The Nerd Table Gazette: Week Two

Shovels tearing through the ground and wither skeleton skulls left to occupy it, our second week has drawn to a close. It's time for our weekly recap of TNTable!

The hype for our new MC1.21 world continued strong from the opening week, with players dedicating little bits of every day plotting, scheming, and putting their ideas to the grind. Many of our players dedicated their time tinkering away at massive, ongoing, multi-day colossals, while others looked to smaller builds to breathe life into the world. Elsewhere, public services were expanded server-wide, an XP farm was established, and the world received its first Mending villager!

As always, we welcome players to document their adventures over on our wiki, where you can also see back on a decade of archive to the TNTable endeavors over worlds past.

Highlights:

• The members of Red Team have established an invaluable XP farm, thanks to the lucky discovery of a zombie and skeleton spawner in close proximities. It can be accessed by the public with the /phome command.
• The first Mending villager has been established, and has been set based inside Megaussy (name still pending) thanks to the efforts of Matt.
• Curiously, this week saw not one but two mass-terraforming projects, as players were called upon to assist flattening out Red Team claim at Crackdonalds HQ and at Jack's claim outside Megaussy (name still pending).
• An end portal was discovered, and a nether portal has been established for quick transport to it. Discussions about a potential date for a server ender dragon fight is ongoing and inviting any commentary on the Discord!
• A major plugin structure for an ocean monument was discovered. This boss fight has also opened itself to discussions about planning a server event date.

Player Developments:

Note: Player names listed in alphabetical order, and should not be treated as any ranking of each players' progress

• Angus kept his endeavors secretive but dedicated some time to the server, likely riding the rails.
• Blackout completed work on his spruce mansion build, and has opened up his own business for the storage of horses inside of it.
• David has begun work on his own mansion build and has contributed significant time to its creation, which we look forward to seeing its thrilling vision fulfilled. Elsewhere, he has begun work on an iron farm for the server.
• Dayache and Peanut have moved away from spawn and have constructed a two-story cherry wood shack with the members of the mega city.
• Jack officially broke land on the server, terraforming a large chunk of land for a planned rural farmland build involving various crops and villager farmers.
• Matt finalized work on his Blacksmith building, and begun the week committing to various odd jobs throughout the server, building some apartment buildings for the mega city, as well as a Train Station near spawn for his previously built Ice Highway. He closed out the week working on amenities for the server, constructing a [Wither Skeleton Farm], before closing out the week working with villagers and acquiring the world's first Mending villager!
• Michael continued work on his Japanese-styled mega build, constructing the first three layers of the main structure, as well as an additional pergola entrance for its front entrance. We hope to see it completed come next week's gazette edition!
• The members of Red Team have been hard at work expanding their corporate kingdom in bulk, currently constructing a base of operations & auto farm building outside Crackdonalds HQ, while undergoing deep drilling and terraforming to their surrounding area. In addition, Red Team has assembled a double-spawner XP farm for the server, which has already seen tremendous use and appreciation.

If you would like to add any of your adventures to next week's edition of the gazette, be sure to send MatrVincent a message on Discord!
