In my mind, this server world is "the one where I made that tower base". That will make sense later.
I actually have the world file for this server. Except, based on screenshots that I took in 2019, this is an old save that isn't up to date with how the world was. Past me must have saved this version thinking it was an up to date version, or something. It's a shame, but at least I can look at some version of it.
This world is old enough (as of me writing this in 2025) for there to be remnants of people who I haven't had contact with in years. Weird to think about.
It's also old enough that I've forgotten many things. I don't fully know of everything that people have done on the server or even who built what (I have guesses, but). It's even before my daily journal (by around two months), so I don't have clear documentation of it anywhere.
Unlike the worlds that came after this one, looking back on this world is much more like some sort of archaeology rather than a look down memory lane. I'm looking back on it devoid of the context in which these things were done.
The first four screenshots are from 2019, and every screenshot after that is from 2025 in the outdated save.
05/30/2019 - Random screenshot before I built the tower base.
06/10/2019 - Defeating the Ender Dragon.
06/25/2019 - Screenshot from atop my tower base.
06/26/2019 - Beacon in a mine.
Another aerial shot. We chose to settle near a village so that we could extend it with our houses.
The wall that surrounds our area. This is an outdated screenshot, but we actually extended the wall quite a bit.
My original house (left) and the tower that I built as my main base (right). Both of these builds are based on popular builds that other people have made (bonus points if you can identify them). Every other house is built by another person.
Main area of my house.
The attic of the house where I used to store things before I had the tower.
My cat, Ebony :) There are two other cats that were in the top of my tower, but aren't in the outdated save :(
Closeup of my tower base.
The base of my tower. This is a water elevator that I use to get to the main area at the top. I used a piston block switcher on a timer to change whether or not the elevator goes down (magma block) or up (soul sand).
The main area of my tower at the top.
Aerial shot of the area behind my base.
Close up of the area behind my house.
A dock that I was in the middle of making.
The top of my mining area. I like using water elevators.
A tiny shack.
Inside of the tiny shack.
A tree (that I'm pretty sure I made) and someone's house.
Rest in piece that horse.
I've never actually explored this house before, so it's fun to see. This is the first floor.
Storage area of this house at the third level.
There was actually a secret basement in this house.
The secret basement is accessed through a hidden stairway activated by redstone torch key.

Ominous...
I like this upside-down U-shaped house that someone built next to mine.

A house in the middle of renovation.
I like the aquarium in this house.
Another house.
Interesting underwater tunnel.
I don't remember this at all.
The spawn is across this bridge somewhere.
A big house in progress.
I don't remember this house being here. You can see my tower and the very tall monster farm in the background.
