>>7214281Starting off with the earliest recorded era: October 2017, Version 1.12.2, we begin not with /bant/craft, but the /bant/lands, which was a map with all-vanilla gameplay, with the additional caveat of roguelike dungeons being generated using a custom script later down the line. It was fun, and it was frequented by many oldfags that would later become legends, and also the beginnings of the Cirno flag, a contribution from the now long-missing Niner of the /bant/ OG, whilst being promoted by Yuyukow, the originator of the /bant/ newspaper system. It was pretty fun on its own, but the lack of protections meant that griefing was rampant, and if you were stupid enough to build things out of wood then it wasn't a matter of if someone would burn the place down, but when.
Few people tried to make settlements, and construction projects were scattered across the map to ensure ner-do-wellers had a minimal chance of discovering and plundering them.
