Puddle Plains

**Puddle Plains** is the suburb that contains the Seacraft Castle. It is also a lesser-known residential area. The area is named after its many small ponds that litter the area which look like puddles when viewed from above.

## Facilities

### Transportation

Puddle Plains is home to the Seacraft Castle Train Station. This station has four platforms which connect the the South-Eastern and South-Western lines.

### Mining

The area has a small mine which was made within a month before the release of 2.4 (i.e. December 2016).

### Farming

Puddle Plains also has a farm that was built into two adjacent craters. This farm grows potatoes, carrots, pumpkins and melons. This was release by the Castle Council in January 2017.

## Attractions

### Seacraft Castle

*Main Article: Seacraft Castle*
The Seacraft Castle is more well-known than Puddle Plains itself. The Castle lies on the edge of the suburb near the roofed forest area. The Castle has been given the title of Seacraft's largest cobblestone structure.

### Puddle Plaza

*Main Article: Puddle Plaza*
The Puddle Plaza is a large quartz shopping centre found west of the castle. It is completely void of any shops except a *Business Co,* due to its release in Seacraft 2.4.2 being one of the most inactive periods of Seacraft's history.

## History

*The Forgotten Period*Please note that the following content may contain assumptions as some of the information has been lost or forgotten.
### Construction of Seacraft Castle

The Puddle Plains area was first settled when construction of the Seacraft Castle began during Seacraft Beta. zac5 and josh20202, who had followed the river from Sam's Dragon Village and found a flat plains biome, an area deemed suitable for the construction of the Castle.

The Castle's construction continued into Seacraft Version 1, when the exterior was eventually finished. The creation of the Railway Network during the Expansion Period saw the Castle get its own train station, connecting to Sam's Dragon Village and Freebuild. josh20202 also began building a second castle behind the main castle, as he wanted to build a Capture the Flag minigame with the two castles as home bases. This idea was never picked up by anyone else, and this second castle became abandoned.

### Other developments

Version 1 also saw a structure built further into the plains. It was likely built of stone bricks and had a number of levels. At some point this structure was destroyed by griefers. It is likely that the owner of this structure also spawned in a number of sheep and named them "jeb\_", giving them a rainbow coat of wool. These sheep roamed the area for a number of months.

   Not much development occurred in the area during early Version 2. After the release of *How To Train Your Dragon 2*, samdogboy2 had become inspired to build a bewildebeast from the movie, beginning his constuction next to the castle

At one point, infamous griefers asasinateddoctor and TobesP built a house near the castle. This stood for a while, but at some point zac5 got annoyed with them, taking it out on the house. The house was burnt down, and parts that couldn't burn were destroyed. Only parts of the underground structure remained.

### Suburb Release

Puddle Plains was officially released as a suburb as part of Seacraft 2.3. Around the time of this update saw a bridge constructed from Magma Mountains to Puddle Plains, finally allowing the area to be accessible by foot. Seacraft 2.3 also saw the expansion of the Castle's train station to accommodate the overhauled Railway Network. The station connected to the South-Western line and then the South-Eastern line in Seacraft 2.3.5. This upgrade gave the station a direct connection to the newly released Racehorse Stadium.

### Later developments

Over time, a number of craters had littered the land, including the ruins of the griefers' house, so zac5 covered some of these craters up including these ruins.

At some point, Sir\_Azza had a desire to build a holiday home for himself. zac5 recommended Puddle Plains, as it was completely unpopulated. Sir\_Azza decided to build the house in the small forest that lay in the middle of the plains.

### Mayor of the Castle Council

When councils and council members were added, zac5 took up the responsibility of most areas as a placeholder for a future mayor. Thus, zac5 was the default mayor of the Castle Council.

zac5 wanted to continue expanding the area, adding a few houses next to the Castle. He also took advantage of some large jungle and spruce trees planted around the back of the castle and made a treetop village.

zac5 also dug up the ruins of the griefers' house, making an attraction out of it called the Griefer Ruins.

zac5 fashioned some of the remaining craters into a farm, in order to encourage survival liveability there in preparation for Seacraft 2.4.

### Puddle Plaza

During 2016, the server had lost the popularity it had in the previous year. zac5 recalled that the server was most active during the era of the Shopping Centre, so he wanted to build a second shopping centre in an attempt to grow the server again. He decided to build the shopping centre in Puddle Plains to inspire development around the area.

The Puddle Plaza was released in Seacraft 2.4.2, but saw no development. The small remaining community was currently based around Moose Forest, and had no interest in building new shops at the Puddle Plaza.

## Trivia

* 8 sheep named "jeb\_" still exist in the area from the incidents during the Expansion Period
