Cookies58's Island is the project, and home of  Cookies58_ on the Survival 4 world of the Dogcraft Server. It's a modern/contemporary styled base modeled after traditional American downtown architecture, located on an island.

History

The island, which is located about 11 thousand blocks west of Camp Beagle, was discovered on the launch day of the Beagle world. The base was originally going to be a medieval themed harbor village, with ships and trading ports, however the medieval theme wasn't leading anywhere, leaving Cookies feeling a strong case of "builders block". Because of the lack of inspiration, the decision was made to transition the base into a new style, which was possible because only a few buildings had actually been completed on the surface. After some pondering and the release of the 1.16 update, with some inspiration from Keralis1's Hermitcraft season seven base, the decision to move to the new style of modern was settled on.

About

To have a consistent quality of builds, the majority of buildings found throughout the base were designed in a creative test world. One of the main goals of the base was to cultivate a realistic atmosphere, with lots of detail packed into every block. To achieve this, (almost) every building sports a fancy interior, with some even having eastereggs of other members of the server, and multiple nods to popular culture (especially inside the book store). To further resemble reality, graffiti can be found in multiple places throughout the island, with some referencing the base owner, and some just being vibrant splashes of color to break up blind walls.

Inspiration

The initial wave of inspiration came from Keralis's Hermitcraft season seven city base. While his base is more large scale, with more skyscrapers than not, the bases do share some similarities, namely in the style used. After the inspiration for the base was found, the search began for specific buildings to recreate in game. A key source of inspiration came from Lego Modular buildings, leading to copies of many modulars being represented on the island. Other inspiration came from custom built lego modular buildings, and occasionally, real life buildings in American downtowns.

Utility

Located in the center of the island is the base's main storage area, which is more medieval than the rest of the island using primarily wood. The storage room remains the only reminder of the island's medieval past. Easily accessibly via a slime block jump at the bottom of the centrally-located gazebo, the storage halls have room for everyday storage, as well as bulk storage and several farms. The halls are equipped with gunpowder and flower farms, as well as a room for killing dogs farming moderator heads. Also exhibited is a complete collection of mini blocks, many mementoes, and a vast head collection. Before the great style swap, there were a couple farms built on the island's surface, including an automatic wool farm (which was moved to the office building), as well as a sugarcane farm, and a villager breeder, both of which were demolished to make room for renovations.
