Reck, what do you want in Maze 6? Are there any new blocks in 1.4 that we could add (other than a beacon which NOPE)

They crash the game, at least when I tested them (some time ago).

Three Wither Skulls would be a viable alternative.

We should probably dedicate a large area to Wither fighting, and if anyone decides to build in it then they're just stupid and deserve to get blown up. :P

But seriously, we shouldn't
dis
courage it. You need to kill them to make beacons, which are awesome. Especially for quarrying, Haste II with an Efficiency V pickaxe is ridiculously fast.

I disagree with Wither Skulls being used as prizes.

Nether Fortresses and by extension Wither Skeletons are common enough that we should be using them as the test to see whether people are skilled enough to deserve to create a Wither. Honestly, the best way to discourage it is to make it take actually work to complete. I feel like people who really want Beacons will go through the Hunt for some Wither Skeletons. IMO we don't want just anybody who can beat a Maze able to create them. Things are dangerous...

All that being said, prizes for Reck's maze should be non-1.4 until the Bukkit actually comes out, since it looks like we'll be waiting for it to update the server.

I would support waiting for bukkit (vanilla is a pain if anything needing Op powers comes up), but not waiting too long. We should probably upgrade on the first or second version, they're never
too
unstable, especially recently.

Of course I though that they brought the Bukkit people on so they'd be available at the same time but whatever.

Jeb, fix your game, etc etc etc.

I like doing potatoes or carrots, actually. They're rare zombie drops in 1.4, right?

They are. I wouldn't do item frames, they're dirt cheap for anyone who has access to cows. Nether Stars is even more OP than wither skulls (at least with the skulls you have to be good enough to kill the thing).

Carrots and potatoes, on the other hand, is a good idea given how rare they are. But we'd still have to wait for the update before adding them, obviously.

Speaking of my maze, this got me thinking of ways to make it more difficult/cooler and worthy of a good prize. And during the brainstorming process, I had an amazing epiphany.

See, I was going to build a ziggurat maze, but to make it challenging enough it would need lots of layers and getting into rediculous amounts of materials needed to build it. So I thought, why not flip it upside down and build it underground? then I wouldn't need any material, just spend lots of time digging. Then came the epiphany... I could do it in the plains underneath a testificate village. I can call the maze The Hive. I can then develop the village above the maze and turn it into a testificate Raccoon City. Complete with an (in spirit) Resident Evil Mansion (which would be the access to The Hive, of course). And whats awesome is that zombies will sometimes come and attack my racoon city. :) :) :) Resident Evil Themed Maze :)

This was exactly the inspiration I needed to actually get online and finally build this maze.

Now if only it were possible to get an OP to add some zombie spawners to the hive for me....

Great idea, but I wouldn't be comfortable putting spawners in without Claus' approval. And I'm not sold on the idea of putting them in to user-made challenges at all.
