Jeremiah Garland (Minecraft)

**Jeremiah Garland** (styled in-game as **Tsar\_Gar**, formerly **JeremiahGarland**) is the Minecraft account of the user with the same name.

On WikiCraft 3.0, he was a member of Dreiton. Currently, on WikiCraft 4.0, he is a member of both Skyhold and Kassôn.

## History

Jeremiah Garland has frequented several servers since his creation in May, 2012, under the name Captain\_Naughty. He was encouraged to play Minecraft by his friend Andrew Mallace, who was one of the owners of the highly successful server WaffleCraft.

### Draftcraft

Draftcraft was a vanilla factions server owned by DAVESDAVY. Other known players included Mega2098, Dirty\_Mallace, dcomando15, Agent\_\_M, and Rocket\_93. It was Jeremiah's first server, which he joined in May of 2012. Him and Agent\_\_M formed a faction called 'The Minenauts' and established an underground base on an island far from spawn. Over a span of two months, Agent\_\_M taught Jeremiah the basics of Minecraft, including strategies for mining, mob combat, how to construct a Nether portal, and the best way to build a base. The two also began constructing an elaborate underwater base completely out of glass.

However, Agent\_\_M vanished about two months after the founding of The Minenauts, with Jeremiah's last message to him recorded on July 22, 2012. Mysteriously, no one has seen or heard from him since, and it's likely that Jeremiah was the last person he talked to. Nevertheless, when Agent\_\_M stopped coming online, Jeremiah lost interest in running the base alone, and left the server shortly thereafter.

### Olexcraft

The spiritual successor of Draftcraft, Olexcraft was a towny-guilds-factions server owned by Mega2098. It featured most of the same players as Draftcraft (sans Agent\_\_M), plus several other notable players such as josefurnace, StpehenPOTCO, KatBlueDog, GenLawrence, Squirto19, BaronVonShush, AlReyesSpark, AwesomeA321, The\_Goldtimbers, and Funnyguy651.

Jeremiah joined the server sometime in the summer of 2012, shortly after it was created. He joined a fledgling town called 'Rock and Dirt', which then included AwesomeA321, josefurnace, and Rocket\_93. Jeremiah befriended Josef, and the two formed a faction within the town called 'The Templars', which initially operated out of Josef's hidden potions lab in a mountain not far from Rock and Dirt. Jeremiah quickly established himself as Josef's 'number two', and carried out several tasks for him, for his potions company Aperture Science, and for The Templars. Chief among these was killing two rival potion-makers and former members of Rock and Dirt, Skull53 and ShadowwKnight, who were based in a fortified tower far off the coast from the town.

The Templars eventually grew and included Rocket\_93 and BaronVonShush, the latter of whom arrived in Rock and Dirt a month or so later. At one point Jeremiah and Rocket briefly left Rock and Dirt to form their own town, Acre, but creative differences between the two caused them to abandon the project and return to Rock and Dirt. A few weeks later, as AwesomeA321's activity waned and interest in Rock and Dirt decreased, Josef, Rocket, and Jeremiah built yet another town, called Minascus. It was a fairly large walled city located adjacent to Rock and Dirt, and was intended to be the new capital of the increasingly influential Templars faction.

Soon a second major faction emerged on the server: NCR, which included DAVESDAVY and dcomando15. Several wars broke out between The Templars and NCR as the latter encroached on the former's territory. It was during this time that Jeremiah came to favour the bow as his weapon of choice. For his home, he had built a large tower that loomed over Rock and Dirt and Minascus, from whence he would survey the land, and shoot any enemies that approached. During this time, he was also briefly involved in two other towns: FrozenLA, owned by AlReyesSpark, and Funnyguy651's Morocco.

Eventually, josefurnace fell out with several other players on the server (chief among them Rocket\_93), and temporarily left Olexcraft in the early autumn. Before he departed, he passed on control of The Templars to Jeremiah. Rocket\_93, BaronVonShush, and Jeremiah continued on in The Templars for another couple months. With the members of NCR briefly out of the picture, they set about exploring and developing new regions, and engaged in war simulation games. Sometime in early 2013, however, Jeremiah's interests in Minecraft waned and he left Olexcraft.

