New Separate Peaceful Map
Why?
There's been a lot of discussion over the past few days over ideas for MC1's peaceful map. I've avoided implementing some ideas such as purchasable hostile mob drops given how it'd affect the peaceful economy. (The map is 2 years old and the brief 2 month period where monsters have spawned led to an interesting situation where rotten flesh, bones, and gunpowder are all technically obtainable but finite and worth about the same as diamonds.)
However, I've realized that based off the way the config files are organized, we could really easily add a new peaceful map to MC1 and have it copy all the settings (such as no fall damage) from the current map. Given the ease of implementing, it's completely possible to make a new peaceful map and then implement ideas such as currency, item shops, etc. As an added bonus, we could generate this peaceful map when 1.11 comes out so users don't have to walk a considerable distance to leave the 1.5 chunks near Oldspawn or the 1.7 chunks near the current spawn. Really, any idea is possible for this new map so comment with suggestions.
Won't this (3 new worlds) slow the server down?
No. Few resources are used if a chunk isn't loaded. Adding 3 worlds and having people spread out across a few more worlds would be about the same as having people spread out across the existing peaceful map. Adding a new peaceful map will literally only offer more options for people to play.
When?
Right now, we're going to wait for an update to 1.11. I'm keen on updating the (12) server(s) rather quickly (within 3 - 7 days) and then advertising at the same time to fill a niche for users who would prefer 1.11 servers over 1.10. Once we update to 1.11, we can generate the map.
Need help?
We could use help for the new spawn. If you're interested in helping make the spawn, comment below. I'm giving full creative license to make any type of spawn, just note that there's only one spawn that needs to be made and there may be others interested in helping as well. You may want to use this forum post to find those who are interested and come to an agreement on the new spawn design.

but there are ideas floating around the discord.
I would be honored to help with the new spawn; I'd love to put in some redstone doors or something.
Also how would the currency be set up? Would there be a way to gain money or would you start with some set balance?
