Muffin Town (InstanceTopic, 21)
From Compile Worlds
Muffin Town is the affectionate name given to the Minecraft world that is being created by Keiji, Chao, and Akkie. It is still a rather undeveloped, but expansive landmass. It's construction and expansion into something greater will be seen in the near future.
Locations of Interest
- Muffin Town Shrine
- Yes, even Muffin Town has it's own holy Muffin Shrine. It serves as a haven for large chests to stuff with dirt and a "safe" place to craft in the daytime. It has three gates, only two of which currently function, activated by a lever, which Chao was unable to locate, much to Keiji's chagrin. It is considered the hub of Muffin Town despite the spawn point being half a kilometer away from it. This actually makes sense to veteran Minecrafters, who know you don't build on spawn.
- Potato Farm
- Just beyond the shrine, we come to the Potato Farm, half of which are Angol's Potatoes, and the other half are Arle's. Twice as much space is given to wheat, which is also harvested more often, but apparently that's seen as less important. Akkie also seems to have a hard time remembering how to spell "Potatoes".
- Akkie's House
- A small, humble lodging where Akkie keeps many small chests and a bed to keep herself cozy. It is close to the shrine and built on an incline, so a (very short) flight of stairs must be taken to it. A sign on the wall reads "Homu-Mikki".
- Chao's House
- Just next door to Akkie, in a huge trench Chao hand dug himself with a hoe and a shovel, is Chao's House, which also contrasts with Akkie's by being huge and having a roof made of cobblestone. It's defining feature is it's deluxe Cow-Lookout-Balcony™, where you can get a perfect view of the cows in their
natural habitatpen. A zombie once broke in and killed Chao in his own home, causing him to respawn so far away that he had no hope of getting his stuff back. Keiji later happened to look through the door and find a creeper in there, which he promptly lured away and successfully dispatched with great care. - The Ravines and the Extreme Cave
- There are currently two known ravines around Muffin Town. One is only a few blocks north of the shrine and is not only incredibly obvious, but is even more incredibly easy to fall into, which Akkie has done numerous times. The other hides underground in the Extreme Cave, which was first found by its river entrance, and then found to conveniently link up with a second entrance by the Sheepery, just a little east of the shrine. Quite a bit of action takes place in this cave, as Keiji still needs more aspergite to make the shrine gates work properly and stop creepers from blowing it up like Marisa and refrigerators did to the Hakurei Shrine.
- Ravine Mine Shaft Intersection
- Out aways from the shrine, Chao had accidentally fallen into a huge ravine leading into a mine shaft, discovering it as a haven for every undead creature imaginable. Needless to say, Chao was mauled down there with no food and defensive options, wasting part of the 72 Iron Ingots he made armor and tools with. Keiji was happy to find a new ravine, but ultra pissed Chao wasted iron to get there.
- Satan's Tower
- A huge Tower under construction by Chao. He cleared out a small area north-east of the shrine to build it, but then spent the next three hours looking for it again, getting lost in several caves and wasting 72 Iron Ingots making the tools and armor necessary for safe exploration, thus causing Keiji to kill him. He found it again later, and resumed building it, marking a proper pathway to it this time. Hopefully it's construction will be completed soon.
- The Beach
- Seemingly forgotten, perhaps due to the fact that there isn't very much sand on it and even less now that Akkie took some for her glassmaking, the beach lies a reasonable distance west of the shrine, and so far hasn't been built on other than a small hideout and a failed attempt at a chicken farm. Keiji hopes that something notable will be built there soon.
Etymology
Muffin Town was named in honor of the fact that muffins have somehow become almighty Mac Guffins in Compile Worlds 2.
