SKS Minecraft v13 Planning

See the v12 page for chat and information on the current pack.

Goals

  • Multiple settlements with different politics and themes
    • Valle Niasmor-likes (anarcho-communist direct democracies)
      • One with a planned economy?
      • Adventuring / dungeoneering focused town
      • “Homestead” kinda thing?
    • Old west mining town
    • nomadic fleet
    • Social Democracy (Largely private ownership, some socialized industries, democratic)
    • [add your ideas here]
  • More organisations
    • Railway org
    • News agency?
    • Utility Coop and Regional Grid
    • BRICS, blocky region inter community solidarity
      • settlements with specialized focus could trade with other specialized settlements to fill gaps in resources
  • Server-wide railway
    • Could we perhaps dual-track long distance lines from the start, and optionally use more straight tracks instead of diagonals? ~ Liizzii
      • That was the plan! ~ Izzy

Magic town

Old west mining town

  • settlement in either a desert or a mesa
  • large main street with saloons, banks, stores, jails, etc.
  • lots of mineshafts where ores are sourced and exported to other towns
  • light theft is allowed, but if you get caught you're considered an outlaw who anyone is allowed to kill (while you're in town)
  • big train station with steam locomotives (and minecart tracks of course)
  • politically, i'd describe the town as a “soft anarchy” where griefing isn't allowed, but robbery is as long as you're okay with being considered an outlaw. there wouldn't really be a centralized government, maybe a few deputies which are considered enforcers of the law
  • horses are bred and used as transportation

Nomadic Town/Ship

  • Settlement aboard either a tremendous airship or a fleet of smaller ships
  • focused on specialty low volume production of high effort produce
  • mainly focus on tr ade with others with occasional resource or transport offering beyond established railway lines
  • one of the specialty products being ships(if we can find a shipwright and an appropriate mod exists, i think there was some create variant w airships but im not 100% sure how well that works yet…)
  • alternatively any mod allowing to pack up and move large structures should work, ideally combined with a mod to allow for an extradimensional interior for complex machines that shouldnt be moved…
  • politically i'd see it as a Syndicate ala Syndicalism with a sidefocus on creating an internal ecosystem within the nomadic mode of existing

Social Democracy

  • Most aspects are still privately owned, including deep progress into magic mods and similar mods with major progression.
  • Certain key aspects of industry / processing are socialized and owned by the community
    • Basic ore processing area
    • Basic Tinkers setup
    • Dedicated community core lumber area
      • Inherently takes up a lot of space
      • Is of benefit to everyone
      • Not much benefit to everyone having their own independent plot of oak or similar “core” trees
      • Still “chop your own wood”.
    • Potentially basic Magic Mods setups
    • etc.
  • No centralized communal storage system
  • Laxxer zoning/planning laws than found in planned communities (Don't require lengthy approval to get a house built in an already-zoned residential area)
  • Potentially some simple safety nets
    • Flint or similar low-grade tinkers tools
    • Bread or other simple food available to avoid starvation
    • Intended to prevent people from crashing hard, but still encourage them to seek out better for themselves
  • In general, hopes to avoid the issue of “One person makes all the progress in a mod and then slingshots everyone else to the end by proxy”
    • Progression-motivated players tend to quit if they feel they don't have much progression to make
    • Allows for proper specialization rather than everyone tending to inherently pull a “jack of all trades”
    • Inspired by what I personally felt caused the decline in my interest in SKS12
  • Admittedly, may have to watch out for things becoming overly socialized and thus straying too close to Anarcho-communes
  • Most likely built at least partially in a forest (Trees are cool, and too much of Minecraft is just paving areas flat)
  • Governed in a democracy, with an elected leader (ranked choice voting) for X weeks time (X's value to be decided by the residents with the initial constitution and any further amendments)
