Season 1

The very first season of the DustySMP started on the 12th of September, and is therefore also among the shorter seasons as most other seasons lasted a full month. It is also the season where the Revival Keys got introduced.

## Notable events

### First Day (September 12th)

Luff was the very first member to join the DustySMP, only for Meraki to join very shortly after. After a short moment of waiting for others to join, the nighttime drew closer and they sought towards a nearby village to sleep. Although their attempts to rest were futile as by the time they reached the village, Toby had joined the sever- making sleep improbable.

While all of this was taking place- the Owner of the server, Mop, was struggling to even get Minecraft to work. He was late for the own launch of his server as every time he would attempt to join the server, he would simply fall through the world and see nothing but void *(which is beautiful irony when you consider how the next couple seasons end for him)*. Once Mop finally managed to make it onto his own server, he teleported to Luff and Raki- giving a proper introduction to how this season was gonna work.

##### **Original SMP Rules**

The preparations for the collective base were set in motion, and after Toby had made his way to the village- the four of them located the nearest cave to go exploring for minerals. It is during this trip that the SMP experience it's first death, as Toby meets and untimely death to a spider due to a massive lag-spike on his end. Due to the unfairness of the situation, Mop decides to let this death and he bestows revival upon Tobster.

### The Whispering (September 13th)

As the second day of the SMP rolls around, Raki and Luff jump onto the server early in the morning and start working on the villager farm. The potato farm and the villager farm grows quite a bit in size, and about four hours into their early birb streams- Mop joins the server. Mop is highly energetic compared to the other two Europeans, and as one thing leads to another- a bit gets taken too far, and Luff runs up to an Iron Golem where they punch it; leading to their very untimely death.

Luffs death influenced a new rule to be added onto the very simple set of rules:

### Villager Farming (September 14th)

As Meraki and Toby mourn the loss of Luff they continue villager farming (very sadly many tears were shed), and it is during this time that the villager and potato farm experience the most growth as they know that this is what Luff would've wanted. Toby also starts on his house/bar/church build which mainly consists of calcite that Luff had gathered for the house.

### Unfortunate Cave Exploration (September 16th)

Nicholace and Jimbo both join the server for the first time on the 16th, and after spending three hours gathering materials and getting armour as well as weapons; Nicholace meets his untimely demise in the caves beneath the communal village. A water-grave gets risen in his honour, and he gets the record of dying the fastest on the SMP without getting resurrected.

### Calcite and Ghasts (September 19th)

Mop decides that it is time to go locate a fortress, and therefore starts mining in the Nether. Meraki's been working on the villager farm in sadness since Luffs passing, but gets called to help Mop bridge to the fortress as it is clear that he will die if he doesn't have someone looking over his shoulder. Toby joins them, but makes the unfortunate decision to attempt to run over the extremely scuffed bridge that Mop had made in the Nether- where Toby almost gets shot off by a skellington. Toby manages to dodge it, but ends up freezing in fear as a ghast notices him; and in a fear of panic Toby does not react in time which unfortunately knocks him off of the bridge where he dies. Meraki and Mop moves forward to the fortress with heavy hearts, and manage to get enough blazerods (with a lot of connection issues on merakis end)- and they decide to make their way towards the stronghold so that it is located for future use. They set up a Nether portal in the stronghold and they connect it to the fortress so that there's easy access back and forth between the portals.

### Forget-Me-Nots (September 20th)

Luff gets revived- having to dig their way out of the grave that Mop had made for them. They then do a seven hour stream just farming potatoes.

### An Unlucky Set of Events (September 21st)

The day started out like any other- Luff and Raki doing an early birb stream filled with villager farming. At this point they're attempting to get enough emeralds to buy good armour for everyone else so that they can fight the dragon without having to worry too much about passing. It is during this time that Luff asks chat a very fateful question which will start a chain-reaction that will later that very same day lead to several peoples demise- "hey chat wouldn't it be funny if we put curse of binding on a pumpkin and tricked mop into putting it on?".

After the trap is set up, more potato farming ensued- and eventually Mophead showed up in the chat and made the decision to invite the one and only Bappogo onto the server to cause some very-much-not-needed chaos. Bap convinces mop to take off his helmet, mop gets pumpkin stuck on his head, mop decides the correct course of action is to trap luff and meraki underground while they're mining for iron, mop and bap gets scared by luff yelling and hides, luff and raki go to the stronghold without the guys, the guys try to set up a silly trap by the stronghold nether portal cause they don't realize luff and raki have blazerods, the guys spend the next hour or so attempting to locate the stronghold as luff just simply destroys the nether portal in the overworld, luff and raki manage to destroy all the end crystrals despite having forgotten to bring arrows for their bows, luff dies to fall damage and it is a very sad moment as both raki and luff fucked up and managed to not place their water in time, raki carries on with breaking the crystals and gets launched into the air as well and ends up dying. bap dies to a wither skeleton while looking for mop in the nether (he was also looking at his chat that were currently gambling), and mop has to go fight the dragon by himself.

Mop manages to kill the dragon by himself (also consuming the one singular God Apple that had been found- having previously belonged to Luff), and he decides that he does not want to carry on without his friends. He makes a speech, and puts all this stuff in a chest- and then decides to throw himself into the void so that he can finally be rid of the curse of binding pumpkin that had been stuck on his head for the past three hours.
