Castle Ood

Location (x=-878,z=-2221)

The Castle Ood is an enormous hexagonal castle under construction by Masternoj in the wilds of Voxellia.

It was initially begun in the world of Avalon, and moved in its entirety to the new realm of Voxellia in early 2014.

The Castle Ood will be built mostly of stone brick, with high crenellated walls, elaborate towers at each corner, and will contain a large central keep, a throne room, and vast gardens.

The land for the Castle Ood has been completely leveled, and the exterior walls and towers have been completed.

At present, the framework for the central tower is being constructed.

Features

The predominant feature of the Castle Ood is its immense size and irregular shape- spanning 440 blocks at its widest point, in a close to a perfect hexagon as is possible in Minecraft.

The castle grounds, at present, contain nothing more than the initial claim tower, the storage house, a large tree farm, and the displaced Tower of Antigravity.

The flat walls on the Northern and Southern edges of the castle contain the only two gates- stretching nearly as high as the walls, each complete with a portcullis. The North Gate will remain open.

Each of the six border towers has a unique elemental theme and ornamental flag color:

  • Red: The Tower of Fire
  • Blue: The Tower of Water
  • Green: The Tower of Earth
  • Black: The Tower of Darkness
  • White: The Tower of Light
  • Purple: The Tower of Aether

Beneath the soil of the castle grounds lie vast underground farms and animal pens, the most prominent of which is the automatic wheat farm that Masternoj initially built in Pixellia.

History

The initial idea for the Castle Ood was conceived in the fall of 2011, and was developed through a few months.

The site for the build was found in December of 2011, and terraforming was completed in mid-June 2012.
