'''{{{{{|safesubst:}}}ROOTPAGENAME}}''' is a project on the [[Survival 6]] and located on the sheltie server and was created by {{Player|Cosm1c_Moonl1ght}}, {{Player|1karekid1}}, and {{Player|M_Sky3}}. This Farm consists of Camels, Dashing Chamber, Donation center and Cactus farm. Head Hunt Hall is accessible through the north tunnel of the NTN and through the command /phome Cosm1c_Moonl1ght.HeadHuntHall
==About==
With a new wave of chatmods swarming the server, the interest and wants to slaughter camels to obtain their heads was on the rise. With few people having camel farms of their own, {{Player|Cosm1c_Moonl1ght}}, {{Player|1karekid1}}, and {{Player|M_Sky3}} came up with the idea to create a public farm to help enable all Cyberdogs to easily breed and kill camels. With {{Player|JVKermit}} contributing the first two camels, and {{Player|Artic_2446}} helping with the Redstone for the public farm to be connected to the SRN.

This farm has 32 breeding chambers, paired with a looting sword for all your killing needs. Next to the killing chamber is a lead and saddle for those who wait patiently for the adults to grow up. Once the Camels are adults you can take them upstairs to the dashing chamber, which holds wither roses to speed up the killing process where your friend can take the final hit to hope you get an Admin or Headmod head!

If you have no cactus no worries! Connected to the head hunt hall is a cactus farm alongside an area for people who wish too can donate their cactus!

Below the Dashing chamber there is a small donation center where people can share the love by donating the heads they don't want, and take some of the ones they do. Each server staff member has their own dedicated barrel for simpler navigation, where former staff members' heads can be found together in the barrels named “previous staff”. But hold on! You can also donate mob heads that you don’t need in their dedicated barrels!<gallery mode="nolines" widths="200">

M Sky3's Base: The Hole™

2025-02-10T21:10:58Z

SkyM3: added some images

This is the base of {{Player|M_Sky3}} on the [[Survival 6]] world on Dogcraft. This Base is located on a Retriever at approximately -26,400, ~, -22,700. The base's location was discovered by M on the 6th of December 2024. This project was designed for M to explore and push the boundaries of their creative limits and abilities. It not only serves as a challenge but also as an opportunity to build their confidence in designing and constructing something on a scale they have never attempted before. {{Infobox Base|subworld=Retriever|image=one snazzy base.png|caption=M_Sky3's Base||world=Survival 6|xcoord=-26457|ycoord=72|zcoord=-22777}}
==About==
The build is currently a work in progress and consists of a '''105-block diameter''' circle extending from Y70 to bedrock, with clear access to their storage and farms via elytra and a bubble-vator.
==The Base: Story of Creation==

===The Plan===
With excitement brewing for their return to Dogcraft in December 2024, {{Player|M_Sky3}} began planning their base all the way back in June. Determined to push their creative limits, they sought to return to the server with a '''bang!'''[[File:2023-03-19 21.png|thumb|Image of a part of M's Survival 5 base (Inspiration for the atmosphere of The Hole)|left|338x338px]]At first, M envisioned a castle, but despite countless sketches and early builds, nothing felt quite right. The structure lacked the immersive narrative they wanted to weave, and it didn’t capture the cozy, organic feel they had cherished in their SUR5 base—a charming small-town retreat.

Then, inspiration struck: '''''why not build a hole?''''' Not just any hole, though—a colossal, sandstone-walled crater enclosing a lush, layered ecosystem. Blending elements of dripstone and lush caves, The space bursting with vibrancy and detail. Grand entrances would lead to functional farms and a storage area, easily accessible via elytra or a bubble-vator. Vines would creep along the sandstone walls, adding texture and warmth. Sniffers, and parrots, would thrive in carefully crafted habitats, while floating islands—stretching from bedrock to the sky—would add a '''magical, otherworldly feel.'''

Beyond The Hole™, M envisioned a vibrant town, drawing inspiration from their past builds. Cozy homes, organic details, and thoughtful landscaping would create an inviting, lived-in atmosphere that naturally extended the beauty of their base.

Fueled by this vision, M jumped into Sandbox to refine their ideas—experimenting with color palettes and small design elements. Yet, much of the build would be left to spontaneous inspiration, ensuring that The Hole™ finally came to life on Dogcraft.

