Now we all know our current spawn. Its just over 3 years old, its old, its tired and frankly its a mess, so much that its very confusing for new players and old alike to find their way around.
So, spawn is getting updated. Even better, we will be choosing one build from our very own community builders!
Competition Rules:
-You may submit a build alone or with a group of users from ECC.
-You must post within this thread to indicate you will be attempting to submit a build. If you are signing up with a team you must tag your teammates names.
-You will have until End-Of-Day(11:59pm) EST April 30th, 2017 to submit your schematic.
Building Rules:
Must be done on a 100% clean flat map.
All building must be your own original work. Failure to do so will result in a ban from ECC and disqualification from the competition.
We encourage you to be creative however we are looking for a spawn that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
There are some things that your Spawn Build must include;
Must Haves:
- Dimensions: up to 143 blocks x 143 blocks or 143x144 if you can. We'd like th spawn to be as close to this size as possible.
- 4 paths leading to the 4 spawn towns on each side
- Portals
- Nether
- End
- Mining
- Market
- Hub
- Rising/Legacy Portal
- 3 Extra Portal Slots - Aesthetically pleasing
Measurements of Spawn:
- Survival Games Board
- Server Shops - Star Shop, Color Shop, Wood Shop, Block Shop, EXP Shop, Food Shop and PvP Shop. Does not need to be 7 separate shops, but we do need seven distinct sections.
- Tutorial Area - No signs please - Will be using holograms
- As few signs as possible - Will be using holograms
- Indication of '/spawn' point and warp (/warp rs - /warp ls) point with signs
- Building Materials need to be 1.11.2 or earlier
- Can go below up to Y = 1, the sky is the limit for height! Literally! Keep in mind the Y = 64 is the level the current spawn town paths sit at. This is not a requirement of where a main spawn floor has to sit.
Reward:
The entire Reward will be split amonst all members of the winning team.
- 2.5 Million ECD
- Star Tool of Choice
- Special Award Item - Lore
- Event Medal
- Recognition Plaque/Board for Winning Builder(s) within the new spawn build.
Submission:
Must make a WorldEdit Selection taken from skybox to bedrock - //expand vert
Stand on the center block at Y=64 (Centered as in the midpoint of the X and Z coords.) You MUST have it comply to this. Failure to do so will mean a DQ from the competition.
//copy
//schem save mcedit <YOURTEAMNAME>Submission
The schematic will be in your worldedit plugin folder. Copy this out and upload to a public file share. EG. Mediafire.
Failure to submit your schematic properly will mean that your submission will not be accepted for evaluation.
After you have uploaded the file, please make a post with your submission in this thread. Please make sure to tag the SA team @JamieSinn @Imaginex @ClarinetPhoenix when you submit your file.
IGN:
File Link:
When the contest ends each properly submitted submission will be evaluated by Administration and the winning build will be announced via a news post.
So.... go build!

Some questions:
1. Why can't we go below y32?
2. Do we not need to include the food or PvP shop areas?
3. Are we doing away with the Events portal or will one of the extra slots be used for this?
3b. Same but parkour portal.
3c. Same but rising/legacy portal.
I'll have more later, also I'll submit a build at some point probably. -

More questions:
1. Do portals have to be any particular size and shape?
2. Is this spawn going to be placed within the existing walls and statues? Is that the reason for the 144 x 144 dimension?
3. Is it safe to assume that the new spawn will have all the same functional properties as the old one? (i.e. no one dies from falling)
4. Water = good/bad/neutral?
5. Lava = same question.
6. What point in the "floor" needs to be zeroed at y = 64? Spawn? The exit points to the four spawntowns?
7. Will there be transport independent of "traditional" movement, flying, warp signs or portals? (i.e., /tutorial) Can such commands be incorporated into a design, transport-wise?
8. Are there any design concerns specific to holograms? A certain amount of open, unobstructed space where a given hologram would float?
9. Are there blocks/entities/etc. which should not be used because they are inherently lag-generating?
10. Are there technical questions we should be thinking of, but aren't?
11. Should the build include equivalent spaces within which the tutorial will be built, or should a full tutorial design be part of the build?
I'm sure I will think of more.... ;) -
yay we're getting a new spawn!!
wait will there be runner-up prizes for people who put in all the effort into building a good spawn but just didn't win? -

I want to participate but mods like world-edit doesn't work on my computer so RIP.
EDIT:
I may have found a slim chance that i could get this to work but probably not but here we go...
I was wondering if uploading a singleplayer world's folder would share the world the same way as world-edit. If anyone more experienced with this stuff could lend their opinions that would be appreciated.
(That is the world's folder which when moved to another saves folder should show the world in their singleplayer if I am correct and where the saves folder is.) -

All the questions asked above, plus:
- Does the schematic have to be public? I mean: would it be possible to link to a password protected archive in the submission form, and then forum private message the password to SA (+ other relevant staff)?
- Is it possible to submit more than one build? If not, will it be possible to at least update/replace one's own old build before the deadline? (I know it's technically possible as we will be providing the link and have power on them, I'm asking if it's permitted and deemed fair play)

2. Ah, see those had slipped my mind. Edited to include those.
3. Events imo doesn't need a permanent portal, the Events area is only used semi-occasionally. Namely whenever a build contest is happening. I feel if I needed to we could just activate a spare portal whenever a contest is going on. Portals are not hard. Events also has a warp.
3b. We have a /parkour but we don't really use Parkour all that much. I don't feel we need one.
3c. Edited to include that we do need a Rising/Legacy link portal, I knew I had overlooked something.
2. Yes
3. All current region settings will be the same.
4. Fine, but not in enormous amounts
5. Fine, but not in enormous amounts
6. The town paths leading into the spawn towns are at Y64, keep that in mind. When you copy your build selection for the save you should be standing at Y64 to ensure a safe copy/paste of the build. Its a consistent point we can use if/when the build is installed. This is not a floor placement requirement, except where you might connect to the existing paths for the towns.
7. We will still have '/tutorial' and of course all relevant warps
Tagging @JamieSinn for the more technical questions.

No, not possible to submit more than one. You may however update until the deadline as much as needed. -
We will not be accommodating this, and will only accept schematics.
9. Same ECC block rules. -

Would love to participate if I find a remote server to use and find enough time to do this. :) Good luck to all who participates in the end, it's been a long time coming, I'm sure whoever is chosen will do a good job. Going to be a fun task for sure.
