Lanayru

Lanayru is a town built to function as a shopping district for the server. Many members contributed to the founding of Lanayru, and many shops and other buildings have been added by those various members.

Currently, Lanayru serves mainly as a shopping hub and thus has no inhabitants. However, it is occasionally used as a meeting spot.

## History

Lanayru was founded and designed by MysticLue and PinkParrotz, but many others have contributed to its growth and economy. Lue did much of the designing for the walls and decoration, and Pink supplied the town its name, though Lue claims she named it.

The town was used as a hideout and battlefield during the Battle of Bertha. No damage came to the town, but several key moments in the conflict occurred within its walls.

Following the rise of the Sculk Empire, Lanayru was attacked by Kayshoe. Sculk was spread in several locations throughout the village, causing Lue to become very upset and distressed. Following the incident, Shlook began training Lue in combat.

The Sacred Garden is located not too far outside of the town, and after the incident in the garden, sculk began spreading rapidly and wildly from the garden toward Lanayru.

## Shops

### Sculk Shop

The Sculk shop is a shop built, founded, and owned by Kayshoe. It is located on the right of the path that runs north from the fountain. The shop is themed around her love for the Sculk Empire and was created shortly after she was under its control.

Around the Sculk Shop, the path in Lanayru turns from stone-based materials to soul sand, deepslate, and sculk, and the trees and plants around it are dead or withered. This indicates the corruptive power of the sculk.

Its interior is dark and dreary, sporting a palette of mostly deepslate and soul sand. Soul fire, soul lanterns, and soul torches light up the store. Upon entering, customers will hear a shrieker go off near the entrance. Chests with the shop's stock are on the left wall from the entrance, while the back wall hosts a counter for making offers to Kayshoe directly for special items. On the right side is a waystone to access the skeleton farm beneath the shop.

The shop sells sculk-related items, items found in ancient cities, enchanted books, waystones, and warp scrolls. It also serves as the access point for a skeleton mob farm, which can be used for a fee paid in the shop.

### Pink's Café

Pink's café is a coffee shop run by Pink, with Lue helping as an employee. The shop sells various drinks and pastries brewed and baked by Pink herself. It is located just to the right of the entrance of Lanayru.

The building is pink with beige accents, and it is two floors tall. There is seating on both floors as well as on an outdoor patio area. Above the top floor is an employees-only attic that keeps extra stock, which has also been used for a private conversation spot for Pink and her allies, such as during The Battle of Bertha. All of the floors are connected with pink ladders.

In addition to seating, on each floor is a kitchen area, consisting of a stove, refrigerator, cutting board, crafting table, sink, cabinet storage, and a marble counter for taking orders. The menu displays on the wall beside the kitchen area, and some extra cooking supplies are stored behind it.

The building is lit both on the outside and inside with pink and white flower shaped fairy lights. Pink seating also decorates much of the first floor, while wooden furniture is used on the second floor and outside. A staircase outside leads to the second floor, while a door inside the patio area leads to the first.

The main drinks at the café include coffee, pumpkin spice latte, hot cocoa, and tea. Fruit, vegetables, milk, and pastries are also offered.

### Kaede Grocery

Kaede Grocery is owned and maintained by Jade. Its aesthetic and architectural style is largely based on Chinese culture, hence the name, which is also written in Chinese on the sign outside the building. Its entrance is along the path that runs south from the fountain.

The grocery store is made of maroon-colored blossom planks and orange-colored blossom leaves. Red hanging lantern fairy lights light up the building both on the exterior and the interior. Rows and rows of groceries can be found inside, each stocked in a barrel and labeled with an item frame. A chest for payment sits next to the front entrance. Birch ladders provide access to each floor, and blossom logs make up the outer edge of each upper floor.

It boasts a huge stock of meat, produce, and spices across three floors. Every crop in the game is offered there for varying prices depending on its rarity. In addition to the crops, Kaede Grocery also offers jam, eggs, meat, fish, and several drinks like tea and coffee. Various alcoholic drinks are occasionally offered, but their stock is much more limited.

### Nether Shop

The Nether Shop is owned by Shlook. It is inspired by their past in the Nether realm and sells items from there. It lies just past the fountain in Lanayru, right at the west end of the bridge.
The building itself is made of mostly crimson wood, like Shlook's hut, due to them having come from a crimson forest. The windows are filled in with golden bars, and blackstone bricks line the edges of the build. Plants that can be found in the Nether, such as brambles and burning blossoms, decorate the exterior and windows. The roof is on a slope, and a chimney connected to a fireplace inside adorns it.

Netherrack makes up the ground around the shop instead of grass, though this was simply a design choice by Shlook rather than a corruption like the Sculk Shop.

Inside, crimson chests hold the stock of the store. Each corresponds to a sign that states the price of the item contained within. On the back wall is a counter for conducting randomized piglin barter trades with Shlook themself.

Unlike other shops, Shlook's shop lists its prices in both diamond and gold, with equal worth sometimes being put on the two minerals due to Shlook's (and piglins' in general) love for gold. The shop sells netherite ingots, the soul speed enchantment, enderpearls, crimson and warped forest items, shroomlights, nether plants, and authentic nether food such as stuffed hoglin and nether skewers.

### Lue's Ore Shop

The Ore Shop is owned by Lue, and it is located in the front of Lanayru, across from the Sculk Shop. It sells various ores and minerals.

The shop's exterior is made of redwood planks and logs and resembles a house. The roof is made of oak wood, and framed glass makes up the windows. A double door opens into the main shop floor, which is made of calcite bricks.

