The spot where all stories begin - around the coordinates of x:0, z:0. Spawn is often described as a wasteland. Stretching in all directions is destruction, walls of cobblestone from lava falls, lack of trees and grass as it has mostly been taken. Due to the sheer amount of lavacasting and general griefing that occurred, spawn consists of gigantic cobblestone pyramids and walls, with sudden pitfalls that can lead straight to bedrock. A few nether portals link spawn to the Nether Highways. A grid of obby roads in the Overworld also exists, often destroyed and repaired by Spawn Infrastructure Project. SIP also plants nether trees around spawn, kills withers and leave other supplies for Greys. Various Sky Arts are visible above the spawn.

### Early history of spawn

During the history of Purity, spawn has been ravaged by players and factions alike - the most notable being iwarriiori and his gang of gaylords - who took it upon themselves to murder noobs and veterans alike traveling through. When Warrior was confronted by players from Passione though, iwarriiori fled, giving spawn control to the faction. When Passione fell, spawn was once again a place of chaos without order.

Since then, numerous players and factions have been in and around spawn lava casting, fighting, and mapping the area for the sake of doing these things. A player by the name of johnymcmike in 2019 would leave supply caches hidden throughout spawn to help new players out and would guide players out from spawn.

Attempts to seal spawn in an obsidian chamber have occurred numerous times, though usually, the mods ensured that a said wall would not stay up for too long.

At one point someone had managed to dig a 10 by 10 pit at 0,0, prompting all new players to be unable to exit without digging their way out. Players Actzol and minecraftnerd19 would then have their fun with players who freshly spawned in, preventing escape. It was around this time that JPMiner made his return, and escaped with the help of Actzol.

### How big is spawn?

As of January 2023, it seems like players can spawn anywhere inside of a square from -350, -350 to +350, +350. The inner spawn wall, marked with a red line on the render below, surrounds this area at 500 blocks from 0,0. Everything inside the inner wall is basically just a cobble wasteland. The outer spawn wall *(possibly the same thing as Wallhalla - needs to be confirmed)* was supposed to surround the area at 1000 blocks from 0,0, but it was never finished - the existing part is marked with a green line on the render below. Ring of terrain between 500 and 1000 blocks is only partially filled with lavacasts. Further out, lavacasts are much more sparse. Somewhat normal terrain starts around 3k from 0,0, in a region called Greater Spawn, though in orthogonal directions this distance is higher than in diagonal due to existence of Overworld Highways.

### Spawn towns

Groups often construct so-called "spawn towns" - areas meant to be a shelter for greys, where they can gather wood and food. Placing grass blocks in these towns greatly increases chances that a player will spawn in this town. Names of these are usually not very original - Pog Town, Pumpkin town, Meme town, etc. Spawn towns usually get destroyed fairly quickly, as their location is, by definition, public.
