Withering Heights

Withering Heights (Formerly known as The British Empire, Name Pending and occasionally Withered Heights) was a town founded on the very first day of the 1.16 Minecraft server on 13/02/2021. It was founded by a group of 5 people who after absolutely obliterating a swamp in the search for resources eventually settled on a mob riddled mountain as their new home.

HISTORY

Founded on the first day of the Minecraft server initially as "The British Empire" but then rebranded due to not wanting to sound entirely evil, Withering Heights initially began in a swamp not far from the 1.16 Spawn before the 5 founding members moved on and discovered an extremely complex and possibly hollow mountain range. Upon settling here the members found it completely infested with mobs which made getting a working nightlife rather awkward. Upon assessment of the towns generally spooky nature, the residents have now decided to embrace the spooky slightly odd air of the town. This includes a recreation of the overlook hotel from the shining and a general withering design to the towns tunnels to really sell the "Why did I come here" vibe. The town now features several homes, a wall, a viaduct and a Windmill as well as being the home of the servers first sheep admiral. Additionally the town is looking to brand itself as a holiday destination with several attractions in the works including hotels and a potential theme park.

The Town Board for Withering Heights

Rules

• Always ask before setting land aside before Building, just double checking with any neighbours or other members of the town will suffice
• Try to minimize your impact on the overall landscape, try and work with it rather than terraforming it
• Please try and ensure your homes are well lit to avoid the copious amounts of Monster spawns being made even worse
• No more than 20 villagers for the entire town

Notable locations/residents within the town

The Yeet Fields - One of the first locations people will come to from the town docks, the yeet fields are a functional farm designed to reduce the amount of mobs spawning outside of the wall. The actual success of this project has been questionable but it has yielded and amazing amount of toast.

The Docks - Home to the town's one and only ship helmed by the esteemed sheep captain Admiral J. Mutton (the J has been said to stand for many things, currently it's Jooles). The Dock also includes a hotel and a black market, as well as an in the works rail link to the Overlook Hotel.

The Wall - One of the first major steps taken by the town to curb the issue of mobs, the wall acts as a barrier that made the interior of the town easier to light up while looking cool. Similar to the Yeet Fields its actual effectiveness is a matter for debate.

Trainer's Viaduct - Carries the rail link between the docks and the hotel, currently in the works but has already been described as slightly ugly.

The Overlook Hotel - Currently under construction, wondering how we buy ghosts for it. May need extra cleaners if that whole blood scene from the movie happens

The Tavern - Run by Hekken, the Tavern serves a 100% War Crime free variation of the delectable Vino Humano, while originally looking to host rooms for guests it was decided to double down on the wine instead.

The Hole - The towns community mine, basically a gigantic hole.
