Jade's Castle was built as a result of the newcomers in the Willow SMP. Originally, Jade lived in a smaller home on a nearby mountain, but after Kayshoe blew up the entrance and looted the structure, Jade had enough and decided to build something more imposing.

The castle has been a safe place for Jade to live and keep her essentials, as well as a power play to try to convince the newcomers of the server that she is the ruler of the land.

## Description

### Bridge

The bridge serves as the only land contact point between Jade's Castle and the rest of the major builds around spawn, connecting the Community Kitchen to the Blossom Forest outside of the castle. It is a flat, diagonal stretch of blossom planks with walls made of blossom fences. The bridge is maroon-colored and is decorated with lanterns.

### Blossom Forest

The Blossom Forest is a colorful grove of blossom trees planted by Jade. It lies just outside of her castle. The forest is quite extensive and consists of tall trees with red, orange, yellow, blue, pink, and purple colored leaves.

### Exterior

The castle itself is an imposing structure, made of two floating structures that follow a medieval theme.

The first structure is much longer than the other and is pointed on both the top and the bottom. In the middle are a few spots of white wall surrounded by a pink frame. These are the actual rooms to the building and contain windows on each of their sides. The roof is made of stone brick and juts into the sky. Around the main room, a stone brick walkway surrounds the building. Its railing is made of stone brick and pink fence gates. Hanging lanterns adorn the undersides of the roof and the outer walkway.

The second building is attached to the first building via a pink wooden bridge. This structure looks much more like a house. Its base is stone brick, the main rooms again have white walls and windows on each side, and the roof is made of pink leaves and stone brick. A walkway again surrounds this building, its railing also being made of stone brick walls and pink fence gates. The waystone to the castle is on this walkway. A platform lies below the second building, through which the water column to enter the castle is located.

### Tower

The interior of the first building, the tower, is comprised of three levels and a small storage area.

When going up the tower, the storage area is the first room. It is quite bare apart from a few animals and some chests for storing items.

The first level of the tower is a plain room with each of its four corners sectioned off. Tatami mats lie on the floor in some areas. A ladder to the next level is in the corner. Inside one of the corner areas, Jade keeps her eagle.

The second level is much more decorated. It contains blinds and a few working areas for crafting, reading, and making food. A railing surrounds an overlook to the first level. The ladder remains in the corner to traverse between levels.

The third and topmost level simply contains a couch and end table, as well as a table and chair setup. There are a few drawers for limited storage. A railing surrounds an overlook to the lower floors, and the ladder ends on this floor.

### Living Quarters

The second building, the living quarters, is where Jade actually has a bedroom and some of the essentials. It contains a bedroom and a few empty rooms on the way up to it. Despite being a much more spacious-looking building, it does not actually contain too much.

The rooms leading up to the bedroom are mostly bare, being part of the stone brick base of the building. They do not contain much more than lighting and blank walls. One contains the water column to get up.

The bedroom is also quite small. It is surrounded by white walls with no windows. It contains a bed, a table, some chairs, and some essentials for crafting. It is not lit, so it is typically quite dark.

### Basement

The basement to Jade's castle area is actually not connected to the castle at all. It lies beneath the maroon wood that covers the ground below the castle. This area, not the castle, is where Jade truly mostly lives out of. It has a full kitchen, extensive, sorted storage, a bed area, a living room, a fish tank, and many banners and trophies that Jade keeps. Off to one side is a room where Jade grows the plants from and stores items from the Hexerei mod, implying that they perform witchcraft with these items. The area is hidden, though there is a waystone that leads to it, titled "Down."

### Farms

There are farms for many crops below the castle. Most of these farms are arranged in 5x5 squares and contain ground crops from the Croptopia mod. Additionally, a bit further away, there is an extensive farm of many of the tree crops offered by Croptopia.

## History

The castle served as Jade's second home. It was under construction when the newcomers arrived to the Willow SMP. Jade expedited its construction and moved in as soon as possible following Kayshoe accidentally blowing up her original house.

It has not been the site of too many major events, but Jade met with Bertha the Bounty Hunter here twice during the Battle of Bertha, once to make a deal to get Pink's blood, and once to try and sell her the decoy blood later.
