=== Selling to Player Shops ===
Whilst the '''AdminShop''' can be infinitely bought from and sold to, its prices for both are deliberately set up to be undesirable and the catalog of blocks is limited. For those reasons, it is often best to try and use a '''Player Shop''' for purchases and sales whenever possible. They are used identically to the '''AdminShop''' (left click to buy, right click to sell), but are player-owned and have a finite amount of resources that can be bought/sold at any given time.

The prices and options for purchases and sales vary depending on the shop. Collections of player shops can be found at [[Mall|/warp mall]]. There are also larger '''Player Shops''' at [[Fürstwaren Store|/warp store]] and [[BMC Warehouse|/warp warehouse]].

=== Hostile Mob Kills with CookieMonster ===
Another way to make money is with the CookieMonster plugin. This plugin allows you to earn money by killing hostile mobs. The ranges for each mob vary and are subject to change. As of now, here are the prices you should expect when killing each given mob:

{| class="wikitable" style="margin:left"
! Mob !! Min Price !! Max Price
|-
||Zombie ||style="color:#FF9900"| $1 ||style="color:#FF9900"| $2
|-
||Skeleton ||style="color:#FF9900"| $1 ||style="color:#FF9900"| $3
|-
||Spider ||style="color:#FF9900"| $1 ||style="color:#FF9900"| $2
|-
||Slime ||style="color:#FF9900"| $0.10 ||style="color:#FF9900"| $0.40
|-
||Zombie Pigmen ||style="color:#FF9900"| $1 ||style="color:#FF9900"| $2
|-
||Creeper1 ||style="color:#FF9900"| $1 ||style="color:#FF9900"| $5
|-
|Ghast ||style="color:#FF9900"| $5 ||style="color:#FF9900"| $20
|-
|}

Because players are allowed up to 3 accounts total, one could use up to two alternate accounts to semi-afk and earn money while doing other things with their main account. There is an area-based cap, currently at 50 mob kills per 5 minutes.

1 ''No reward is given for killing a creeper with a bow.''

=== Creating a ChestShop ===
By utilizing the ChestShop plugin, players can create their own shops to buy/sell items/blocks. By selling items/blocks you've collected to other players, you can also earn an income.

Although you can create your own ChestShop anywhere, it is recommended to find an empty stall at <code>/warp [https://betamc.org/wiki/index.php/Mall Mall]</code> as it is convenient to get to, and most players go there to buy/sell items currently.

To create a ChestShop, place a chest or doublechest, then place a sign next to it with the following syntax. Please note, each bullet point below represents a newline on the sign:
* your username
* # of blocks to sell per sale
* Buy/Sell prices, separated by :
* Item Name
e.g:
[[File:Cs01transact.png|thumb]]
* jcheese7
* 64
* B 1 : S 1
* DIAMOND_SPADE

ChestShops do not always have to use money for a transaction. It can also use items. Instead of putting the price on the third line, you will state the quantity alongside item ID.
* your username
* # of blocks to sell per sale
* Quantity and item to trade
* Item you are selling
e.g:
[[File:Cs01trade.png|thumb]]
* jcheese7
* 64
* 5 DIAMOND
* IRON_INGOT

This means you're buying 64 iron ingots for 5 diamonds from jcheese7.

If you require further assistance with the syntax of your ChestShop, please refer to the tutorial at <code>/spawn</code>, or look closely at the other ChestShop signs at <code>/warp [https://betamc.org/wiki/index.php/Mall Mall]</code>.

=== Creating a SlotMachine ===
Within the ChestShop plugin, is also a feature to create Slot Machines.
To create your own, place a down a block of your choice and place a redstone torch behind it, place a dispenser on top of that block, and place a sign on the lower block.

