ItsMoose

**ItsMoose** is an active member of Seacraft's community, who has been responsible for a number of Seacraft's major developments. ItsMoose is the founder of locations such as Ripped Earth and Moose Forest. He has also been one of the more active players during Version 3, as he continues work as the mayor of the Moose Forest Council.

## Contributions

### Ripped Earth

ItsMoose first joined the server on the 8th of September 2015, considered the start of the early Shopping Centre Boom. ItsMoose began building a floating island in an area east of Sam's Dragon Village. He originally planned to build a golf course on this island. ItsMoose suggested that a railway connection be built to this new location, which prompted zac5 to ask for a name for the area. ItsMoose soon called it "Ripped Earth".

In the following weeks, he would add a pirate ship below the island, as well as a path to a suburban area built further east. He planned to sell the houses he built there for Reef Crystals.

### Minor builds

Following Ripped Earth, ItsMoose built some additional, smaller builds. He built a lab in the middle of the ocean, inspired by DanTDM's lab. Additionally, he helped LeMello build his own private island lab.

ItsMoose also built the university in New Town. Originally, it was planned to be a redstone university, but quickly expanded to cover other subject areas as well. The university would see some activity, with several players becoming teachers of various subject areas.

ItsMoose also built a giant house in the roofed forest in between Magma Mountains and Freebuild. It was perhaps the most impressive build of its time, not just in scale, but also in terms of detail and building proficiency.

ItsMoose (or rather, his older brother playing on the same account). Also built a small minigame called the "Invisible Maze" in between Spawn and the Shopping Centre. It was a maze where the players could not see the walls. This was achieved by replacing some of the ground with fence posts (to form the walls) and placing carpet over the entire maze floor.

### Shopping Centre

ItsMoose was a witness to the opening of the Shopping Centre on the 16th of October, 2015. He quickly purchased a shop plot from Im\_Uncle\_Eddy and built a head shop. He also made another one of these head shops on the floor above.

He bought some additional plots, one of which he installed a gambling machine. Players would pay 50rc to the machine and have a 50/50 chance of either receiving 100rc in return or receiving nothing.

He also built a banner shop on the Shopping Centre's fourth floor. However, it's unknown if this ever saw any real business.

### The Intersection

During November of 2015, ItsMoose settled an area found a few hundred blocks west of New Town, on the west coast of Island Ocean. He called this new area "The Intersection". A long suspension bridge was built connecting the area to New Town.

zac5 was not pleased with the construction of the Intersection, as he was already introducing new locations on Seacraft for the upcoming Seacraft 2.4 update, and felt a third was unnecessary. ItsMoose would continue the area, however, and eventually zac5 would accept it as part of the update, renaming it to "Moose Forest" and calling the bridge the "Intersection Bridge".

The area would see some development by other players like TheBestOfTheSLUP.

### Museum

ItsMoose began creating a museum on Ocean Road. This museum was planned to hold various Seacraft artefacts from throughout the years and to provide information on Seacraft's history. zac5 contributed some items to the museum, most significantly the ruins of the old Underwater Hotel.

### Seacraft Seas

ItsMoose had planned to build a cruise ship from as early as December 2015. This cruise ship would see slow progress over the course of 2016. Major construction of the cruise ship occurred from November 2016 to January 2017, which ItsMoose made with the help of TheGreatGrey and WubSprite. Farms were also built south of Moose Forest to provide food for the cruise ship.

ItsMoose wrote a newspaper called “Moose Extra Read All About It” in March 2017, which was virtually just an advertisement for Seacraft Seas. ItsMoose distributed these books to player mailboxes serverwide.

### Other Moose Forest developments

ItsMoose also made other developments to Moose Forest during 2016 and early 2017. He built a number of structures including a quarry and a trampoline centre.

At some point, he became the council member for the Moose Forest council, and was joined alongside TheGreatGrey and to a smaller extend by JacobNVR. Together, they built an information centre in Moose Forest, with information about the local area. These three members also built statues of themselves out the front of Moose Forest.

ItsMoose also helped build a river cave filled with strange crystals. This tunnel led to a mining settlement on the otherside, which was also built in part by TheGreatGrey. Further from that, ItsMoose also contributed to a hobbiton-inspired area further north.

ItsMoose built the Moose Forest shopping district, which was released in Seacraft 2.4.7. He would also do a little more work on Seacraft Seas before abandoning the server.

### Version 3

ItsMoose returned to the server in Version 3, contributing to the small boom in Coco Plains. ItsMoose had interest in returning to his mayorship of the Moose Forest Council. Upon hearing this, ZacNVR confirmed ItsMoose's position as mayor.

Construction in Moose Forest didn't really begin until September 2022. ItsMoose built a new version of the Intersection Bridge, connecting New Town and Moose Forest, although its connection all the way to New Town was not complete at the time, later finished by ZacNVR. ItsMoose also rebuilt Moose Forest's City Face, originally building the new Moose Forest train station below. ItsMoose also tore down the information centre, planning to build a newsagency.

ItsMoose then constructed large mountains around Moose Forest using WorldEdit.

In November, he worked on building a Moose Forest library. He first collected every book he could find all over the server, with additional help from jaykobe and ZacNVR. The library was built as an observatory-looking structure.
