[MC] Proposal to Change and Fix Spawn

TheGurw said:
No. "Spawn" in multiplayer is a single coordinate, but new players (and unless modified by a plugin, all respawns) can happen in any 10x10 area around that block, centered on the NW corner of the block (in Single Player, the area is 20x20). The spawn will always occur on the highest block of the particular column that the spawn algorithm decided to put them in. If I made one block in that 10x10 at y=255, then 1 out of every 100 new players would be unlucky enough to spawn on that block. Height or transparency has absolutely nothing to do with it.

This logic seems silly for a multiplayer world. I do know, however, that many servers I've been on has had a spawn with a roof and nothing weird ever happened to me. Perhaps it's time to invest in a plugin purely for new player spawns that won't need a command block to make it work?

Hence my earlier comment about Superspawn, which does exactly that.
 
Do I need to give you a world download/file that matches the exact dimensions of spawn, or can I give you a world file that slightly includes some of the surround terrain?

A nooblet just logged into the server, explicitly stated how much spawn sucked, and logged out.

We need mtnboy's spawn.

My honest opinion is: Do we even care if we keep the people who can't help but be insultive the minute they log in?

No. At least, not those people. But, a nicer spawn may convince those people are you honestly looking for a neat place to play. And first impressions play a hugely important role in whether or not people decide to try something new.

I'm liking the design. Hopefully it could make an appearance on the server. I definitely think it could give that extra boost in players.

Thanks constructor. Also, I wanted to point out that I made an conscious effort to improve the vegetation surrounding spawn. I also included lots of little ruins and cool hidden artifacts to find.
