•Since I came to realize that few people want to read the big chunks of texts I type, I'm going to make a simplified version of this, since this proof of concept of making a map is that important. Here's a link to the more detailed version if you don't get the idea of this and you have a question: http://poc.solverlabs.com/content/making-map-poc-survival-multiplayer-se....

•There's 20 biomes that appear in PoC, each biome type have different terrain, but however each biome's duplicates have the same terrian as each other, and the type of biome depends on the type a spawnzone town present.

•This means if you study which spawnzone goes each biome(the easiest way to tell what to find in each biome is to create a Private Map Server where you study each biomes terrain individually) then you can find out which biome your in.

•once you master how to indentify the spawnzone of each biome, then you can start to graph the spawnzones by starting at spawnzone town 0:0, marking down it's biome in a graph chart, and looking at, or traveling to every other spawnzone town in radius (by going through the portals), then once you graph a decent radius, you got a biome/spawnzone chart/map of the PoC Survival Multiplayer Server.

•It's extremely simple, and not as good as seeing the terrain's features on the map, but at least you know where the biomes and spawnzone towns are by using this map idea. I hope you guys enjoy my proof of concept! :D

Image #1 Spawnzones 1-7.

Image #2 Spawnzones 8-14(there's a 3 screenshot cap when you first make your thread, so I can't show 15-20 right now).

Image#3 the shape of the graph needed to create a map of the spawnzones(though in this case of the screenshot, it's just half of it, since it's excluding the left X-Axis).
