Schmuu Tower was supposed to be the first building of a town yet to be named or founded. A player on MinecraftOnline of less than two weeks, Schmuu had ambitious plans to build a sprawling, realistic, tightly packed city. He chose the site where Schmuu Tower sits today due to its large area of flat land and its proximity to a boat route. Schmuu Tower is four stories tall, not counting the basement. It was both the first building of the envisioned town and the first building Schmuu had ever built on the server. The tower was envisioned to sit in a tightly-packed row of similar buildings along the shore of the neighboring body of water. For Schmuu Tower specifically, Schmuu hoped to make the first floor a shop of some sort, the basement a storage area, and the top three floors apartments.
With limited resources, sub-par tools, and block lag, construction was excruciatingly slow. Resources were gathered as the tower was built, and on top of that, large amounts of smoothstone had to be smelted on some particularly laggy days. When the building was completed on October 15th, 2018, it was apparent that Schmuu's vision of a sprawling, realistic city with wide streets and an abundance of shops and residents was going to take much more time and resources than he had previously thought. Coincidentally, literally moments after the tower was completed, Schmuu received an invitation from 
Mrsuperdiamond to join his new settlement, Titanville. Lured by the prospect of living around other players, having more resources at his disposal, and being discouraged by the time it took to build Schmuu Tower, he made the decision to abandon his planned town and start a new life in Titanville.
Sometime between June 2020 and June 2021, Schmuu Tower was incorporated into New Kansas as part of the expanding Second Midwestern Empire. It was a major landmark in the Mojave War between the Midwesterners and the Mojave, being the site of the war's first major battle, which was a Mojave victory. The Midwesterners eventually won the war and built a massive protective structure around the tower.

The Titanville Embassy in Antopia was built shortly after Antopia's founder and sole resident, 
Balianto, set up an embassy and temporary living quarters in Schmuu's hometown of Titanville. After obtaining permission from Balianto to build an embassy for Titanville, Schmuu began work on a medieval-style building just outside the walls of Antopia. Although the block palette of the Titanville Embassy does not completely match the predominantly cobblestone block palette of Antopia, the medieval building fits in with its old castle/fortress theme. Eventually, the walls of Antopia were expanded beyond the embassy, engulfing it within the fortress walls.
The embassy features a small multi-purpose meeting room (which contains the only known map of Titanville, which is most likely outdated by now), offices for Schmuu and Mrsuperdiamond, and a guest bedroom in case they take a long stay at the embassy (you know, for all that inter-city dilomacy that totally happens on MCO). The embassy is also home to a sheep named Gerald.

Schmuu's House is Schmuu's current residence, his second building project, and his third completed build. It is located in Titanville. The house is loosely based off of Frank Lloyd Wright's famous Fallingwater in Mill Run, Pennsylvania. As a building tactic, Schmuu allowed himself one good look at an image of Fallingwater before building his house and then prohibited himself from looking at any more pictures of it in order to create a building reminiscent of, but not a direct copy of, the real thing. Its clean, modern architecture contrasts with the majority of Titanville's buildings, as most of them follow a nearly universal cobblestone, oak wood, and oak log block palette. Schmuu's House follows a somewhat strict block palette of stone bricks, spruce wood, smooth sandstone, and glass and includes many balconies, large windows, and skylights for an open, "outdoors-y" atmosphere. Fallingwater is known for taking similar aspects into account. In January 2021, Schmuu completed a great amount of landscaping around the house, further solidifying the house's focus on nature.
The house features a large living room, a foyer, a bedroom, a patio, a rooftop pool, a large wall of furnaces, and a storage room which are all private to Schmuu. The house also features an XP grinder (with automatic collector chests), an enchanting room, an anvil, and a potion brewing station which are open to all Titanville residents.
Contributions to BearTown
Schmuu had visited BearTown once before, being given a tour by its founder, 
RPS_DA_BEAR, and was amazed at how quickly the town was constructed and how many residents it had. A few weeks later, on February 1st, 2019, Schmuu saw in chat that RPS and some other players were constructing a plaza in there and needed extra help constructing the buildings that would surround it. He offered to contribute and was welcomed. Contributors to BearTown Plaza include RPS_DA_BEAR, 
kwuutie, 
NoobyTunes, thepinkschmuu, and 
CrunchyBit. They all shared resources to complete their own separate parts of the project. Schmuu's builds are as follows:

RPS had laid out a flat area at the edge of the plaza with signs stating that he wanted a clock tower. He also said that because it would be a major landmark, he would be picky with its appearance and that he would have permission to edit the building as he pleased.
The location set aside for the clock tower.
Schmuu's first design for the clock tower was inspired by the KERANOVA Clever Paper Medieval Clock Tower and a clock tower on an old Minecraft Pocket Edition map called "Von Fatalis." Schmuu completed most of the front facade but wasn't pleased with the outcome. RPS also commented that it was "a bit too simple" and even modified the doorway. Schmuu later decided to tear it down and start fresh.
The extent of Schmuu's work on the original tower.
After tearing it down, Schmuu began a new, original design with more depth, a wider block palette, and a curvier form. The base of the tower to the top of the clock face was pre-designed in creative mode, but the roof and the four facades above the clock faces were done freehand . RPS was much more satisfied with this design than the first one, stating that "it look[ed] great!"
The clock tower is the tallest building in BearTown and is easily recognizable in the skyline. The tower simply has a small "+"-shaped room on the ground floor with an open door on each wall, meant to facilitate foot traffic. The upper levels of the tower contain a large gearbox/mechanism for the 4 clocks and a loft which serves as Schmuu's living quarters. These upper levels can only be accessed by a secret entrance.

Titan Tower was built purely out of boredom. It protrudes upwards out of a sea of trees and shorter buildings while being overlooked by the mountains, the Colossal Titan statue, and Schmuu's House. Housed at the top of the tower is book and quill for visitors to leave notes in.

The Titanville Opera House is the primary meeting place and cultural center for Titanville residents. It is available to all MCO players for hosting shows, meetings, etc. with no permission necessary! The house seats 318, not counting standing room, and there are 86 balcony tables seating 2-4 each. The entire structure was slowly excavated by Schmuu over the course of nearly 5 years, and the cobblestone mined from the project is currently being used to built Titan Sky. The Opera House was built in an "old-school Minecraft" style and is primarily made of naturally-generated stone. The house and stage are built on a 45-degree diagonal, allowing for better stage visibility and creative set design.
