Project Zearth Wikia

**!UPDATED, MORE DETAILS & PICTURES IN THE LORE BOOK!**

**Welcome to the Project Zearth Wiki!**

***This site will provide you with enough information about the Project Zearth Lore. (Homepage)***

The first chunks of Project Zearth were rendered by Creator Xoyjaz around September 2010. Even though it was switched project names from "Zeon city" to the "Neon-Cepton project", it still provides you with the same original concept & experience.

Project Zearth has for many years focused on detail & adventure driven content. Classic ideas have been mixed with modern looks to create the best Minecraft experience. As the player, you are given the opportunity to experience a universe filled with creative structures, ideas, locations & lore! A new journey awaits you

## Origins

It’s difficult to estimate exactly what
time and date Project Zearth was created in 2010. In the aftermath of losing
the first map ever created by Xoyjaz, he went on quitting Minecraft for about 2
weeks. Xoyjaz returned back to Minecraft with a plan to avenge his corrupted
survival project. It was hard to ignore the success and growth of Minecraft, especially
in 2010. This was recognized by Xoyjaz and in the attempt to impress himself as
well as others, he designed the very famous “Cryzler Temple”, which is still
present in Zeon City (Plaza district).

Starting off in Minecraft alpha 1.2.2, it
went from an innocent game to become a very addicting one. Friends around
Xoyjaz would always encourage him to make puzzle maps (which was popular among
the friend group). The game never failed to bring a true survival experience,
and the first few months would involve building large temples and structures.
Project Zearth was published on Planetminecraft April 7th,2013. After its release the project started taking a new
creative direction.

## History

### The beginning

In the beginning'*of the new colonized land, a lot of things looked very promising for*
agriculture & house expansion. Duke Nexus who was an activist for the
freedom party, was very popular among the masses. Nexus escaped a conflicted
regime alongside his close friends, the ex-militant Xoyjaz brothers who
preached towards a new liberal regime.

The first
manmade structures used materials out of mountain carvings and mineral mines to
build temples glorifying the gods of the known land. Majority of the population
accepted Notch as the original creator of everything. They created pyramid shaped temples way ahead of its time, shrines & spiral towers
made out from specific materials symbolizing different riches of the new land
settlement.

Construction first began in September 2010
on the Cryzler temple which was deemed as becoming the “center of Zearth”.
Although on the other hand, the Dirt Spiral Tower was the first ever structure
built (Oracle Museum), which architects used to navigate progress on the
temple. As the right hand of the Duke, Nexus had a lot of faith and trust inn
his good friend Xoyjaz 1st to make him his main general. Nexus at
this point had gathered a force of men who would fight under his leadership and
protect the people. Xoyjaz 1st was granted the general title &
his brother Rahib Xoyjaz would take his side as vice general. They were
appointed to bring peace and protection to the new foundation, but Xoyjaz 1st
had other plans to use his powers on expanding territory. With the permission
of the duke, he sat foot to expand the rest of the new settlement and populate
more districts.

### Mob War

About 1 month had passed since the first
settlement, and progress on the Cryzler temple was looking staggering. First
roads (Diamond road) & bridges (Carter bridge) were developed as well as
households in the southern district behind the temple. After Xoyjaz`s journey
to expand the land, the explorers decided to split it up into districts: Plaza,
downtown (North/South), Pedget and Woyls village.

With everything still very much in
progress, the political parties were set to make a big governmental &
economical move to advance the new settlements order. Unfortunately, these
decisions had to be put on hold as a dangerous war was about to break out. Exact
dates of this incident are unknown but early October 2010 the settlement was
attacked by a horde of vandalizing mobs. All districts were under heavy attack
& damaged by the opposition. The threat was to great and it was too
dangerous staying in the districts. This resulted immediately into a combat
response between man and mob. Construction work & agriculture were all left
behind to receive no progress over the next time period. Politicians, woman and
their children were brought to safety and out of the battle zone. People would
hide in underground bases or mountain caverns while the war was undergoing.
Chaos spread quickly as there was no real organization of anything anymore,
people were scared and desperate for someone to take charge and action during
these war times. Their only hope was to pray for the gods which General Xoyjaz
disputed as he never was a firm believer of their unnatural powers. Looking for
Nexus to make a political move, Xoyjaz realized instant action was needed. Late
October 2010 as Nexus had failed bringing the population together for great
retaliation, General Xoyjaz proclaimed himself as emperor and united all the
districts into a city naming it Xoyjaz city. A small group of people disagreed
with his decision to crown himself emperor, so they went against him & his
policies in all secret. These people established themselves as the Cepton
movement. Xoyjaz also claimed to be the only God and claimed the temples as his
domain.

