Pixellia is the main world that the server started out with and still uses to this day. The vast majority of player builds occupy this world.
Description
New players 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.
Each direction in the main world 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 1.6 update, but it is mainly used only for glowstone mining and as a railway system.
After the Great Ore Corruption, the server was given a sub-world for mining purposes. This Ore World can be reached by means of a portal north of spawn.
History
Pixellia has gone through many an ordeal, whether they be intentional or not.
- On the 26th of May, 1.6 caused the world to be unplayable for a short time. Players had to convene in the 1.6 Vanilla World until it started working again.
- On the 30th of July, the Shroomageddon event took place, and many structures were mushroomified.
- On the 4th of August, the Great Biome Corruption happened, causing mass climate change (global wubble) in all regions. This has since been reverted.
- On the 19th of August, the Great Ore Corruption happened, causing all undiscovered ore to vanish forever from the world and crashing the server for a considerable amount of time.
- On the 25th of August, when Cubic Worlds went back online, the name of the world was changed from 'world' to 'pixellia'.
- On the 27th of August, the Arachnid Storm event took place on this world. The remnants of which are located at the Great Library.
Fate
This world might fall into disuse after Beta 1.8 is released, due to the promised new terrain features. Some of the buildings from this world may be transferred over to the new world, and the seed for the old world will be made available for people to explore the world in Single Player, or use it on their own servers.
However, if the Multiworld plugin works well, the world will still be played on after the update. It will simply be shoved back into sub-world status for people to explore every once in a while.
