Oceanview

## Features

### Zoo

*Main article: Zoo*
The Zoo lies in Oceanview. The Zoo contains a large variety of the mobs available in Minecraft. It has all sorts of different zones where different mobs live. It was made during Seacraft Beta and still stands today.

### Train station

Oceanview is home to the Zoo train station. This has two platforms which links to the Mainland Line.

### Beach and docks

Oceanview has a large beach where the suburb meets Island Ocean. The beach features a number of armour stands enjoying the beach in various ways.

Docks extend out from near the south end of the beach. There a few boats docked there, built by jaykobe and 180Hedgy.

## History

### Early history

*The Forgotten Period*Please note that the following content may contain assumptions as some of the information has been lost or forgotten.
The area was first settled when the Zoo was created during the Gamma Period. zac5, jacobme32 and aa11ron blew up some of the surrounding hills to provide a flat area on which to build on. The Zoo's border was then constructed out of quartz blocks. The habitats where made to replicate the biome where the mobs came from.

There was little development in Oceanview after that. A small bedrock structure was made next to the Zoo and a road was made from the Mainland Plaza area to the Zoo.

The creation of the Railway Network during the Expansion Period saw Zoo get its own train station. This station originally went to Mainland Plaza and the Bombing Range. Eventually, it also gained access to Town and its connection to the Bombing Range was replaced by the Animal Range.

The bedrock structure eventually became a banner shop.

### Suburb History

Oceanview was officially named during Seacraft 2.2.3 - 2.2.9, along with many other suburbs.

The Zoo train station was rebuilt during Seacraft 2.3.5. It connected to the East-western and the South-eastern lines.

Im\_Uncle\_Eddy later built a large hospital which dominated the area. While its exterior was completed at the time, its interior was never finished, having only a couple floors filled.

### Border change

During mid-June of 2022, SirAbrahamy, mayor of the Crater Council, was turning the neighbouring suburb of Crater Plains into a fantasy-themed area. As part of this, he constructed a border of trees surrounding the area in question, avoiding the private property of Five Nights at Caves 2.

ZacNVR thought it would be more appropriate if Oceanview and the Mainland Plaza City Council's borders extended to include the minigame. ZacNVR, on behalf of the M.P.C.C, struck up an agreement with SirAbrahamy to extend Oceanview, which he accepted.

### jaykobe's developments

In September 2022, jaykobe became mayor of the Mainland Plaza City Council, and decided to renovate the Zoo. The section of the Zoo in Oceanview was reworked as an entrance area, with a gift shop, café, toilets and a tour service for the old underground area. The Zoo was extended into Flat Hills, with this expansion being the majority of the Zoo's area.

In ZacNVR's contribution to the overhaul of the Railway Network, he rebuilt the Zoo station in the same place.

jaykobe also began to renovate the hospital in October, first changing the brick blocks for a selection of white blocks. He also rebuilt its interior.

jaykobe built a lighthouse later in the month, originally at the beach next to Mainland Plaza, but it was far too large for the tiny beach. ZacNVR helped him move it to Oceanview, where jaykobe built a new beach. He also planned on moving the old museum in Island Ocean to Oceanview, where it would lie just north of the Zoo station. ZacNVR, however, renovated the existing build.

On the 2nd of February, jaykobe built a small dojo just north of the Zoo station, on the same plot originally planned for new museum.

jaykobe would later begin filling the beach with armour stands and other decorations in late May of 2023, at the beginning of the Fruition Period. He and 180Hedgy also built a dock extending from the beach with a number of boats.