===Humble Beginnings===
It was early December, and M_Sky3 was back on Dogcraft. After securing the essentials needed to survive Minecraft’s harsh landscapes and lurking dangers, they set out on a long journey northwest across the Retriever world. At approximately -26,400, ~, -22,700, they laid claim.
[[File:2024-12-17_15.55.56.png|thumb|362x362px|The Halfway Point of Excavation]]
To mark the spot, M built a small deepslate tower, a lone torch flickering atop it—a beacon of the adventure ahead. Using whatever materials they had on hand, they mapped out the perimeter of a massive circle, carefully dividing it into quadrants. As the sheer scale of the project settled in, a wave of uncertainty crept over them—this would be no small task.

But on the 7th of December 2024, fate intervened. M found a companion: their first skeleton horse, Steve. With Steve at their side, the journey no longer felt so daunting. Together, they gathered supplies, steeling themselves for the next stage of their grand endeavor—The Dig.

===The Dig===
[[File:2024-12-16 01.24.58.png|thumb|Moments before the tragedy of Steve's death|476x476px]]
On 8 December 2024, M_Sky3 embarked on an ambitious project deep within the Retriever world of Dogcraft—an excavation of massive proportions. Armed with a diamond pickaxe and accompanied by their faithful skeleton horse, Steve, they began "The Hole™."

The first quadrant was grueling, requiring 42 hours of mining. To expedite the process, M turned to TNT, strategically blasting their way through the second quadrant. Friends like {{Player|Ze_Tais}} joined in, fueling motivation amidst the repetitive grind. By the time M reached Y0 in the third quadrant, however, progress slowed. Mining became monotonous. In search of inspiration, M added one thing to their Santa wish list: a shulker full of TNT.

But just as they prepared for the final push, disaster struck. It was an ordinary day, another session of digging in the third quadrant, when M received a message from AwesomeTom21

''"Hey, mind if I kill some slimes at your base?"'' -{{Player|AwesomeTom21}}
Thinking nothing of it, M agreed. A minute later, a sudden realization struck.
[[File:2025-02-07 22.57.23.png|thumb|343x343px|Steve's Gravestone]]
''"Just don’t kill my skeleton horse, Steve."'' - {{Player|M_Sky3}}

A pause. A slow head turn. Silence. Then, the dreaded reply:

'''''"Ummm…"'''''

That single word told M everything. Their best friend, their companion, the one constant since day one—gone. Murdered. By none other than Tom.

M Was Devastated and built a small grave to mark the day, the 16th of December 2024.

By the fourth and final quadrant, the finish line was in sight. With help from {{Player|kfr4014}}, they set off their most ambitious detonation yet—nine stacks of TNT. The explosion rocked the cavern, symbolizing months of relentless work. However, the chaos wasn’t without cost.

A creeper. A misplaced detonation. Kfr was '''''killed instantly'''''. Then came the message:[[File:2025-02-05 09.52.26.png|thumb|Progress of the ecosystems at M's Base|381x381px]]

'''''"RUNNN!"''''' - {{Player|kfr4014}}

The deepslate walls trapped M as a chain reaction of TNT ignited beneath them. A final explosion. '''''Death'''.'' But M returned. They had come too far to stop. No more shortcuts, no more risks—just M and their pickaxe, ''the old fashion way''. On 10 January 2025, the last block was broken and The Hole was complete.
===Building===
Construction of The Hole officially began on the '''12th of January 2025''', with the first major task—the walls. Made from a mix of sandstone, sand, and smooth sandstone, the towering structure required over 30 shulker boxes of materials and took two days to complete.
[[File:M's Farm Room1.png|thumb|381x381px|M's Sugarcane. Bamboo and Wool Farms]]
With the walls standing tall, M carved out embedded ecosystems, shaping their frames in preparation for future detailing. Four of the sixteen lush cave windows were decorated before M shifted focus to functionality. On 24 January 2025, M built a storage room capable of holding '''450''' '''large chests''', finally clearing the chaotic chest monster that had accumulated outside The Hole.

From there, progress flowed between multiple projects. Cave-building, terraforming the exterior, and farm construction all became part of the process. On the 7th February 2025, M added a wool, sugarcane, and bamboo farm, bringing The Hole one step closer to becoming '''a fully operational base.'''

