Thanks for the quick reply.
Is it possible to edit the world to remove 1.8 items? They have put a fair amount of work into buildings, etc. and I'm not sure they want to start from scratch.
On the other hand my granddaughter was mentioning wanting a world with a large flat space so they can build a huge castle. I see there is a Worldedit plugin. Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to use something like that?
I assume the view distance is a radius and that changing from the default of 10 to 8 will have a greater effect than going from 6 to 4? Right now there is just the two kids playing on it, although they might bring in some friends in the future. Still I doubt more than 4 or 5 total players.
However, from what I've been reading here, if we restart the worlds and they play with the 1.7 clients, when you add the 1.8 features we can then 'upgrade' the clients without having to restart the world again?
My grandson was also asking about some way to mark territory. Is that supported or is there a plugin for that? I saw one for restricting which players can access certain areas, but that's not what he wants. He wants something to tell other players that they are on land claimed by him.
Thanks again.
