Boxtown

Boxtown was the first major town on the server, created as a private server by Phaze for his friends to play on. This came with the boon of not needing to worry about outsiders coming in and griefing the constructions.

Description
Boxtown was a run-of-the-mill indev world until it was moved to a Beta map, during which it was accidentally placed too deep into the ground, creating its characteristic below-sea-level positioning. The positioning, despite only being amusing at first, wound up being popular enough among the players to be was kept.

It has consistently been the spawn point since the creation of the current world, being that is located at the "zero" x and z coordinates.

Due to multiple seed and Minecraft version changes over the course of Boxtown's history, the biomes surrounding Boxtown often have strange and sharp edges. While many have been fixed, some odd edges still prevail. One such example of odd edges is that the water surrounding Boxtown is actually one block higher than sea level.

In-Canon Description
Boxtown was not initially planned to be a settlement. Upon the discovery of the Water Temple by Aclosegarian traders seeking new resources and subsequent Water Gate scandal (Capitol schools had taught they were the first and only civilization in existence), the area became the site of a massive excavation privately funded by Aclosegarians. The only other major discovery during this time was the Stone Pillar, which pushed the scandal up a level. After no subsequent discoveries were made, and the scandal itself continually causing an uproar, the Capitol decided it had nothing to gain from letting this continue. The Stone Pillar was siezed and used as a military base; further excavations were made illegal, shutting down the project and the funding for the miners. The miners, penniless, had no way of returning to the Capitol and surviving. But, it didn't take them long to realize they had created prime land to settle down on. After a few short years, Boxtown was born, named after the square shape the excavation site had made in the ground.

Today, Boxtown is still running strong, recently opening up a school house. Occasionally Capitolers sail down for a vacation or some sightseeing. The Stone Pillar continues to be used as a military base.

Being below sea level, Boxtown has problems with flooding. To help fight this, many sponges have been placed underground. Remember, only you can prevent infinite water spreadage. Small glass and stone walls have been erected around it as well, but they are not always successful.

It has been theorized that the Water Temple effects the tides around Boxtown, making the water slightly higher than the rest of the ocean.
