(A new project of mine) It is exactly what it sounds like. A giant Obsidian Box. I will be filling an entire residence with Obsidian for an event. I may have lied on the last answer. It is not just a a plain Obsidian cube. It is an Obsidian Cube with treasures inside. The treasures vary from Diamond Blocks, Gold Blocks, Vault Vouchers, Promotional Items, or empty chests there to fool you. In order to get the treasures, you must mine through a crap-ton of Obsidian. You will have the appropriate flags to place beacons. I will not be supplying the beacons though, for there will always be that one griefer. You will be allowed to place the beacons, just know you are liable for any griefings that might occur. It will be a giant Obsidian Box filled with multiple treasures to mine for with your pickaxe, shovel, axe, hoe, sword, or fist. (Your choice) You may take the treasures upon finding them and they are all yours WHEN: Whenever I finish it WHERE: SMP7 /v +Event
Hm, not sure I think people may cheat by using something to have them moving forward + mining while away from keyboard
There's always someone. 1. Is there a way to get player damage and death turned on, healing off, on a residence? Maybe admin would be willing to change them temporarily for an event? Then you could place strategic pools of lava or cavities for people to fall into who wanted to cheat. 2. Or limit how long people can dig for. Boot everyone off the residence every so many minutes so that they have to come back in. You could also combine this with starting the obsidian block at or above ground level with a teleport plate that takes you to the top. You could also close the res when you are logged off. 3. Instead of town, build it in the Frontier, in a location kept secret until the Grand Unveiling.
The best way to deter cheating would be to have a staff member volunteer to monitor it. May not stop all cheating, but at least you'll have someone there to protect your assets if they need to. In other news, this is a great idea!
I don't mind mine through a crap-ton of obsidian that i can use or sell later prizes are extra. For ppl who dig obsidian over lava lake, this will be cake walk .
