New Yittrium is a city founded on September 4th, 2021, by six members of The Order of Wilbur. Shortly after their self-grief of São Porco, six of the city's members decided to move on and form a new capital city for the OOW, naming it "New Yittrium" in homage to Yittrium. Unlike São Porco, New Yittrium is a city characterized by several diverse and distinct architectural styles, most notably those found in modern cityscapes like Yittrium and Quabbin, but also more medieval and rustic architecture. The city also features numerous different farms, putting an emphasis on productivity and progress.

History

São Porco Refugees

Due to the ferocity of The GS YMP Conflict of 2021, The Order of Wilbur's capital city, São Porco, would get caught up in the mix, regularly being targeted with threats from YeeterMyPeeter. This was not helped due to São Porco housing bruno_vera, a dual member of both the OOW and YMP, which made the other members wary. By August 2021, it was clear that São Porco's lifespan was going to be cut short, and this was soon confirmed by Nebuelaz, who revealed that YMP did, in fact, have São Porco's coordinates, and were planning an attack on the city soon. Desperate to take matters into their own hands before YMP could, six of São Porco's core members--ostrich1414, MoWobbler, cheesy_chips22, willowienal, ElectricChugg, and GentleGiant69--decided to loot the entire city and then grief it.

On August 28th, these players all convened in Vila Porta, the center of the city, and immediately began to grief every building and farm at the base. This, of course, came shortly after the city had been entirely looted, allowing the members to save everything they could in a hidden underground bunker, far away from the city. Once São Porco had been fully looted and severely griefed, these players would remain in this small, cramped bunker for at least a week, all while they started the search for a new location to call home. Using WilburThePig as a shared account to fly farther out for a new base, they eventually settled upon a vast landmass consisting of a variety of biomes all converging together--plains, roofed forest, savannah, extreme hills, and forest, all in one immediate location. The six eventually settled here on September 4th, transferring all of São Porco's looted items from the bunker to this new spot.

This soon-to-be-city was named "New Yittrium", in honor of the former city of Yittrium which ostrich1414, MoWobbler, and cheesy_chips22 had based at. The primary reason this name was chosen, however, was because of MoWobbler's grand plan for the city: it would be heavily inspired by elements from both Yittrium and Quabbin (another former city of theirs), incorporating some of their old builds into this new base's cityscape.

A New Wilburian Capital

Unlike many former Wilburian bases, New Yittrium would put an emphasis on security and safety like never before; the members of the city would forbid any screenshots of the base's terrain to be shown public (hence the scarcity of images on this wiki article), and they would also be exclusively strict in their membership, only keeping themselves as members for months. Feeling like they finally had a chance at a long lasting base, New Yittrium almost immediately became home to several farms, thanks primarily to GentleGiant69's skills in redstone and industry. The blossoming city soon saw the construction of a five-layer gold farm, a massive villager trading hall, a bartering farm, a triple gunpowder/iron/sugarcane farm, a guardian farm, a raid farm, and an obsidian farm, among others.

While the farming sector of the base skyrocketed, turning the city into the Order of Wilbur's wealthiest base yet, it was relatively slow to produce more aesthetic builds. MoWobbler began work on his anticipated Yittrium/Quabbin hybrid, first employing several of New Yittrium's members to dig out a massive rectangular quarry at the foot of his build, and then beginning work on a megastructure inspired heavily by Yittrium's "Industrial District", which he himself had built back in 2019. Above this futuristic complex of buildings, MoWobbler would then begin work on his replica of Sphere City, another build of his he had produced at Quabbin in 2020.

Cheesy_chips22, meanwhile, would begin work on his own unique district, known as Wilshire. Unlike MoWobbler's district, Wilshire had a more medieval and rustic style of architecture, seeing the construction of several medieval houses and churches dotting the face of a hill. Cheesy_chips22 would also use his skills as a terraformer to transorm the land surrounding Wilshire into a scenic vista of natural beauty and blooming vegetation. In many ways, Wilshire would embody some of cheesy_chips22's previous work from other cities, especially that seen in Yittport at Yittrium.

A Tale of Loss and Gain

Although New Yittrium had been growing steadily throughout September to early October 2021, it would experience a brief period of inactivity between mid October and mid November. Due to the toxic climate of the server at the time, several of the city's members would temporarily migrate from SimPvP to another similar server, known as Uneasy Vanilla. During this time, MoWobbler and GentleGiant69 would be the only ones somewhat active at the city, although even then their progress was slow. Over half of New Yittrium's population would stay focused on their other base at Uneasy Vanilla until roughly mid November 2021, when they would leave the server due to an incident regarding blatant admin abuse. Once again, they would return their attention to SimPvP, and back to New Yittrium.

Between late November and throughout December, a steady period of progress returned to the city. MoWobbler's district had grown significantly since September, becoming the largest part of the city thus far. Willowienal had also begun work on several areas of his own, including an underwater base made of glass, an acacia village, and a statue of Wilbur modeled after the Buddha. ElectricChugg would also start his own underground base, although this was unfortunately never completed. Meanwhile, GentleGiant69 would continue to focus on the city's bustling industrial sector, adding more farms. Thanks to the server updating to 1.17, a shulker farm and a glow squid farm were added to the city, and a high-powered obsidian farm replaced their old one, providing New Yittrium with an immense surplus of obsidian. An auto-smelter was also constructed, using coal as its primary fuel source thanks to the city's massive abundance of coal.

Once again, tragedy would strike when, on January 1st, 2022, GentleGiant69 would officially leave SimPvP. New Yittrium had lost its most active member and its core farm designer, a major blow to the city, and the Order of Wilbur as a whole. After GentleGiant69's departure from the server, progress at the city was slow, and the remaining members felt that it was time to consider adding a new member or two to revitalize it. A few weeks later, on January 17th, the newest members were added to New Yittrium in GentleGiant69's place: Laztec and TuataraBoots, two of the most recent members of the Order of Wilbur. Thanks to their own skills at building and farm creation, they would become the newest members of the city since September 2022, and would help to bring New Yittrium into its most active era yet.
