DCPS, or rather, The DogCraft Pet Store, was created at the start of Survival 5 by 20.png Wanderer_06. Just think, how often do you breed pandas by the dozens? How often do you give yourself the challenge of capturing all 35 types of horses? (That one was rough, wouldn't suggest it) Screaming goats? The fastest donkey? The 9-slot llama?

Staff

DCPS employed only its founder, 20.png Wanderer_06, but if there are any future reactivations and expansions, DCPS may look into hiring, as mob collection and transport can be quite time consuming.

Qualities for consideration in the hiring process would include:

  1. A Willingness to grind,
  2. An Appreciation of the NTN,
  3. And a whole lotta Patience

About

Founded on April 14th, 2022, the DogCraft Pet Store didn't open its doors officially until April 24th, 2022 in MOTTO plot Y17. Rather than focusing on profit, DCPS introduces a fun break from building and grinding by incorporating the adventuring, capturing, breeding, and transporting aspects of animals into regular gameplay. DCPS also gives the opportunity for its staff to get to know the incredible transportation systems (including, but not limited to: The NTN, SRN, CRN, CSC, and RHN), and even some of the amazing DogCraft community and what they're working on!

In the Scenes

  • DCPS only had one storefront in Survival 5, located in the lovely MOTTO shopping district on plot Y17 (opened 4/14/2022). The magnificent storefront boasted a large grass block with a bunny inside to greet you, and an elevator up to the inside of a goat where you placed your orders.
  • There was a pop-up turtle egg advertising the storefront in rented exhibition slot #1 in MOTTO as of 4/24/2022
  • On 6/1/2022, a park in The City of Leon with at least one swing was promised in exchange for a discounted price of 85% off all mob purchases by Leon Members or Citizens needing mobs for Leon projects. And boy did Leon deliver! Now to the South of the magnificent Grand Central Station, you too can visit Wanderer_OhPark!!
  • Plans for future storefronts included stalls in cities like Leon and Caelon, and appearances in community events like PinksVille and Holiday build zones.

Behind the Scenes

Keeping track of, and having most of, all renewable mobs in Minecraft is quite the big ask. Which is why DCPS had four state-of-the-art facilities located across the four worlds. Each facility is identical in shape, but unique in color and location.

  • The Shepherd location was in Rome, a personal city project of 20.png Wanderer_06. This was the first of its kind, and housed every type of cat, cow, fox, panda, and horse in the game.
  • The Akita location was second to be constructed, and was conveniently placed in a Jungle around a temporary panda breeding pen.
  • The Corgi and Labrador locations were both built in the same day, the Corgi location on a Mooshroom Island, and the Labrador in a Savannah biome.


Transporting these mobs is a whole 'nother challenge. Most of it came down to portal placements, and connecting said portals to the NTN, and moving the mobs via the tunnel networks. Besides that, an incredible amount of rails on netherrack could be seen in the sky for orders such as 20.png FRAS3R_'s Elder Guardian.
