Architecture on the Server

**-Needs to see a huge overhaul ideally, as the wording of the architectural eras leaves much to be desired and is not great way to categorise, although mentions of the historical development are still useful as in the case of the spawn village, it has seen a massive overhaul since this article was last updated and details about those buildings are still interesting for the server. -**

The Server is expansive in its builds and architecture, and it ranges in its styles of architecture as the development expands. Images should be added to overall article.

## Monuments on the Server

The Evil-Dominant Temple of the Church of True Neutral, Built Originally 3/12/21 by Combrade and Dontron and used for a grand sacrificial ceremony later in the same day largely using the Sacrificial Scimitar, involving many wild animals, a Number of Goats and Dontron's Horse alongside human self-sacrifice. Located Directly North of Spawn on a Lone Mountain in the middle of a field.

The Lord's Bridge, Built between 17/12/21 and 18/12/21, spending many hours (likely above 10hrs) gathering materials and building. Built by Combrade. Located on the South side of Spawn Mountain between it and the North side of Combrade's "Lord's Mountain".

## Region - Spawn & Valley Village

The Spawn & Valley Village is (at this time 18/12/21 pretty much only) a highly developed area of the world. The dating of styles is only likely considered in this area rather than just styles by area due to the fact that it is the area immediately surrounding spawn and early builds are much more limited by availability of resources.

### Early / Medieval Period

#### Early Settlement Era prominent circa. 30/11 - 6/12/21

Availability of resources was a very strong factor for styles in this time, though many blocks used early on were actually in low supply e.g. cobblestone caused by the fact that much mining at the time was done near y -60 for diamonds, getting deepslate rather than cobblestone, and also spruce which was not native to the area and in fact was not properly introduced until two expiditions from Combrade in which one brought back a sapling from fairly nearby, before it failing to repopulate, and another from much further away properly introducing the plant to the area and building.

Examples of this style: The Villager Houses, the wooden wall / fence built December 2nd to 5th Built using spruce, cobblestone and oak, By Combrade. Combrade's Original House built of Oak, Tuff and Spruce, Haybale's Tower, built of Cobblestone, stonebrick, oak and spruce.

These were largely built out of wood and stone, though largely spruce from far away rather than the native oak. Mostly built around Early December, though styles could largely be considered to be overlapping at this time and largely stayed similar in nature amongst the most prominent builders. Mostly made of Stone and Wooden Combinations.

It could be considered that this style was revisited and reinvented slightly with the Melon and Wool Farms on spawn Mountain, given that they came at later dates around the dawn of 2022, but made much more use of geographical shapes alongside heavy use of wood alongside the stone.

#### Transistionary Settlement Era prominent circa. 5/12/21 - 10/21/21

Examples: Dontron's First Copper-roof "(Name)" House largely built before 5/12/21, using bricks, birch, copper as a roof & spruce.

Combrade's "Lord's House" built circa. 6/12/21, using stone-types, copper as a roof, heavily inspired by Dontron's House.

The Moss Farm built on Spawn mountain.

These were largely made using Copper as roofs with a Deepslate Chimney, whilst the houses themselves being placed atop of large mountains inside of Meadow Biomes.

#### Late Settlement Era starting circa. 18/12/21, becoming more prominent circa. 30/12/21 to 28/01/22

Builds consisting of extra detailed primarily stone-based builds often using shrubbery to enhance the build.

Examples: The Lord's Bridge across the valley going north from Spawn Mountain or south from Combrade's Mountain, built using large quantities of stone & stonebrick, whilst also being detailed in use of Oak & Azalea Leaves alongside moss.

The Mob Farm (build 30/12/21) on Spawn Mountain could be considered as apart of this style, given that it began the proper development of the style with its extra detail of external column supports, though the style would not truly begin until Mid January with the Designing of the Iron Farm and extensive use of depth to give aesthetic appeal. The Style would go on to be used more extensively outside of Spawn contexts by its originator Combrade with buildings in their separate area (WIP as of 28/01/22)
