Well, I noticed that there's only one option on the towny dynamic map. I like the it when it's on a flat area, but I live in a mountain, and can't use it for claiming. I also can't see around the mountain, only one side.

I hear what you're saying. And I think there's a solution to your claiming problem. You can make plot borders visible in game with some nifty command. I'm sure Dom knows it by heart ;)

The reason I disabled the caves and flat map is pretty simple. It takes twice as long to render a tile if those maps are enabled and it takes twice the disk space. We want to preserve the free-roaming-go-everywhere aspect on this server and not let it be bogged down because of having a ton of files nobody ever uses. Also I don't like the flat map since it shows very little detail. Frankly, it's an ugly map if you ask me.

As for not being able to see around the mountain. You could always try riding there on a bat, or a blaze if you have one. Riding those looks awesome! :D

How do you ride them? Since that would be cool...

With a saddle. It's the MobRider plugin that makes this possible.
