Due to the massive amount of in-game chat dedicated to telling new players to find public land (and how to find public land), I hereby suggest a /public command, which would, if you're not in a public realm, search for the nearest public realm and teleport you there.

As I see it, the major advantage of this would be a quick and easy start for new players.

The disadvantages I can see are that...

1. Not that it's my kind of thing, but the "rite of passage" a new player has of finding public would be eliminated. Less lols for the older players?

2. This type of teleporting command would be a bit more complex to program than the ones implemented so far, as it would have to dynamically find the destination. The x and z would be found by searching for the nearest public realm and using it's /realm coords, and the y afterwards by starting at max height and searching downwards for the first solid block, then adding 2 or so. It would likely need to account for lava, as well, since I can easily imagine griefers / trollers finding out where the noobs will tp to and placing lava there.

There are no teleports on this server except for /home, /trade, and /spawn. If a newbie can't simply walk, then they don't belong on this server.

I think I already mentioned this. XD

Also, I could easily (but currently do not plan to) apply your argument to the existing tp commands. I am very grateful for those commands, after all.

People have asked for extra teleport commands many times before. They have never been implemented and neither will this one.

Intelli will not make special teleports for those who are too lazy to go find public land. You just keep walking - it's not difficult. Plus a free land locator is too chocolatey. Bad suggestion.

i would actually say that it isnt too chocolately, but then land sharks looking for realms in spawn area would have a field day with the command. Make them work for it :/

There already is a tool to help you find free land--http://minerealm.com/map/realms.php

lol. They spawn and just stand there wondering where their magical chair is that will carry them to where they want to go. lazy newbies.

This is a good point...I didn't think of that. Feel free to let this topic die out.

Nifty! I have to admit that I didn't know about this! Thanks, Prodigy. From now on, I'll reference this to players in public chat who seem to need it.

Glad you're finding it helpful! It's not surprising that you hadn't heard about it before, as it really hasn't been publicized much--Intelli just posted it in a thread someone else made, after someone else's manually made map of a section of the map inspired him to do some coding.
You can also add a player's name to the end of the URL (e.g. http://minerealm.com/map/realms.php?user=Intelli ) and the map will show realms owned by the specified player in green boxes instead of blue.
