The situation:
What I got to thinking a few hours ago was build a house on a peice of land lil ways from my 4 realms. Got to thinking how it would look, went to minerealm survival map to look at the surrounding area, then relised a noticeable probelm I made in the past. Building unknowingly over unto an adjacent realm. What I mean figuratively and literially speaking, is I built my building then bought the realm only to relise half or it or only the majority is on the relam I bought while the rest is on public land. This has happened to me twice, and I suspect I am not the only one that this has happened to.


The solution:

The idea is where you zoom into the survival map (preferably at 85% or more zoomed in), you can then move your mouse over the selected area shows you the outline of the realm either by showing just the realm itself or showing it plus the adjacent 8 realms. Then using either landmarks or screenshotting the area on your computer to use as reference. Realms that are owned by someone will show up in red, while public land will show up in yellow. Preventing confusion with the land below.

Something like this used to exist in MineRealm 2.0 where all the realms where outlined on the map. However, the realms then were dynamic and calculating their positions would use up a lot of processor/memory blah. it was discontinued because it took far too many resources.

I don't think it would be as difficult to overlay a simple 50x50 grid, but pulling realm names and applying them would require heavy modifications to the mapping engine. Idk, how it would work.

there's a simple solution to this, when you find your area, go scouting and place blocks in the four corners of the realm you want. that way you won't build where you don't want to

Buy the realm first.

If it require too many resources to load, make it optional in the side bar ( Like the north/south/east/mordor option )

Also would be nice if it could tell the realm owner too.

Good idea, but again it requires a bit coding.

Measure twice, /realm buy once.

But seriously, why wouldn't you just go and scout it out first?

Grid overall might be quite helpful for the server map, aswell as the option to go 2D, showing the surface only.
I do like the the 3D isometric view as well, I say why not add new features to make the forum and the server map more interesting and useful to the players.

Yea I bought my first realm like that since it was away from others at the time and was too hard to judge.

Hit F3 and look at the x and z coords and you can pretty well tell then if you are in the 50x50 realm or not as every 50.0 is another realm or potentional realm if public. You might be off by a few tiles but thats why you build more into the area.

This is a great idea

Anyone remember /border? It was just the greatest addition to minerealm ever.
