Started a thread since I had a seemingly good one:

MoonSurfaceTheme (and later maybe MarsSurfaceTheme)

Name's pretty self descriptive:
- we replace grass and stone with white, grey and darkgrey wool;
- add some /sp air craters, retouch them to make them seem more 'craterish';
- add a Moon Lander as a spawn;
- obsidian as sides and roof ;
- I'd ask Pandorum or someone equally potent in the art of pixels to create an Earth pixelart for one of the sides;
- [insert suggestion here]

As for the Mars theme - we could hide an underground alien base somewhere on the map and the guest that finds it (accidentally) would be awarded, for example, with his own grief-free zone (just an idea off the top of my head).

Sounds like fun, even if its used for one time.

Lets build it.

Tunnelfest!

But seriously, the more themes the better. Same goes for interactivity and easter eggs.

Let's make this the official Main theme suggestions thread, and edit the first post with a list of all the themes we have so far and a list of themes to be made.

post apocolyptic main map theme.

oh wait, that's pretty much every main map after about an hour of grief. lol.

At times, Some guests know how to behave

that was actually me that posted that. i didnt realize diva was logged into the forum.
derp.

How about a "nether" main with lava flowing around and... yeah.. I don't know how to do the netherrack... Maybe just simple red?

You see... I like fire... FIRE

Upside down main
We challenge people to build upside down
Maybe this could be a map rather than a main

These smile things are awesome
<------

We have an upside-down main, its called umain. I think.

Maybe a medieval castle theme? Where main has a cobble or stone wall around it with towers and the little guests build their own village in it.

A candyland theme would be fun, but a lot of work.

A Forest main would call for a lot of treehouses.

A sky main when you replace the bottom with white poofy clouds and there are random clouds in the upper area of the map everywhere.

A giant beach? (I know its not that original, but sometimes simplicity is the best)

Amusement park? ( not sure how this would work out....)

Space theme- Entire main surrounded by obsidian and stars where there are planets in the sky waiting for guests to build their little houses on...

these are just a few off the top of my head...

Bump.

I'm close to finishing another theme named Ashes, however it's dimensions are 512 512 128 as opposed to 512 512 64. To counter this there is but one layer of ground. To counter this there are a bunch of mountains that can hold "underground" buildings. There is obviously the issue of increased loading times, but I think using it every now and then (less often than the other themes) wouldn't be detrimental to our server experience. Anyone disagree with such a map being used?

I'm about to make a nyancat/antfarm main.... to sum it up-

/r dirt glass
/r stone glass
The bottom will then have a huge pixel art of nyancat, which will be zoned. The grass on top will remain, so as to make it all look somewhat normal.

a 512 512 nyancat? that'd be awesome

Get a guest to do it?

BAMF

So yet i thing an upside down main would be interesting?

can we have a map like the islands one--- its was called pirates or something like that

We have an upside down main already.

I didn't really like it tbh

how about a main thats spheres connected with bridges and each sphere is a different area such as one will be mountains another would be snow/clous another would be grass surrounded by glass and then the bottom of the map is a layer of lava with glass over it thats zoned ?

In my opinion kattoo's idea seemed he best.
What about a toy story main. I just got this one off the top of my head. Like a large kids room or something.

Cat(PyroPyro) suggested a very good idea, that we do a desert/Egypt main.

It'd be super easy, sand some kind of Pyramids of Giza Spawn(wow, a legit reason to be building pyramids) and maybe some tombs/a pharaoh underground :3

I thought it was both different and doable and I think we'd start to see some more unique themed builds pop up

Alternative... mostly sand + grass patched and a greek/roman spawn?
I think ancient civilizations are really interesting, and have fascinating architecture to boot.

Oh look, a PYRAMID !!

More themes = more themed (and already set) spawns = don't have to copy and set spawns = more happy Op+

Back to the moon theme.

The problem with rewarding the player who finds the alien base, is that the player who finds it will most likely be a griefer.

What would a griefer do with a grief free zone? he'd leave it and go grief someone else's house.