On the sign, use the following syntax:
* your username
* BLANK SPACE
* Buy price
* [Activate]
For Example:
* R0LU
* B 100
* [Activate]

'''VanillaCake__''', often shortened to '''Vanilla''', is a [[Ranks#Moderator|Moderator]] and [[Ranks#Donator_(+/++)|server donator]]. He is best known for co-leading the city of [[Grenzstadt]], owning and operating the [[Fürstwaren Store]], and for being very active in the community.

==Player History==
===Initial Discovery===
VanillaCake__ discovered '''BetaMC''' in the early morning of January 31st, 2026. Within a few hours, he had founded his personal base, [[Shiverdale]] in some snowy plains. Later that day, he chose to join https://minotar.net/helm/KingDaKa4/16.png [[User:KingDaKa4|KingDaKa4]]'s small village of Grenzstadt, interested in making something bigger out of the 5-player tribe.

===The Rise of Grenzstadt===
Whilst VanillaCake__ originally planned to focus on Shiverdale, he grew hooked on the idea of turning Grenzstadt into one of the server's largest towns whilst constructing his first build in Grenzstadt, the City Hall. Two days later, VanillaCake__ became Grenzstadt's first assistant as recognition for his activity in building and terraforming in the area. By the end of VanillaCake__'s first week as assistant, Grenzstadt had grown from a 5-player Tribe to a 30-player Town.

From there on, VanillaCake__ built various important and iconic structures in Grenzstadt, such as the Spawn Terrace/Castle, the City Vault, the Palasfeld Wall, and his infamously long-unfinished Manor. He also terraformed most of the flatlands upon which other players built, wrote Grenzstadt's rules, and hid several puzzles within his builds.

On March 8th, a little over a month after VanillaCake__ first joined the server, Grenzstadt reached 100 members. To celebrate, he created and launched the Grenzcord, before resuming efforts to expand the growing city. Less than two weeks later, Grenzstadt experienced its first and only major grief, which VanillaCake__ helped organize both the removal of the lavacasts and the retaliatory countergrief of the culprits in nearby Fartonia.

When https://minotar.net/helm/KingDaKa4/16.png [[User:KingDaKa4|KingDaKa4]] decided to take a break from BMC on March 30th, his final action in the server was to grant VanillaCake__ the position of Regent-Mayor in Grenzstadt to run the city for the following months. VanillaCake__ used this position to host an anniversary build competition on April 24th, exactly a year after the foundation of Grenzstadt in 2025.

VanillaCake__ returned ownership of Grenzstadt to https://minotar.net/helm/KingDaKa4/16.png [[User:KingDaKa4|KingDaKa4]] on May 30th after the latter returned to the server. The two then worked together to create the new District of Neugard and Neugard Castle so that new players would once again have ample territory to build their starter houses in, opening Grenzstadt back up to frequent membership invitations and advertisement.

===Outside of Grenzstadt===
Though he had previously constructed the exterior of a Grenzstadt embassy in Oasis, VanillaCake__ had largely remained uninvolved outside of Grenzstadt aside from staffing matters. This began to change in late March when he started construction on the Grenzstadt embassy in Azuria, followed by his participation in [[Jenga]].

In April, he continued building medium-sized builds in other towns (e.g. [[Fractalis]]) and took a particular interest in [[SpawnTown]]. First, on April 10th, he constructed a large, castle-esque building next to [[Cow's Bakery]] to contain a new Grenzstadt stargate. Then, after a mall clearing on April 14th, he created Vanilla's Wares & Spares!™. The shop quickly became one of the most active player stores in the server thanks to its good prices and frequent restocking of high-interest items. Then in early May, he built a skyscraper above the skylight into his mall stall.

Vanilla's Wares & Spares!™ proved to be unexpectedly successful, motivating VanillaCake__ to expand his operations. Through advertising his shop and selling much of what he had mined in March and April, VanillaCake__ was able to earn over $100,000 in a little under a month. This revenue was used to create the Fürstwaren Store in Grenzstadt and purchase /warp store, with the store becoming operational on May 29th.