At the end of 2010, the Emperor had
already conquered most of the land owned by the hostile mobs. Many hard battles
were fought to claim land on both sides, but as time passed on the mobs never
seemed to surrender. Meanwhile new land was discovered in the south and a new
town (Yashar Town) was founded. Most of the battles would take place in Xoyjaz
city or in the outskirts, while Yashar town hosted shelter for the civilians
& politicians. The Emperor conquered this new land and made it his empire;
the capital would remain as Xoyjaz city. It was very important for the Emperor
regain back power in this city. Even though Xoyjaz city had the largest
settlements of locations & builds, Yashar town had bigger plans at this
point. Xoyjaz city was much more reminiscent of a war zone at this point,
divided into a land of hostile mobs and emperor warriors battling over
territory.

More people were forced to move out of the
city and establish a new life in Yashar town, where there was better resources
and environmental conditions to live by. People of the Cepton movement did not
believe the new settlement in the south would keep them safe from the war &
couldn’t stand the new Xoyjaz regime, so they parted from the empire and
founded a new settlement further south (This settlement would later go on to
become the Cepton region).

Going into the new year of 2011, Xoyjaz`s
empire was under heavy attack from both hostile mobs and undercover sabotages
from the Ceptonian movement. In order to change people’s attention during these
dark periods, he introduced football as a distraction. The Emperor started many
new building projects, structures like Tower of Milad and Emperor stadium were
all part of this project during that time. Staying away from Xoyjaz city and
letting the army handle the losing war, Emperor Xoyjaz had no other choice then
to take battle into his own hands once again. February of 2011, he launched a
huge offense towards Xoyjaz city coming from the harsh winter conditions of the
south east to support inner city soldiers. As the Emperor left the power
position in Yashar city (formerly known as Yashar town), the new appointed
general Rahib Xoyjaz gained temporary leadership of the empire. In the
long-awaited battling months, no progress was seen to show from Emperor Xoyjaz
and his men. Casualties kept rising and more money was being spent into the
military. People were exhausted and kept starving from harsh conditions of the
war.

During this time Yashar city was starting
to grow into a modern society. Under the leadership of General Rahib Xoyjaz
they had built new households, buildings, banks and much more. Hard battles in
the north forced the Xoyjaz regime down south to Yashar city and at this point
Rahib Xoyjaz actioned to advance his own military tactics with the help of his
very own trusted colonels and warriors (Diamond & Gold). Ceptonians would
also join this fight in favor of Rahib Xoyjaz & protecting their heritage.
Their strongest warrior (Emerald warrior) alongside the rebellious army of
Rahib Xoyjaz crushed almost all resistance.

In august 2011 General Rahib Xoyjaz and
his army had successfully defeated the mobs ending the yearlong mob war once
and for all. The success of Rahib Xoyjaz had been recognized throughout the
province. A long battle fought for peace alongside Ceptonians, the city of
Xoyjaz had finally fallen into the emperor’s hands. After a difficult period,
the Xoyjaz regime fell apart. A new democratic government was established with
the freedom party as the leading power in control. Xoyjaz city was renamed Zeon
city & Yashar city was renamed Premium city. The leader of the freedom
party Nexus had passed away a month before the Mob war (October 2010 – August
2011) ended. With the new government taking charge, Rahib Xoyjaz was elected to
lead the new regime. The region of Neon was established with Zeon as its
capital city. Emperor Xoyjaz was crowned King under the power of the new
government. The monarchy had nothing more than pride to hold onto, everything
was controlled by the democratic Neon government from that day on. The
parliament of Neon was built in Premium city where the government was
established and Xoyjaz (Formerly known as Rahib Xoyjaz) became the first
president of Neon.

