Blackout record / The archive
Not a timeline. A collection of worlds, landmarks, ruins, and community decisions that somehow became permanent Blackout culture.
The physical record
Every exhibit is prepared for the real screenshots, clips, maps, and captions that will arrive later. Until then, its placeholder says exactly what belongs there—without dressing unrelated images up as history.

The castle, the shops, the library, the portals—and eventually the place where Season 1 came apart.
Built by Darkgod565, Sniffglue420, BubblegumC_21, and several other players, this was the place Blackout kept returning to. It saw the first hacker, griefing, attempted explosions, hide-and-seek, and finally the New Year’s Eve destruction that ended the season.
Because somebody decided Blackout needed judges, jail, punishments, and actual proceedings.
Darkgod565 built the courthouse and Sniffglue420 made its interior. Dark took Sav to court after the early spawn mace problems, temporarily costing Sav the right to PvP. Sniff later took Sparcut to court over a bet; Spar had to pay Sniff $100, Sav died during the proceedings, and the server somehow still treated it as a court case.
A response to stealing, killing, and assorted nefarious activity after people had been told not to.
Civilisation representatives sat on the board while players attended. The treaty did create some peace, and when agreements broke down there were court proceedings, jail, and other consequences. Meetings also gave the server somewhere to deal with shared disputes before they grew legs.
Maccas, KFC, Banjos, Griffy’s Toy Shop, Tipsy Sipsy, and the part where somebody destroyed the lot.
Sniffglue420 built the themed shopping area at spawn. It was not a row of player-owned businesses so much as Blackout deciding it needed its own tiny high street. Someone who did not like Sniff destroyed the shopping mall and Withermoon; the person is not confidently remembered, but the backup was there.
An island. A lady-shaped island. Everyone inexplicably loves her.
Sparcut added Sarah. This is a landmark of immense historical importance, in the sense that it is permanent Blackout culture and nobody involved appears willing to act normal about it.
Not really a Christmas attraction. Very much a boat-racing track.
Sniff built the rink for boat racing. One memorable race involved Symesyy and Sav flying past everyone while Tokyo Drift played through their microphones. There are worse ways to spend an evening in Minecraft.
A dedicated space for tournaments, practice, and murder with a venue booking.
Darkgod565 built the arena to move casual fights and tournaments away from random places in the survival world. Sav vs Symesy and Iceyy vs Viper were among the memorable matchups.
Preserved sequence
A smaller, rougher spawn built around corruption, ruins, and the fact that Season 1 happened.
Darkgod565, GHOSTEDGIRL, and IceyyIce135 designed the Season 2 spawn around corruption and life after an explosion. It intentionally does not try to be Season 1 Spawn but prettier: the ruin motif makes the new world carry the memory of the old one.
Viper_Queen’s base survived an explosion by becoming a space for everyone.
After Viper_Queen’s base was blown up by Dark, Viper converted it into a community space with farming and other shared uses instead of leaving it behind. The centre is very Blackout: a disaster, a rebuild, and a community answer.
The first archive is not the last
The archive grows when people build something, break something, rebuild it, and remember why it mattered.