===Staff Tenure===
VanillaCake__ applied to become a [[Staff_List|staff member]] as soon as he was eligible on March 1st, 2026. He was subsequently accepted and promoted to [[Ranks#Trial_Moderator|Trial Moderator]] on March 5th. 13 days later, he became a full server Moderator, and one of the most active members of the larger staff team. As a staff member, he is commonly associated with handing out a lot of server bans.

By utilizing the ChestShop plugin, players can create their own shops to buy/sell items/blocks. By selling items/blocks you've collected to other players, you can also earn an income.

Although you can create your own ChestShop anywhere, it is recommended to find an empty stall at <code>/warp [https://betamc.org/wiki/index.php/Mall Mall]</code> as it is convenient to get to, and most players go there to buy/sell items currently.

To create a ChestShop, place a chest or doublechest, then place a sign next to it with the following syntax. Please note, each bullet point below represents a newline on the sign:
* your username
* # of blocks to sell per sale
* Buy/Sell prices, separated by :
* Item Name
e.g:
[[File:Cs01transact.png|thumb]]
* jcheese7
* 64
* B 1 : S 1
* DIAMOND_SPADE

ChestShops do not always have to use money for a transaction. It can also use items. Instead of putting the price on the third line, you will state the quantity alongside item ID.
* your username
* # of blocks to sell per sale
* Quantity and item to trade
* Item you are selling
e.g:
[[File:Cs01trade.png|thumb]]
* jcheese7
* 64
* 5 DIAMOND
* IRON_INGOT

This means you're buying 64 iron ingots for 5 diamonds from jcheese7.

If you require further assistance with the syntax of your ChestShop, please refer to the tutorial at <code>/spawn</code>, or look closely at the other ChestShop signs at <code>/warp [https://betamc.org/wiki/index.php/Mall Mall]</code>.

=== Creating a SlotMachine ===
Within the ChestShop plugin, is also a feature to create Slot Machines.
To create your own, place a down a block of your choice and place a redstone torch behind it, place a dispenser on top of that block, and place a sign on the lower block.

On the sign, use the following syntax:
* your username
* BLANK SPACE
* Buy price
* [Activate]
For Example:
* R0LU
* B 100
* [Activate]

=== Selling to Player Shops ===
Whilst the '''AdminShop''' can be infinitely bought from and sold to, its prices for both are deliberately set up to be undesirable and the catalog of blocks is limited. For those reasons, it is often best to try and use a '''Player Shop''' for purchases and sales whenever possible. They are used identically to the '''AdminShop''' (left click to buy, right click to sell), but are player-owned and have a finite amount of resources that can be bought/sold at any given time.

The prices and options for purchases and sales vary depending on the shop. Collections of player shops can be found at [[Mall|/warp mall]]. There are also larger '''Player Shops''' at [[Fürstwaren Store|/warp store]] and [[BMC Warehouse|/warp warehouse]].

=== Hostile Mob Kills with CookieMonster ===
Another way to make money is with the CookieMonster plugin. This plugin allows you to earn money by killing hostile mobs. The ranges for each mob vary and are subject to change. As of now, here are the prices you should expect when killing each given mob:

{| class="wikitable" style="margin:left"
! Mob !! Min Price !! Max Price
|-
||Zombie ||style="color:#FF9900"| $1 ||style="color:#FF9900"| $2
|-
||Skeleton ||style="color:#FF9900"| $1 ||style="color:#FF9900"| $3
|-
||Spider ||style="color:#FF9900"| $1 ||style="color:#FF9900"| $2
|-
||Slime ||style="color:#FF9900"| $0.10 ||style="color:#FF9900"| $0.40
|-
||Zombie Pigmen ||style="color:#FF9900"| $1 ||style="color:#FF9900"| $2
|-
||Creeper1 ||style="color:#FF9900"| $1 ||style="color:#FF9900"| $5
|-
|Ghast ||style="color:#FF9900"| $5 ||style="color:#FF9900"| $20
|-
|}

Because players are allowed up to 3 accounts total, one could use up to two alternate accounts to semi-afk and earn money while doing other things with their main account. There is an area-based cap, currently at 50 mob kills per 5 minutes.

