My "Mages Guild" has a single tree in the it. I would love for this to be a centerpiece rather than something that is odd and out of place.

It would also make for an interesting way to lay siege to someones castle. Plant a tree and then grow it rapidly with spells before climbing it and leaping over the castles walls. It would also be neat if trees could be ignited with spells or branches blown off.

All this makes me want to go out and play Real Life for a while. Lol.]]>

for example:
You have a city but the texture is grass. What do you do? Well, every time someone runs across a certain area it adds a slight shade to the dirt texture. This eventually will overpass the grass and make a dirt path. Over time, if the path is not used it will slowly fade back to grass. Should grass not be stepped on for a long enough period it will become overgrown and weeds will pop up (killing crops and increasing the chance of a monster spawn). Should a dirt path be trod on to long it will eventually become gravel which will eventually become paving stones etc. This way, the terrain would change dynamically without the players having to do anything! This should apply to textures placed by the bucket as well so you don't run across a popular city with overgrown grass streets or something like that.

Not sure how easy this would be to implement or the load it would place on the server but it would be really cool!]]>

New items will be marked with a NEW tag in brackets behind their name. A new item was added in the last edit of this post.

• Circle of Protection [NEW] - This circle, drawn with chalk, can be used to contain a single spell. A spell that would create an AOE effect will not extend beyond the Circle of Protection. Creatures summoned in the Circle of Protection may not exit it. Great for training or creating a moving decoration.
• Floaters [NEW] - Floaters are blocks that may be placed in the air. They move slightly up and down but otherwise stay stationary. Floaters may be pushed if a player walks into them or hits them with a spell that creates a force. Floaters have high friction.
• Crafting Tables [NEW] - Used to make potions, armor, weapons, books, and more.
• Flowers,Mushrooms [NEW] - Someone, somewhere, is going to want to plant a garden. Wildflowers which can be harvested and transplanted somewhere else would be cool. Wild mushrooms which can also be planted to make mushroom farms, crushed into potions, or eaten to grant special powers.
• Chandelier [NEW] - This fixture hangs down with four sides that can have torches, decorative shields etc hung on them.
• Rope [NEW] - Use this to hang Chandeliers, climb out of tunnels, or scale walls. Can be attached to a grappling hook to allow throwing and provide a wall climbing utility.

• Mana Spring - When standing in a Mana Spring the user regenerates mana at an increased rate.
• Fountain of Health - When standing in a Fountain of Health the user regenerates health at an increased rate.
• Gate - These massive doors must be opened with an electric trigger or lever. Great at keeping your castle safe.
• Orb of Light - This magical orb may be summoned in the air. It provides constant, unwavering light that is stronger than a torches. Additionally Orb's of Light are not put out by water. Orb's may be attacked and destroyed however.
• Ladder
• Window/Glass Block
• Double Door's
• Conveyor Belt - Faces the direction the player was facing (NSEW not Up/Down). Will move blocks/people/npc's 1 square above it in the direction it faces.
• Piston - Faces the direction the player was facing (NSEWUD). When activated will move the block 1 square infront of it (based on direction) 1 square in that direction.
• Lava
• Water
• Slime - Swimming in slime is harder than water and it eats through armor.
• Electrical Wiring - Minecraft Redstone or something original. I don't care but this is needed to activate traps etc.

• Pressure Pad - Used to activate a trap when someone steps on the plate.
• Lever - Used to activate a trap by pulling the lever (levers are toggled on/off).

• Bulletin Board - Bigger version of the sign. Allows players to create quests such as: collect 200 granite or kill 20 goblins or kill Mardok. They can assign their own rewards etc. Other players may than go and accept the quest. The sign would show how many players had already accepted the quest and how many rewards their could be. For example their may only be 5 rewards available for collecting the granite. The 6th person would be out of luck and would simply have 200 granite. Think of it as trading but not instantly.

• Bed - Sleep...
• Chair - Why are you standing all the time, sit down, have a drink.
• Stove - cook your food in style.

• Anvil - Make yourself something nice out of all that hard work.
• Trees - Players can plant saplings, they grow over time into full trees which drop more saplings. Perhaps introduce an NPC such as a wood nymph or something that plants saplings in uninhabited areas so trees never just disappear.
• Cannon - Made from steel the cannon can break your friends toys!
• Motion Sensor - When a player comes anywhere near a motion sensor it activates until the player leaves proximity.
• Explosives - Mine more efficiently or lay siege to your enemies.
• Map - Placed on top of another block. The map displays the surrounding area.
• Compass - Placed on top of another block. The compass displays the direction toward North.

• Treasure Block - Looks like a normal block but can be opened to store items. Used for storing secret treasure.

• Floodgate - Can be used like a damn.
• Flag - Mark your territory with pride, waves your flags high.
• Corn, Wheat etc - Because someone is going to want to make a farm. The refined materials can make bread, cake, corn, popcorn etc which will heal health, magic points or something.
• Fence - Block of your territory without scaring away the neighbors.

Like crafting and farming and such. It would also be awesome if you could level and get better, like reach level 20 to make wooden gate. And if you could stat and get stronger. And maybe so you could hire guards to protect your buildings.

It would also be better if you could make other blocks, Like other textures (i bet your already working on something like this)
Some kind of chat system (Someone may have written this).
And some kind of dueling system, or war system. Like "Dynad sent a request for WAR, Are your a coward or do you want to fight until you die?"
Just something so you could feel like i want to get better, And fight with others to collect their gold/grass/mud.
And different servers like 1 for just free building and 1 for more pvp action and such.
And maybe something that prevents people from destroying what you've built with just their left click. Annoying when people destroys your buildings while gone.

It has cool ideas which could very well be used in 3D, such as:

- 2 teams fighting eachtother (16 vs 16), each with their own main building. In this building you can change class (The quick class changing wouldn't really fit Ineisis. BUT it is quite refreshing when you're sick of playing with a certain class all the time, you can quickly swap).
- Classes:
Builder: Can collect resources by destroying blocks, build walls, gates (which open upwards), ladders, catapults.
Knight: Can block with shield, slash with sword, throw an explosive.
Archer: Can fire arrows, collect them by activating tree-blocks.
- The point of the game is to get to a certain amount of gold before the other team does.
- You can get gold by mining it or stealing it from the other team.
- When the game starts, the gold bags are spawned behind the main building in a little vault in the rocks.
- Your inventory is displayed top-left. When you destroy a stone block, you get 1 stone; when you destroy 1 tree-block, you get 1 wood; when you destroy 1 gold-block, you get 1 gold.
- Simple hitpoints system: Knights have 2 hearts, archers and peasants 1. 1 arrow and you lose 1 heart.
- Catapult fires a couple of rocks, which need to be placed at the catapult by builders. Each tock subtracts 1 heart and damages/destroys walls/gates/ladders.

Could be a cool idea for a game, Esenthel, unless you have other plans already. ^^]]> http://www.devmaster.net/forums/showthread.php?t=17460

- all buildings in this space can be modified only by builder

It prevents destruction own buildings by other players.]]>
