# ๐จ The Map Art Gallery World
Preserving our landscape while empowering our creators.
To keep our "Forever World" pristine and natural, all large-scale map art has moved to a dedicated Map Art Dimension. This specialized world offers a flat, grief-protected environment optimized for massive creative projects.

#### ๐ How to Become an Artist
Access to the Art World is a premium server perk that ensures high-quality builds and project security.
* Cost: 300 Shards (One-time purchase).
* Perks: Permanent teleport access /art , a private protected plot, and team management tools.
* How to Buy: \[Insert Command or Link to Shop Here].
#### ๐ ๏ธ The Plot System
Every artist is assigned a pre-defined, admin-protected workspace.
* Foundation: Plots are set on a flat obsidian/bedrock floorโno more clearing land.
* Security: Your work is 100% safe from griefing and overlapping builds.
* Collaboration: Plot owners can add up to two helpers to assist with construction.
#### ๐๏ธ Visiting the Gallery
You don't need to be an artist to appreciate the work!
* Touring: Any player with the perk can teleport to the Art World to watch artists in action.
* Squaremap: View the entire gallery from your browser via our [\[Web Map Link\]](http://map.ashblossom.com:8080/#minecraft_mapart;flat;1000,64,476;3).
