Mons Albus is a town in Southwestern Freedonia founded and built mostly by Daltalf.
Summary
Founded upon a peninsula on 08/07/2020, Mons Albus is a colorful town with a theme based on medieval and fantasy architecture. Its hills are rather moderately fortified with half-walls, and a couple of those hills with castles. The houses vary in style from half-timbered homes to European-styled row houses, yet most are topped with acacia or reddish block roofs.
Its name is Latin for White Mountain, though originally there weren't any snowcapped peaks nearby. It was firstly the name of a castle Daltalf built with his siblings on a separate Minecraft world, which was accidentally deleted. Thus, he named this town in memory of that place. In order for the town to live up to its name, though, Dalt eventually terraformed one of the hills into a small, snowcapped mountain.
Since May 8th, 2023, Link03 was made co-owner of Mons Albus. He has permission to build anything within the town, and he is able to give and revoke others' permission to build in the town as well, as long as that is clarified in the builder-owner contract. Builds prior to his election to leadership are not subject to destruction, but modifications if necessary.
How to Get Here
There are a few ways to get to Mons Albus:
- By boat (recommended): warp to New Venice, head south until you reach the end of town. Take the Snow Golem Route (follow the buoys made of snow and jack o' lanterns, resembling snow golems).
- By road: warp to New Venice, head to the southeast corner of the town. There you will find Route 57, a road made of stone slabs. Take that road for about 1.5 km and you will see a cobble/sandstone road branching off to the east. Take that road and it'll lead you straight into town!
- By rail: At the New Venice Station, take the line that goes southbound.
- By nether: Head to Emberrest and find the nether portal at the Central District. On the nether roof, take the ice road.
- By nexus: Light blue -> Light blue 3 -> Mons Albus
