For a few days, harpereaves really wanted to make something central at x0, z0. It's technically the very centre of the map, but new players spawn at the nearest island because there's nothing to land on at x0, z0 - and it's a landmark just because of those extremely memorable co-ordinates.
Yesterday harpereaves declared the x0, y0 structure open, and it's just an extendable floating grass island with a cobblestone dock around it - and the COMMUNITY ALLOTMENTS.
it's a cobblestone path pointing east, and players are encouraged to extend the path and build structures off it. Plots are ideally quite narrow, so that an explorer can easily walk to all of them. Each player grief-prevents their plot and can do whatever they like. It showcases the design skills and ingenuity of the players, and it gives people somewhere safe to meet in the centre of the map, and it's kinda like a museum of awesomeness.
In the first picture you can see that two are done and two are in progress. The actual x0, z0 island extends behind it, with a noticeboard right at the back there. The beautiful one on the left has a mailbox, and a basement level underwater for the player to sleep in! And in the second picture from a different angle you can see someone working on their epic rainbow tower of wonder.
