A.M.B.E.R. (Anti-Mushroom Bureau of Environmental Restoration) - agency operating across all Minecraft realms with their respective headquartes on RetroMC. Main building is placed in the town of Nebuley (X: 13276, Z: 10764), right next to Miner's Guild. It was built by initiative of 16.png ZEROCONDA to bring agency's services to the server.

Origin

A.M.B.E.R. began as an intiative of Sir Mash Rum that has been focusing on fungi research. Noticable effort was forged into a new organisation, being funded by the scientist in its entirety. His vast knowledge in biology and chemistry not only secured two Cobble Prizes, but also helped to advance into unknown territory of the fungi. Years of dedication and hard work lead to promising yet shocking discoveries. It turned out that mushroom are not as innocent as they seem to be and in reality they are fast spreading floral predators that feed on organic beings (excluding players).

Dirtbreaking discovery ensured Sir Mash Rum that his agency needs to take action beyond scientific field. In order to respond to the growing threat of fungi infestation, he formed IRTF (Immediate Response Task Force) in 80 BSS (Before Server Start). New division opened new posibilities, which allowed to contain the outbreak and prevent fungi contamination. Unfortunately, his health got worse and he passed in 62 BSS leaving the fate of the agency in his son's - Sir Phunguy Sh. Rum - hands.

In year 9 PSS (Post-Server Start) a player and official member of the agency - 16.png ZEROCONDA - settled down in town of Nebuley and constructed main headquarters in the region. The department remained idle until 11 PSS, when an annoucement thread had been created on RetroMC's Discord. On 19th February 2025, the agency officialy began to operate. In following days, that is 22nd February 2025, agency performed first task of clearing the Nether spawn area from the overgrowth.

Longterm goals & Rules

A.M.B.E.R. took the responsibility of cleansing the world from the netherspawn (fungi). To work efficiently, the agency formed clear longterm goals:

  • Preventing mushroom colonies from spreading in unhabited areas of the server,
  • Educating players about dangers of mushroom infestation,
  • Inviting new members to participate in the project.

Along with goals came rules. Good intentions still must be acted on in the boundaries of the server's law. Though the RetroMC's rules serve as a principle and have direct authority over our actions, we formed simple rules for our members to follow:

1. We must destroy every wild mushroom colony, no matter its size.
2. Player-made mushroom farms can't be destroyed as it is considered griefing.
3. Being a member is voluntary and everyone can quit at any time.
4. Membership is free.
5. We are bound to help each other.
6. Our service is free.
