The Lore
Helium started his minecraft journey in 2019 under the ign "Uxellodunon" (Ux) He custom made his current skin right then, inspired by Chrigel Glanzmann, the vocalist of Eluveitie, his favorite band at the time.
His first server was a small, local romanian anarchy server called Gamster. There he lead a group that fought for spawn domination and total control. They acheived this after allying with their only capable rival. There he built his first pointed arch at the very spawn, and was meant as a cool place for players to hang around. He also built many bases, goldfarms and a vast nether network of speedhack pig tunnels. Helium enjoyed the server for it's small community and the connections he did with the players there. After years of playing, he quit the server after the admin wiped the map twice and introduced tp commands. One of his base mates, Victor, played on another server called endcrystal.me (ecme), and there joined a prominent group, Aqx, after finding their base.
After trying out 2b2t and other anarchy servers like oldfag and 9b9t (and briefly joining simpvp), at Victor's invitation floating_helium joined Aqx on endcrystal.me and played for a while there. He had the pleasure of basing with the creator of Baritone, Leijurv. Unfortunately, the admin, Epearl, deleted the server after having a mental breakdown. It reopened under new management but most of the players quit and leaked themselves, including helium. His base is still there, in ruins, an occasional host for helium's nostalgia.
Helium and half of team aqx moved to Purity Vanilla and he adopted his current ign. There he stepped up his building game and was the main builder at the aqx base, while his other active base mate Sankow maintained the industry and a shop. The team grew in size and in wealth, but it was eventually leaked by Victor, Helium's only friend from the Gamster days. Helium and Sankow stole all the group wealth before the grief to a secret location and disolved the team. Many magnificent builds were destroyed and Helium doesn't visit the ruins on the fear of the withers doing even more damage. This will be his worse loss.
After his base was destroyed, Helium starded building things around Purity Vanilla's spawn area, mainly hidden farms and pointed arches. He built and maintained one arch on every overworld highway and 3 other inside the spawn. They became his thing and brought him server clout. His former mate, Sankow, managed to use his trading connections to join a very large team, Velocity, and recommended Helium as a builder, and so, he became a VEL member. After some time building at the VEL megabase his best builds yet, and helping to dig a perimeter without tnt bombers, floating_helium lost motivation and became bored of purity, since the VEL group focused on maintaining a large shop and wasn't build focused. He then tried out other vanilla servers to get a fresh start experience. He played solo on uneasyvanilla, but quit after an embarrassing and costly death.
Life on Simpvp
Around march of 2024 floating_helium rejoined simpvp looking for a fresh start vanilla survival experience. He enjoys the small community that reminds him of his first server and it's the main reason he stuck to playing on sim. He founded his starter base, Cherrytown, where he fenced a cherry grove village, made a zombie grinder and started the gear grind. Unaware of the server plugins, he frequently traveled to spawn and back using his alt, Zahar_ars and pearl stasis. After acquiring the means for material gathering, he immediately started building an arch at spawn and socializing with players like Papyrus839, Aluminisin, Sav5 and Tsara160. While hanging out at spawn mostly gearless, floating_helium got his first pvp death at the hands of MisterHollywood , who made helium lose a precious totem and called him a f****t. Helium will forever hold a grudge against MisterHollywood until he receives his lost totem back.
Other spawn deeds of floating_helium include repairing sav's endportal pyramid and building an arch there. He found sav's hidden cobblestone stash and so helium got his first shulker boxes. He got his first beacon by stealing the one OxT placed at the nether spawn. Helium had some other lucky finds like a spawn blaze farm and an endermen farm. Eventually, Helium set his sights on the end, and managed to walk 30.000 blocks until he got killed by an endermen. After raging in chat about it, Death Tr00per gave Helium his first elytra for the price of 1db.
With powered flight in his hands, floating helium traveled far and founded his first proper base, Icetown. There he built the underground decorated goldfarm he does at the core of all of his bases, and upgraded a taiga village to town status, with an ice castle, a large tower and a large ice wall surrounding everything. After Tsara160 invited a noob in her base that leaked it shortly after, floating_helium welcomed her to live at Icetown. Tsara160 suggested more people to be invited, but Helium refused, remembering how he lost his aqx base on Purity. He suggested however to build a new base where they could play with more people, thus founding The Bell Beakers.
Helium's dealings in The Bell Beakers were founding the clan base, Bronzehenge, and being the creative force for the clan. At Bronzehenge, Helium organised the storage, built the decorated goldfarm with a grand underground hall, the nightclub with a noteblock machine, and houses for the villagers to live in.
In august of 2024 floating_helium made his first creative build, the arena for the mace pvp event he designed with the help of Death Tr00per.
What is he up to?
Helium is famous for building many multicolored arches around the server and contributing to spawn builds and events. He is actively building at Bronzehenge, the base of The Bell Beakers.
