Info:
Throwing around the idea of branching out my gameroom and making a floating "Soccer" field, (non-american football). I looked at the specs for one irl, and the average for international games is 105x68 metres. Not THAT big but thinking of it in terms of blocks that's over 105 stacks of dirt blocks, and while I'd love to make it 2x as big in-game, 210+ stacks of dirt is a little excessive to ask.
As to what it'd take to make:
As mentioned before it'd need over 105 stacks of dirt
A stack or two of White wool for field lines
And I'm going to make the actual Goal a Water pool with a pressure plate at the bottom
Goal counter (I have an idea for how to make a goal counter connected to the plate at the bottom of the water pool)
Donation Requests
-roughly 105 Dirt stacks
-roughly 2 stacks of white wool
-roughly 8 stacks of redstone
-2 buckets of water
-a stack of glass (just to make goals heh
-5 pumpkins, not jack-o-lanterns (to differentiate teams)
Disclaimer
These are just rough estimates mainly, leftover materials will be split amongst donors and given back.
What will you use as a ball?
I admit I haven't had my morning coffee yet.... but this math is not adding up for me.
105 * 68 = 7,140 blocks
or
7,140 / 64 = 111.57 stacks
and since a double chest can hold 54 stacks:
111.57 / 54 = 2.06 double chests (not that hard to do)
Maybe the 105 length also includes the goal areas? I'm not very up on soccer... er... futbol!
Also, when you say "....while I'd love to make it 2x as big in-game", are you talking about doubling the length AND width? Because that not just doubles the surface area, it quadruples it (its ok, its a very common math misconception when dealing with area):
(105 * 2) * (68 * 2) = 28,560 blocks
or
210 * 136 = 28,560 blocks
28,560 / 64 = 446.25 stacks
446.25 / 54 = 8.264 double chests (this would be tricky to achieve without the ability to /kit dirt)
I can help donate a little dirt, perhaps a full single chest (don't recall exactly how much I have atm) so thats 1/4 of what you need for a regular sized field. That is assuming the server lets me log in at some point today :/
Its feeling a little crashtastic. Maybe it needs a hug.
. Tbh any block at all would work, the idea would be you have to keep that block in your hand, visible at all times. When you get "tackled" (hit by someone's blocky fist) you discard said block.
. Simple and sensible no?
