===== Timeline ===== | ===== Timeline ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== August 2021 ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The first known screenshot of Bloxxy Moxxy is taken, on 2021-08-02. It is of the ravine just outside of what would later be known as New Bloxus. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | In this time, ZLG started a base in a relatively clear part of plains, with water nearby: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Bloxxy Moxxy gained its first member during this time: **KatEmy84**, | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== September 2021 ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | By this point, ZLG's base was established and a small farm was setup. ZLG set out to explore, coming across a Nether portal just north of what would become New Bloxus. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | ZLG explored more, until he found a run-down town next to a Nether portal. It was decided then, that ZLG had discovered the first real lore of the world: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | ZLG deduced that, whoever lived in this village once upon a time, became overwhelmed by an enemy so great, they sought to flee into the Nether, a place so dangerous and foul that only the bravest dare enter. Given that there is no trace of these people left behind in the Nether, or near the portal ZLG found near his base, one can only conclude that all that's left of Old Bloxus are zombies. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Next, ZLG decided to setup a small outpost at this portal, and build a rail going from it to the location near his base. ZLG vowed to rescue those distant zombies, and give them a place to work and live in peace. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This was the birth of New Bloxus. In the coming months, ZLG would slowly build a residential area, enough to house 8 homes. The exploration continues... | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== January 2022 ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Exploration proved useful, and there were a lot of fun places to check out. | ||

+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== March 2022 ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | This is the point where Bloxus began taking off. **Elomeno** and **ReaperFae** join the realm during this month, and building projects begin as we decided to play Creative until we have some fun projects built. During this time, both ZLG and Elomeno would spend time in Survival to continue building their characters and their storage legitimately, | ||
+ | |||
+ | During their travels, Elomeno and ZLG found an awesome hole in the middle of a tundra: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | This would later become the Underground Base. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ZLG wanted to make a run to the Badlands again, so on his journey, he found some cool stuff. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | {{: | ||

+ | {{: | ||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Eventually ZLG came back, and began building a spiral staircase in the Underground Base: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | By this point, Elomeno had built a base in the Underground Base with ZLG, and put together a house for himself in New Bloxus' | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | //Note that the Transit Hub and ZLG's fortress hadn't been fully built yet. In the wall, you can see the entrance to ZLG's old base, which formed the foundation of New Bloxus.// | ||
+ | |||
+ | Later in the month, ZLG and Elomeno made a trip together to the Badlands, so they could put together a rail system to connect all of the major points of interest. After building out so much railing and researching the different ways to manage minecarts, Elomeno seemed to be the one who should manage it, so ZLG left it to him. | ||

+ | Things started getting flashy! **TamagoYakiDono** also joins the realm! | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | ReaperFae found a fun [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | //Do you see the minecart experiment in these pictures?// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ZLG and Elomeno helped with the Nether side, since it needed to integrate into the tunnel system ZLG built in the Nether, connecting every major location in Bloxxy Moxxy. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The next major project was Rainbow Road, built mostly by ZLG, with Elomeno' | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | ZLG began work on the flying Fortress, including the rocky underside. After he finished with the main tower of the fortress, ZLG didn't know what to put on the top. So, like any other reasonable person, we installed USB 3.0, because we aren't barbarians. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Next, ZLG moved his supplies from the old base to the fortress, then tore down the base for resources and filled it in. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | //Rumor says brave adventurers may visit the depths under New Bloxus and find a note, or even treasure!// | ||
+ | |||
+ | Thus far, New Bloxus looks pretty decent: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Soon after, Elomeno and ZLG went on an expedition to some distant Dripstone Caverns that Elomeno found. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | The two got back to Bloxus and began working on other things. | ||

+ | TamagoYakiDono built herself a treehouse in the residential district, as did ReaperFae. | ||

+ | Now most of us have a house on Blargh Lane! | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | |||
+ | ZLG's next project was a lab to experiment with redstone in. For lack of a better name, RedStone Labs seemed apropos. So he and Elomeno got to work. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | //In the beginning, it was just built into the side of the cave, next to ZLG's underground base.// | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | //The main structure is built, and we have kind of a sidewalk.// | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | //Next, we switched to use lights that we'll later program, and made it a little taller, so it can accomodate large builds.// | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | //The inside, lookin' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Soon after, KatEmy84 wanted to build herself a castle just outside of Bloxus. ZLG helped her out. | ||
+ | |||

+ | ---- | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the latest episode of Bloxxy Moxxy, ZLG and Elomeno did a number of things in just a few days! | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | They went to Old Bloxus so they could cart villagers back to New Bloxus, only to find there was a single zombie villager left! :-( Thankfully, a few more zombie villagers showed up, and they were converted. They put together a camp for them to breed, then hired a Cleric for the new Trading Hall of New Bloxus! He sold Ender Pearls, which made it simpler to put together Eyes of Ender to locate the End Portal! | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | It took a while, but ZLG and Elomeno made their trek northeast, to a distant village they hadn't discovered yet. They were passing through, when an Eye of Ender centered in on a tree in the middle of town. The two wasted no time digging downward, sweeping and securing the Stronghold, diving into the End Portal, and slaying the Ender Dragon! **Huzzah!** | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Shortly after, ZLG went into the End alone, to seek out an End Ship and End City, for the amazing loot! Sadly, he died a few times, losing his precious 42 experience levels! :-( Oh well. In the end, ZLG secured enough Shulker Shells for the other players to have a Shulker Box each, and enough Eyes of Ender to make Ender Chests for everyone. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **This marks the end of the primary Survival content for this Realm.** There are still other structures that we haven' | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | |||
+ | TamagoYakiDono put together a nice little gazebo to look at, just north of New Bloxus: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | And also, a crescent moon fountain: | ||

+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||

+ | ---- | ||
+ | |||
+ | ZLG added a garden maze beneath the fortress, and a scene from a particularly famous game... :-) | ||

+ | ==== July 2022 ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sadly, **KatEmy84** departed from the world of Bloxus this month. Bloxus citizens wonder if KatEmy was abducted, or if the meteorite that struck the corner of town caused them to leave. There is empty ground where KatEmy' | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== September 2022 ==== | ||
+ | Due to a lack of playing, and of disposable cash, the realm was shut down. A backup of the world exists in my storage, so we'll be able to play here again through other means, or be able to upload the world to a new realm, anytime. Our history is not lost. :) |
