We need to pick out a spot for Ponyville, then pick out the surrounding regions. I generated a lot of terrain to give us a decent amount of land to work with. If it came out where there's nothing usable, I am willing to make a new seed and try again. It is 5000x5000.

And linking it here again, to get ideas, this is a good map, at the very least make sure we have all of these regions picked out:
http://yoorporick.de... ... -198573958
The only thing that is fully decided is Ponyville is the middle and main town, the surrounding stuff can be changed to fit the land. That fan map is mostly just speculation anyway.
And lastly, I have the server up for testing, I won't keep any changes made to that map, its just so we can run around and look.
p.rat.org (for less typing). or mylittleminecraft.com should work too.
If neither is working, the IP is 38.108.185.195
I gave everyone admin, so
/god
/item feather
Then right click with the feather and fly around.
You'll spawn at 1000,1000. Keep southeast of 0,0. In other words, only positive coordinates. This is to work around the ore spawning bug where less ore spawns North and East of the default spawn.
I will want to draw a big box around the "world" to keep the server resources in check, so we have to figure out where to draw that.
Survey help needed

Ok so I got to looking at the map and found a few areas that might be suitable for Ponyville. I tried to stay away from snow regions, and the desert I chose might look better if it was dirt instead. :V
I can't come on till later tonight, doing yard work atm. :/ So yeah, here's my map with various points for possible Ponyville.
Spoilered for size.

Its a tough job, but you also have to take into account where the other towns can go. Maybe we need to write out each town, and figure out what its requirements are (does it need to be next to water, what kind of biome, etc..), then plot it all out.
And note we can plant lots of trees to make a big forest, we just need land.

I think we may have to fill some lakes/oceans/seas in to get the amount of space needed for equestria, minecraft seems to likes making you feel like you're in a world full of islands. Anyway I tried my hoof at surveying the land and I think I may have found a decent spot for ponyville and canterlot.
The area is kind of flat (it has some hilly parts, but it's about as good as you're going to get with minecraft) with a nice view of a tall mountain to the Northeast which would be where Canterlot could go, only problem is it has is the ocean is very close to the east, there's also a snow biome to the west but it seems far enough off not to create problems with building Everfree. The coordinates for the area are about: 2554 X and 2276 Y.

Note to others wanting to see, since you all have full access to everything right now, you can do this to teleport right to it:
/tp 2554,100,2276
(X,Y,Z obviously. Just put a high number for Y so you end up in the sky, as long as you did /god, you wont have to worry about fall damage)
I can't wait to check that out, and yeah we can try replacing the water in the lake with grass, or just drain it and flatten it manually.

Went surverying again and found a lava lake in the middle of a forest biome south of where that area I was talking about is, it started a huge forest fire, I know changes occuring right now won't be saved but in case anyone's wondering what's south of the area, it used to be a large forest not sure how much of it will be left by the time the fire goes out.

Oh man. Well for right now I just turned off fire spread so at least it wont happen more.
At least adding forests is something we can easily do and have it look nice.

I temporarily added some warp commands.
/listwarps, /setwarp, /removewarp, and of course /warp are its commands.

I set down a few basic warps to get us started.
Ponyville's hypothetical area, /tp 2554,100,2276, would be ponyville1
Phillydelphia's first location is philly1
Phillydelphia's second location is philly2
