Also, can you tell me the price of diamonds and iron from the server shop so I can know about how much everything is going to cost and begin deciding on my prices for other goods? How many items are being sold in the server shop?
What's the render distance? I know it's the same as it was on the old world but I don't know what the render distance on the old world was.
On the old world I had a building with a bunch of farms near it. There was this gold farm that was in an adjacent chunk but really high up in the air. Someone told me it wouldn't be very efficient. What was wrong with it? I know that hostile mobs don't spawn further than 32 blocks from a player but zombie pigmen are neutral mobs. What was wrong?
The golden shovel only allows claims at least as large as 100 blocks - so a 10x10 area or similar area, with one side at least 5 blocks wide. So no worries about that.
The prospective value of everything is going to be wildly different, but here's an idea. Voting gets $60 per day. Iron ORE, not ingots, is going to sell for $100. The intended value of a diamond is going to be $100 - essentially one stack of iron ore is equal to one diamond. You will also be able to sell gravel, -ite stones, redstone blocks, obsidian, gold ore, and oak, birch, spruce, and jungle wood along with their leaves, for varying amounts of money, each under the idea that a stack of those items is worth 0.1 - 3 diamonds. However, diamonds themselves will not be stocked in the store, and the starter money is gone, allowing players to regulate most of the economy based on the income people are making. However, we expect diamonds to fall in value later on, due to the wild difference between early and late game mining efficiency.
Render distance should still be 6 chunks at the time of this writing. Which perplexingly means a distance of 6 chunks is visible but only 5 of them are actually active.
On the zombie pigmen, although they spawn neutral, they are still "enemy" mobs and obey the same rules as a hostile mob. It's not that they won't spawn farther than 32 blocks, but that they won't move - meaning if you're not close enough all those spawns of yours are doing nothing but keeping the server at spawn cap, because they're not going anywhere.
