[INVALID] Suggestion Coloured Spawn Roads
Posted: Thu Jul 18, 2013 4:53 pm
When I first Joined in August 2011, it was very easy to start as a New Player; Follow a Road to get out of Spawn.
I chose the North Road (which is now the West), and when I got to the End of it, I made Home.
Because MineRealm was youngish with that Map, it was only 1000 blocks away.
Unfortunately, now if I try and follow a Spawn Road, (near as possible down the 0 of one coordinate), I find it very confusing.
This is Due to Either;
• Lack of Road
• Too many Different Choices (which could end up leading in the wrong direction)
• Or the Road Leads to somewhere which is a Dead End (a private realm which doesn't allow any further in that direction).
The only Road which I find still keeps the Ease of Travel is the South Road, but that Isn't Good Enough.
So I Prepose a Solution;
Colours!
(Inspired Through the Game Simon)
Each Road would have its own Colour, For Example;
• North - Green
• East - Yellow
• South - Blue
• West - Red
(or any other combination)
The Roads which are Spawn Roads would contain its assigned Colour though Wool Blocks, whether that be on the Edges of the Road or in the Middle, as long as it is at constant visibility at 'Tiny' Render Distance.
Yes, this would mean a small amount of work for Spawn Road Owners to add this 'Feature', but it would be incredibly useful for Everyone!
So please Support this and also give your Opinions!
(One thought is colour blindness, although various types, which colours would be best to distinguishability? What are your thoughts?)