### Sullycraft

In the summer of 2013, Jeremiah briefly returned to Minecraft, this time to the fairly competitive factions server of Sullycraft. Several ex-Templars, including josefurnace, BaronVonShush, Rocket\_93, and AwesomeA321 had reunited on the server and built a substantial base in the swamps not far from a large city controlled by a hostile faction. Jeremiah happened to join them a few days before they planned to attack the town. During the preparations for the attack, tensions between Josef and Rocket boiled over and the latter left the server. Jeremiah quickly gathered materials and constructed armour and an enchanted bow. Josef had brewed a hefty supply of invisible potions that the other Templars all drank, and the assault on the enemy city was underway. Wielding his signature bow, Jeremiah exchanged arrows with a player on the city's walls, while Josef, Awesome, and Baron rushed for the gate. The inhabitants of the city were taken completely by surprise and, despite being outnumbered, the Templars killed many members of the enemy faction. Jeremiah, for his part, even killed an admin of the server, who was a high-ranking member of the faction.

After the successful battle, interest in Sullycraft dwindled, and a few days later the Templars disbanded once again. It would be Jeremiah's last time serving in the Templars under josefurnace.

### Reyescraft

Sometime in mid-late 2013, Jeremiah joined Reyescraft, owned by Olexcraft alumnus AlReyesSpark. Jeremiah and BaronVonShush, who had spent several of the past months playing on a mini-game server called 'Minecade', joined Reyescraft at roughly the same time and founded a town together. Inspired by architecture of the Middle Ages and their shared passion for vikings, the two decided to call the town 'Husavik' and built it entirely in mediaeval Nordic style. MokikiMorgan would later join them. Husavik eventually grew to become one of the largest towns Jeremiah has built to date, and was the first instance of his signature 'Viking-style' of building he would become known for on subsequent servers.

About a month or so later, Reyescraft closed down.

### GabeWorld

In February of 2014, Jeremiah joined GabeWorld, a short-lived towny server owned by OMG\_GABRIEL. Several former players of Olexcraft were involved in the server, including AwesomeA321, Dirty\_Mallace, Squirto19, BaronVonShush, Funnyguy651, AlReyesSpark, and Rocket\_93. They were joined by a newcomer to Minecraft: Cannonwalker, who immediately set about building a large wooden ship. Jeremiah helped Cannonwalker build the ship, called *The Black Warrior*, and briefly lived on it as the crew's cook and fisherman. Shortly thereafter, however, Jeremiah, Cannonwalker, and the rest of the crew joined a town called Savica on the coast not far from the ship. It was ran by Rocket\_93 and BaronVonShush.

From the start Savica was a troubled town; despite its democratic intentions (such as the formation of a parliament), several of its inhabitants constantly vied for more power and influence. Jeremiah spent most of his time building an elaborate underground temple complex not far from Savica with BaronVonShush, and the two became Savica's religious figureheads. Soon, as tensions rose, many members within the town broke off into different factions and interest groups. Eventually both Jeremiah and Baron joined Team Piston, founded by AwesomeA321 and Cannonwalker, the latter of whom had become the server's wealthiest netherwart magnate. With the plan of economically dominating GabeWorld's market, Team Piston remained in the Savica underground for weeks, hidden from Rocket\_93, who had since tried to take singular control of the town, much to the annoyance of its other members.

Team Piston's plans were not fully realised, as GabeWorld closed around May of that year.

### EliteCraft

In June 2014, Jeremiah introduced several of the Wikians to a classic factions server he had frequented for some time: EliteCraft. Jeremiah had hoped to recreate josefurnace's Templars as a faction on this new server; a newcomer amidst the group, ViceroyRobert took it upon himself to create the faction first, much to Jeremiah's chagrin. Nevertheless, the group, which also included in its impressive lineup BaronVonShush, Cannonwalker, AwesomeA321, Dirty\_Mallace, DAVESDAVY, Funnyguy651, AlReyesSpark, and another newcomer by the name of Ned\_Edgewalker, quickly rose to become the most powerful faction on the server. They ventured tens of thousands of blocks away from spawn and constructed, far out in the middle of the ocean, a massive cobblestone tower, topped with an obsidian bunker, and covered with flowing water so as to protect it from TNT cannons. A week into their existence, the Templars had successfully raided six factions.

