History
Terra Aurora
JPPAS (back then known as "TheCoolFolder") joined Terra Aurora on the 11th of August, 2022. Along with that, this was also his first time playing EarthMC, leading him to only play for about one or two weeks before leavingdue to a lack of interest and understanding of the game.
Little information is left from this period, it is known that he spawned somewhere in the african wilderness. There he had explored, mined and survived for a brief amount of time before travelling to and founding a town somewhere in Ukraine at the shore of the Dniepr river. The exact location, date of founding and name of this town are unknown and almost no definitive information about it is available.
After its formation, this town was not expanded past one chunk (as even 64 gold was hard for him to amass) and abandoned soon after its founding, as JPPAS left. Not to return for almost four years.
Terra Nostra
First towns and initial experiences
JPPAS first joined Nostra on the 24th of June, 2026. He first spawned in a similar location to his Aurora debut, likely somewhere in the southern part of Africa. This time he did not spend much time exploring while townless however, as he soon joined the town of Madrid, the capital of the Spanish kingdom. He did not spend much time in his first town, as he left due to what he perceived as (minor) inhospitability from local residents.
Soon after leaving Madrid, he joined his next town which was located somewhere in the Basin and Range region, in either Arizona or Utah. He specifically looked for a town to join in this region due to its proximity to the badlands biome, where he hoped to mine for gold as he didn't yet know that the badlands didn't have the same gold spawn rate boost as they do in vanilla Minecraft. This town was part of the Navajo nation (before its renaming to Arizona).
After realizing that gold is distributed at the same rates in the badlands as anywhere else, he didn't have a real reason to stay there any longer. However he did not leave immediately for that reason.
Rather, he left following an incident which allegedly involved him commiting an act of terrorsim by blowing up another player's house after stealing multiple pieces of mapart from it due to having his plot seized by the mayor. It is unknown how accurate this theory is.
His third town was Torun, PLC, as he joined it after seeing its mayor, Xi Huber Jinping, recruiting for it in chat.
JPPAS was impressed by the size and scale of this town and its buildings, unlike any he has been in before. He decided to settle down in this town and continue his mining operations from an apartment in it that he was received from Huber. He stayed longer in this town than the previous two due to mayor's nice demeanor and the convenience of living in an apartment.
Discovery of the ruins of BoberTown and formation of Zawichost
Despite liking Torun, JPPAS still had the sole goal of creating his own town. However, his stay in Torun did lead to him deciding to stay within the nation/general region of the PLC and influenced the location of his next town, as he noticed the ruins of BoberTown down the Vistula not so far away from Torun.
He visited the ruins and liked the architecture that was still in tact, leading him to decide tobase his new town upon the ruins of this one.
Some buildings still remained from the time of BoberTown when JPPAS came to find it. For example, Tthe mayor's large house in the centre, a tower of some kind, a small spawnroom over the river, and some old roads.
He carefully moved all of his belongings into hidden barrels at BoberTown before abandoning his flat at Torun and finally founding his very first own town. He named it after a Polish city located nearby (not exactly at the same place, but he liked the name so he chose Zawichost). In total he only spent 5 days playing on the server before creating Zawichost.
The Zawichost era
JPPAS was mayor of Zawichost from the 29th of June to early September of 2026, reigning over it for over 2 months. During this time, many things happened. Over the spawn of JPPAS' mayorship, Zawichost peaked at 19 residents and 83 chunks. It used to have a Discord server, and JPPAS had formed close bonds with many of his residents. The town was gradually developed, building apartment blocks, houses, improved roads, a shop/market, and many more beautiful works of architecture, sometimes with the help of his residents.
During its recruiting efforts, the town gave a set of diamond armor/tools and a plot to any player who joined. JPPAS later reconsidered this approach and started putting more effort into quarters, as plots take away much space and new players often aren't very good at building.
Soon after the formation of the town, JPPAS had made an effort to connect with neighboring towns and mayors, such as Sanok, Nowa Slupia and Gora Kalwaria. This had positive results, leading to formations of lasting relationships and connections. The town made alliances with other towns and engaged in inter-town cooperation
Participation in the PLC's July elections
JPPAS took part in the second Grand Chancellor elections of the PLC on the behalf of his ally, SalmonMaciek, running and campaigning in his place as he was on vacation. SalmonMaciek ran largely on the grounds of support for christianity and government support for cooperation between towns. Despite their combined efforts, they ended up in third place of the elections, gaining around 10% of all votes.
JPPAS also had applied for membership of the PLC's sejm (parliament), which was assembled right after the elections for the GC concluded. He was granted a seat and was allowed to vote upon, suggest and discuss various proposals for the improvement of the nation. He held this position until his later exit from the country.
