Devachan

Devachan was a map being run on the 7chan Minecraft server.

Landmark Structures
Devachan was home to numerous communities, superstructures and works of art. Not all landmarks can be accessed via. /warp. Many structures made comebacks in Nirvana.


 * The Spawn - Central plaza in which the /spawn is located. Built by the server administration team.


 * Farmworks - Communal facility for the harvest and growth of things like reeds, wood and wheat. Built by the community in general, spearheaded by server administration.


 * Servchester - The original large city of skyscrapers, built by Serv. For added props, Serv also built a Kiev bomb-zepplin in the air next to his city.
 * Mystery - A strange structure built by Mr_e_s, this strange, cuboid tower extended from the bedrock of the world to about half-way between sea-level and the sky. The original purpose was to be a series of puzzles, but sadly, was never truly completed.


 * Rapture - Like the Bioshock counterpart, a town underwater.
 * morshu's boathouse - A big, wooden boat-house on the water, not too far from spawn. Sadly, the materials used (wood) made it a very easy and obvious target for griefers, prior to restrictions on grief-materials.

Transport
Devachan made heavy use of /warps and most projects had one. Minecarts were slated to work during the map's lifetime, but this was not the case, and the server never saw truly working minecarts, condemning the Devachan railway to immediate mothballing, never to be used.

Stability
Devachan existed during a very turbulent time, from the release of SMP, all the way through to past the Halloween Update. As such, glitches and problems were rife, and commonplace. Lag was also prevalent, being blamed on "shitty netcode".

Firsts
Devachan was the first 7chan minecraft SMP map, so many "Alpha" features were introduced to multiplayer, such as chests, crafting and doors. Many of these things did not work at first implementation. Furnaces were a bug which plagued the server throughout the entirety of this map's life.