By utilizing the ChestShop plugin, players can create their own shops to buy/sell items/blocks. By selling items/blocks you've collected to other players, you can also earn an income.

Although you can create your own ChestShop anywhere, it is recommended to find an empty stall at <code>/warp [https://betamc.org/wiki/index.php/Mall Mall]</code> as it is convenient to get to, and most players go there to buy/sell items currently.

To create a ChestShop, place a chest or doublechest, then place a sign next to it with the following syntax. Please note, each bullet point below represents a newline on the sign:
* your username
* # of blocks to sell per sale
* Buy/Sell prices, separated by :
* Item Name
e.g:
[[File:Cs01transact.png|thumb]]
* jcheese7
* 64
* B 1 : S 1
* DIAMOND_SPADE

ChestShops do not always have to use money for a transaction. It can also use items. Instead of putting the price on the third line, you will state the quantity alongside item ID.
* your username
* # of blocks to sell per sale
* Quantity and item to trade
* Item you are selling
e.g:
[[File:Cs01trade.png|thumb]]
* jcheese7
* 64
* 5 DIAMOND
* IRON_INGOT

This means you're buying 64 iron ingots for 5 diamonds from jcheese7.

If you require further assistance with the syntax of your ChestShop, please refer to the tutorial at <code>/spawn</code>, or look closely at the other ChestShop signs at <code>/warp [https://betamc.org/wiki/index.php/Mall Mall]</code>.

=== Creating a SlotMachine ===
Within the ChestShop plugin, is also a feature to create Slot Machines.
To create your own, place a down a block of your choice and place a redstone torch behind it, place a dispenser on top of that block, and place a sign on the lower block.

On the sign, use the following syntax:

* BLANK SPACE
* Buy price
* [Activate]

* R0LU
* B 100

== Methods of making money ==
=== Selling to Admin Shop ===
One way to make money in '''BetaMC''', is via the '''AdminShop'''. This can be reached with the following warp command <code>/warp shop</code>.

To '''Sell''' blocks/items to the '''AdminShop''', punch (left click) the sign. To '''Buy''' from the AdminShop, right click the sign.

The prices and block available in the '''AdminShop''' may change at a future date, but currently, here is the list of buy/sell prices:

{| class="wikitable" style="margin:left"
! Block !! # of blocks !! Price [Buy/Sell] !! Price Per Unit [Buy/Sell] !! Price per Stack (64) [Buy/Sell]
|-
||Netherack || 256 || B20 : S8 || B0.07 : S0.03 || B5 : S2

|}

=== Selling to Player Shops ===
Whilst the '''AdminShop''' can be infinitely bought from and sold to, its prices for both are deliberately set up to be undesirable and the catalog of blocks is limited. For those reasons, it is often best to try and use a '''Player Shop''' for purchases and sales whenever possible. They are used identically to the '''AdminShop''' (left click to buy, right click to sell), but are player-owned and have a finite amount of resources that can be bought/sold at any given time.

The prices and options for purchases and sales vary depending on the shop. Collections of player shops can be found at [[Mall|/warp mall]]. There are also larger '''Player Shops''' at [[Fürstwaren Store|/warp store]] and [[BMC Warehouse|/warp warehouse]].

