S1: "Exploring the ruins of Deathcap"



A fellow player on the server named Ace gave me co-ordinates of some ruins at Deathcap, the Minecraft anarchy server I used to play in. I think they wanted me to make a video of me exploring it.



I made up the names (so it's more interesting) for each place with a subtitle of the description Ace game me. I hope they don't mind, but here the relevant DM:






DM from Ace

I'm not sure why they deleted their Discord account. Oh well.

I think I "met" Ace when they asked for some help in the server. They intentionally gave me the wrong co-ords multiple times but eventually admitted to it (I travelled for hours).

Any sane person would get mad at that, but I somehow didn't because maybe I was too used to getting manipulated and I instead just continued as normal. I could've cut all ties and called them out on it but I didn't. I didn't find it funny, as I probably don't take well to "pranks". I don't remember too well what happened next but this path I chose somehow let me to making a Minecraft exploration video. It is but water under the bridge - it's an anarchy server after all, so trusting anyone is a mistake (even the server caption was "Trust Anyone").








Message from Deathcap Discord



I guess Ace kind of became a friend of sorts, even though I'm not really "friend" material and they deleted their Discord account. If you are reading this, Ace, hi.



I also had a little mishap in the server, relevant to this video in my time in Deathcap.

I was once stuck in the Nether. I tried to sleep in the Nether - not sure if I did it just for fun or if I genuinely forgot about the exploding part. Anyways, I somehow didn't spawn in the Overworld - I spawned on top of the Nether; on top of the bedrock. I tried starving myself and dying (difficulty was hard) to try spawning somewhere else. I think I asked for help from an admin but that was to no avail, but a fellow player - Arma - offered help. I had to starve myself a few times to spawn within the bedrock floor and ceiling of the Nether, while not being too far from Arma. They saved me with a Nether portal and even went as far to make me a little hole underground with a bed so this wouldn't happen again. Even though it may not be much to them, they will always be a Minecraft hero in my eyes. Looking back, Arma may have contributed to me making the exploration video in the first place since I wouldn't been stuck in the Nether for real-time days, hoping to find a random Nether portal if I even manage to not spawn above the bedrock ceiling.






Arma the Savior


Future Bing Soy here, just noticed this comment thread on my "Minecraft Universe cover" about exploring these ruins. Hopefully this adds something? Note that I was "Bing Soy Gaming" at the time (and for the duration of season 1).
