+# Creative Progress
+
+I have closed the poll for the creative server and the results were as follows:
+
+- The world will be a regular generation world!
+- There will be no plots or land claims.
+- `/gamemode` will be allowed.
+- Worldedit will be included.
+- A protected dedicated spawn area will be built.
+- The world difficulty will be easy.
+
+The [Creative page](../../creative.md) has some light details about what is coming next, however there is a lot more in the background that needs to happen.
+
+Here's what I need to do:
+
+- Find a good seed for the server. (Will likely task Kate_Biron with this.)
+- Find a person to build the creative hub since I am terrible at that type of thing.
+- Configure WorldEdit to be safe for users to use instead of just admins.
+- Configure WorldGuard to protect the spawn area.
+- Make sure that the other plugins are configured consistently with the other servers.
+- Make sure that players get the correct permissions on the server.
+- Get the datapacks installed.
+- Optimize the configs.
+- Build the creative page for the website.
+- Etc.
+
+This is going to take me a bit, especially coming off a move. I am still very tired from everything that has been going on and trying to settle.
+
+After all of that is done, some lower priority things will include setting up the world download and other small backend tasks including setting up backups and such.