The Templars' success attracted the attention of another powerful faction, called Entendre. On June 12, 2014, a small group of Entendre's members had located the Templar base, and had constructed a TNT cannon outside of the base's claims. Realising that the flowing water protected the base's cobblestone walls from TNT blasts, the leader of the Entendre attackers, Legenzeryfuries, assaulted the base directly to try and create an opening. Jeremiah, bow in hand, along with the other Templars, valiantly defended the base for over an hour; the group desperately attempted to plug every hole made by the cannon, and to prevent Legenzeryfuries from breaking in. Despite the Templars' ongoing success in defending the base, ViceroyRobert, the faction leader, began ordering everyone to gather all materials and evacuate the base. Jeremiah, Cannonwalker, and a few others protested Robert's commands, and stayed behind to continue defending the base.

The Entendre's attack on the base was suddenly cut short when the server reset. Logging back on, Jeremiah noticed that the factions system had been messed up; though the factions themselves still existed, the roles were reset. He immediately told one of the server administrators that he was the leader of the Templars faction, and the admin promptly gave him command of the faction, rather than ViceroyRobert. ViceroyRobert and the others who had absconded decided to stay in the Templars under Jeremiah's leadership, but refused to return to the original tower base, thus effectively splitting the faction into two groups. Jeremiah, Cannonwalker, and BaronVonShush set about repairing and strengthening the tower base. In the weeks that followed the two groups continued to work together to raid and bring down more factions. The period of success was brief, though, as on June 30 ViceroyRobert and Funnyguy651 betrayed the Templar faction when the duo sneaked back into the tower base and blew it up. Jeremiah, along with all of the other Templars, left the server shortly thereafter.

### Minedlands

In the summer of 2014, Jeremiah joined Cannonwalker, Rocket, and Squirto on a new vanilla server with a small community: Minedlands. The four eventually settled on a small archipelago (they later linked together all of the isles with dirt and simply named the new landform 'the Island'), and were later joined by AwesomeA321, Dirty\_Mallace, BaronVonShush, and a few others. On this new server the group avoided the mistakes made with Savica, and kept their settlement free from political conflict and dramatic intrigue. Nevertheless, life on the Island soon grew tiring (and crowded), and eventually Cannonwalker and AwesomeA321 left to form a settlement of their own. Jeremiah joined them the next day. They had sailed to a small island not too far away, and had established a new base under the island's surface. The three named their new group the Brotherhood of the Golden Pants, after a set of gold leggings Cannonwalker had previously received from a zombie.

Jeremiah split his time between the Brotherhood of the Golden Pants and a new settlement called Windforth he had founded on a nearby continent. Inspired by the town of Husavik he had built on Reyescraft, Windforth was built in a mediaeval Nordic style, though it never came close to reaching Husavik's size. Though Cannonwalker contributed some to Windforth, Jeremiah's interest in the project and the server as a whole eventually dwindled, and he soon left Minedlands.

### Civcraft 2.0

Civcraft 2.0 was a popular towny server featuring the high-risk environment of pearl prisons. Unlike several other Wikians, Jeremiah's involvement in Civcraft 2.0 was very limited.

In September of 2014, he joined Cannonwalker, Funnyguy653, Dirty\_Mallace, and AlReyesSpark in a town the first two had started, called Astendaven. However, Jeremiah's time in the town was brief, as he was killed by an Enderman a few days later and respawned thousands of blocks away. This discouraging turn of events caused Jeremiah to temporarily leave Civcraft 2.0. Shortly after Jeremiah's departure, the other members of Astendaven abandoned the town and went their separate ways. Jeremiah was never a part of Corvus, another Civcraft 2.0 town founded by Cannonwalker, and largely considered to be the first of the Wikians' "great towns". Corvus was, notably and infamously, burned to the ground by Jeremiah's friend and mentor, and former leader of the Templars, josefurnace.

Jeremiah finally returned to Civcraft 2.0 nearly a year later, in August of 2015. He spent several weeks out of touch with the Wikians, instead opting to simply travel around the server's impressive and well-connected world as a vagabond. He spent significant amounts of time in Orion, Breslau, and Carbon, before purchasing a small house in the projects of Mt Augusta, the server's largest and most central city. Finally, one day in September, he received an invitation from Cannonwalker to join him in his new settlement. Jeremiah accepted, and made the long trek down to Cannonwalker's quaint yet isolated town of Pyxis, soon thereafter renamed to Sidon. Together the two developed the town by building houses, farms, roads, and even an inn for any passersby. Eventually, the duo were joined by Ned\_Edgewalker, drlithium\_, Beastdudez, and Dirty\_Mallace. With six people now calling Sidon home, it grew substantially and is now remembered as the second of the "great towns".

