Season 3

## Revival Island

Season 3 of the Revival SMP, otherwise known as Revival Island, was the most inactive Season of the Revivial SMP to date. Though new members were added, circumstances both internally and externally caused issues with the server.

Nonetheless, Season 3 featured various recurring members from past seasons. These included **NotJackaL**, **Bottyde, BlueCyanide, LarryKoopa\_YT, helenlol2, TR1CK, PairedJupiter92, ThePrecious8, R14g, Bitter\_nymph, Vampsy\_, boofy03, Azalyx\_, electral0k, WintersGem and BellaStar001.** A few additional members were added in this season, including **c0m3tzzz, cyber\_\_craft, Puppetflip** and **Khyee.**

Revival Island was unique from other seasons due to it's entirely custom map featuring an archipelago of varying biomes, with the spawn island at (0,0) being a standard plains biome.

It ran up until October 14th 2023.

### Server Opening

The server opened during September 2023. This was one of the most popular openings in all of Revival, due to the inventive concept of the server with the island map design. Furthermore, ever player spawned alive, and were able to choose their spawn location based off a map that was shared to everybody. This maximized the opportunities, however also presented advantages and disadvantages.

A returning team was The Kizuki, formed in Season 2 and originally consisting of varying members of the server. However, this rendition of the Kizuki featured only the best PvPers on the server. With 6 members, the team had a numbers advantage on Day 1. However, a member named **Khyee** suffered two deaths on the first day.

Furthermore, **Bitter\_nymph** and **boofy03** both suffered deaths on the first day. The most notable crisis across the server was a famine due to unusual mob spawning rates initially. For the Kizuki in the Cherry Blossom island, polar bears randomly spawned instead of mobs that provided food. Fortunately, **JackaL** identified a location where animals would spawn.

Teams made swift progression to the Nether and maximized gear was obtained within the first 2 days of the server. There was a true peace on the server for the first few days of the server, which was a first for the server, which was usually consumed by chaos.

### The First Embers of Tension

The Kizuki went on many treasure hunts and expeditions during their initial reign. They were notable for pillaging resources from the very limited amounts of naturally generated structures, having a monopoly and commodity on the resources which were necessary for progression or safety, such as the Miracle Fluid ingredients.

However, due to this monopoly, and the speculation surrounding his treachery within the team, **Bot** decided to part ways with the team and form a pseudo-rebellion. Though unsuccessful in progressing its rebellious matters, it did succeed in distributing resources to those who were disadvantaged from the very beginning. **Bot** also ransacked the Kizuki Pyramid Base, forcing them to move bases. However, this led to an extreme discovery.

### Discovery

With the intention to go to the edge of the map, the Kizuki placed a portal at the world border of the Nether. When they travelled through this portal, they ended up at large stone walls outside the map. This gobsmacked the team, who struggled to come to a conclusion as to why this occurred. However, it was understood after a short time. Due to the map's circular shape in the overworld, the square shape of the Nether, and the limitation of a world border being Square shaped only, the Nether Portal transported the team to the corner of the map where the worldborder intersected sides. As the corners of the overworld map did not exist, there was extra space which was filled with a stretch of void followed by stone walls and then a small area of naturally generated overworld. This area could be constructed in, however, the void could not be accessed due to barrier blocks covering the roof of it.

This provided the Kizuki with a safehaven if necessary, as nobody else knew of this issue due to its unusual and difficult to discover nature. However, this was not utilised, and they rather moved to a southern stretch of swamp and developed a large town with many features such as a Hollywood Sign replaced with the word Kizuki. This would become known as Kizuki Boulevard.

### Progression

At this time, the other teams of the server were struggling to swiftly progress. This lack of progression sponsored an inactivity in the server's playerbase, with the majority of the players left grinding being members of the Kizuki. For this reason, the Kizuki would allegedly disband, however, this was revealed to be untrue.

Furthermore, **PairedJupiter92**, a member of the Kizuki, was OPed by **Bot** at the start of the server. He used this to abuse creative mode and distribute items to the team for both PvP and Building purposes. Furthermore, he spawned in the items from Spoke's Wormhole, a Lifesteal event which brought in admin items that could destroy the server. However, these items were ultimately destroyed.

### The One Piece

Half of the server came together in tandem to search for The One Piece; a legendary treasure, which took 3 hours to discover, and was only consistently searched for by the Kizuki due to their power and speed which could not be matched by other members. However, the item was revealed to be a gold nugget, and ultimately caused demotivation between even the Kizuki itself.

### Bot Stepping Down

**Bottyde** officially quit the server, turning ownership over to **JackaL** and **BlueCyanide**. This was in favour of other content types. This began a new era of Revival Island, in which the new admins would elude to the end of the server with events. The first even featured a parkour course in which the participants **Bitter\_nymph, Vampsy\_** and **Puppetflip** had to complete within 45 minutes. **Vampsy** beat the course within literal seconds of the time limit, and received one of the axis coordinates for the final event room.

## **The Final Events**

### Parkour Event

**Satan (JackaL)** would build a parkour course alongside **Jupiter** and **Blue**. If the course was completed, the participants would receive the X coordinates to the Final Room. Time boosts were allocated as players collected items from across the world to provide to **JackaL**. **Vampsy** completed the parkour and received the coordinate.

### Escape Room

**BlueCyanide** and **JackaL** made an **Escape Room** that featured some of the **Backrooms Levels,** along with The Rubber Room (Crazy? I was crazy once). They made everyone try and **complete** all the rooms, and when they did, they received the **Y &** **Z Axis Coordinate.**

### The Finale

Immediately after the Escape Room, the participants made their way to The Pyramid, one of the most notable locations on the server. Once players jumped in, they were met with the Revival Museum, which featured items from previous seasons, and also signs with notable events on them. Players made their way to the portal, and once they jumped in, they were met with a surprise.

Bob :) and Fred were waiting through the portal, being **JackaL's** sheep from Fate SMP (Season 1). After passing through a tunnel, the participants found god sets lining a pathway into a custom made End dimension from Season 1.

**JackaL** and **Jupiter** ended up killing everyone at the event (again) and **Blue** ended the two.

The players then all took final screenshots and jumped into the void.
