Seems there is some confusion about what is and what isn't allowed when you decide to build in spawn town, so here's a little summary:


You can:

• Build a house;
  
• Build a shop;
  
• Dig underneath your house (basement).

You can't:

• Use TNT, for any purpose;
  
• Build Nether Portals, use the hub in spawn town;
  
• Build mob traps;
  
• Build redstone circuits (repeaters, clocks, etc);
  
• Claim massive amounts of land as your own (space is limited as it is);
  
• Start an extensive mine (simply because spawn is a highly populated area, and digging into another person's home isn't nice);
  
• Dig exposed holes (to bedrock);
  
• Dig under the roads / other people's plots;
  
• Build a bridge over the roads;
  
• Build on someone else's property;
  
• Build a railway (we already have a cross-country skyrail).

Definition of "Free build":

Build in what ever style you want, do not:

• Build in front of an obvious roadway
  
• Take up big amounts of space

Breaking these regulations might result in:

- Your build being removed;
- You being warned;
- All of the above.


These rules may seem like a big limitation, but they're here for the sole purpose of keeping spawn as clean (and lag-free) as possible and are always subject to change.

It is your responsibility to keep up to date!

Just to be clear - the spawn town edge to edge - do you mean anywhere on the entire map, or just the actual island where the main city is?

well, look at the live map. spawn town is an island. there are different rules for the rest of the map.

Like 404 said, spawn town is the island that is connected to the boat.. Anything past that is free game, but the main rules ( http://www.crazy-fools.co.uk/page.php?15 ) apply everywhere

Did You add the mob trap one just for me?

What about my mine? Its large but I stopped mining in it a while back when I realised that I shouldn't really be mining it. Is that ok?

I'm not going to be asking you to fill it up, I've seen your entrance and it should be fine the way it is now

I highly suggest everyone reads this again, as it's obvious a lot of you aren't bothering with these simple rules for the current spawn.. Turning it into a disorganized landfill of randomness.

Ok so
Just clarifying
The materials we can use within spawn are
Wood, sand, sandstone, glowstone, and gold
Anything else

---QUESTION---
R we allowed to place signs over the road attached to fences?
Cuz if not anyone can remove mine

For how to build inside the spawn town (sandy area):

Just look around at the other builds.. They all work and all have different kind of materials (that keep in theme).

For grassy areas:

Do what you like, just try to not go overboard with what you build and - if possible - keep the area nearest to the western theme in tune with that style. Use whatever materials you like, just keep in mind that having a themed spawn requires people to put a bit of thought into what they build, ie: Try not to build the empire state building right outside of spawn town (for example).. Builds like that completely beat the point of having a theme in the first place.


Signposts to mark your house / store are not a problem.

Just west of spawn is the oasis, in your opinion is this still themed to compliment spawn flight?

It's far enough away from spawn to turn into whatever you want it to, I'm talking about non-themed builds in direct view of the current spawn.

oh no... there´s a mob trap outside my house, its in spawn town but quite far back, and i have a mine! bu it´s on grass land and is like behind theMZL house... will i have to remove it? im banned at the moment though :`(

Updated. Seems plenty of people have forgotten about it, which is a shame.