=== Hostile Mob Kills with CookieMonster ===
Another way to make money is with the CookieMonster plugin. This plugin allows you to earn money by killing hostile mobs. The ranges for each mob vary and are subject to change. As of now, here are the prices you should expect when killing each given mob:

{| class="wikitable" style="margin:left"
! Mob !! Min Price !! Max Price
|-
||Zombie ||style="color:#FF9900"| $1 ||style="color:#FF9900"| $2
|-
||Skeleton ||style="color:#FF9900"| $1 ||style="color:#FF9900"| $3
|-
||Spider ||style="color:#FF9900"| $1 ||style="color:#FF9900"| $2
|-
||Slime ||style="color:#FF9900"| $0.10 ||style="color:#FF9900"| $0.40
|-
||Zombie Pigmen ||style="color:#FF9900"| $1 ||style="color:#FF9900"| $2
|-
||Creeper1 ||style="color:#FF9900"| $1 ||style="color:#FF9900"| $5
|-
|Ghast ||style="color:#FF9900"| $5 ||style="color:#FF9900"| $20
|-
|}

Because players are allowed up to 3 accounts total, one could use up to two alternate accounts to semi-afk and earn money while doing other things with their main account. There is an area-based cap, currently at 50 mob kills per 5 minutes.

1 ''No reward is given for killing a creeper with a bow.''

=== Creating a ChestShop ===
By utilizing the ChestShop plugin, players can create their own shops to buy/sell items/blocks. By selling items/blocks you've collected to other players, you can also earn an income.

Although you can create your own ChestShop anywhere, it is recommended to find an empty stall at <code>/warp [https://betamc.org/wiki/index.php/Mall Mall]</code> as it is convenient to get to, and most players go there to buy/sell items currently.

To create a ChestShop, place a chest or doublechest, then place a sign next to it with the following syntax. Please note, each bullet point below represents a newline on the sign:
* your username
* # of blocks to sell per sale
* Buy/Sell prices, separated by :
* Item Name
e.g:
[[File:Cs01transact.png|thumb]]
* jcheese7
* 64
* B 1 : S 1
* DIAMOND_SPADE

ChestShops do not always have to use money for a transaction. It can also use items. Instead of putting the price on the third line, you will state the quantity alongside item ID.
* your username
* # of blocks to sell per sale
* Quantity and item to trade
* Item you are selling
e.g:
[[File:Cs01trade.png|thumb]]
* jcheese7
* 64
* 5 DIAMOND
* IRON_INGOT

This means you're buying 64 iron ingots for 5 diamonds from jcheese7.

If you require further assistance with the syntax of your ChestShop, please refer to the tutorial at <code>/spawn</code>, or look closely at the other ChestShop signs at <code>/warp [https://betamc.org/wiki/index.php/Mall Mall]</code>.

=== Creating a SlotMachine ===
Within the ChestShop plugin, is also a feature to create Slot Machines.
To create your own, place a down a block of your choice and place a redstone torch behind it, place a dispenser on top of that block, and place a sign on the lower block.

On the sign, use the following syntax:
* your username
* BLANK SPACE
* Buy price
* [Activate]
For Example:
* R0LU
* B 100
* [Activate]

Fürstwaren Store

2026-06-16T00:25:08Z

Vanillacake:

The '''Fürstwaren Store''', often referred to as the '''the store''' or '''/warp store''' for short, is a large player-run shop in [[Grenzstadt]] owned and operated by https://minotar.net/helm/VanillaCake__/16.png [[User:VanillaCake__|VanillaCake__]]. It is known for having great buy and sell prices that are frequently updated to reflect player supply and demand.

With the closing of https://minotar.net/helm/LizzieSteph/16.png [[User:LizzieSteph|LizzieSteph]]'s [[Kæse-co]], the Fürstwaren Store is the only major competitor to https://minotar.net/helm/aq2a/16.png [[User:aq2a|aq2a]]'s [[BMC Warehouse]].

