Hello, I am Montenator!

About Me

My name is Montenator (more commonly known as Monty) and I live in Scotland. I joined the Dogcraft server in late 2016 and was active throughout the rest of Sur 1 and the entirety or Sur 2. I would go on hiatus at the start of the Sur 3 world, but would return in April 2020 when Survival 4 launched. I have been an active Cyberdog ever since and like to document lots of my memories of the server on my Youtube channel.

On Dogcraft

• I have been a fan of Hermitcraft since 2014, initially starting off watching Hermits like Topmass, Xisuma and Unhost. I was introduced to Rendog when he joined the server in early 2016, at the start of Hermitcraft Season 4. I had been wanting to be a part of a survival SMP series like Hermitcraft for a long time, and decided to check out Rendog's survival fan server that he advertised at the start of his videos.
• I joined Dogcraft on the 27th December 2016 and journeyed 3000 blocks out to set up a base in a savannah biome. I quickly set up a starter house and a small crop farm. Not being particularly good at Minecraft back then, my armour was traditionally a mismatch of iron and diamond gear, some I had enchanted myself and others that were cast offs that other players kindly donated.
• My Survival 1 base consisted of a variety of smaller builds such as some wig-wams, a large animal barn, and an auto sugar cane farm. The builds don't really hold up well today, but you can still find a block for block recreation of my Survival 1 home behind M-Bay on the Husky server.
• Back in the day player count seldom creeped above 20 during peak hours, and it wasn't uncommon to find you being the only person online during off hours, so you can imagine how strange it was when upwards of 40 players attended to opening of Survival 2.
• Unlike Survival 1, the Sur 2 spawn town was heavily built up by the server build team, and featured many pre-made plots for players to set up starter bases in. The season started with Ren leading us on a quest to defeat the ender dragon. We all got geared up at the stronghold but would soon become sitting ducks when we lost all our gear when going through the end portal, leaving it up to Ren and the admins to battle the dragon while the other players ran for their lives.
• I decided to set up nearer Spawn during Sur 2, setting up about 1000 block due north of Spawn City. I started my base which was named Treelar Island, initially a small island of the coast of a dark oak forest, but later I expanded and claimed the forest too. Notable builds in that base include the main Treelar Island, my nearby monastery and my summer cabins at the edge of the forest. Greenfield Station would also be constructed by  darparniox in the plains biome behind my base, giving Treelar Island a direct connection to the North Line.
• At the start of Sur 2 I joined the SRN team but was relatively inactive there until Sur 4. During the waning months of Sur 2, I struggled to find motivation on the world, that combined with some trouble re-linking my account when the server updated, resulted in me beginning my long hiatus from Dogcraft.
• After being inactive for over a year and a half, I started finding the desire to return to Dogcraft. In February of 2020, I made a return on the Survival 3 world, which at this point was nearly wrapping up too. It was at this time I brought my IRL friend  N1cM4tth3w63onto Dogcraft as well. We decided to start a base nearby Barrier station but due to the Sur 3 world being up for over a year, I found myself overwhelmed at the progress of everyone else and very quickly lost motivation to play again. After exploring the SRN, which I always loved, I concluded my time on the Survival 3 world.
• I still loosely followed the Dogcraft discord, so when I saw  Scooberson's announcement that a new survival world would be beginning I started to consider returning to the server, finally being on a level playing field with everyone else. After two weeks of indecision, I returned to the Dogcraft server in late April 2020 and started a base on the Survival 4 Husky world, roughly 4k blocks North West of Camp Husky.
• After a week I asked N1c if he would like to return, he accepted and we began to start a joint settlement. However both of us had conflicting ideas on what we wanted to do with the area, eventually resulting in us going our separate ways with N1c opting to build a medieval castle, while I built a modern mansion. However in May I could already feel burnout setting in, I needed a brand new project I could invest lots of hours in. So in mid-may 2020, I started my first survival mega-base, M-Bay, just south of my current area. M-Bay is currently still under construction, and is built around a large mountain side bay. The base still has a long way to go but it is has become a landmark in the north-western area around Spawn. M-Bay now has connections to the RHN, as well as an SRN connection under construction, with planned connections to the NTN and CSC once it gets underway.
• I have since teamed up with  LazyNine,  ElliotTheRedd and N1c to bring the Hunger Games event to the server and also became a helper on the server in July 2020. I also set up a Youtube channel which documents server events and creating my own Hermitcraft Recap style show - 'This Week On Dogcraft' which covers the streaming/ content creation aspect of the server. After nearly 8 years of playing Minecraft I can safely say this is the moment in time I am most inspired and haven't enjoyed the game this much in years. It has always been a privilege to be part of this community and I am sure there are some more amazing things to come!
