Build Restrictions
When a person wanted to build in sak they had to go to a private world and recreate what they wanted to build or show a concept and send it to the build counsel. It would either get accepted, rejected, or would even be modified by the counsel. This caused a lot of people to not join due to most of them just wanted to just build a skyscraper or house and not have to ask if a plan is fine. Also if the building was built without permission or "looked ugly" the counsel would request for it to be taken down or modified so it looked better.
This build restriction is not in place anymore but any new buildings or modifications to what's left of the city have to go through markthomas007.
History
Sakurium is an urban skyscraper city with high-rises mostly made of quartz and concrete. Due to the strict build style and government, not a lot of people joined.
It started in the 1.12/1.13 server with the idea of making a urban skyscraper city by the original mayor Professor_Sword. He was strict on what was built and the city didn't grow much due to the lack of resources the 1.12/1.13 server had.
When the whitelist completely broke beyond repair one month before the server reset, one person in the sak discord decided to host a server in the snapshot versions of 1.14 for anyone that wanted to try out building with the new blocks so they had practice for the new city in 1.14. The server became to be known as Sakurium Evolution (later shortened to Sakura Evo) since it originally showed the evolution of building from the sak builders and was Japanese themed (though the evolution concept was later scraped when it was developed more). The owner of the server started to develop it into an actual server network and is now being developed into a full server network. Its still being developed and is was recently released.
The town went inactive for several months around the time they were building suburbs.
A Slight Revival
With the entrance of a new mayor, "DrthVrdr", along with the opening of the end dimension, some old and new Sakurium citizens began trickling back to support the several month inactive town. Some of the few players that came back began to attempt to completely finish the urban section.
They attempted to build stuff again but most of them went off into other city's or stopped playing after the end opening
The suburban district of Sakurium, also known as Sai (Originally Hajimari), has split off from the main Sakurium city. It had plans to create a brand new town, with much less government and restrictions, similar to the style of Godhaven or Somewhere. They started building but also died soon after due to lack of support, the announcement of the 1.16 reset, and the mayor focusing on other projects like The Sakura Evo server project.
Closing Down
The Suburban district, now renamed to Sai City, gained traction and developed a better stance in the role of a proper town. Sakurium on the other hand, is now rendered a metropolitan ghost town. The district has two residents. The people that are currently still there are simply re-constructors, finishing up the forgotten towers of uninterested citizens that were left behind.
With no other option left for the empty, inactive, modern, high-rise town, Sakurium lost its city status, and joined Sai City as the Urban District. Its now a ghost town now and the only people still living in/near sak are MoroboshiAtaru, and markthomas007.
The Last Big Sakurium project (RT International)
Markthomas007 started to revamp the city when Professor_Sword was working on Sai but after finishing the James Terminal in Sak. He had an idea to build a airport in the city and in November of 2019 he decided to start work on RT International airport and started to terraform a area. It was his first time making an airport but he had a general idea of what he wanted to build. He had to terraform a big area of the airport and it took a 5 months to finish. It wasn't exactly what he wanted but its was his first time doing a airport and it still looked really good to other people. Later he made a deal with albuq to have his name on the terminal with a few other items in the deal that he wont say to get a elytra. Soon after finishing Terminal 1 he decided to start work on the international terminal with a bigger and better design in mind and is currently working on the terminal. Though with the 1.16 reset very close its very unlikely it will be finished in time.
