#Closer World border setting

A lot of freebuild servers have been getting griefed by people flying out insane distances far away from where anyone else is or has built and making contraptions to cause the server to lag hidden away from other players.

While the distance you can travel from the spawn is neat and it’s cool that the engine can handle it, it is ripe for exploitation. I don’t think any server needs this much space, so an option to limit it to prevent problems seems sensible.

An option to place either a visible or invisible world border that players cannot go beyond or build beyond would fix this, a large dome or walls of collision that stretched to the skybox. I also think physics objects should collide with this for obvious reasons.

This could also be role tied, so you can make terrain that stretches far into the distance beyond the playable space for most players as an admin and not have the world suddenly cut off.

I also think there are gameplay possibilities with this too, you could set the world border to prompt a return in a certain amount of time if crossed and if not listened to the player would be killed, similar to battlefield games etc. All parameters of this should be customisable.

Would be nice to see.

as someone who has dalt with this style of greifing

#

No

#

world borders are fine

#

in fact

#

make them larger

it doesn't hurt to have better control over the world size so this would be a nice addition

# exotic crow world borders are fine

they are clearly not. i understand why people like the novelty of building big roads out to the world border but this kind of griefing is ripe for exploitation. Just because you fixed it doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be a solution in the game for other people

#

double them in size

noble crypt
#

troll elsewhere

#

a bigger world size doesn’t preclude the existence of having a smaller, customisable size, by the way

exotic crow
#

ik

noble crypt
#

then why No

#

on this suggestion

#

other than to troll

exotic crow
#

smaller size would be cool too

noble crypt
#

so go away

exotic crow
#

but if smaller size optiuon than also larger size option

#

and the current be the middl

noble crypt
#

you clearly didn’t even think about what i was talking about and just wanted to talk about a bigger one, which isn’t what im talking about

also visuals for the world border. kinda like what minecraft has with the striped border.

but yeah control over the world border size to make the world smaller would help in finding greifers.

could also give admins the power to locate and tp to contraptions and player made grids

#

could also be useful for hard limiting where players can go for pvp maps and stuff

i think the simple ability to change the size however we want would be the best imo

exotic crow
#

like endless?

tulip cradle
#

and I’d imagine the engine would start running into noticeable floating-point imprecision past a certain distance, so “endless” probably isn’t a good idea

endless worlds would be kind of cool, but you would need an entites or play build highlighter

#

and the ability to teleport to a players builds
