Discovered?: Yes | Discovery Date: Nov 19, 2024 | Discovered by: r3xc, [unknown]

Thesto logged into vforv for the first time and escaped spawn in search of a spawn base location. This spawn base's goal was to be the starter base. Get some basic stuff to get established and move on to another location eventually. And the base did just that for all of it's members. But at first, it wasn't so easy.

Starting out, Thesto came across an island with a village on it that looked as a perfect spot to build a starter base. There wasn't much to do besides go fishing while waiting for the villager breeder to do it's thing.

Once the villager breeding factory was spitting out villagers at a good rate, Port Ironfish was moving on to a whole new era.

Once enough villagers were waiting to become employed, the breeder was used as a makeshift iron farm while rolling for librarian villagers.

! Fun Fact: Protection IV took 754 rolls

Once the librarians were set up, a proper iron farm was built on the island and more halls were created. This was becoming the perfect starter base. Have a few small farms, some villagers to get gear and tools with max enchants, the base definitely serving it's purpose.

(the other members invited never showed up - but there's some new people at the base as of December 2024)

Port Ironfish was discovered by a non-member for the first time on November 19, 2024 by r3xc and another unknown player. Thesto had logged in on November 21 to check up on the base and found emerald blocks on the ground by the iron farm missing. Did a quick search of the base and found chests lined up by the famer villagers with a gear set labeled by a player name r3xc. Unfortunately, no screen shot was obtained at the time. Thesto logged back in again on December 10, 2024 to check up on the base and found the base to have been looted by r3xc and another unknown player. The base is still in tact and is semi-active.

Most of the original players of the base are no longer there but newer members of the group can still be found lurking about leaving them and whoever else to write the rest of the history of this base.
