That’s how I feel about it iMaelstrom, we currently destroy beaches and deserts for sand, why should a mesa biome be any different? I doubt people on this server will rush out and get 40 double chests of clay because “omgitsclayandnowitseasytoget”. People tend to harvest what they use and leave the rest.

Because Mesa biomes are rare. Imagine building your nice new build with a beautiful surrounding mesa, only to log on one day and a chunk of it is missing. Beaches and Deserts are totally different. They are the same on every layer all the way down to sandstone. Mesas have the layers of coloured clay.

Personally, I wouldn’t care. I really don’t see an issue with it. If you want to get your panties in a wad because part of your large biome was destroyed, by all means be upset. I just don’t see any point in getting upset about it. Consider this, you’re not dealing with a standard community of people here. Everyone is vocal in chat and as a general rule, people discuss what they’re working on. If someone is destroying a mesa, odds are, they’ll announce it. If you ask nicely, I’m sure they’d be more than happy to destroy it 100 blocks away from your house. The people here are not pricks, these kinds of threads hold no water when you’re in a community that prides itself on being nice to one another. As a side note, I distinctly recall Gqadams and a bunch of other people attempting to destroy a biome. They didn’t even get close to removing it from the map. Hell, you can’t even see the destruction from dynmap. They spent probably 100 hours collectively on it, to no avail.

Its true that Mesa biomes are rare. But our map is going to be massive when we go to 1.7 and there will be at least 10 good sized Mesa biomes in the world.

I decided that I will admin claim an entire mesa biome, give public trust, and add a dynmap marker that says something like “Get your clay here folks! AKA Resource Mesa”. Also I’ll hook up a portal to it so its easy to get to.

However, I do not want to put rules around harvesting clay from other mesa biomes. I don’t like to add layers of rules to the game. Once worldedit gets up to speed with the 1.7 update I’d be able to regenerate areas in case there is a conflict of this type. But, at least seasoned players will know where to go and perhaps direct others where they can go too for their clay.