The interior of the Ore Shop consists of several aisles of barrels containing the minerals for sale. A jungle ladder in the back of the shop leads up to an attic which contains more stock. On the right side from the entrance, there is a back room full of materials that were used in the shop's construction. White fairy lights light up the main floor of the shop, and lanterns light up the attic.

The ores and minerals sold by the shop include gold, copper, lapis lazuli, coal, flint, iron, emerald, redstone, quartz, calcite, and amethyst. In addition to these minerals, the shop also sells clay, glowing moss, lanterns, and keys.

### Flower Shop

The flower shop was created by Pink. It is located next to the pond in Lanayru, on the south side of the bridge. It sells various types of flowers and plants.

The building is small, resembling a shack. It is made of calcite walls and a roof of pink and white wool surrounded by wooden stairs. Flower boxes and flower pots decorate the windows, and hanging leaves and vines adorn an overhang on the side of the shack. Under the overhang, there is a spot to sit next to a window into the shop.

On the inside of the shop, there are many barrels of flowers and plants for sale. Each barrel is labeled with an item shelf. A beehive sits in one corner, and glow berries and lanterns light it up. A chest is included in the shop for customers to leave their payment.

The shop sells many different types of flowers, as well as cactus, drip leaves, cattails, and a few types of crops. The shop's stock is roughly organized by color.

On July 14, 2023, when trying to blow up the remains of the TNT building, Pink accidentally crashed a plane into the shop. She and Shlook fixed the majority of the damage shortly after.

## Homes

### DeGhosto

Ghost is a member of the Willow SMP, though they are not canon to the lore of the server. Typically, the only sign of them is their house in Lanayru.

Their home is located just east of the bridge, right across from the Doofenshmirtz Tower.

### Madam Lana

Two homes were built for the first Building Challenge involving Madam Lana. Both homes consist of the same block panel and are situated east of the bridge in Lanayru.

The houses were built by Kayshoe and Pink, with Kayshoe having won the challenge via votes on TikTok. As such, Kayshoe's house will be used as Madam Lana's home.

It is unclear what use will come of Pink's second place entry, but the building remains in the town, uninhabited.

## Other Buildings

### Pink's Greenhouse

The greenhouse is a not-for profit, community-accessible building owned by Pink. Within the greenhouse, various types of crops are grown for anyone to take.
The greenhouse does not include every crop, but it does have many, mainly focused on those added by the Croptopia mod. Each crop in the greenhouse is marked with a hanging sign and given a 2x5 block plot of farmland to grow.

The outside of the greenhouse is made up of white cherry blossom leaves and white framed glass. Parts of the roof are also made from amethyst and white stained glass. Inside, amethyst decorates the path, and glowberries hang from the ceiling to light it at night.

In addition to the ground crops within the greenhouse, the building is also surrounded by various trees that bear certain fruits and nuts that are added by the Croptopia mod.

### Stark's TNT Trap

The TNT trap was built by Stark. The original plan was for it to be a TNT shop, but its only purpose ended up being to prank other members of the server. It was located in the back of the village, just at the east side of the bridge.

The building resembled a block of TNT, made from red terracotta, red wool, and quartz. The inside contained nothing but a hole down to bedrock. A layer of lava was toward the bottom of the hole, but the true bottom was made of a layer of water which extinguished the player who had fallen in. There was also a waystone at the bottom to teleport back to the surface. Stark described the trap as a quick moment of panic that would ultimately be harmless.

Bertha the Bounty Hunter notably fell down the hole in the TNT trap, and she was presumed dead until Stark explained the gag. Shlook and Pink blamed the trap for the escalation of the battle that followed.

Many others complained about the TNT trap, claiming that it was an eyesore compared to the rest of the village and threatening to remove it. Despite the complaints and threats, the building remained for several months until it was ultimately destroyed on July 14, 2023.

The building was mostly blown up by Shlook, after being motivated by a comment from Lue and dared by the Thoughts. Stark finished demolishing the building and replaced it with the Doofenshmirtz Tower. The trap beneath the building still remains, though it is completely covered.

### Doofenshmirtz Tower

This tower was constructed by Stark after the destruction of the TNT building. Its purpose is currently unknown.

It is located in the back area of Lanayru, just east of the bridge. Nothing is currently inside of it, other than a floor with a heart carved into it.

Stark, disappointed with himself, commented after completing construction on the tower that after all his hard work, it just ended up looking like an Among Us character.

After Em appeared beneath the Weeping Willow, she temporarily moved into the tower before building a place of her own.

## Communal Areas

### Bee Farm

The bee farm is a mostly decorative farm located just east of the bridge in Lanayru. It houses six beehives, all mounted on jacaranda trees.

Though the honey and wax produced by the bees is technically available to all, it is most likely that no bees have actually inhabited the hives at the bee farm for quite some time, due to the free-range nature of the farm and the chaotic happenings of Lanayru.

### Wedding Venue

The wedding venue is an area built specifically for Jade and Lue's Wedding. It has remained as a reminder of the day and as a venue for hosting possible future weddings. It is located toward the back of Lanayru, just west of the Greenhouse.

The wedding area features an arch with an altar underneath it for the ceremony, a couch behind the altar, and a seating area to watch. The reception area of the venue includes purpur counters, a mahogany table, seating, and a light-up dance floor. The entire area is well-decorated with trees, flowers, lanterns, and gemstones like amethyst.

Now serving no use, the location is sentimental and is open for future wedding or just as a park of sorts. It is clear that the area remains special to Lue, since she became very upset upon seeing it covered in Kayshoe's sculk. The area was quickly cleaned and restored to its original condition by Pink and Shlook due to her sadness.
