Home Town was a medium sized community North East of the Spawn Region and one of the earliest settlements to be established in the server's history. At its height, the community was home to 12 members and was the birth place of The Empire- an early player faction.
"When you arrive, you'll probably ask the question, and we'll probably always give the same answer "Yes, we know."
Welcome to Home Town!
We are a cheery yet cold medieval styled settlement. We welcome all builders and even try to give players a shot when it comes to joining a group. We also take great pride in maintaining our graveyard and honoring those that have passed."

Characteristics
Home Town was built in a snowy valley, surrounded by walls and natural mountains which provided it a defensive advantage. Home Town consisted of numerous buildings including homes, public facilities, indoor farms, fortifications, and other infrastructure. Most of the buildings in the town followed a cold, medieval theme, constructed of spruce wood and various types of stone bricks.
History
Home Town was founded by FamishedAnt1030 and BoardingTree after announcing their intention to start a village upon joining the server on the 28th of February 2025. BoardingTree was killed by a creeper during the town's infancy, but was the architect of BoardingTree's Tower- one of the town's landmark attractions. Following BoardingTree's death, FamishedAnt1030 continued work on the town's construction and began inviting players to join the community.
Throughout early March, Home Town quickly became a haven for new players who, in return for shelter and provisions, offered their skills to the community. This arrangement meant that many of the town's members had discrete roles in areas such as record keeping, building, defence and redstone engineering.
As well as attracting new members and visitors, Home Town soon became a target for theft and griefing. Incidents were relatively tame initially, with the theft of items and an enchantment table prompting the community to take care hiding valuables. Sometime between the 16th of March and the 18th of March 2025, Home Town became the target of a raiding party comprised of _6_1 and sa6ta6ni6c. During the raid houses were burnt down, a lava cast was created and heads from the town cemetery were stolen. Despite efforts at reconstruction, the town's stability did not recover from this incident. This was further worsened during the Peanut War towards the end of March 2025, where the town suffered a second griefing incident which destroyed much of the towns infrastructure. By the end of March 2025, much of the community had died, fled or were inactive.
Current State
As of April 9th, the town is abandoned with players only visiting occasionally to observe the ruins. Due to the current state of the abandoned town, players are advised to take caution while exploring the ruins. Structures lay in varying states of decay, and inadequate lighting may allow for monsters to spawn, making it a potentially dangerous area. Still, because of its location to spawn, many new players stumble upon the crumbled village and make use of the farms, or various goods left behind that can still be salvaged.