### Neon & Cepton post war relationship

As the dust settled down from the intense
war period, a new challenge presented itself to build up the fallen Neon
region. The new thriving government of Neon encouraged all people to take part
of this massive rebuilding process known as the 1st Building
revolution. Meanwhile the Cepton region was founded in the south by a Ceptonian
council. The Ceptonian movement had the resources and time to build a whole new
regime. Their beliefs were based on Notch as the first and only creator, so
they built a huge monument honoring Notch`s greatness.

Neon economy was much more advanced and
way ahead of Cepton. The Neon government prioritized growing their new modern
society and taking advantage of all resources their land had to offer. This new
and powerful Neon started to get worldwide recognition in the world of Zearth.
Their trade deals started increasing and more regions were interested in
starting their businesses in the region. Neon used to provide Cepton everything
they needed to build up their economy and region. This resulted in the “Zeon
treaty”, where Neon government would gain major control over Cepton territory
as part of their agreement. As time progressed you would see more Neonian flags
in Cepton, Neon police and companies expanding their seeds in the region.

The old mob war protection wall between
Neon and Cepton was now transformed into a border between the regions by the
Neon government to regulate traffic as Ceptonian’s tried getting into Neon for
work purposes. As the region of Cepton started growing under Neon supervision,
the government did not approve Ceptonian leadership. Instead the President of
Neon placed King Xoyjaz in power to rule Cepton. The king renamed Notch’s
temple in Jijilocity (Capital of Cepton) to King’s palace in favor of himself.
A large community in Cepton did not like this at all, so they took their frees
speech to the streets of Jijilocity in demonstration. The king ignored the
protestants and it resulted into riots which was met with violent police forces
putting people down.

As a punishment the president of Neon
taxed Ceptonian citizens with higher import charge & property fees. The
whole idea of building a new Cepton faded away as Neon now used Cepton
resources directly to build their own region. A large amount of coal, iron
& gas was imported from Cepton to Neon. Cepton became Neon`s industrial
theme park and the people of Cepton had enough with the ongoing exploitation.
Ceptonians felt suppressed and grew tired of it while Neonian`s would visit to
use their land without paying taxes. This led to poorer Ceptonians that
struggled to keep a share of their own land.

During this time a new political movement was growing fast in the
underground scenes of Jijilocity. Aletta Yami Parks was elected leader of the
Ceptonian republic party who raised the political group into parliament on 1July 2012. Neon`s position in Cepton was weakening and they had lost 95%
of Ceptonian voters in favor of the Republicans. In 2013 the president of Neon
got really sick & died from natural causes. His absence forced the election
of a new president & by 7 April 2013 Gold Xoyjaz was elected as the new
president of Neon. This day would be marked as the presidential election day of
Neon. Gold Xoyjaz was more peacefully negotiable then his predecessor, and for
the much-awaited party voting in Cepton he let the region vote their own party
to rule as government. Neon allowed Cepton to hold their own election, and on 7
March 2013 Aletta Yami Parks of the Ceptonian republic party was elected as
president of the Cepton region. The next day (March 8th) became
Cepton`s Independence Day and a declaration was made between the new Cepton
government and Neon to decrease all Neonian activity in Cepton & take their
resources out of the region, or else Cepton wouldn't allow Neon to use their
land in other contexts. Neon had already undergone major changes in their own
region as population had increased dramatically and they were facing big
economic challenges. Neon was forced to make the deal and focus on themselves
to avoid economic crisis.

