Version 1

*The Forgotten Period*Please note that the following content may contain assumptions as some of the information has been lost or forgotten.
**Version 1** was once one of the most forgotten periods in Seacraft's history.

Seacraft Version 1 features three main time periods, namely the Gamma Period, the Expansion Period and the Downtime Period, with most notable events occurring in the former two periods.

## Gamma Period

Version 1 likely began on the 26th of November, 2013. Players were switched to survival mode and were given 50 Gems, a newly released currency. These Gems were simply renamed emeralds, which had the added benefit of being able to trade them with villagers. Many players were unhappy with the change to survival, but the owners did little to ease this restriction.

The end of November saw continued construction of the Temple Maze minigame, which was a minigame where players would search the maze for loot in order to kill the other players. The temple itself was being constructed near the road from Spawn to Mainland Plaza, around the modern-day location of the Shopping Centre.

At the beginning of December, the Celebration Area was constructed in anticipation for Christmas and New Year. A firework show was planned to take place at the Celebration Area on New Year's Eve, so dispensers were installed in the back of the building, being filled up with fireworks over the course of the month.

A number of griefing incidents also occurred during December. One of which involved the destruction of samdogboy2's statue of himself at modern-day Stagnant Swamps. The server was whitelisted for a time during December in an attempt to protect the server.

Despite these incidents, the firework show went ahead as planned on New Year's Eve, attended by zac5, jacobme32 and Oliveriseating.

At the beginning of January, aa11ron joined zac5 and jacobme32 for the construction of the Zoo. They found a flat area at Mainland to construct the Zoo, but still had to blow up a hill to make more room. They also made animal houses for each other at the Plaza. aa11ron's house was a wolf, jacobme32's house was a cat, and zac5's house was a pig.

By the end of the Gamma period, Sam's Dragon Village was in ruins after being griefed.

## Expansion Period

The Expansion Period began in February of 2014 with the repair of Sam's Dragon Village.

A large part of the Expansion Period featured the expansion of Seacraft's civilisation, establishing the Seacraft Castle, Freebuild and the Bombing Mines. In order to accommodate this expansion (and to allow players to get to these locations) the Warp Room was expanded, even adding a second Warp Room. The Railway Network was also built during this period for similar reasons.

At some point, the Trade Centre became the Seacraft Centre. When it was first established, it only had a "What's New?" section which showcased new features of Seacraft.

During March, the server suffered the Griefing of Mainland Plaza, the largest grief to have occurred on Seacraft. Due to the extent of the damage, the repair of the Plaza made it far bigger than it was previously.

## Downtime Period

During April and May of 2014, the server was updated to Minecraft 1.7.8 (from 1.7.2), but no players were able to join the server. This may have been caused by a bad file structure of the server that prevented it from loading properly. Whatever the case, the server lay dormant for some time, before it was eventually revived towards the end of May, and Seacraft 2.0 was established.
