Avalon (Also known as the 1.8 Test World) was a sub-world set up after the server updated to Bukkit 1.8 RB. It could be reached via brick portal in Pixellia north of spawn, facing the chest recovery station.
Description
This world was set up to allow players who hadn't updated to 1.8 before this time to experience the new features of 1.8 on the server. It is a fresh map that contains all the goodies that came with the 1.8 update, including Strongholds, NPC Villages, Mine-shafts, and ravines.
The first build was a small public shelter set up by Tomousee with help from Flappyflap. Although nothing special it did provide shelter for people entering the new world for the first time.
Since then the building on Avalon has quite literally mushroomed into whole villages and towns solely consisting of mushroom houses. These houses being relatively easy and cheap to make are quite different to many other builds throughout the whole of cubic worlds.
Demise
This world was removed during the period between the Great Switch and the official release of Minecraft.
However Zolyx has now decided that any builds in the new 1.8 world are eligible for transfer to the new world, which may come as a relief for some players.
