Chapter 1: Foundations
In the beginning, Sulack, the mysterious creator, built the world of ScrubCraft in ways no one fully understands. To protect his creation, he placed a barrier that covered 10,000 blocks in every direction from the center of the world. At the heart of this region, Sulack created Modtown, a thriving marketplace led by his trusted follower, Kcalus. Modtown quickly became the central hub for trade and activity in the growing world.
Over time, a figure named JstormFL appeared. No one knew much about his past, but he soon gained followers and founded the Kingdom of Jenava, located south of the Bay of Epirus. Along with his kingdom, JstormFL built a church dedicated to his teachings, spreading his influence. The Bay of Epirus later became the site of a significant event when Sulack summoned the grand Tower of Spawn, a towering structure that still stands as a symbol of his power.
Soon after, another player, Ben2790, joined the world. With help from Wither, Ben established the nation of Copotia. Unfortunately, Copotia’s existence was short-lived. The nation faced constant attacks from terrorists like MinnietheCat1 and RickMC, who looted and caused chaos. The repeated invasions forced Copotia to collapse, and the survivors fled to Wither’s hidden mansion in the east. There, they built a small village to try to reconnect with other members of Copotia. However, the peace didn’t last long. MinnietheCat1 launched another attack, burning the village to the ground and leaving only the mansion standing.
Determined to fight back, Ben2790 led the remaining Copotian Exiles beyond Sulack’s protected barrier into the wild lands. In the snowy tundra, they founded Area 52, a military base where they began working on a secret weapon to stop MinnietheCat. After months of research, they developed an ICBM nuclear weapon. However, they couldn’t find a safe place to test it, so it stayed locked away in a silo. Despite this, the exiles expanded their efforts, establishing Area 53 near the Bay of Epirus and Area 54, a hidden mountain stronghold. Yet, time took its toll, and many of the exiles didn’t survive long enough to see their plans succeed.
Meanwhile, the War of the Axes broke out. The Kingdom of Fridea fought against MinnietheCat’s terror group, which was supported by his ally, 11Ninjas. The war was brutal, lasting six months and resulting in heavy losses. During the conflict, Minnie’s forces assassinated Syntax of Syntaxia, pulling his followers into the war. Jenava also became involved, clashing directly with Minnie’s group. Despite the chaos, Jenava used the opportunity to expand its empire, building new cities and gaining control over smaller states.
Amid the fighting, a mysterious individual founded Eclipse Haven, a refuge for people displaced by the War of the Axes. Located just south of Jenava, this sanctuary provided safety for many. However, Eclipse Haven depended on Jenava’s protection and was closely tied to the empire’s fate during the war.
The constant violence made it almost impossible for new players to settle in ScrubCraft without being targeted by the terrorists. However, the Copotian Exiles struck a major blow by infiltrating RickMC’s camp. A spy gathered valuable information, which led to a successful raid and the killing of RickMC.
With one terrorist eliminated, the allies turned their attention to MinnieTheCat. They launched a relentless campaign, tracking Minnie’s every move. The pressure mounted, and Sulack eventually exiled MinnieTheCat and 11Ninjas from the protected 10,000-block region. Believing they were safe, the pair hid their base far in the uncharted wilderness. But Minnie made critical mistakes, including using dark magic to duplicate items. This left a trail that Jenava’s forces followed to locate the hidden base.
Realizing the opportunity, JstormFL approached the Copotian Exiles at Area 52. He asked them to use their nuclear weapon to destroy MinnieTheCat’s stronghold. With Ben and Joshtin1 leading the decision, the exiles agreed and prepared the missile. They launched the nuke and traveled with Jenava’s entourage to witness the event. When they arrived, they saw the massive explosion that obliterated Minnie’s base.
After the attack, MinnieTheCat1 and 11Ninjas were captured and imprisoned in Jenava. Following a period of deliberation, it was decided that they would be executed by being burned at the stake. Their fiery execution marked the end of their reign of terror and brought hope back to the people of ScrubCraft.