Interest in Sidon dwindled but never completely disappeared, until Civcraft 2.0 closed in January of 2016. Jeremiah again went on another long hiatus.

### MCEmpires

Between his stints in Civcraft 2.0, Jeremiah partook in a few Wikian-founded servers. The first of these was MCEmpires, which he joined in December of 2014. MCEmpires was a RP server wherein players each claimed and led a real-life country in the year 1776. As most decent choices were taken by the time he joined the server, Jeremiah opted to invent his own country: the Kingdom of Padania, an amalgamation of all independent Northern Italian states. He ruled it as King Octavio I. His most notable action was forming the Yavin Alliance, a coalition of allied countries, with the Holy Roman Empire (represented by drlithium\_ and josefurnace), Russia (represented by Ned\_Edgewalker), Austria (represented by Hannah Bluefeather), and the United States of America (represented by Dirty\_Mallace). Jeremiah was also present at the Council of St Petersburg, held the following day.

Aside from these events, Jeremiah was not much involved in MCEmpires. He left the server at some point in January of 2015.

### NeddehCraft

On January 11, 2015, NeddehCraft, the first of Ned\_Edgewalker's servers, was opened. Jeremiah was an administrator and the vice president of NeddehCraft, his first time being on the staff of a server. The server was not a typical vanilla server: all players were given three days of creative mode to design and build faction bases. In addition to the factions aspect, a primary focus of the server were Challenges, which Jeremiah helped build - players would be given prizes for completing various parkour or mob-based trials around the server.

Less than a month after opening, NeddehCraft closed on February 1. It was succeeded on June 13 by NeddehCraft 2.0. Due to real-life commitments, Jeremiah did not partake in NeddehCraft 2.0. His six-month hiatus from Minecraft would end when he returned to Civcraft 2.0 in August.

### NeddehCraft 3

With the closing of Civcraft 2.0 in January of 2016, Jeremiah once again took a hiatus from Minecraft before returning to join the administration of NeddehCraft 3, released June 25. Though a survival server, it was also heavily oriented toward roleplaying and story progression. Jeremiah's role on the server was only limited to the preparation phase in the weeks leading up to release, when he helped construct several story locations around the server, including the Occan capital city of Providence. To establish a slightly more 'professional' demeanor, Jeremiah changed his account's username from the juvenile-sounding 'Captain\_Naughty' to 'Jeremiah\_Garland', on May 30, 2015.

Like its predecessors, NeddehCraft was not open for long. It closed on July 12.

### CivWars

Once more ending a Minecraft hiatus, Jeremiah joined CivWars, a country-towny server, in October of 2016. On October 7, he changed his account username again, this time to 'Marx\_1848'. On CivWars, he joined up with his fellow Wikians Cannonwalker, drlithium\_, and Beastdudez, who had already founded a nation called Andalusia, centred on its capital city, Cydonia. They were also eventually joined by Ned\_Edgewalker, TheNextMaster2, Squirto19, and Dirty\_Mallace.

Over the span of two months Cydonia grew to become one of the Wikians' most impressive cities. Jeremiah, living in a partially hollowed-out mountain overlooking the town, built much of Cydonia's infrastructure, including its automated farms, windmill, and mountaintop fortress. He also contributed to Cannonwalker's most infamously ambitious project: a massive cobblestone wall that encircled the entire nation. His most proud builds, however, were two places of worship: the Church of Nationalism, a large Roman-esque temple located on a mountaintop not far from Cydonia, and a wooden stave church built in his signature 'Viking' style (which would later be rebuilt as the Church of St Tempus in Dreiton).

Eventually, interest in Cydonia waned, and by mid-December there were no active players in the town. There would be a brief revival of interest in early February, but Jeremiah, like all of the other Wikians, permanently left the server shortly thereafter.

### Desistance

After another hiatus of roughly a year and a half, Jeremiah once more returned in May of 2018, this time to assist Ned in creating another server: Desistance. Much like Neddehcraft 3, Desistance was intended to be a server based around story progression, though this time with far more roleplaying features. As last time, Jeremiah helped build some of the future server's story locations, particularly the large mediaeval-style kingdom of Skyhold. The server was scheduled for release in July.

