History

Foundation

The town of Sumy was founded on the 14th of April, 2025. It was founded by iam_sky7 (known as Sky).

Early architecture

In the early period of Kaniw, it was based on an existing building that had taken 6 chunks, right by the Dnipro river, where the current Kaniw Town Assembely stands. This was the main building of Kaniw for up til the first week of the town's existance. Enbankments for the Dnipro river have been created in the first 1-3 days, alongside projects to fix the rugged terrain that had existed in the area. Attempts were also made to restore the then called "Court of Dnieper" - the house where the town was founded - to a more usable state, as it had layed out of any town claims since atleast November 2022, which had lead it to accumilate damages from various lootings of the building by people passing by, expecially with the town's proximity with Kyiv.

Development of Kaniw shop

Not soon after Kaniw grew comfortably enough for bigger buildings, the first Kaniw shop opened up. Being just 2 chunks out from Kaniw's founding place, the shop was a measly diorite/calcite/quartz build with an oxidised copper roof. Although this proto-shop didn't bring significant revenues into Kaniw, it set a president for larger shops with more items to be setup all across the town.

Development of the Kaniw redstone computer

In late November, doytschReal bought 6 chunks to Kaniw, fully reserved for a construction of a 4-bit redstone computer (more info here!. Without external investments, this project was fully funded by the town of Kaniw, which by this point was solely governed by doytsch. This project has gone through many iterations, with the 6 chunk area eventually being escuvated to prevent it being an eye-sour to the surface.

Development North of the Dnipro river

Starting in December 3, Kaniw began expanding north of the Dnipro river, with 2 bridges being planned to connect the two parts of Kaniw, split by the grand Dnipro. The 8 chunk area has been escuvated to river-level by doytschReal, preparing for Kaniw's development to expand northwards in order to relieve the over-crowdedness on the southern bank of the river.

Kaniw-Kaniv deal

In order to prevent the confusion between the town of Kaniw and the town of Kaniv, doytschReal made an offer with the mayor of Kaniv, to rebrand his town to the more appropiately named "Vinnytsia", and for the mayor to be granted a plot in Kaniw to construct an embassy on.

December 2023

Kaniw had grewn from being an insignificant settlement in between two larger towns (Kyiv & Cherkassy) to the largest city (by population) in Ukraine. Many projects such as the 3x2 chunk Kaniw assembely, 3x2 chunk Redstone computer and several apartment buildings are still in progress in the town, with the further growth of Kaniw not seeming to stop soon.

A new bridge, called "Днипро-Каневский Мост" (Dnipro-Kaniw bridge) was constructed on the 4th of December 2023, connecting the overcrowded southern Kaniw to the newly claimed northern Kaniw territory, with several more bridges planned for the further connection and settlementation of the new territory.

decline of Kaniw (December 2023 -> January 2024)

In this era, the mayor doytschReal partially quit playing EMC, and with that, so did most of the residents of Kaniw, in the 5 weeks of inactivity, Kaniw's population dropped from a sizable 23 to a shocking 7 residents, although it has been steadiliy rising back following doytsch's return on the 29th of January 2024.

As of the 27th of February, the population of Kaniw has reached its highest ever, 42, a 6 fold increase from late January.

reconstruction & replanning of Central Kaniw

With doytschReal coming back to govern Kaniw, the population grown from a small 7 residents to a respectable 21 members. Starting @ 2nd of February 2024, the Kaniw marketplace, Kaniw spawn market and Kaniw harbour were all demolished in order to fit for a more orginized city plan. The Kanievan Apartment Complex, alongside the (in construction as of 3/feb) Zalitna Casino, would begin to use up the space previously allocated to the now, mostly abonded, Kaniw Redstone Computer project. The Kanievan Apartment Complex in particullarly grow to house around 7 unique residents in the first 2 days of servicing.

Looting of Kaniw [May 2024]

Several high-value items were looted from Kaniw during the Mayor's inactivity, including 6 player heads, 10 or so beacons, any gold stored in chests, doytschReal's entire gold balance and even the large map of Ukraine and Kaniw that was hosted in the town's /t spawn. Since then the mayor had been inactive. The player behind these lootings has not been uncovered and it does not follow under the "greifing rule" as valuable items aren't protected. This also comes to suprise with how there was no one trusted in Kaniw who's been active during the time of the looting, and town permissions weren't broken, so the permission backdoor that allowed the mischeif to steal hasn't been uncovered and may never be.

Borders

Kaniw is defined not only by the vast Dnipro river running through it, but also her extensive border with the neighbouring town of Cherkassy. In the 29th of November, the leaders of Kaniw and Cherkassy met together to draw a border, set on a road that had existed in the area for over a year, which Cherkassy and Kaniw then quickly moved to claim their side of the border.

Borders with Kyiv are not yet stated (and should not yet be a problem), but the town is prioritizing making settlement north of the Dnipro, which the plan for Мост Каниев seaks to provide.
