SEASON 3
Twenty Arcadians fell into a brand new world at the press of a button on March 14th 2020 – starting Season Three. On December 4th 2021, after 21 months, the Arcadians jumped through the space time portal leaving AthosCraft Season 3 for the brighter, sunnier pastures of Season 4.
Building close together was the theme of this season. We chose a world with a central shopping district on a mooshroom island surrounded by islands and landmasses that were dedicated to specific build styles.
So many things have happened in Season Three!
Some get that first death experience under the belt a bit sooner than others. Because Tony and ArseyRC were the last 2 in this season not to die they challenged everyone else to try and build some deadly traps for them… “Hunt” began.
The medieval district was attacked by a dragon, named Douglas, who has opinions on our basis for a system of government and has befriended a parrot.
Some of the shops in the shopping district have really taken off – and by that I mean: look to the sky!
The Shopping District mayoral race resulted in poster wars and several huge amazing builds to advertise the virtues of the candidates. The election was not without drama: Tony’s campaign manager voted for a different candidate – twice!
A pig, named Kevin, was struck by lightning, underwent metamorphosis, and after employment as foreman in a factory, he has now made it as the mayor’s assistant. This brave creature also suddenly grew an ear overnight when the 1.16 update hit AthosCraft.
Speaking of 1.16 – expecting this update we had not developed the Nether significantly, and could therefore reset the Nether to take full advantage of the new biomes and blocks now to be found.
When Valentine’s Day was coming up Tony decided that we should try and be nice to each other. He built a device to draw a random name of another player and do something nice for them!... but knowing everyone on the server, it was probably something "nice", wasn’t it?
A perfect little red sand mesa canyon was discovered by Darth Angelo who envisioned it turning into... Mars! A "March Martian Mesa Madness Month" community building event was born.
We were barely finished with our Mars explorations before new adventures befell us: The pirates attacked the Shopping District and stole the Athos Treasure! Brave Arcadians went treasure hunting to recover awesome pirate loot, but it was not all smooth sailing: Some were struck by curses, which they could only escape by passing on to fellow Arcadians! We all learnt to keep our inventories full that month.
We have spent many evenings together enjoying all the mini-games that have cropped up during this season. However, one game is not so mini: The Dungeon Games. This Hermitron and Decked Out inspired massive dungeon of puzzles, parkour and exploration built by ArseyRC has given players hours of nerve wrecking game time to obtain those coveted collectibles.
Also, the Borg are invading the Nether.
You can read all about it in the AthosCraft Herald or watch the Athos News.
During Season Three we experimented with the mini-block, armour stand and player- and mob-head addons developed by FoxyNoTail. This has been very popular amongst many pladyers who has added many funny and beautiful scenes with characters.
