Monkecraft SMP

The Monkecraft server is a private Minecraft server, hosted by Inatordias. The name is generally used to describe the group.

## Seasons

Each "season" on the server refers to a different world on the server. There are some special season and some normal ones.

### Actual Seasons

#### Season "Zero"

This season is counted as "Zero" because it took place before Season One, but hasn't had any videos made of it. This season was very simple, and fairly early-game.

##### End

Because a whitelist wasn't enabled in Season Zero, a griefer joined the world when nobody was on and destroyed the server and people's bases.

#### Season One

This season marked the pattern of jungle biome spawns. Spawn was a jungle biome, which would later be burned down and cleared out. The minecraft version was 1.16. This season is considered by some the most successful season to date, due to its infrastructure and particularly the shopping district.

#### Season Two

Following Special Season Two, the server was restarted on a 1.17 amplified world. Zeter was against restarting for an incomplete update, wanting to stay on Season 1 until 1.18 would release. The season was quite short, and inactive.

#### Season Three

When the 1.18 version was released, the server restarted, in hopes of bringing people to be more active. However, the active playerbase died down just as fast in Season 2. Zeter, however, still played and was very active, working on creating a perimeter. This season, Zeter also attempted to make a complex nether tunnel network, but was just confusing to other players.

#### Season Four

Despite Zeter's pleas to not restart, the rest of the Monkecraft group decided to restart the server for the 1.19 update. The seed placed everyone in a desolate badlands biome. Most players traveled to a nearby lake, dubbing it "Lucas Lake," a homage to Ness Town. Zeter and other players looked for nearby biomes that had green grass, and life. Zeter found a nearby Jungle biome.

##### The Wendiboat

Inatordias had the idea to collect raw gold, which Zeter in Season Three wanted to use as currency. Inatordias started a fund to collect them, in hopes to create the "Wendiboat," a giant golden boat with a replica of Wendibo's head riding it. Although it was never built, 2 large chests of raw gold were eventually gathered.

### Experimental and Special Seasons

These seasons were usually shorter than actual seasons, and were generally made to experiment for full season features.

#### Anarchy Experiment

The idea for this server was to see what it would be like with no rules, because of debate over them.

The world spawn was on an island in the middle of the ocean. Zeter had looked for seeds like this, and he told Inatordias the seed. However, Zeter would exploit knowing the seed to find the stronghold and a village right at the beginning of the server.

After multiple struggles to live near each other, several members fled to go as far as possible from spawn. MTGZone and Kolbian would instead play the way an anarchy server is supposed to be played: looting, griefing, and killing other players. Kolbian would later use hacks and exploits, which other players deemed unfair and caused an end to the season.

#### Special Season One

Following the Anarchy experiment, Madrocketman proposed the idea of having a server on an amplified world, with normal server rules and etiquette. The server's options did not actually make the world amplified, but people still played regardless.

Most players lived near each other in a community, and wanted to fight the dragon together. However, the stronghold had been found and people were impatient. Zeter jokingly said he would go to the end, bridge out hundreds of blocks, and get an elytra, putting it in an ender chest and dying to get it without beating the dragon. Madrocketman followed through with this, angering server members and creating a swift end to the server.

#### Special Season Two

Because of the inactivity in Season Three, Zeter proposed the idea of having a world border, forcing players to live near each other and thus interact more, fostering activity. However, since progression was important, the border would slowly expand, allowing players to get to the stronghold after a few weeks. The spawn seed resulted in yet again a jungle biome spawn. Players did not enjoy this, and would all move to a nearby plains biome, forming Ness Town.

##### Ness Town

Because of growing interest in Super Smash Bros. among the group, Inatordias, who prefers to play Ness, declared the area to be called "Ness Town." McKoi, who originally had settled there first, wanted to call it "Newer Jersey" but no other residents liked the name and kicked him out of the village. The village would later attract other players, including new players like Wendibo, to the village.
