General information
Established:December 26th, 2019
Status:Inactive

Wendover is a large town located in and around several big chunk errors. It was founded in late December 2019 by 16.png JulekJulas. The town was home to almost 80 players until JVillage was introduced and decreased the town to around 10-15 players. The town now currently has 23 members.

History

On 26 December 2019. A player named 16.png JulekJulas founded a town and decided to call it Wendover. The town was located on an island in the middle of a lake surrounded in all directions by chunk errors. The town wouldn't gain much traction untill a couple of days later.

Growth

2 days later, a server frequent at the time, 16.png alephcake (who was then called 16.png cakedon), would join Wendover. He would build a house and start making basic infrastructural work around the town. He would also alongside 16.png JulekJulas advertise the town, resulting in a lot of new players joining. In early January 2020, the town had around 25 members, and was the most active town on the server at the time, frequenting around 3-5 players active at any given time. The town has grew out of the main island and expanded onto the walls and hills of the surrounding chunk errors.

Inactivity

Since late 2020, the town is very inactive, with occasional appearances of the founders, 16.png JulekJulas and 16.png alephcake (who is usually more active).

Important landmarks

JulekJulas's House

Julek's House

16.png JulekJulas’s house was the first structure built in Wendover. It's a big wooden house with wooden roof. It consists of a basement, where 16.png JulekJulas's personal items are located, a room with chests inside, and an attic, where a stash of bread was located, now it's empty, but offers an entrance to a balcony.

Wendover Storage Unit

Wendover Storage Unit is a big wooden chest located outside 16.png JulekJulas's house. It holds chests with items, food, and resources accessible by every citizen.

alephcake's House

16.png alephcake's house is located near 16.png JulekJulas's house. It's a small shack made out of wooden and stone materials. Inside, there are a couple of chests and furnaces along 16.png alephcake's personal bed. It was supposed to be a church, but it was later decided to build a small hut. A church was built on a hill overlooking the town instead.

Wendover Ice Lake

Wendover Ice Lake.

Wendover is located on an island located on a frozen lake. A lot of houses and huts have been built around it, alongside bridges and pathways. No one really knows why the lake is covered in ice - It's located near warm forests and plains.

Wendover Shades

Wendover Shades is a big cobblestone platform above Wendover’s main part. Underneath, there are a couple of apartments and a tree farm, called the SkyTown (not to be confused with the RetroMC town known as SkyTown).

The Tree

The Tree is a big tree located to the north-west of Wendover. It was built by the player 16.png thomas98 in late December 2019. The tree was and still is the biggest monument of Wendover. It was griefed by an unknown player in the beginning of 2020, but was restored by the citizens soon after. It's made out of oak and spruce logs, slabs, planks, glowstone, leaves and fences.

Districts

Wendover is divided into different districts. All of them are connected to each other, and all of them have one main landmark.

Wendover Central

Wendover Central is the oldest district in the town. Its main landmark is 16.png JulekJulas's house. It consists of many early builds, like 16.png alephcake's house, 16.png concobhar's mansion, and the storage unit. This is generally the least frequently changed region.
