Hey, I'll type this out quickly, as I'm in college right now, and will elaborate later if needed. I propose the addition of a subforum in the minecraft forum named "Schematics". If this is added, there will be a place for me and other minecraft users to quickly post download links to their schematic files of buildings they've constructed on minecraft.
---ONLY READ BELOW IF YOU'RE CURIOUS ABOUT SCHEMATICS---
A schematic from minecraft is a chunk of your world, selected using SP Commands and worldedit for single player, or Essentials (or a like-plugin) and worldedit for multiplayer if you have access. When you have the chunk completely selected with your wand, you would type //save [filename], and if you've set up your server right, it would save into a file that you should have created named "schematics" (same goes for single player, just add in a new folder named "schematics" into the %appdata% .minecraft folder [for window users])
This will automatically create a file type, unique to minecraft. Anyone who has access to this file now can copy it into their schematics folder, use the command //load [filename] and it will load up the schematic. Then it's as simple as using the command //paste, and it will stick it into your world within seconds, whole and perfectly intact.
---
Schematics are essential for people who want really cool-- and extremely large-- buildings without having to google search block maps, or just making it on their own by looking at a screenshot of the building they want to replicate. It's also nice for people who want to coolaberate on a building, and then paste it into their single player world for their own enjoyment as well.
It'd be a great addition I think. If we had this, I know I'd be dumping ALL of my creations into it for everyone to use if they'd like. I don't think the addition of this subforum is a waste of time or space. What do you think?
