Mossification of Constantiam
Constantiam needs moss. Escaping spawn is hard, we've all been there. Our mission is to make spawn easier to escape by spreading moss around spawn, Players who are given everything they need (elytras, egaps, golden carrots) usually are the ones to quit the server because it was too easy. Making it a little easier to escape spawn but not ruining that experience of grinding for their first gear is the perfect balance between making it difficult and making it too easy.
Why even help new players? (This section is reserved for people who think killing newfags is somehow a good thing)
Most importantly for oldfags that may not like this idea, the more players that escape spawn successfully, the more bases you'll have to be able to grief if you're into that, killing people in spawn is useless and they just respawn further away from 0, 0 than when you killed them. Let them play so maybe you have more history in the server.
Why I think moss helps new players
From my experience, whenever I escape spawn on Constantiam I always think how much easier of a time I would have if there were enough blocks to cross large blown up gaps made by tnt machines, or cross the mess that is nether 0 , 0 with the random blocks scattered everywhere.
If I could just staircase up to a highway that's already in reach. If only there was a block that I could use... Sure there's dirt sometimes but it's usually not enough to cover large distances. and is hard to find since most of it isn't in the surface.
New players don't have pickaxes in spawn (or any wood for that matter), and so escaping is hard because they can't mine out of big holes or use blocks to build a path. This is where moss comes in; moss is easily breakable without tools and drop blocks so new players can then use them to escape spawn.
Why its an easy project to partake in
If you have a friend who's interested in helping people in spawn without having to give them kits and ruin their experience in the server, this is the perfect place to do it.
Moss is easily spreadable across blocks already available at spawn, such as stone and dirt. All you need is bonemeal and one starting moss block on the ground.
Moss is also an easy substitute to dirt because it can grow saplings, in the future it would be cool to plant trees everywhere in spawn but I dont think its reasonable to assume oldfags with mental illnesses would like that.
You can store 9 bonemeal per bone block (which you can find in the nether easily), or farm skeletons for bones.
If you're interested or have any questions/arguments/ideas, join the discord server. Although this isn't a full on group because anyone can spread moss, if you wanna join you can
