8k,1k

8k,1k was a base made in early-August of 2020. Originally created by CoopVerm10 and Angelfamily2, the realm also boasted the beginnings of multiple well-known characters like CNKxFOOL and lanematteson420. Although no pictures were able to be recovered of this base, we have many sources who can provide stories about this base.

The Beginnings
After boating across a sea for thousands of blocks, CoopVerm10 and Angelfamily2 finally arrive at a cozy birch forest and head inland to a small plains biome and settle in a half-submerged cave in early-August. After living off the land for quite some time, they finally were able to get some diamonds and live a pretty good life while still maintaining their little cave home.

Panzer, Masher, and the Age of Immigration
Masher007 and Panzer806069, tired of living at spawn in a tiny birch wood house, finally decide to get away from it all and ask around to try and join a team. After getting ahold of Angelfamily2, Masher007 and Panzer806069 are able to get the coordinates and begin heading towards the base. After arriving, a cobblestone castle is constructed by the two immigrants and it overlooks the valley below, containing the half-submerged cave.

The next day, Angelfamily2 decided to invite more people to the beautiful base they owned. As many as ten people made the dangerous trek across the ocean in the rain, only few survived. A notable case was when a player whos name has been forgotten, made the dangerous trek across the sea, stole a precious item, and left the game for good. A notable player who joined during this era was CNKxFOOL.

The Downfall and The War
Eventually, the large influx of people slowly diminished as Angelfamily2 had to deal with more and more people griefing and stealing from the base. Eventually this lead to a fight breaking out between CNKxFOOL and Angelfamily2. This was the first of many fights that were to come during this era. Things really began to escalate when half of someone's house was blown up during a freak accident, the two unknown players began to take it out on other people, causing burnings of houses and flags. And on the night of the 7th of August, a large battle broke out between most players of the clan. Many people died and whoever survived was able to flee and start new clans and bases. A notable player who joined during this era was lanematteson420.

Half-Submerged Cave
Originally discovered in the beginning, most meetings and fights usually started here as the cave was the center of most houses, the fights just always ended up here. Between it being a living space for multiple people, and the area around it being a hotspot for many fights, there's no doubt about this feature being a key part of 8k,1k.

The Castle
Constructed from cobblestone and oak planks by Panzer806069 and Masher007, The Castle was situated on a oak forest hill, overlooking the valley. It featured a sweet berry farm, a storage room, a secret room in the basement, and a farm in the basement. There were multiple houses near to here. The Castle was exploded with TNT and burned with fire and lava the morning after The War.
