AntHand

Beginnings

On February 11, 2019, AntHand joined the server. Invited there by his friend egnaroky, he quickly became frustrated at the server's no-plugin policy. However, after settling in a small base 10k blocks from spawn, he quickly became attached to the server's simple vanilla playstyle. Anthand remained at this small base for nearly a month, building up diamond gear and a small kelp exp farm, as well as forging a few alliances. It was around this time that the clipchip /world controversy began.

The Clipchip /World War

While peacefully trading with ostrich1414 in /world one day, AntHand was ambushed and killed by clipchip, losing his only diamond pickaxe at the time. Spun into a fury, AntHand began plotting his revenge. While he was very poor at the time, he managed to scrounge enough resources to make 12 instant damage 2 potions. The plan was to lure clipchip into /world with the promise of a trade deal, and then blast him with the damage II pots. AntHand neglected to realize that the protection enchantment protects against damage II, and that it requires a direct hit to do any serious damage. When the day of the plot came, Anthand, Egnaroky, and even Antzakes1, a budding ally, entered /world. The plan went horribly wrong, with only 1 heart of damage was dealt. AntHand was immediately killed, while egnaroky and Antzakes1 managed to escape. However, this small event had huge consequences on AntHand and egnaroky's well-being later on. While transferring over 3 stacks of redstone blocks, turtle eggs, and iron to egnaroky in /world, AntHand was attacked and murdered again. It was clear that clipchip did not take transgressions lightly. This continual violence mostly perpetrated by clipchip was the major motivation behind the later griefing of Java Linsghey.

Greater Horizons

AntHand and egnaroky began to realize that their small 10k base was far too close to spawn for safety, and started a migration to more distant pastures.
