Moose Forest

**Moose Forest** is a suburb founded by ItsMoose. It can be reached from going across the Intersection Bridge at the end of New Town. Moose Forest is one of the three residential areas that were released during Seacraft 2.4, the others being Stagnant Swamps and Crater Village.

## Features

### City Face

At the entrance of Moose Forest from the New Intersection Bridge, there is a sandstone platform called City Face upon a terraformed island. This platform has the road of Poppy Pathway leading out from each side. City Face also has a planning board with all the current plans for the area. Additionally, there is a small built just behind the area, meant to provide information about Moose Forest, though this is not yet complete.

### Train station

Moose Forest has its own train station underneath City Face, which has two platforms. These platforms will connect to the Ocean Line.

### Mountain range

A large man-made mountain range surrounds the area of Moose Forest.

### Moose Forest National Park

At the base of the mountain range lies Moose Forest National Park, filled with custom trees.

### Library

The Moose Forest library features a small campus with a number of buildings. In the centre is the main library itself, built as an observatory style building. Its basement level stores a large collection of books found throughout the server.

## History

### Original generation

Moose Forest was originally generated sometime between late Beta and the Expansion Period. This is known since it features chunks generated after the update to Minecraft 1.7 but before the world seed change in Seacraft 2.0. It is unknown who originally came to this area, since nothing was built there.

Interestingly, some player also returned to the area and generated some further chunks after the seed change but before the update to Minecraft 1.8. This trail of chunks heads towards Coco Plains. These areas still remained undeveloped at this time.

### The Intersection

Moose Forest was never originally meant to come out in Seacraft 2.4. ItsMoose had found the location sometime during the main Shopping Centre Boom and called it "The Intersection", building a long suspension bridge to the location. zac5 originally wanted nothing to do with this location and wanted to discuss its removal with ItsMoose. Before zac5 was able to do this, ItsMoose continued to push foward with the construction of the location and even had made an Auto-Announcer message about it. zac5 knew he couldn't just remove it, so he told ItsMoose that the location would be named "Moose Forest" instead of "The Intersection" and the name "The Intersection" would be recycled to name the bridge.

### Timberlands Period

Much of the suburb was developed by players such as ItsMoose, TheGreatGrey and JacobNVR during 2016 and 2017. These three acted as council members of the Moose Forest Council, possibly with ItsMoose as the mayor. Statues were constructed for these members in the ocean beside the Intersection Bridge.

One of ItsMoose's most substantial contributions to the area was building a giant cruise ship for a company called "Seacraft Seas". Seacraft Seas was sponsored or perhaps came under LeMello's "Emerald Enterpises", a name which featured itself prominently across the side of the cruise ship. Its opening was scheduled for July 3, 2017, but by that time ItsMoose and the other players had lost interest in Seacraft.

### Version 3 overhaul

After the advent of Seacraft 3.0 and Version 3, ItsMoose claimed mayorship of the Moose Forest Council. While this claim was made early on, he didn't begin major development to the area until September 2022. He began by changing the main entry area, City Face, into a sandstone platform as opposed to a more prismarine one. He also redesigned and rebuilt the Intersection Bridge. Some old buildings were also torn down.

In October, ItsMoose began the ambitious task of surrounding the suburb with a mountain range. He also established Moose Forest National Park at the foot of the mountains, past the former shopping district.

In November, ItsMoose focussed on building a library for Moose Forest, made to look like an observatory. He built the structure an thoroughly detailed the inside. For this library, ItsMoose gathered every book he could find on the server, hoping to make them available in the library.

ItsMoose left the server for some time, leaving Moose Forest dormant. He wouldn't return until October 2023, continuing his work on the library. It was finished on the 16th of October, 2023.
