Hello, I am XPModder!

About me

I joined Dogcraft towards the end of Survival 3!

While I mostly stayed to myself for my time on Sur3, I have since become an ever more active member of the Dogcraft community and enjoy working on community projects and hanging out with other members of the community!

IRL I am from Germany and am currently studying electrical engineering.

On Dogcraft

• Survival 3:
  • For my time on Survival 3 I nearly exclusively worked on a base in an iceberg biome. Due to loosing interest in Minecraft for a few months and me joining relatively late in the lifecycle of the world, I never finished this base.
• Survival 4:
  • Starting with the creation of the Survival 4 world (that was later known as Husky) I became more active in the community.
  • My starter base was located very close to exactly 2k away from spawn. There were multiple other bases close to mine. Among those was the city of Gaia and the Union Village (later renamed to The Haven).
  • Due to my close proximity to these bases I soon became a partner of the group called The Union and started working together with them on their base. I also helped other nearby players on their bases occasionally.
  • Later in to the lifecycle of the Survival 4 worlds, I traveled further out in the world and found a place for my main base. This base was going to be a medieval castle on a hill with a medieval village/city at the bottom of the hill. For the rest of my time on Survival 4 I mostly worked on this base. I was able to almost completely finish the castle, where each building inside the castle walls housed one or more farms that would produce resources for me. Due to a lack of inspiration for the houses and some time constraints due to things happening in real life, I was unfortunately not able to build the village/city at the bottom of the hill.
• Survival 5:
  • My adventures on the Survival 5 worlds started far from optimal, as I started out on the Shepherd server and considered myself lucky, as I found some valuable resources very early on. Unfortunately I soon lost all these resources, as I died and was not able to get back to my stuff.
  • After this I went to Labrador and picked a random cardinal direction (north) and started exploring and looking for a place to settle. After a long trip over the ocean I found a very large cave with a entrance that was partly under water in a jungle and decided that I would want to build my base in this cave.
  • Soon after I discovered a slime chunk in the middle of this cave and some mob spawners nearby. I ended up building a big tower-like structure around the slime chunk, which was dug out and converted into a farm. Inside this structure, above the slime farm, a extensive automatic sorting system as well as a 32 furnace smelter array were build on multiple floors. A walkway circles the tower about halfway up and connects to walkways in all directions. These walkways lead to many other farms, that were built into the sides of the cave. All farms are linked directly to the storage system and almost all of them are within the random tick range from the center of the tower. Thus all these farms can work, when I am or another player is in the central tower.
  • Not long after the beginning of Survival 5 I also joined the NTN/SRN discord and soon became a semi-regular helper at the weekly NTN dig sessions. To this day I try to take part in every NTN session and I like chatting with the other players in voice chat.
  • As I have a passion for the railway, I also try to help with any SRN events and try to attend every line and station opening.
  • As the SRN is only active on the worlds of Akita and Shepherd, I have also become a very active member of the Community Rail Network. The CRN was a player-made project for operating rail lines on the other two worlds (Corgi and Labrador) and was founded after the SRN announced that they would only be operating on the two worlds. As part of the CRN I planned and built the first rail station on Labrador (North Station) and with the help of many other player, I built a rail line to connect it to spawn. Even after completing this rail line I stayed active in the CRN and have worked on multiple other rail lines and stations. Eventually I became the leader of the CRN, a role which I shared with the founder N1cM4tth3w63 and later H_Di_Chemici who joined in december of 2022. The CRN as its own independent rail network only existed during Survival 5, as it was merged with the SRN with the start of Survival 6, due to the number of worlds for Survival 6 being reduced to 2.
  • In the beggining of december 2022, thanks to my activity and engagement in the community, I was given the chance to become a helper on the server. As helper I was taked with helping new players get linked with the old, now defunct, linking system. Despite helper terms at the time being 1 month I ended up staying helper for 3 months as the HeadMods had not appointed new helpers earlier. After the end of my 3 month term as helper I was asked to permanently join the Staff team by becoming a ChatMod and happily accepted.
  • In early 2023 I also joined H_Di_Chemici and Xambaka as Park Manager for the minigame area PuppyPark which was constructed on Corgi. I helped them construct infrastructure and built a few games there.
  • In June of 2023, after Txp had announced his retirement from the CDNN project, Montenator and I stepped up and took over the leadership of the CDNN from Txp. I still hold this role to this day (21st December 2023), but Montenator has stepped down to the role of Editor in the CDNN with William278 taking over his position as leader of the project.
  • At the end of september 2023 I was approached by William278 and offered the position as WikiAdmin due to my continued activity on this wiki and accepted the offer.
• Survival 6
  • With the announcement of the Survival 6 season in august 2023 many of the player run projects went through some changes and adapted to the new rules and other changed condition for Survival 6. Some of these changes also directly effected me:
    • The CRN and SRN decided to merge under the SRN banners whilst also taking on some of the community oriented aspects of the CRN, effective with the start of Survival 6. With this merger several members of the CRN, including myself, were given positions as Line Managers in the SRN.
    • The CSC went through a change in leadership, with L1GHTN1NG_STR1KE retiring from his role as leader and Montenator taking up this role. Montenator then approach and appointed new CSC Master Navigators: Elasmotherium1, H_Di_Chemici, ItsDaCreeper and myself, XPModder.
    • All the transport networks combined their discords into a single discord server: The Dogcraft Transport Discord, also known as the DTD.
    • The minigame area PuppyPark was a Survival 5 project and therefore would not make it to Survival 6, but H_Di_Chemici, Xambaka and I decided to build a new bigger and better minigame area on Survival 6, which was later named Canine Kingdom and is located on the Sheltie world.
  • As a member of so many different projects (SRN, CSC, CDNN, Canine Kingdom) and other roles (Server ChatMod and WikiAdmin) I decided early on that I would not build a base for myself on Survival 6, but rather only build a single house/building with a personal storage and otherwise live mostly out of the area and storages of the projects. This decision was especially made easy by the plans of the transport networks to build a single combined storage that would serve all of them.
  • My starting place turned out as a part of a cave in the area claimed for Canine Kingdom, where I set up my bed, crafting table, furnaces and chests to start of with.
  • Later, after I had built East Station on Sheltie, I made a personal storage inside an unused area of the station and later added a small furnace array to it as well. This has served as kind of a base for me ever since.
  • In early summer 2024 Montenator took over leadership of the SRN and to somewhat reduce his workload, decided to step down as CSC Captain. Subsequently I took over this role and therefore leadership of the CSC.
  • Most of the time when playing on the server I am building rail lines, rail stations, ports or minigames. I sometimes also help the DCT with their events.