===The Future===
There's still much more to come for {{Player|M_Sky3}}'s base, and the excitement is building. The completion of the ecosystems and the addition of floating islands will inject vibrancy into the build, reinforcing the overall atmosphere of The Hole

Beyond the main build, M is eager to expand the surrounding area, a space more in their comfort zone, where they can refine the aesthetics and bring even more life to the project.

On the functional side, there are plenty of future upgrades in store. M plans to add a creeper farm, trading hall, animal farms, dripstone farm, super smelter, and a dedicated tree farming area—transforming The Hole into both a breathtaking and highly efficient base.

On 24 January 2025, M built a storage room capable of holding '''450''' '''large chests''', finally clearing the chaotic chest monster that had accumulated outside The Hole.

From there, progress flowed between multiple projects. Cave-building, terraforming the exterior, and farm construction all became part of the process. On the 7th February 2025, M added a wool, sugarcane, and bamboo farm, bringing The Hole one step closer to becoming '''a fully operational base.'''

=== The Future ===
There's still much more to come for {{Player|M_Sky3}}'s base, and the excitement is building. The completion of the ecosystems and the addition of floating islands will inject vibrancy into the build, reinforcing the overall atmosphere of The Hole

Beyond the main build, M is eager to expand the surrounding area, a space more in their comfort zone, where they can refine the aesthetics and bring even more life to the project.

On the functional side, there are plenty of future upgrades in store. M plans to add a creeper farm, trading hall, animal farms, dripstone farm, super smelter, and a dedicated tree farming area—transforming The Hole into both a breathtaking and highly efficient base.

M Sky3's Base: The Hole™

2025-02-07T12:42:08Z

SkyM3: added a navbox

{{Infobox Base|subworld=Retriever|image=one snazzy base.png|caption=M_Sky3's Base||world=Survival 6|xcoord=-26457|ycoord=72|zcoord=-22777}}
==About==
{{Player|M_Sky3}} base is located on a Retriever at approximately -26,400, ~, -22,700. The base's location was discovered by M on the 6th of December 2024.

The build is currently a work in progress and consists of a '''105-block diameter''' circle extending from Y70 to bedrock, with clear access to their storage and farms via elytra and a bubble-vator.
==The Base: Story of Creation==

===The Plan===
With excitement brewing for their return to Dogcraft in December 2024, {{Player|M_Sky3}} began planning their base all the way back in June. Determined to push their creative limits, they sought to return to the server with a '''bang!'''[[File:2023-03-19 21.png|thumb|Image of a part of M's Survival 5 base (Inspiration for the atmosphere of The Hole)|left|338x338px]]At first, M envisioned a castle, but despite countless sketches and early builds, nothing felt quite right. The structure lacked the immersive narrative they wanted to weave, and it didn’t capture the cozy, organic feel they had cherished in their SUR5 base—a charming small-town retreat.

Then, inspiration struck: '''''why not build a hole?''''' Not just any hole, though—a colossal, sandstone-walled crater enclosing a lush, layered ecosystem. Blending elements of dripstone and lush caves, The space bursting with vibrancy and detail. Grand entrances would lead to functional farms and a storage area, easily accessible via elytra or a bubble-vator. Vines would creep along the sandstone walls, adding texture and warmth. Sniffers, and parrots, would thrive in carefully crafted habitats, while floating islands—stretching from bedrock to the sky—would add a '''magical, otherworldly feel.'''

Beyond The Hole™, M envisioned a vibrant town, drawing inspiration from their past builds. Cozy homes, organic details, and thoughtful landscaping would create an inviting, lived-in atmosphere that naturally extended the beauty of their base.

Fueled by this vision, M jumped into Sandbox to refine their ideas—experimenting with color palettes and small design elements. Yet, much of the build would be left to spontaneous inspiration, ensuring that The Hole™ finally came to life on Dogcraft.

===Humble Beginnings===
It was early December, and M_Sky3 was back on Dogcraft. After securing the essentials needed to survive Minecraft’s harsh landscapes and lurking dangers, they set out on a long journey northwest across the Retriever world. At approximately -26,400, ~, -22,700, they laid claim.
[[File:2024-12-17_15.55.56.png|thumb|362x362px|The Halfway Point of Excavation]]
To mark the spot, M built a small deepslate tower, a lone torch flickering atop it—a beacon of the adventure ahead. Using whatever materials they had on hand, they mapped out the perimeter of a massive circle, carefully dividing it into quadrants. As the sheer scale of the project settled in, a wave of uncertainty crept over them—this would be no small task.

