The Origins Of Minetown
At first, There was nothing.
And then, there was everything.
Worlds, Planets, and entire Universes formed in the blink of they eye.
And so our story begins... on a small, blue planet. Orbiting a yellow, unremarkable star. On whom a man named Notch lived. He had discovered the power to create his own
universe, to prove it was possible. To correct all the flaws of his race and show there was more to them then was thought. And in that instant, another universe was formed,
entirely made out of blocks. Multiple worlds, all Inhabited by nothing but the simplest of creatures; from Sheeps and Pigs, to Spiders and Creepers; taken from his original
home to remind himself of everything that he would never be able to return to.
One such world, located on the distant rim of this universe, flourished, much like it's sister planets. Trees provided shade and protection for the creatures, and monsters
alike that roamed free. Oceans covered the world, home to new species of Fish, Squid, and Octopi that were never before seen. Deserts and Cacti dotted the wastelands,
where large volcano and great seas of lava stretched for as far as the eye could see, and were ruled over by the Ghasts and Pigmen.
Yet this untouched world was not destined to stay pristine. For unbeknownst to any, something would happen that would change the planet forever. And that was a rocket,
from the deepest, darkest reaches of space. Triangular in shape, it raced towards the planet in a bid of freedom. For you see, A long time ago, The Deity Cody had been banished
from his own planet for crimes unknown. He drifted through the universe in his ship of a prison, furious, until he reached this beautiful, blocky world. Caught in the planet's
gravity well, he descended, his rocket tumbling through the atmosphere as a bright yellowish/red light with such speed, that when it smashed into the ground, with such
tremendous force, it caused dirt to fly everywhere, stone being blown to bits in the impact. Pigs were launched into the sky, and sheep lost their wool from sheer shock. A
crater, 300 blocks wide, was dug into the ground. Earthquakes spread all over the planet, and caused the wastelands and great lava seas to be swallowed into the core of
the planet, their inhabitants doomed to a meaningless existence.
Smoke billowed out of the crater, from the ship's outer-hull, red hot and steaming from contact with the cool air of the planet. A circular door opened, and an arm reached out,
grasping at freedom.
Cody pulled himself from the wreck, and surveyed the area around him, much damage had been done, the planet was in chaos. He decided to use all his godly might to create
his own idea of a world on this planet. And he named it Minetown.
But it needed a protector, to ensure the planet was never harmed again. An so, he did such. Sawine was created to protect the glorious planet Cody had remade, and to do such
a task Cody had granted Sawine the gift of Cody's only tool and weapon, the ban-hammer.
For decades, Sawine protected the planet in Cody's name, with nothing new or exciting ever happening. Until by chance, another space ship, a colony exploration vessel,
descended from the sky, landing on this world, in hopes of claiming it. That ship was the S.S Independence.
