Story

Candarush always dreamed of building something really cool in Minecraft. The interest in building dates back to the beta versions of the game, when he first launched the game and the tools for building were very limited. Every year he honed his skills, building more and more impressive structures in singleplayer mode. At the same time, a wide variety of blocks appeared in the game. However, every time he built new structures, he lost his enthusiasm, because all the achievements remained within the limits of the singleplayer game mode. The servers he played always lost players and closed, not giving time and motivation to make something huge and complex. The culmination was finding the MinecraftOnline server.

With a rich background, this server has become the ideal foundation for the deployment of large-scale construction. Without wasting time looking for a suitable place, Candarush chose the first empty hill with a single tree on top. He broke the log, it was restored. He broke it again, it appeared again. He broke a block of grass and block of leaves, but they reappeared. Suddenly, a piece of log dropped on his head. He thought "This server is so good that each block needs to be broken 3 times to drop. Perhaps it means that each block is three times more valuable, but it certainly means that you need to think three times before placing it." He didn't bother making a house, base or other typical first day build, immediately starting to hoard resources in countless chests for the grand construction. When through extreme block lag he was able to get iron tools, things went uphill. Or rather "nohill", because the hill has been excavated to the last block, leaving a huge flat area. All the resulting cobblestone was smelted in the name of a great building. The hardest part lay ahead, placing the stone bricks. He had no right to make any mistakes, because the placed blocks would take ages to break again.

He was hit by an idea. The game has a creative mode. But it's only possible to harness the power of creative mode in singleplayer. Candarush decided to build a structure in the "god mode", an ideal structure designed to perfection from inside to outside. Then the resulting structure would be built from scratch on the server. He left the server. For a day. For a week. For a month... To any regular player he could seem like a typical newcomer who quit the server forever after a week of playing.

However, after long time, he entered the server again. Like a mad scientist struck by an evil plan, he magically knew what to build and where exactly to place every block. A year later, construction was completed. Where once was the inconspicuous hill, now 5 massive towers rose to the sky, one reaching a build height limit. The structure was given a generic name - Castle of the Fallen Sword. This build acts as a hidden gem 1000 blocks away from spawn and can be discovered by new players on the road to wilderness. There is a whole sign forest at the entrance, collecting dozens of messages left by the visitors.

However, one question remains unanswered. When Candarush leaves the game for long, is he really gone forever, or is the server just waiting for a new cool build?
