Pixellia was the main world that the server started out with, before New Avalon was established. The vast majority of player builds still occupy this world.
Description
New players would start in Greenview Plaza, the first structure built on the world. From there, they will be immediately swamped in many of the structures that various players have built. All the land around the central plaza within at least a 300x300 radius is completely occupied with various structures and attractions. Once the player has moved out of this range, the building density will decrease until there is unoccupied land once again.
Greenview Rail Station provides rail service from Greenview to faraway villages and towns.
Each direction in the Pixellia seems to lead to distinct biomes. Going north will eventually lead the player into snowy terrain, east leads them to dense forests, west takes them out to open plains, and South leads to deserts. There are also many oceans located mainly north and south of spawn.
This world was given a Nether after the Beta-1.6 update, but it was mainly used only for glowstone mining and as a railway system.
After the server updated to Beta-1.8, a sub-world was made to allow players to explore the new features. This 1.8 Test World was able to be reached by means of a portal north of spawn.
