Entrance to the Mob Museum

The Mob Museum is a collection and display area for all of the obtainable and maintainable mobs and items available on the server, as well as server memorabilia, player-written books of interest, and various town maps, created by WhimsyBridges.

Appropriately nicknamed "Labyrinth 2.5", the museum is a multi-level underground complex that extends from the Somewhere Main portal where it can be accessed all the way to the wither rose farm west of town. As of June 11, every passive and aggressive mob in version 1.15 which does not despawn when named (excluding the Ender Dragon and Elder Guardians) is featured in a variety of display cases or left free to roam the museum. This also includes a ghast, guardian, live shulker, blaze, all of the pillager raid mob types, and a wither named "Welcome to Somewhere".

More recently the museum has expanded to include various sentimental or historical items from around the server, including the Thanos armour from the End Puzzle event, now-unobtainable legacy armour, prizes from the detailing contests, an original lore token from the End Opening in October 2019, and a small collection of curse of binding pumpkins with charming names such as "peepeepoopoo". In addition, various books have been gathered from around the server, such as the NotDublin constitution, RT's Diary, and the infamous Theadonn's Gravel Love Story fanfic by WolfSlayr.

Other points of interest in the Museum (aka WhimsyBridge's massive 23k claim block base) include a bedrock-to-sealevel mansion with a night sky and constellations, several themed animal rooms spread around the base, definitely not a nuclear reactor, a water tunnel tag room, and a gift shop.

There is also an All Items room, which displays every object available in 1.15 survival mode. Including an additional bonus Barrier block, Command block, Chain command block and Repeating command block spawned in by Jim.

Shelly the I,II and III

The end bridge event started when WhimsyBridges offered two stacks of diamond blocks for a shulker to be split amongst a group of volunteers. Several players immediately jumped on the idea and got to work researching how the expedition could be pulled off.

On March 26 a group of people (mainly consisting of Theadonn, Stephanovietch, albuq, TeamWinFTW, WolfKnightSlayer, tysonpickel and djhojka) started constructing a bridge in the end leading from the blue gateways. After 6 hours of bridging, an end city was found with one shulker left. Shelly was put into a boat, and the ice for the highway was placed as the group progressed back to the main island. the journey back took about 30 minutes, at which point the group tried developing a plan to get Shelly to the overworld.

The plan was to place buttons everywhere, hit Shelly, have her get onto the bedrock pillar of the end portal, then either boat or minecart her in. After an hour of trying this the group finally got Shelly into the portal, with someone waiting at spawn to see if she ended up there. It was realized too late that entities were prevented from passing through the portal, and Shelly ended up trapped in the portal in a minecart. After seeing some images of end hub covered in buttons and rails, ValentinT and SierraStorms came online to investigate. Because Shelley was completely stuck and was pinging the server console with errors, ValentinT killed Shelley and SierraStorms respawned Shelly II on the end-side of the portal, where she was later moved to a safe location. The next day Katuen spawned one more Shelly just outside the spawn portal, where it was boated to the museum and dropped into its display case through the floor of Labyrinth 1. This was one of Whimsy's most highly paid jobs, with most of the helpers receiving 40 diamond blocks and a number of sponges each. All told, the expedition took over 8 hours of bridging, buttoning, transporting, and cleanup.

Later in the week some madlads decided to complete the highway they had started, and spent three long days constructing a 16k x 16k full ice bridge to the end and then to the blue/purple border corner, where a small town was founded.
