My dear beloved Ladys, Lords, ragtag and bobtail,
after achieving a lot in our latest Community endeavour I plan to start a new one in the near future. This thread has the purpose on gathering suggestions and ideas for a new project.
My aim this time would be to get even more away from the "classic" medieval fantasy topic and move into a little more exotic waters. The Carribbean flair of Freewater was but a first step in this direction.
I hope you guys have a lot of great ideas and are as eager for this as I.
First Idea:
EPIC mushroom islandMake use of the one of the 3 or 4 mushroom islands we have in the Mercurian Empire. My idea would be to use a theme, which you can find on parts of Solstheim in Skyrim or (for the older ones here) in the original Morrowind. It would be something totally different from anything we have done before and a new challenge to increase our horizon lore and building wise.
1. Example2. ExampleIt could be the start of a new race (mushroom dwellers) or a settlement for social outcasts for example.
Another bonus, is the fact, that no hostile mobs spawn on these islands. This way we could build without permanent lighting everywhere, to give our builds more atmosphere.
2. Idea
An Elven gatheringAs most of you might know, we have a few Elven Races in Hermertia. This could be a place where they all meet up once every 100 years or even more. A place one with nature where you have a lot of tall open buildings which melt together with the surrounding environment.
One idea would be a floating island with a central tree in the middle. One problem here would be that such structures are great on paper but are kinda limited by the 16 chunk render distance. Either we find a nice area where we can put it in an area encircled by mountains, maybe with a lake in the middle. If we don't find a area like that, which we can use or transform for our needs, we might want to think about using World Paint to create such a place. It could be placed in one of the big oceans and thereby not disrupt our usual biomes. A few of us have discussed the use of World Paint on and off for quite some time now and maybe a community project would be a good way to test if this is a thing we would feel comfortable with.
For example something like this:

NOW it's up to you boys and girls. What do you think? Any other ideas or suggestions!
