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 6 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.

History

Founded on the first day of the Minecraft server initially as "The British Empire" but later rebranded to sound less evil, Withering Heights began in a swamp not far from the 1.16 Spawn before the six 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 maintaining a working nightlife difficult. Upon assessment of the town's generally spooky nature, the residents decided to embrace the slightly odd air of the town. This includes a recreation of the overlook hotel from The Shining and a general withering design to the town's tunnels. The town now features several homes, a wall, a viaduct and a windmill as well as the home of the server's 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.
