Dev Blog March

As you may have been aware, we have been in the incredible works of creating a new home for Minecraft Survival Players, The BeeHive Team feels that we haven't been transparent in creating a safe server as well as lacking on the content given to you on how far we have achieved.

Thus; we are creating Development Monthly Blogs, on all the things we have worked on; from the very bottom of the roots, to as high and fly we can do!

This Blog will contain some improvements and additions that has been made to the first frame you will see when joining. Our BeeHive Spawn!


BeeHive Spawn - Prototypes

When we were creating the spawn there were many factors that we have focused on; this includes a lot of prototype builds to suit the theme of BeeHive.

Here we've made multiple of variants of trees so that we can see which one fits our spawn the best, if not multiple. We take great care of the nature around the area as we want to see you guys love your surroundings.
'The Mountain' - We created a prototype of a mountain to texture the land around the area, we went through multiple phases with blocks and styles, shapes, sizes and rotations! The one version we went was with this, a selection of multiple similar blocks, that matched our pathing.
However after placing it down, we have realised that the pathing, size and colors wouldn't really match with the near-by enviroment, and thus we have blended it with our blocks and textures. This lead to great style, so we put some trees around the area and this is our satisfyed result!
Townhall Prototypes - We really wanted a place where people can chill, and look at our amazing achivements that we've went through; and so we have built a TownHall area, we had multiple issues with the build especially with how the enviroment wasn't necessarily with us yet... We tried sandstone, however we found that sadly didn't really fit with the green area and the honey blocks. A lot of changes and discussions were made after.
As you can see from the after image, multiple improvements have been created, we felt that wood planks were the best option that matches the spawn-point whilst bringing attraction to the build.

This is not the final product and is subject to change.
Spawn Point - When starting the Spawn, we first developed 'The Docking' an outstanding enviroment that has multiple great choices of colors, a mixes of blue, yellow, green and orange!
Now this is the after math of 'The Docking', The BeeHive Team has spent a lot of time around this area making sure that every block fits together. Multiple improvements and additions has been made.

Please keep in mind that we are still under development. A lot more is still coming and we're still working on other factors for the SMP, such as plugins.

Building is completely done, and so we want to hear you feedback on our Discord!
