Let's look back to the first news post:
The next version 2005-02-23 12:00:00 (permalink)
For the next version I hope to have the following features:
Complete Avatar Custimization (every part a different color, etc)
Players spawn with hammer and spray can
More inventory slots
Jet pack particle effect
Death effect
Manual brick limit setting
Stop bricks from being placed inside environment geomertry
Require player to be at least somewhat near the bricks they are placing
Improve jetpack force
Optimize the bricks a little
Limit number of bricks a player can place in one second (just enough to stop server crashing scripts)
Ability to change the map through admin menu
That update took a lot of years to get..
Bug report: Change map button missing
