Description

Morl0ck's castle is a fairly old and relatively well-known base on Simpvp. The main reason for its notoriety is its sheer size. The grounds of the castle spans a 300x300 block area, with a large two-layer curtain wall surrounding it. Due to the immense size of this wall, it was noted by morl0ck to take close to an entire inventory of stone bricks to raise the outer layer's height by a single block.

The main centerpiece of the castle is the Tower Keep, which is a 30 block diameter tower that reaches height limit. Sitting on top of the tower is a 41-block diameter sphere made of blue stained glass, which is filled with water and acts as a PVP arena. Underneath the tower is The Undercroft, the main functional area of the castle. The undercroft is mainly a series of long hallways which contains storage, automatic farms, and the like.

Morl0ck's Castle was once stated by the admin to be the largest base on the server by number of blocks, however this was several years ago and possibly no longer true, likely superseded in size by one of the more recent large-scale team city projects.

• Double Skeleton

• Witch
• Pigman (90 portal)

Iron Trench

Before the 1.8 update, morl0ck constructed a large iron farm named "The Iron Trench", a 32 village iron farm that produced 1300 iron ingots per hour. Unfortunately, the 1.8 update completely changed village mechanics and so this build stopped working along with the update. However, the massive structure still sits in the desert
