    Here's my idea for a survival map:
    The map is a cave system;
    Each player is spawned no more than 4000 blocks from the centre of the map;
    No player is spawned near another player;
    Each player is given a sapling, some torches, some dirt, and a bucket;

    But seriously, I don't think a map like this would be a good idea. Stuck in a cave, with no weapons and just a few torches? It still has to be actual survivable (and fun!), not an absolute spider-rape-fest. Maybe if we throw a single iron sword in the mix?

    They will carve out the space for the tree with their bare hands.
    They will pray they get more saplings!

    It takes 15 light for trees to grow and torches give off 14, so either they won't grow or it will take for ever.

    Ever tried mining stone with bare hands? They would be killed long before they ever mined the space needed to grow a sapling. But, I like the basic idea. Just a matter of determining the minimum needed starterkit to make it actually possible without being overly frustrating.

    I've seen trees grow with 4 torches near them; if not, kill a skeleton.

    Actually it takes a minimum light level of 10 for a tree to grow, just saying. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

    4 for 1 tree, 12 to illuminate your home base and keep mobs from spawning there, 16 for expeditions. Not really all that much

    16 is good enough <.< since the players are far apart, it would make sense for some of them to eventually group together

    Maybe limit chat to a 20 block radius from one player to another? Furthermore, perhaps different groups of survivors should spawn together in their own place. Example: my group are survivors of a plane crash and only possess the items scavanged from the plane. Another group could be natives of sorts in the land and utilize simple tools (such as swords and a bow and arrow set). Basically, different groups would be involved in their own agendas.

    no limiting chat v: it'd be nice for the players to talk to eachother; otherwise they may think they're alone and just leave

    I said a limited chat radius. That way, we wouldn't have super walky-talkies in a survival gamemode.