One day in mid June, Jeremiah suddenly ceased production on Desistance, and, due to real-life commitments, disappeared. He was only about a quarter of the way finished with Skyhold. This, along with Ned's own commitments, prevented the server from ever being released.

## WikiCraft

### WikiCraft 3.0

After Desistance, Jeremiah went on another lengthy hiatus, and as such was not involved in the first incarnations of WikiCraft. However, he happened to return right before the release of WikiCraft 3.0 on March 31, 2019. He joined the server the next day, and promptly accepted an invitation to the town of Dreiton, founded by server owner Ned\_Edgewalker, MC\_Zoomer, TheNextMaster2, and Cannonwalker. They were eventually joined by Benthamic, Marc\_Warfury, RoselleFeng, and Doopulus.

On March 25, 2020, as WikiCraft 3.0 continued to grow, Jeremiah joined the server's administration team, alongside Ned, Cannonwalker, and Benthamic.

Jeremiah formally joined Dreiton on April 1, 2019. Like the other residents, he immediately set about developing the fledgling town. He traversed slightly further south than the others, and set the groundwork for a castle on the tip of the town's peninsula. Castle Dreiton was fully completed about a week later, though additions would be gradually made in subsequent months. Castle Dreiton acted as Jeremiah's main home on the server.

On April 14, Jeremiah was one of three Dreitonians, alongside Zoomer and Sam, who defeated the Ender Dragon. This action was the cause of much controversy, as several other players on the server wished to partake in the killing of the dragon together. Following the incident, Jeremiah apologised and the Ender Dragon was reset and defeated a second time.

Throughout the span of WikiCraft 3.0, Jeremiah was an active player and builder on the server, particularly in and around Dreiton. On December 31, 2020, the second-to-last day of WikiCraft 3.0's existence, Jeremiah and Ned famously destroyed Dreiton using TNT and lava. WikiCraft 3.0 officially shut down the very next day, on January 1, 2021.

### WikiCraft 4.0

On June 14, 2020, WikiCraft 4.0 officially launched, simultaneous to WikiCraft 3.0's then-ongoing existence. Like its predecessor, 4.0 is a survival server featuring similar plugins and an unofficial 'towny' format. Jeremiah is a member of the town of Skyhold (with Ned\_Edgewalker and Cannonwalker), though he is also involved in the neighbouring Wikian towns of Kokomo (with MC\_Zoomer and Marc\_Warfury) and Kassôn (with Mexican\_Sultan). He is the founding member of The Templars, a 'secret faction' operating out of an underground lair in Skyhold, which also serves as Jeremiah's primary residence.

Jeremiah was once again a member of the administration for WikiCraft 4.0. On June 16, two days after the server's launch, Jeremiah was named WikiCraft's director.

On November 13, 2020, Jeremiah changed his username to Tsar\_Gar.

### Projects

Jeremiah has constructed several projects in Dreiton and elsewhere. Below are a few examples, ongoing or otherwise.

## Trivia

* Jeremiah's current Minecraft username (JeremiahGarland) was inspired by his characters 'Lord Jeremiah Garland' on the MMORPG *Pirates of the Caribbean Online* (2007-2013), and 'Jeremiah Garland' on its unofficial reboot *The Legend of Pirates Online* (2015-).
	+ His original username, Captain\_Naughty, was the result of a dare by Andrew Mallace (Dirty\_Mallace), who inspired Jeremiah to get the game.
	+ Another username, Marx\_1848, paid homage to Karl Marx (a prominent economic and political philosopher) and the year 1848 (the year *The Communist Manifesto* was first published).
* Jeremiah has consecutively kept the same unedited skin since he first started playing the game in 2012.
* Multiple names of towns Jeremiah built in previous servers have been recycled into WikiCraft 3.0:
	+ Sidon, which he built with several others in Civcraft 2.0, lends its name to the central square in Dreiton
	+ Husavik, which he built with BaronVonShush in Reyescraft, lends its name to New Husavik, a district of Dreiton featuring a similar architectural style
	+ Windforth, which he built with Cannonwalker in Minedlands, lends its name to Jeremiah's personal estate, Windforth Plantation
* Jeremiah is a newcomer to, but an avid participant of, the game of Cactice. His record currently stands at 7-5 in championship games, and he regularly uses the stick *Nedsbane*.