But on the 7th of December 2024, fate intervened. M found a companion: their first skeleton horse, Steve. With Steve at their side, the journey no longer felt so daunting. Together, they gathered supplies, steeling themselves for the next stage of their grand endeavor—The Dig.

===The Dig===
[[File:2024-12-16 01.24.58.png|thumb|Moments before the tragedy of Steve's death|476x476px]]
On 8 December 2024, M_Sky3 embarked on an ambitious project deep within the Retriever world of Dogcraft—an excavation of massive proportions. Armed with a diamond pickaxe and accompanied by their faithful skeleton horse, Steve, they began "The Hole™."

The first quadrant was grueling, requiring 42 hours of mining. To expedite the process, M turned to TNT, strategically blasting their way through the second quadrant. Friends like {{Player|Ze_Tais}} joined in, fueling motivation amidst the repetitive grind. By the time M reached Y0 in the third quadrant, however, progress slowed. Mining became monotonous. In search of inspiration, M added one thing to their Santa wish list: a shulker full of TNT.

But just as they prepared for the final push, disaster struck. It was an ordinary day, another session of digging in the third quadrant, when M received a message from AwesomeTom21

''"Hey, mind if I kill some slimes at your base?"'' -{{Player|AwesomeTom21}}
Thinking nothing of it, M agreed. A minute later, a sudden realization struck.
[[File:2025-02-07 22.57.23.png|thumb|343x343px|Steve's Gravestone]]
''"Just don’t kill my skeleton horse, Steve."'' - {{Player|M_Sky3}}

A pause. A slow head turn. Silence. Then, the dreaded reply:

'''''"Ummm…"'''''

That single word told M everything. Their best friend, their companion, the one constant since day one—gone. Murdered. By none other than Tom.

M Was Devastated and built a small grave to mark the day, the 16th of December 2024.

By the fourth and final quadrant, the finish line was in sight. With help from {{Player|kfr4014}}, they set off their most ambitious detonation yet—nine stacks of TNT. The explosion rocked the cavern, symbolizing months of relentless work. However, the chaos wasn’t without cost.

A creeper. A misplaced detonation. Kfr was '''''killed instantly'''''. Then came the message:[[File:2025-02-05 09.52.26.png|thumb|Progress of the ecosystems at M's Base|381x381px]]

'''''"RUNNN!"''''' - {{Player|kfr4014}}

The deepslate walls trapped M as a chain reaction of TNT ignited beneath them. A final explosion. '''''Death'''.'' But M returned. They had come too far to stop. No more shortcuts, no more risks—just M and their pickaxe, ''the old fashion way''. On 10 January 2025, the last block was broken and The Hole was complete.
===Building===
Construction of The Hole officially began on the '''12th of January 2025''', with the first major task—the walls. Made from a mix of sandstone, sand, and smooth sandstone, the towering structure required over 30 shulker boxes of materials and took two days to complete.
[[File:2025-02-07 23.06.21.png|thumb|381x381px|M's Sugarcane and Wool Farm]]
With the walls standing tall, M carved out embedded ecosystems, shaping their frames in preparation for future detailing. Four of the sixteen lush cave windows were decorated before M shifted focus to functionality. On 24 January 2025, M built a storage room capable of holding '''450''' '''large chests''', finally clearing the chaotic chest monster that had accumulated outside The Hole.

From there, progress flowed between multiple projects. Cave-building, terraforming the exterior, and farm construction all became part of the process. On the 7th February 2025, M added a wool, sugarcane, and bamboo farm, bringing The Hole one step closer to becoming '''a fully operational base.'''

=== The Future ===
There's still much more to come for {{Player|M_Sky3}}'s base, and the excitement is building. The completion of the ecosystems and the addition of floating islands will inject vibrancy into the build, reinforcing the overall atmosphere of The Hole

Beyond the main build, M is eager to expand the surrounding area, a space more in their comfort zone, where they can refine the aesthetics and bring even more life to the project.

On the functional side, there are plenty of future upgrades in store. M plans to add a creeper farm, trading hall, animal farms, dripstone farm, super smelter, and a dedicated tree farming area—transforming The Hole into both a breathtaking and highly efficient base.
