NoggisoggiW.I.P obviously, so events may not be complete.
The text written is not verbatim; corrections will be made wherever possible.
Pilot1218, formerly CommandPrompter, also helped clarify some details, especially in its early days.

November 13th 2022 till December
Pilot1218 (then CommandPrompter) felt like his old town, SmileyTown (formerly perkeland) was unrevivable and thus, gave ownership to
PavuMC, so as to free Pilot from the chains of his old town (Back then, Towny limited players to only join 1 town at a time.) and to embark on another journey to establish a new town. To assist in achiving this goal, Pilot employed
Noggisoggi.
Pilot preferred the location of the town to be nearby a world border and not inside of a snow biome. After a day of adventuring through RMC's landscapes, they found a hill nearby a coast and a world border. While deciding on whether (or not) to keep searching, Noggi told Pilot a quote from George S. Patton Jr.: A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed at some indefinite time in the future.
soggyInternetBrane (sIBr) was thus formed with these intial builds:
- An info board (made on 19th November)
- A semi-replica of Noggisoggi's base, soggyBrane (built on 17th Nov)
- Pilot1218's base (built on 18th Nov)
- Pilot's pixel art of Mario from Super Mario Brothers for the NES/Famicom
On the 18th of November,
Karl took a look at the town, and marked the border between sIBr and the inaccessible lands.
On the 23rd, Pilot and Noggi excavated underneath ObsidianCore, and made the Underground Section. It was initially conceived as an apartment, but that idea was later scrapped.
Basic info about sIBr was added there, alongside a corridor for the rooms, a wheat farm, a public mine (those last 2 were made on the 27th of November and have been closed to the public), and a personal computer room was built by Noggi inside one of the rooms (made from 25th Nov to 12th Dec).
The initial StarGates were linked between sIBr and sp00kySpider, a fancy-looking spider spawner. The gate at sIBr was shaped like sp00kySpider's entrance.
December 2022, and early 2023
10th December marked the first in a series of changes regarding the town's goals and motives.
Pilot and Noggi changed the name of the the town from soggyInternetBrane (sIBr) to ObsidianCore (ObCo) as it sounded cooler to both of them (and to
Orknarok_666 as well).
The next major build idea appeared in Noggi's mind during this time: a lounge in the Skylands, with a tavern, park & library, all in one island. Between 14th December 2022 and the 29th March of 2023, progress was slow yet steady; the hall, park, and tavern had their basic decoration & structure made. The insides of the tavern were furnished with a ceiling made of snow, and walls made out of wood logs. In March 2023, a restroom was added to the lounge, alongside a makeover of the lobby (walls made out of wool; glowstone in place of torches).
The StarGate in that same room has a missing texture pattern applied to its background; glowstone was embedded into the floor outside the lobby. In the park, a robotic lion with a figure riding it was made (christened Sphurnace by
cakedon), alongside a table with benches, a standalone bench, and a fountain; foliage was added wherever possible. With the last few lamp posts and the addition of the tree golem shrine, Noggi considered the lounge complete.
During the aforementioned time frame, several events occured:
- CzTeddy joined ObsidianCore on December 14th of 2022 and was promoted to assistant after Pilot begged him to join for months.
- CzTeddy built his house of book(shelves) on 3rd March of 2023; and Noggisoggi requested Pilot to give ownership of ObCo to the former that same day.
- TheFurryShark took a partial look at ObCo, and gifted a gold block (nearby the underground section's entrance, upon which, Noggi built a beacon out of glass, iron and diamond blocks.
- Noggisoggi built an inflexible diving board on 29th March, and that same day, the sp00kySpider exterior at the gate was removed in place of a covering made of smooth stone slabs and bricks.
- A spawner toggle was implemented into sp00kySpider a while after pistons were re-enabled (17th March 2023).
Noggi made a Nether portal nearby the StarGate and claimed one of the flat areas inside the other dimension, and started building a landfill on 3rd May of 2023.
Progress was stalled due to an absence of productivity & motivation, until late June, when Noggi started work on it once more.
A StarGate was made there after adding stuff to it and after finishing the final touches on July 1st.
