Craterwood

**Craterwood** (formerly called **Crater Plains**) is the area just near Crater Village and the Zoo.

## Features

### Five Nights at Caves

Craterwood contains Five Nights at Caves, one of Seacraft's only Non-Official minigames. It can be found on Crater Road next to the local railway station.

### Train station

Craterwood station forms part of the Mainland Line. Uniquely, this one station connects to three other stations on the same railway line, since the line forms a loop.

The train station can be found in the hobbit area and is themed accordingly.

### Hobbiton

One of Craterwood's main features is the Hobbit-themed area. It features six hobbit hole entrances. Most of these are simply facades, leading to nowhere, but some serve as entrances for things like the train station and Five Nights at Caves. This area also features some nice farms and greenery surrounding the hobbit holes.

### Dwarven keep

The suburb also features a Dwarven keep at the edge of the suburb. It is built into the side of a hill, with many chambers inside.

## History

The first activity in Crater Plains was Zossimov2000 when he built his house. Not much about this house can be remembered because it was eventually blown up.

### Five Nights at Caves

A long while after, Clone888, RugbyDiamonds and jacobme32 made a minigame based on Five Nights at Freddy's. It was very small and simple. Eventually, zac5 joined this game. Soon they thought of the idea to make a brand new one that was completely original. This was the start of Five Nights at Caves. It was built in an exposed cave that was blocked off from any source of daylight. It was eventually made into the minigame today.

The suburb Crater Plains was released as part of Seacraft 2.3, giving access to Five Nights at Caves as well as the Amusement Park in Old Mountains. Originally the suburb extended as far as modern-day Crater Village, which at the time was a just a large mess of craters.

A little while after, Five Nights at Caves 2 was made. This minigame is mainly just a remix of Five Nights at Freddy's 2, although that wasn't the intention.

### Establishment as a suburb

Crater Plains was first released as a suburb as part of Seacraft 2.3. Initially, it extended all the way to the Bombing Mines, as Crater Village had not been established yet. In fact, Crater Plains was named after the crater in which the village is now built. Additionally, Five Nights at Caves 2 was also considered part of Crater Plains.

### Sir\_Azza's initial developments

After becoming the mayor of the Crater Council, Sir\_Azza started making great changes to the area. He made two parallel rows of trees which ran along each side of Crater Street leading up to Crater Village. He also made a huge wheat farm on the west side of the plains.

### Fantasy overhaul

At the beginning of Version 3, SirAbrahamy (who was formerly Sir\_Azza) reclaimed his position as mayor of Crater Council. In mid-late June, he began to undo the work he had formerly done in the area, removing the wheat farm and some buildings on the edge of Crater Village. With the help of ZacNVR, he built a border of tall spruce trees around Crater Plains and part of Old Mountains, where inside he would declare as a fantasy-themed area.

Some plans were made regarding the placement of dwarven and elvish areas, with dwarves to the east and elves to the west. Additionally, a wizard tower planned atop a hill and was built shortly after.

A hobbit area was then designated beneath the wizard tower, around Five Night's at Caves and the train station. Due to this, the new train station for the Version 3 railway overhaul was planned to also be hobbit-themed.

#### Border changes

While performing these changes, ZacNVR noticed that Five Nights at Caves 2 had been excluded from the area as it could not be destroyed by SirAbrahamy. On behalf of the Mainland Plaza City Council, ZacNVR proposed that the border of Oceanview and Mainland Plaza's L.G.A. be extended to encompass Five Nights at Caves 2. SirAbrahamy agreed, so the change was made.

#### Dwarven developments

In October, a dwarven keep was carved into a terraformed mountain. It was constructed with a spiral down to a vault, with various rooms on the way down. During this time, only a workshop was constructed.

#### Hobbiton area

The hobbit-themed area near the train station and Five Nights at Caves was constructed with several hobbit holes and a small amount of farms for decoration. It was built during January of 2023.

#### Crater Pine forest

After the construction of hobbiton, a new kind of custom tree was developed to decorate the crater plains area. They were large pine-style trees with stripped mangrove wood as the logs and had birch leaves. ZacNVR gave these the nickname “Crater Pines” and started replacing the spruce tree border with these trees. Progress was slow on this project and extended many months.

Additionally, the ground in the area was texturised using blocks like grass blocks, podzol, coarse dirt, rooted dirt and granite.

ZacNVR would slowly work on the Crater Pine over the following months. On May 23 2023, ZacNVR used structure blocks to finish the Crater Pine border of the suburb, then finished the rest of the forest on June 29th. On that same day, he renamed Crater Plains to Craterwood with SirAbrahamy's approval.

#### Elven village

In early June of 2023, work began on the elven village project on the top of the hill. ZacNVR and SirAbrahamy built trunks for the large trees they had planned.
