, so who knows if there are better out there.

An underground community? Hell yeah. The only thing I'd see wrong with this is that we wouldn't be able to screenshot the map without getting a cross-section of it first.

They already had something similar to this in the original Smogcraft map: it was called Hamsterdam. It was a ghost town when I visited it, though that may have been because it was partially sitting on slime chunks.
 
The slime chunks move around a bit, Neptune/Cass manages to trap them all in this box once. Perhaps not near bedrock would be what is needed.

So, question in general...how does everyone get around? I mean, the world it seems to generate in single player is just so utterly massive, do you just pack up a basic "survival" kits of sorts and just go as far as a day will take you? Or do you take it more slowly at a time after scouting out the local attractions, like abandoned villages, caverns nearby, etc?

People explore the hell out of the servers, but to all major attractions, we make minecart lines to all of them.

We plan on keeping the map less spread out this time.
 
According to the wiki, untamed wolves can be bred in 1.9 as well as farm animals (this is probably a glitch). If this isn't fixed by the release, it means people can walk around with thirty wolves following them. While they sound fun, wolf armies can possibly create a lot of server stress if too many people have them. Thoughts on how to approach this?

EDIT: The wiki mentions wolf breeding on the Breeding page, not the Wolf one.

What stopped people from having 40 some dogs in Minecraft before?

(I'm looking at you, Rocket Grunt.)
 
Also if there is a way of collecting ice then minecarts are now obsolete. As you can travel about 2 times faster on foot. just sprint and jump with a line of glass blocks a few blocks above you. (three I think)

Problem with this is there is no way to collect ice currently, and iirc it can't spread outside of snowy biomes. So maybe a good transport system if we make a city in a snowy biome, but it won't work outside of that.
 
Will the server have NPC villages? If so does that mean we will see NPC people? I want to know if you can communicate with them, and if you attack them will they attack you? Just wondering. We should also have a giant sign saying smogcraft made out of glowstone! It could overlook the city and float in the sky!
 
Just looked at the list of potions. I don't know if they are all official or what but as long as they aren't all "restores HP" then I really like this, even though it'll probably be in 1.10
 
Nope, you're right. The server got eliminated. or held off until 1.9 comes out. I wish it would come sooner though..... When is it coming again, in two months?
 
damn... my derp in advance was correct...

so there's no Smogcraft? damn - guess I gotta find a new server in the meantime... :p