Interesting connections
In August, JPPAS had applied to ta
ke part in the planned first National Jousting Match of the PLC. Organized by Ballady, the event had failed spectacularly as it was impossible for the combatants (them being JPPAS and Wolhf, a renowned pvper and hunter) to hit each other due to the tremendous lagging in that part of the world.
Also around a similar time, JPPAS had acquainted with Youtuber/streamer Dan Sher, who also happened to be the director of Neptune, through a shared friend. They visited each other's towns and even signed a symbolic/nominal treaty of alliance between their towns, Zawichost and Neptune.
JPPAS greatly enjoyed the town of Neptune, often visiting it, supporting Sher from time to time and building in his plots. Eventually he would even temporarily live there (will be expanded upon later).
The sale(s) of Zawichost
As of late August of 2026, JPPAS had already largely lost interest in Zawichost and barely interacted with it anymore. For this reason (among multiple others that will go unmentioned), he arranged a deal and sold his town to his friend and former resident, dino2255435, for a sum of 300g. He could've looked for a buyer and sold it for more, but he decided upon selling it to his friend for cheaper due to a desire to get rid of it sooner.
Despite his expectations, Zawichost was not to stay in Dino's hands. Who, in what is truly an interesting move, sold it to another of JPPAS' former friends and former residents, YL0O, for a total of 80g. YL0O did not buy this town out of good will. Instead, he bought it in order to resell it for a higher price to another player. JPPAS was midly upset by this, as he was hoping that the town could be kept in a resident's hands to preserve its integrity and the preservation of its history and builds.
A player by the name of RredEyedJedi was considering acquiring the town, but YL0O ending up selling the town to a respected member of the PLC's government, Eggz_on_Toast, who bought it for more than 380g with the goal of preventing it from being taken by another nation. He kept the town for about 2 days before transferring it to a trusted player, the name of which has been lost to time. Some time after this, the mayorship of the town had changed hands from said player to a newer resident named oz1un for an unknown reason. It does not seem like the town had physically changed in any significant way since JPPAS sold it.
Post-sale (townless)
Before selling the town, JPPAS moved all of his belongings from Zawichost to Sanok, the town owned by AquaLikeWater. Despite this, he did not live in Sanok, rather, he kept switching between Dan Sher's Neptune and Ballady's Plock.
He lived without his own town for a few weeks. He used this opportunity to travel to various towns that he couldn't otherwise through joining them. Not much notable happened during this period otherwise.
Soon he saw a player selling a 300-chunk town called Tyumen on the EarthMC discord forum, which caught his attention due to its position and size.
Tyumen
The purchase of Tyumen and first impressions
JPPAS contemplated buying the town. In the end, he decided that it was worth it and ended up offering 500g, to which the seller agreed. He quickly moved most of his belongings from Sanok to Tyumen. Not all of them, as Aqua of Sanok could not manage to enable Outsider Spawn and JPPAS had to make numerous trips from Nowa Slupia to Sanok in order to get his items.
Despite its size and position that interested him, the actual town was very lacking and visually unappealing. There are countless logs left over from deforestation floating in the sky, which would be an absolute nightmare to manually remove. The town was filled with horribly-built ruins and hideous houses. Over the next few days, JPPAS cleared up the builds and decided to leave the logs be until further notice.
He largely took a break from EMC and barely interacted with the town for a couple of weeks, due to a combination of a lack of time and motivation due to the town's state. However, he didn't give up on it and is slowly working on its development.
Current state of affairs
JPPAS is still getting to building up Tyumen, with multiple plans for buildings already made. So far he's already built 2 of those: a stylized pyramid-shaped apartment block and a water-elevator tower next to it.
In early October, JPPAS followed Ballady's lead and bought a set for moon travel despite earlier concerns about the price and potential unprofitability. His concerns turned out to be unwarranted as moon mining turned out to be heavily profitable, earning several more times gold per session than regular, on-earth mining.
EarthMC goals and interests
Collections
Heads
JPPAS is an enjoyer of head collecting, interested in any heads related to his outside interests. Currently he has (and is collecting) heads from such media as Undertale, Deltarune, One Punch Man and Team Fortress 2, all of which he enjoys greatly.
If YOU happen to have any heads that he's interested in and would be willing to sell them for a decent price, then please message him on Discord or use /mail JPPAS in-game.
Mapart
JPPAS used to be a great enjoyer of mapart, primarily collectingmemes, Undertale/Deltarune images and real-life paintings, among many other things.
During his stay in Zawichost, he had amassed almost 3 double chests worth of Mapart, running out of space to put them in his house.
Despite this, JPPAS had lost most of his interest in mapart and has stopped spending any gold of it or displaying any that he has stored.
