Citadels

Citadels on the server refer to large towers built into mountains, usually designed to appear as though the building is jutting out through the mountain's exterior. Citadels are the most common Survival shelters built on the server.

History[edit | edit source]

Citadels have a long history on the server, the first being built in Map 1 primarily by JPLemme, mercury1964, and delorean225. This original citadel was where everyone on the server at the time lived, and it featured numerous towers, balconies, and floors. It had a bridge to a second mountain where another citadel was being built (though it was never completed), and it used a water-elevator system internally.

Since this first citadel, numerous others have been built on the server by various groups of people. The largest citadel in Map 7 was built by leothecat1, Camsupersnake, CNBLL13, and delorean225. This citadel is larger than the original and includes multiple farms, stables, bridges, bedrooms, kitchens, and chest rooms.

Construction[edit | edit source]

Citadels are traditionally built in Survival mode by a small group of people, and use cobblestone and other castle-like materials for the bulk of their construction. Citadels are well-suited to Survival mode, as the materials used to build them are acquired by mining them out. In addition, citadels can be continually expanded upon without needing to change existing layouts, and can be connected to mines and other features easily. These attractive traits make citadels the shelter of choice for many survival parties, perpetuating their prominence on the server.
