Cliffside

= Settlement Info =

Cliffside was founded by Alxnotorious on the 19th of January 2011. It was approximately the third town built. The name comes from the intention for all the houses to be build into the cliffs. The topography of the area is crater like allowing the town to be relatively safe from mobs.

Location
Cliffside lies in a crater-like valley past a mountain through which the main road cuts through. A road from spawn leads to Cliffside. The road is behind the player once they spawn. Travel time is about a day. Several chunks of road may or may not be missing occasionally due to creeper incidents. Unfortunately, the town was built in the complete opposite direction of Simba so any commerce between the two areas takes about two days. A road to Whitecliff is in the process of being constructed to the west and Svea is a few clicks to the east. At some point in both the spawn-to-Cliffside and Cliffside-to-Whitecliff roads, a separate road to Piratemax's Castle intersects.

About Cliffside
Despite its humble appearance, the mines contain a treasure trove for those willing to dig far enough. It is abundant in coal, redstone, and iron and several veins of gold have been found. Very few veins of diamond have been mined though; however, lava ponds have been discovered, so diamond is likely to be somewhere.

The town is continually being developed and furbished and now has a population of 4-5 residents. As many as 11 total lots exist, so plenty of space for new residents to fill is available.

Current Residents

Places of interest


Cliffside hosts a Communal Mine which was created smack-dab in the middle of the town in order to provide a way for the residents to mine without mining into their neighbor's homes. In addition, a separate tunnel to a sand quarry exists and is labeled "Further Resources."

A small, drab townhall exists in order to provide some semblance of law, but it is mostly for decoration. A watchtower is perched on a cliff overlooking the road to Cliffside on the northern side of the mountains, but it is somewhat out of the way. On the way to Cliffside, a small patch of road contains several pads connected to noteboxes for eyecandy.