### Superpowers of Zearth

Cepton received a lot of praise from their
peers during their independence. The region held a large amount of natural
resources which many companies around the world were interested inn. With
permission from the Cepton government, many companies started investing funds
in the region, giving Cepton`s largest economic growth by the year of 2014. On
the counterpart, Neon would face a huge economic crisis as Cepton would pass
Neon to become a superpower on Zearth. President Gold Xoyjaz started new funds
and risky building investments that took a huge hit on the economy. This
started the 2. Building revolution that took place in Neon. Cities received
major changes in their infrastructure as huge renovations & construction
work took place. Few major corporations could expand their network throughout
the region on the premises of paying more taxes (Prixton company, Blue
corporations, Union bank are some few companies mentioned)

By the year of 2015, few of the
president’s projects were starting to show results and at the time newly
elected President Coppercut was able to make his changes to the unsuccessful
wealth of the region. In his first speech as president, he compared President
Gold Xoyjaz`s biggest achievements to Prixton’s Kloomon, naming it the “worst
deals ever made, ever”.

By the time of summer 2015, both regions
had made headlines again as the tension was compared to the great suppression
of 2012. Cepton was recognized as a leading superpower, while Neon was still on
the rise to restore its glory. Past events between the regions had kept the
tension in a cold period. Most noticeable the declaration of independence of
Cepton and the decision of not removing the border wall between the regions had
kept the regions on their guard. Neonian intel had gathered information about a
5 billion Emerald (Em) deal determined by the Cepton parliament to convict a
military program. The Delta program involved building the regions first
independent army, which stunned the Neonian government to raise questions. The
presidential party suggested their response to the delta, the echo program. The
process for approval had to go through many steps before they could launch
their military program. Neonian government had sworn through the Qualdron order
in 2011 after the mob war, to put all military down and invest in police
forces, walls & light sources to prevent any new mob attack. This had the
Neonian people furious, riots had emerged in both cities of Jijilocity and Zeon
city to protest the rise of any army from both regions. In 2016 the Neon
government agreed to go further with their Echo program, increasing the tension
between the north & the south even more. Major import deals between the
regions fell apart and most recognizable was the Petreville port which shut
down in result of this.

## Gameplay

Project Zearth is an open world map that offers different variation of
gameplay for use. It’s a survival friendly map that is recommended for its
adventure themed playthrough. Alongside the different storylines and objectives
that needs to be completed, it also enables a creative mode experience that let
players experience the scale and engineering behind the project.

### Technical usage

**Transportation**

The most common transport method used are rail systems. Most subway systems are
equipped with an automatic minecart mechanism that pushes the cart by itself
with a manual button press.

Other formats include plane travels and water transport that rely on teleportation
systems with command block usage. There is an airport in each city except for
Glow city and a ferry station besides Zeon and Premium city. The ocean connects
to all cities besides Zeon, this allows for regular boat travels. Everything is
connected by a road, so if you keep following a road then you will eventually
end up somewhere.

**Commands**
A set of different commands have been placed around
the map to increase the satisfaction of exploration. We’ve added elevators,
teleportation systems, particle effects and custom items with commands.

**Signs**
Signs are guiding
tools that help determine your orientation and location on the map.

### Story mode

Several plot lines occur apart from the project reality, to break up the
setting and create a more adventure themed experience. These ongoing plotlines
ties different stories together to create something juicy for the player
experience. Solve the mysteries of the special one or have a closer look on
what Prixton corp. is up to, by connecting the dots. Start off by following the
hints located near the project spawn.

### Objectives

**Color box challenge**

Find all hidden color boxes, spread all around the map. They can be anywhere,
its quite the challenge. There is a total of 50 color boxes hidden around the
map, can you find them all?

**Monster challenge**

There is a great chance you will encounter on monster traps, spread around in
the wild. Your best chance is not to underestimate the challenge and fight off
the evil. Don’t go out looking for trouble, we need you to stay alive.

**Temples**

The map contains several different temples scattered around the map for the
maximum adventure experience. Solve the puzzles and complete the temple for a
special surprise!

**Secrets**

There is a secret in every corner of the map, ready to be discovered! Roam the
lands for hidden messages and easter eggs, can you find them all?

## Standards

Project Zearth uses a set of standards
that are recognizable throughout the map. They act as the base fundamentals and
are intentionally used to make the project appear more coherent. Some few
exceptions are done on purpose, usually involving secrets or a specific location.
The only way to change a standard would involve replacing all the foundations
with new ones, by showing its necessity to the map for approval.

