Spawn Structures

## Description

Spawn structures are admin built structures inside spawn, which is a central starting area in the world map. Some contain hidden mechanisms, admin items, copies of famous books, and other valuable or semi-valuable items.

## List of Spawn Structures (Taiga Map) =

### The Infernal Trials

The Infernal Trials is a parkour course of medium to hard difficulty. It is accessed by jumping into the lava in the volcano at spawn. There are four portions, and the bottom is submerged in lava. Elytra flight is disabled, and ender pearls do not work (just like the rest of spawn). However, potions can be used to more easily complete the parkour, although even someone moderately good at parkour should be able to easily complete the first three parts of the course. Arguably the most difficult part of the course is in part 4 where the player has to jump from a ladder around a block onto another ladder.

#### Rewards

When the Infernal Trials are completed, the completer gets a set of flint and steel named "Infernal Tools" with special "Infernal Trials" loretext and enchanted with Fire Aspect I, Unbreaking III, and Mending. In addition, you get blaze rods and gunpowder [confirmation needed]. Finally, behind the painting at the end of the course is a secret passage (you have to crouch to access it) that leads to a pressure plate which gives an item the "Graceful" loretext. The loretext can only be redeemed for one item per player that completes the course and items with the "Graceful" loretext are often considered valuable.

#### Other Notes

Once you finish part 2 and enter part 3, you can bypass part 3 and go straight to part 4. Going to the gap in the wall between the two sections, with nothing in your hand, you can right-click the slab to "sit" on the block, and then "unsit" to walk through into part 4.

### The Cavern of the Elements

The Cavern of the Elements is a huge cave under spawn, most likely created using worldedit. It contains three riddles, which, once solved, give players access to a reward room. The Cavern can be accessed either by going to `/heads` or by taking the passages downward from a tunnel on top of a mountain in spawn. Once you reach the cave there, you can find a three block wide waterfall on the left, then climbing the staircase to the top . To the right of a 1 wide by 2 high hole is a two block high wall with a button on top of it. If pressed, it will move the blocks in the wall, opening access to a hallway leading down to the Cavern.

#### Rewards

Once solved, the Caverns bestow the player a random magma cream named either "Element of Air", "Element of Fire", or "Element of Earth" (there is no "Element of Water" at this time due to temple design) with the "Cavern of the Elements" loretext.

The player will also receive "Elemental Brew", a stylized potion with several positive effects.

#### Other Notes

The first two riddles can be found easily, and the third riddle is on the right side of the staircase leading to the altar (when facing towards the stairs from the entrance to the Cavern). The answers for the riddles are coarse dirt, feathers, and blaze powder.

### The Throne

The Throne is a hallway leading into a large-scale dining room with multiple chairs and a large table. At the head of the table is a throne facing a chest. It can be found by going to `/spawn` and then turning right towards the ruined towers. Going to the ruined towers, you will find a birch trapdoor in the ground by looking around. Going in will lead through a cave to the Throne.

#### Rewards

By opening the chest, you will receive a gold helmet named "The Duke's Crown" with Aztec Gold color and "The Throne" loretext. It can be enchanted without affecting the name color and loretext. In addition, you will receive a gold sword and a special emerald chosen out of five possible items, together known as Knights' Emblems, all with "The Throne" loretext.

#### Other Notes

The Throne is the only spawn structure that offers a prize but does not have an obstacle.

### The Library

The Library does not contain any rewards but is instead a large cylinder-shaped hole accessed through a complicated series of steps: by going to `/warp arena` and then turning back and going through the pit back to the surface, you will be at a ruins overlooking a river. Instead of going back to the arena, you should go down a polished diorite staircase down until you reach a statue with lots of chests on the walls (on the way you will find a well leading to the void with barrier blocks at the bottom). By going in front of the statue and looking to the right, and opening the chest second from the left side on the bottom, you will activate pistons opening a trapdoor in the floor, dropping you into the entrance of the Library. It contains multiple famous and lesser-known books, including one written by hhrcorn and multiple other volumes written by prominent players and staff. Other than that, there is no reason to go to the Library.

### Grnwd's Twisted Temple

The Temple is found by going to `/warp arena` and looking around, and can be accessed by opening an item frame combination lock with 4096 possible combinations. It is recommended that you enter without any gear, as it will not be needed. Going through will send you into a confusing matrix of similar looking rooms with pressure plates and teleporting command blocks. By going on the correct combination of blocks, you will eventually be sent to a prize room.

#### Rewards

After you finish the puzzle, you will get a gold ingot and a special command-only shield with a banner called "Shield of El Cid", which is enchanted with Mending II and Unbreaking III.

#### Other Notes

The Temple used to reward a perfect diamond rather than a gold ingot before being shut down, but certain players abused it with alt generators to get infinite perfect diamonds. Afterwards, when an error was found in the command blocks, it was shut down, and the prizes were eventually changed.
