The Survival world served us well for over two years, but with the server's new version it's time for a fresh start. The Four Winds map is a 16,000 × 16,000 block world that keeps the spawn point at the center and places a different climate in every direction.
Regions and travel
The north has snowy hills and ice lakes, the south has arid canyons, the east has dense forests, and the west has a coastline and islands. The team has built stone roads from spawn to every region, along with rest stops along the way. Each rest stop has a bed, a shared chest, and a map board.
You haven't lost your builds from the old world: the archive world will stay open for visits only for one month. During that time, you can apply through the schematic download form to have up to three of your builds moved to the new map.
Land protection
On the new map, every player gets a free 128 × 128 block claim on their first join. The claim grows as you play; you earn extra blocks every hour. The requirement of a group of at least three players to found a town remains. Areas near the map border will stay closed for the first two weeks so everyone starts under similar conditions.
