New Seacraft

**New Seacraft** was a server which ran from the 1st of December 2021 to the 11th of March 2022. It was an attempted renewal of Seacraft and served as the precursor to Seacraft 3.0.

## Premise

The intention of New Seacraft was to do Seacraft over again on a brand new world, creating new buildings and settlements. It was hoped that the world would also develop a long-term history, as Seacraft had done before it.

Unlike the previous version of Seacraft, which was a "community survival" server, New Seacraft's intention was for players to be free to change game mode at will in order to encourage freedom and creativity.

The server was set up with various data packs including the Automatic Announcment System, Player ID, Trigger Commands, and its own version of the Warp Book.

## History

### Conception

In the years following the end of Version 2, people would on occasion request that Seacraft be brought back. ZacNVR, however, was content with Seacraft having ended, especially after his realisation of the pointlessness in developing Seacraft 2.5. He instead considered doing Seacraft over again with a brand new world, hoping to establish a similar kind of world in terms of its diversity and history.

On the 23rd of October 2021, he opened up a Discord server for New Seacraft, with intentions to create the server at the release of the upcoming Minecraft 1.18.

### Test worlds

In leading up to New Seacraft, ZacNVR opened up test worlds in the Minecraft 1.18 snaphots in order to test server performance. He also used this time to develop data packs which he would use on New Seacraft.

### Release

New Seacraft was released with Minecraft 1.18 on the 1st of December 2021. The spawn point was established near a large lake. jaykobe and his friends quickly established Amogusville near Spawn, with a number of builds based on the characters from the game *Among Us*.

### Drakkenheim

Drakkenheim was first established on New Seacraft on the 3rd of December by Sir\_Azza. Over the course of December and January, he and ZacNVR would build various viking-style structures in the area and a half-built castle.

### Other developments

Many different areas appeared around Spawn and Spawn lake, including a beach village called Tiki Town, a hell-themed town called Muspelheim, and a skeleton themed area called Skeletown. There were also other areas further out including a mushroom-themed village named Toadstool.

The server also saw two minigames appear, including Trouble in Terrorist Town and Spleef.

### Shutdown

The server became quickly abandoned in the early half of 2022, and eventually ZacNVR decided to stop running it. The server ran until the 11th of March 2022.

### Moving to Seacraft 3.0

Some of New Seacraft's features were migrated onto Seacraft at the release of Seacraft 3.0. Many of New Seacraft's data packs made their way onto the server, including Trigger Commands, Player ID and the Automatic Announcement System. The Spleef and Warp Book data packs were also modified for use on Seacraft.

ZacNVR put out a request for anyone who wanted to migrate any builds from New Seacraft. SirAbrahamy requested that Drakkenheim be moved onto the Seacraft world, so Drakkenheim and its surrounding area were placed a few hundred blocks south of Spawn.