Changing a standard is similar to changing
a law, both are very time consuming and act as the base foundation to
everything. New ideas are therefore regulated to a standard rather than
changing it. These standards have grown stronger over time because the project
never supported them. Even though these standards define the foundation of the
project, doesn’t mean they cannot be changed. It would require a whole lot of
work in order to break these elements apart and rebuilt them. Exceptions are
strongly regulated.

### Architecture

Project Zearth does not stick to one
building style. Different parts of the map have their own unique building
style. The most common style is Brovillian, modern and medieval (less common). A
converted style of Brovillian can be found all over Zeon, Premium and Kloomon
city. This is called the Zeon style, which resembles all the new Brovillian
style in Neon. Modern style is more common in Cepton region and other urban
locations in Neon. The architectural diversity is very noticeable in Project
Zearth. More effort has been made to focus more on size comparisons in v.14. It’s
important that size comparisons make sense to everything taking part on the
projects interactive surface.

Brovillian style has a low usage rate in
the community. It’s a simple style but very effective for detail showcasing. It’s
easy to master and can be applied to any form of building. It’s more of a
filter then an independent style, all Minecraft styles can be converted into
Brovillian. The interior is explained by the Broville circle theory; No matter
what size a circle is shaped in Minecraft, it will always be at its full
potential. You cannot create a circle in Minecraft if you miss a block. When
doing Brovillian interior you never want to leave any space empty, this is true
to how Project Zearth does interior. The interior should always reach its full
potential, just like a circle.

**Tall Brovillian building tutorial**
Here is a layout of Blue Corp. HQ , located in Zeon
city. Start shaping the building layout by setting up the base limits. The empty
spots that are left after setting up the building frames can be filled with
themed decorations (usually some type of garden). Divide the interior by a
minimum of 3 sections:
**1. Main floor**
2. Last floor/roof

3. All the floors in between.

Changing the third requirement allows for
more complex infrastructures. This is where it gets tricky and your buildings
skills come in handy. Your determination and hard work affect the outcome of
your project, practice always makes perfect.

On the pictures you can see how I work my
way up from the lobby to the highest floors with offices, meeting rooms, break
rooms, storages, testing rooms etc. By cutting the building`s edges you give the
structure a more dynamical approach.

**Block usage**

Specific blocks are purposely selected on Project Zearth. Each region has their
own trade deals that contribute to their possession of certain blocks and
minerals. The usage of brick is more common in Neon then Cepton, whereas Cepton
has higher usage of quartz. Blocks used from the Nether or the End are rarely
used as they are harder to obtain.

We avoid complex systems that use unstable
blocks. Structures with a solid base foundation have more priority then designs
that only serves for esthetic purposes. If the usage of blocks creates an illogical
format, then it’s best to be avoided.

### Economy

The currency in Neon region is Gold Nugget
(GN or $ as symbol)
The currency in Cepton region is Emerald (Em or $ as symbol)
The currency in Nova region is Gold Nugget (GN or $ as symbol)
The currency in Santoria region is Gold Nugget (GN or $ as symbol)

**Conversion rates:**
1 Diamond = 2 Emeralds
1 Diamond = 20 Gold Ingots
1 Diamond = 180 Gold Nuggets (GN)

You will find more diamond caves in Neon
than Cepton because of the alpha/beta terrain Neon is rendered in. The Cepton
region was expanded during the Minecraft emerald update, and therefore emeralds
are more common in Cepton than Neon.

### Transportation

Project Zearth uses a variation of
different transportation systems. The usage of vehicles is limited to
minecarts, planes and boats. Cars are rarely seen on the map as they do not
serve any other purpose then for esthetics. You cannot move a car in Minecraft
and therefore we have decided to discard its usage from the map. Cars that
serve an esthetic purpose only in airports, fire station and farms are more
common. Other vehicles may appear for different reasons, most as easter eggs.

**Rail transportation**

Minecarts was the first version of transportation introduced to Project Zearth.
The first railways were constructed from Zeon city state train station to
Premium city old town. Today there are railways connected all over the regions.
As time passed, new subway systems were implemented inside the city districts.
Since then, more advanced systems have appeared like underground speed shuttles
or sky trains.

