After moving the MC server from my place to Tom’s house, we decided to roll up a new world (As I had failed to copy the correct world to USB drive before travelling up). 
Once the server had spawned a new start zone we logged in to find flatter than normal grassland, with plentiful wildlife and a few odd quirks of geography which would make initial navigation easy. We quickly begun scouting the local area and digging in to survive the first night.
