Survival

**Survival** was a original world on the Dogcraft Nation Server alongside Amplified, MCMMO, Creative and Skyblock and was the dominant world of early server history. The world was initially opened to a whitelist of players on the 28ᵗʰ of September 2015 and was opened to the public on the 14ᵗʰ of November that year.

The world is now commonly referred to as **Survival 1** after the second major Survival Multiplayer world, Survival 2, was released.

## Beginnings

An announcement of a new, official dogcraft server was made on dogcraft.net sometime in late June or July 2015. The earliest public mention of the Survival world is found in a video by ReNDoG on the 7ᵗʰ of August 2015. Alongside these mentions, a forum thread was made for players to apply for building the server hub. Many players put their name forward, and a ballot was needed to select them. These players were subsequently invited to test the new world, and given the pioneer rank on server launch.

The world was launched without an end dimension, with the knowledge that the 1.9 update would change the end significantly. The end was added on the 21ˢᵗ of May 2016 with a large opening event.

## Getting Around

An increasing amount of travel options were available throughout Survival.

### Warps

Command warps were added as needed, with the exception of /spawn and /warp pigfarm which were present from the start of the world.

* /spawn - *Took you to Spawn*
* /warp pigfarm - *Took you to the original Pigman Farm*
* /warp old\_mall - *Took you to the original Mall*
* /warp towncentre - *Took you to Stream Town*
* /warp end - *Took you to the End Portal*
* /endfarm - *Took you to the Enderman Farm (while in the end dimension)*
* /warp mall - *Took you to the Mall (later renamed to '/warp survival\_mall' with the advent of Survival 2)*
* /warp pigfarm2.0 - *Took you to the second Pigman Farm*

With the closure of the world, these commands no longer exist.

### Survival Railway Network

The Survival Railway Network *(SRN)* was founded months into the Survival world, and comprised a community-operated overworld public transport service that consisted of a number of minecart railway lines across the world that centered around it's Spawn Station. The *SRN* linked other major location and bases via secondary lines.

### Nether Transport Network

The Nether Transport Network (*NTN*) on Survival was the nether-based counterpart to the Survival Railway Network, which was based on high-speed transportation using of boats on packed ice to get around quickly. It was founded after the success of the *SRN* and just like it, the *NTN*could be accessed from a variety of locations across the server.

## Major Locations

Several locations of major note have been created on the Survival world.

### Spawn City

#### Main Article: *Spawn (Survival 1)*

The first settlement on any Dogcraft world, Spawn City is in close proximity to the spawn point of the world. Server pioneers begun building here in the first days of Survival, and momentum for the unregulated fledgling city carried until many months later. Spawn City is thought of as the largest city on the Survival World, and likely of any world.

### Stream Town

#### Main Article: *Stream Town*

An impulse decision by server owner *ReNDoG* during his first livestream on the Dogcraft server in May 2016 pronounced the founding of Stream Town. The town was created with the intention of being the scene of weekly streams from him. Server Headmods *victix11* and *StaircaseClimber* are responsible for most of the infrastructure for the plot-based town. Stream Town was a relatively short-lived sensation, but had a continued legacy as a location for quests, builds, projects and server history.

### Lackria

#### Main Article: *Lackria*

Lackria was founded in June 2016 by *William278.* Along with *SENsationals02,* they set about creating a player-built, plot based city. The city expanded quickly and grew to become one of the largest and most talked about locations on the world. Lackria's player built and managed style became a major influence on subsequent cities and towns in other worlds.

## Closure

On the 14th of October, 2018, it was announced that the Survival world, along with all other existing worlds would be deleted and replaced with the Survival 3 world the following week. On the night of Friday the 19ththe world was removed and on the morning of the 20th replaced by the new world along with the update to *1.13: The Update Aquatic*.
