Herocraft Town Template

As some of you know, I am basically just waiting for the day Kainzo announces a new map. I want to pre-design the next town (assuming towns are the same next time) and made a template to help things along. Which I thought would be nice to share in case anyone else had large designs in mind for a town. I've seen someone do something similar in the past on a different server and it worked out great for them.

Sadly, I didn't think about image scaling when I made the pics so just look at the image in a new tab or something. Or don't, it's pretty basic.

As anyone could tell, the different sizes are color coded into two alternating colors so you can both tell how big each city upgrade is and to tell where exactly each chunk starts and stops. If someone from the wiki team sees Photo #3, I ask you to consider replacing This with Photo #3 instead. I dunno about anyone else, but I have spent a good deal of time looking at that picture and trying to make out how many chunks there are and where.

The color coded blocks are raised several meters to show when the end of bedrock really is. The space between that grass platform and the 'bedrock' is the distance underground so you can actually design your entire town in advance rather than just what is poking out of the earth. The space above is, you guessed it, the distance from sea level to the top the sky. The bedrock cube around the entire thing makes world editing easier.

That's about it. Hope it helps someone out :)

I think this should be moved to suggestions as it doesn't really apply to the Creative server.

I wasn't really sure where to post it. Picked here since it is meant to be used in creative mode, but you are right. Does not have anything to do with the creative server itself.

We have no plans for a new main map - additional maps will come out in the next few months - like forgelight/greyson.

Happy crafting!

Nightroado I think you may have to wait a long time for a new map. Herocraft is trying to make this map last as long as it can.

Anyways, Thanks for making this!

Thanks, but I know the next map is far off. It's just that there are issues with the current setup that have driven me away from the server. I am hopeful that one day they will be fixed and I'll be able to play once more.
