### Successor

Unknown

play.lewisgill.com is a Minecraft server setup following the 1.19 update.

The server entered a closed testing phase on the 19th of July 2022 with only some specific Nahari allowed to play and received an upgraded performance on the 20th of July prior to the public launch.

On the 29th of July the server officially went public allowing all Nahari and even some Mixed Brekkies to join the server.

The server remains whitelisted as of 10/08/2022 although Kennedy has announced his intention to remove this at an unspecified time in the future.

## Key Builds

### Spawn

Spawn was the first area constructed on the server and is located a few hundred blocks from 0, 0. It is situated on two islands connected by a bridge. On the first island there are three boards listing, in order of left to right, a to-do list (mainly in relation to technical changes for Kennedy to apply), the rules list, and a news board as well as a list of know bugs with the server. Throughout the first island there is multiple large map arts of Kennedy as shown in the video below, this island is connected to the mainly via a bridge. On the second island there is a tree and board on which donators will be listed (if any arrive).

## Transportation

### Nether Highway

The server features an extensive nether highway system, it is by far the most common method for traveling distances over 1000 blocks. It is primarily maintained by Jash Darbinshroodle however with occasional auxiliary support from both Gru Porkins and TimKennedy, with the later being the sole maintainer of the Kennedy line. As of 18/12/2022 the Kennedy line is the most well developed.

### **Railway**

The server features a moderate sized rail network, entirely constructed by TimKennedy for the purpose of facilitating the transport of goods and people throughout the Kennedy Estate. I currently runs from Killimanichi Village to Last Respite Village covering a total distance of around 5000 block from West to East. The railway is planned to eventually run from Eighgarg to Spawn and from New Portsmouth to Gary Gherkins base.

**Roads**

Most roads on the server simply connect small settlements no more than a couple hundred blocks apart. The Kennedy Estate has the largest paved road network with a 2000 block road from New Portsmouth to Eighgarg.

There has been some suggestions that an overground road network be made to connect major settlements, however, due to their slow nature, lack of demand and uncompetitive nature in comparison to the nether highway and rail, not concrete plans have been enacted.

## Technical Information

From launch the actual Minecraft server is hosted via cloud IaaS provider, Ionos Hosting. The server was originally intended to run Manjaro Linux however due to Ionos providing a broken image and Ionos support being unable to fix the issue in time for launch, AlmaLinux was chosen instead with the primary decision factors other than the prior being it's low overhead, stability and interoperability with Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
