Town Construction Rules
  • Exterior walls surrounding a town and town structures:
    • Walls may not exceed 30 blocks in height in most cases
      • Exceptions may be made for well built and integrated designs (subject to admin approval)
    • No cobble/dirt boxes
    • Walls/Structures must be well designed and thought out
    • Walls/Structures may not contain large amounts of lava and flowing water, as they cause block update lag
  • Towns may have a roof but must conform to the following rules:
    • Must not be flat (eg. no disc of glass covering the entire town)
    • Must be well designed and detailed
    • Make the roof look like it was meant to exist on that structure, not misplaced
    • Must be integrated into the township with believable building characteristics such as:
      • Columns, towers, bracing, buttresses
      • This also applies to glass domes
  • Townships must have proper supports if they are raised off the ground
    • No floating townships except in the case of:
      • Proper 'lore' and purpose eg. town of airships, 'Laputa' style
      • Must not be too high from the ground
      • Must look like it was meant to be flying (eg. adding propellers, air balloons)
      • All towns must have a method of getting from the ground to the township
    • All townships of this type are subject to approval

Can we start enforcing these? Maybe someone flying around to all the active towns and giving them a warning to fix their towns with a deadline? I think it would be for the better and it will clean up a small portion of complaints with the current township system (Maybe it's just me whining).
