Pearldegrinis Castle is the private residence of Cubic Worlds player Birdtross. Set back 100 blocks from the eastern New Avalon Spawn border, the Castle often attracts attention from travelling adventurers, and many have stopped to simply admire it.
This build is a classic example of Birdtross's "Build as you go!" philosophy. Barely and pre-planning occurred and most exterior cosmetic decisions were made on site.
Construction
The outer wall was the first established construction (for mob security reasons) andcomprised entirely of wooden planks. Over time this was polished into its final form of logs, fences and stone bricks. The rest of the build follows on from this simple, yet attracting, pattern and is present on the inner wall and most of the interior.
The main goal with this castle was to keep it small and give most locations a strategic purpose, not necessarily from a cosmetic perspective, but rather than a Minecraft functional perspective. The turrets spaced along the outer wall provide an excellent view of the surrounding mountains and sea. Perhaps the only cosmetic luxury occurs in the first floor of the main building, and takes the form of a dining table. A completely worthless feature in this writer's opinion, but nonetheless stands to this day. The crafting area below ground level remains the biggest room in the castle, and storage space is expanded as necessary.
Notable Features
The castle is home most horticultural plants. Deliberately set to full manual harvests, these farms provide a welcome source of exotic pumpkin and melon seeds for newer Members. 3 Sheep also make their home here in 'glitch-escape proof' quarters.
Trivia
- The small cobblestone and dirt construct in front of the castle was made by users Kwarvek and Emily2000 and has stood in this fashion for longer than this Castle has been standing. This writer therefore believes the users have become inactive. - Birdtross's first ever enchantment was imbued here, onto a diamond pickaxe. It was level 50 and was Efficiency 4, Unbreaking 3, Fortune 3.
