The Vault
The Vault is a game of chance with great rewards for winners. It was designed and built by Shintyx.
Location
The Vault is located near the Warp Caverns, under the road towards Lava Town. You will see a sign pointing you in the right direction as soon as you exit the cave while walking towards Lavatown.
Mechanisms & Game
The Vault is a combination locked vault with several integrated security measures. Combinations can be set through changing the positions of the six levers inside. These combinations can then be entered by pressing the Enter button. There are 128 possible combinations of lever positions, giving you a 0.78% chance to set the correct code.
If the combination that was set is correct, the vault will open and allow access to a chest. As reward for successfully opening the vault, the chest contains diamond blocks that may be looted. For this purpose, wool on top of the chest may be destroyed by the player who legitimately opened the vault and this is not considered griefing.
- Warning: If an incorrect code is entered, security measures will activate.
Furthermore, The Vault also includes security measures against donor powers such as /thru, /ascend and /descend. This makes it impossible to loot the chest without griefing if the correct code is not entered. These security measures are deactivated once the correct code is entered and re-activate when the vault entry gate is opened.
In case that The Vault is successfully opened by a player, it will be refilled and programmed with a new combination.
Redstone Wiring
If you wish to have a tutorial on how to construct redstone technology mechanism like The Vault, or would like to have one constructed for yourself, please contact Shintyx.
Griefed
On 7/22/2016 Mr_Fudgy and ScarClaw72 found out that The Vault had been griefed and all the treasure stolen from it. They still do not know if anyone knew before this or if the perpetrator is/was banned. The whole building has not been taken down, but an entrance into the side where the chest was has been created. The Vault does not work properly at this moment in time so until it is repaired, there is no purpose to try and crack it.