**Air travel**

Aircraft travelling was introduced in v.13. This allowed the player to travel
to any city that included an airport. First airport was finished in 2011, Zeon
city, where airplane mods were used to travel from place to place. Airplanes
only act inside airports, avoiding creating noise outside its original base.
Planes that are none airborne fall under premises of the “active movement”
standard. Other air traveling vehicles include helicopters, balloons and
elytra.

**Boats**

Creating ocean that connected to each other gave the possibilities of more
interactive boat travels. Boat creations are used for esthetic purposes only
and follow the “active movement” standard.

### Terrain

The first chunks were rendered on
September 2010. This remained as the Alpha terrain that later expanded to
become the beta terrain. For each terrain update, a rift would take place
between new and old rendered chunks. This has forced the project to merge into
new land and open the possibilities for terraforming.

The map stays true to its original terrain
for the most part. We always seek to expand and upgrade parts of the terrain
that looks very bland. The map acts like one continuous piece and therefore
keeps all terrain on the same level. It doesn’t allow unusual activity to take
place and break up the coherency of the terrain. The terrain has been monitored
from a macro scale and formed to create as much sense as possible. This also
interact with climatic illusions to prevent unusual scenarios of unexplanatory
situations. The abbreviations used are B.A.S.L (Blocks above sea level) and bm2
(Blocksmeter, times two).

### Lore

The project lore is one of the most
important key factors in keeping the project as coherent as possible. A statement
should always be true throughout the whole project.

**Time**

The timeline should always match with the lore. Neon and Cepton lore cannot
refer to lore that dates earlier than 2010. Any other date will either have to
be imported from other places outside the known map, guest projects or easter
eggs.

**Language**
English is the official language used to describe the
lore and official statements. Project Zearth uses the symmetrical format for
signs, as following; [\* 1 \* \*], [\* 1 2 \*], [1 2 3 \*] and [1 2 3 4]. This format
is most common for official signs, but there are always exceptions.

**Compass direction**

The old compass located outside Pavilion is the original compass of the map. It
was built in the earlier days of the project; the sunrise and compass
directions have all been changed over time by Minecraft updates. North points
where the compass used to show, the sun always rise in the east and this was
true with the old compass.

The four cardinal directions on Project
Zearth

**Regions**
A Region is the official term of a marked location that is identified as a distinct entity in political geography. In the
real modern world this would be referred to as a country. The term “region” was
used in 2011 when Neon was established. The region did not have anything to
call itself what would be recognized as a “country” in modern terminology. The
region did not act as a modern country and was not planned to become what it was
set out to be. Therefore, in order to make it fair, the term “region” was used instead
of country.

The official regions of Project Zearth:
**Neon** *– The*
region is established, its physically present and advanced.

**Cepton** – *The region is established, its physically present and advanced.*

**Nova** – *The region is established, it lacks physical presence outside of the*
lore.

**Santoria** – *The region is not physically part of the map, only present in the lore*
*and some references on the project.*

**Crepton**– *Removed from the lore, currently no physical presence on the project.*

**Cortex** – *No presence on the project.*

### Technical usage

Regulations have been made to prevent
future technical difficulties that might result in a system failure. This
include the following.

**Command block**

Commands are the basis of any data changing regulation. Previous updates have
made command blocks give out error messages and glitch out. Maintaining a
project that uses command blocks require constant updates. We use simple
commands that are easier and more familiar to update. We try to limit the
command block usage if possible and avoid unfamiliar and unstable commands that
have higher glitch rate and produce complex commands. Exceptions are always
made but regulated.

**Redstone**
Complex redstone systems that don’t have a strong base
foundation are avoided. Only the best crafted redstone systems are used to prevent
future functional breakdowns. The goal is always to create compact redstone
systems and avoid large and unnecessary usage of space.

**Active movement**
The usage of active movement is prohibited from
vehicles, blocks and others. The project acts as an unopened seal that only come
to life once the player start exploring. Things like physical particle effects,
active smoke, active airborne vehicles, active redstone systems and others are
prohibited with a few selective exceptions.
