Tag: Vanilla

Roots is my own personal time machine back to 2013, the year I first played Minecraft. After over a decade of playing the game, I found myself relying on unique server mechanics and gamemodes to keep my interest and, ultimately, keep me away from the “boring” vanilla game. After too many hours flying aimlessly on anarchy servers in search of my next dopamine hit via a base raid, I realized I needed to return to what made me fall in love with this game in the first place.

Roots relies on four primary rules which serve to keep the world nearly vanilla and encourage gradual progression and intentionality:
– No mods which greatly alter gameplay
– All farms must be decorated
– No abuse of bugs or glitches
– No full tutorials

Through these self-imposed rules, I’m expanding my skills in various aspects of the game, from building to redstone, and learning to stop and smell the roses rather than rush to the dragon fight (which I’ve yet to attempt in this world). Worldbuilding and lore have helped spark a range of ideas and projects in my world, from a colossal humanoid skeleton to the world’s 16 guilds. I hope this world can be an inspiration to others who feel under-skilled in the game but have a desire to create something amazing.

Hello internet,

I’m a 32 year old gamer based in the United States. Unfortunately, I have a terminal condition that is taking a sudden turn for the worse, and I’m entering hospice tomorrow. I won’t be logging back on Reddit after posting this.

I created my forever world, Aminova, a few years back and built it up pretty massively. I’ve had a blast in the game and it was one of the few things that brought me peace and escape in my final months when things were the worst. To that end, I don’t want Aminova to disappear after I’m gone.

I’m including here a download link to my world file. It has a pretty massive main base a ways off spawn (there’s a Nether blue ice highway at spawn to it), and it has a wood farm, iron farm, trading halls, all breedable animals, all collectibles, full netherite gear, floating replica biome islands and a lot of other stuff.

I don’t have any expectations about anyone seeing this, but, just the thought of even one more person having some silly misadventures in this place that is so special to me brings a smile to my face.

If you decide to check it out, I hope you enjoy it and my lousy architecture.

This is my first Minecraft world, started in Beta 1.6 in 2011.

A lot of the builds are mine but not all of them, my wife, brother, and friends have added to it over the years.

It has been through many, many versions of Minecraft. I do tend to trim chunks to keep backups managable, but try and leave some terrain from each update.

I would reccomend starting by exploring my castle, the storage room has a ton of supplies and is next to a portal to the Nether Hub. The Nether is a complete maze but it makes some sense (maybe?? it sort of does to me haha.). The End has my WIP space station me and my brother have worked on.

The overworld is designed to be easily traversable by horse. When chunk blending was introduced, I did remove some of the chunk borders so the world “flows” better from place to place. I kept some of the cooler chunk borders. Generally the world is two continents, the “old world” and the “new world” (to the West).

My main base is the castle you will see from spawn, and the little town around it. Surrounding this is what I call the “green belt”, a Beta forest that I try and not build on because I find the terrain cool. Outside of the green belt is most of my villages and towns.

The world is played on Survival, however it is just my personal world that I play with friends so in the past I have done rail, carpet and dragon egg dupes, though I don’t do that these days and stick to 100% survival. I have at times fixed biomes when it went from Beta and early release and then the biomes changed and returned them to close to what they were originally (ie Desert became Swamp or whatever). So in other words is it survival 100%- basically yes, I don’t allow people to use creative to build, but bear in mind it is almost 14 years old and has been through a lot!

Hope you have fun exploring and feel free to do whatever you want with the download! I hope you enjoy exploring the world and feel free to ask any questions! 🙂
