The small to large is probably the best option to go with since we want to keep the server healthy. One of our biggest problems in the original server was just how large it could be, and that people had to travel endlessly to get things like lapis.
The spawn area should attempt to not be too chaotic. If anyone remembers that frigging dicks tower in lsb we can all agree it was just not very nice to look at. A limit to massive buildings would be nice. Even the LSB building I think was too much.
I will totally help build up the farm stuff (tree, flower, shroom, wheat), and although we may still have private chests I do think a bank has its uses. It's nice to just have soem items around at the spawn and I'd love to not have it be the cluster that I made the lsb one into. If I can have the space directly under the spawn area garden for that it would be fantastic.

The problem with a big border is that you have to go that much farther to find mushroom biomes in 1.9. I think a smaller border should suffice.
Also Layell, the LSB tower was probably a bit too high, i agree. But it kinda needed to be high because of all the mobs that could (And were.) be grinded.
To remedy the tallness of a new mob grinder, i would suggest putting it underground, or at least partially underground.

That looks pretty awesome! Yet another thing to add to my future farmplex.
Also damn stone brick looks soo gooooooood.
One question though, does one seed only give out one melon and then die? If so then is there any way to make it self sustainable? Wondering the same for pumpkins too

a melon stem remains indefinitely.
the melons make the plot underneath them revert to normal dirt, so they most be tilled again manually. an individual melon yields 3-7 slices, which can be saved or converted directly to seeds (1 slice --> 1 seeds). a stem takes 10-30 minutes to grow apparently, dunno how long it takes a melon to spawn - but they often don't take long at all.
not possible to make them self-sustainable, unfortunately. something to bear in mind is a melon slice only heals 1 unit of hunger, but requires much less time investment than wheat - 1 melon produces a minimum of 3 slices (3 units of hunger), but it takes 3 wheat to produce one bread (2.5 units)
pumpkins cannot be grown at this point in the game, pumpkin seeds do exist but do not actually spawn in chests, I guess? only obtainable by inventory hacking at this stage.
They are apparently a similar (but not identical) process, though.

Can't wait for the 1.8 multiplayer server! woot! I personally think we should have a spawn that looks like this. We have the sea on one side, and then the entire map is surrounded by mountains. So we're in a valley basically with the sea coming out of one end. Of course, we can have forests littering the mountains and still have enough room for things like deserts and villages outside of the main buildings.
EDIT: Oh ya. Will you give jobs out to people for making these community buildings? If so, I would love to help out in any way I can for making the 1.8 experience awesome! Want to contribute as much as I can to the server, as minecraft is probably one of the best games I've played by far.

Say hello to a new mob
"It will be craftable, is friendly, and throws snowballs at enemies. Also melts in hot biomes."
"Also they spread snow by walking around. Nice."

That's good... I guess. At least we have infinite snow again.

the face totally fits its personality, according to notch it's delightfully suicidal and will attack creepers/spiders etc
ps can we wait till 1.9 or whenever shroom biomes/animal farms/endermen nerfs come out to make this grand large server
pps totally making a town out of leaves, watermelons, pumpkins, and giant shrooms
ppps notch is coming out with an update tomorrow "hopefully", probably 1.8.2

That is cute. And surprisingly useful. (more than wolves at least) Maybe we'll have to use Ender Pearls to craft these, seeing that they're useless for now.
ALSO Endermen are hilariously weak. When you see them just charge their asses and whoop 'em good with a diamond sword. They're only dangerous if you're careless and accidentally stumble across a bunch of them.

maybe these snowmen golems put ice in their snowballs? if they don't do damage, they're pretty useless other than for gathering snow.