==History==
===Vanilla's Wares and Spares!===
In April of 2026, https://minotar.net/helm/VanillaCake__/16.png [[User:VanillaCake__|VanillaCake__]] claimed one of the two frontmost stalls at /warp mall for himself. Using that space, he created Vanilla's Wares and Spares!, originally intending just to sell excess minerals for a bit of extra profit. However, the shop proved more profitable and popular than expected. Seeing this unanticipated success and having already critiqued the server [[Economy_System|economy]] for needing more big player-owned stores, https://minotar.net/helm/VanillaCake__/16.png [[User:VanillaCake__|VanillaCake__]] decided to turn Vanilla's Wares and Spares! into a real shop and dedicate both its profits and the revenues generated from his grinding toward the creation of a larger store in Grenzstadt.

During this time, Vanilla's Wares and Spares! also benefitted from the [[Doublestep Crisis]], as https://minotar.net/helm/VanillaCake__/16.png [[User:VanillaCake__|VanillaCake__]] and the other affected shop owners were allowed to keep the profits from swaths of their stores being cleared out.

===Creation of the Store===
After deciding to put the larger store behind https://minotar.net/helm/LizzieSteph/16.png [[User:LizzieSteph|LizzieSteph]]'s [[Grenzstadt University of Architecture]] and having just reached the $100,000 milestone needed to buy a /warp, https://minotar.net/helm/VanillaCake__/16.png [[User:VanillaCake__|VanillaCake__]] started constructing the building on May 18th. The design of the store was based on the original plans for the University so that the two builds would aesthetically match.

On May 29th, with the bulk of the two shop wings completed, https://minotar.net/helm/VanillaCake__/16.png [[User:VanillaCake__|VanillaCake__]] purchased /warp store and the Unofficial Store (quickly renamed to the Fürstwaren Store) became fully operational. However, the rest of the building was not completed until June 12th, when the iconic dome above the central rotunda was finally constructed. Only minor additions and detail tweaks have occurred since, not including changes to the price signs.

On May 29th, with the bulk of the two shop wings completed, https://minotar.net/helm/VanillaCake__/16.png [[User:VanillaCake__|VanillaCake__]] purchased /warp store and the Unofficial Store (quickly renamed to the Fürstwaren Store) became fully operational. However, the rest of the building was not completed until June 12th, when the iconic dome above the central rotunda was finally constructed. Only minor additions and detail tweaks have occurred since, not including changes to the price signs.

'''Grenzstadt''' (formerly '''Filder''') is a [[Metropolis]] near the southwestern world border. Its Founder and Mayor is https://minotar.net/helm/KingDaKa4/16.png [[User:KingDaKa4|KingDaKa4]].

== History ==
=== Founding and Early Inactivity ===
Grenzstadt was created on April 24th, 2025 when https://minotar.net/helm/KingDaKa4/16.png [[User:KingDaKa4|KingDaKa4]] decided to start a settlement out by the world border. After several days of walking and searching, he found the perfect spot to settle down. He then mined and sold the minerals in the area's caves in order to finance the foundation of a village, which he named Filder. Now having founded the settlement, he dug a large circular hole down to bedrock and sealed it with glass to create the town square.

After founding Filder, https://minotar.net/helm/KingDaKa4/16.png [[User:KingDaKa4|KingDaKa4]] built several farm buildings near the hole. However, he suddenly disappeared from the server in July 2025, leaving Filder in stasis for the remainder of the year.

=== Revival and Initial Rise ===
At the end of December 2025, https://minotar.net/helm/KingDaKa4/16.png [[User:KingDaKa4|KingDaKa4]] returned to the server. Immediately after his sudden return, he decided to remove the old farm buildings and to rename Filder to Grenzstadt. He replaced the removed buildings with a new mushroom farm and sugarcane farm before taking a break for a few days.

It was only at the end of January when https://minotar.net/helm/KingDaKa4/16.png [[User:KingDaKa4|KingDaKa4]] started to invite a few players; notably https://minotar.net/helm/VanillaCake__/16.png [[User:VanillaCake__|VanillaCake__]], who quickly became heavily involved in the development of Grenzstadt. 

Over the course of February, https://minotar.net/helm/VanillaCake__/16.png [[User:VanillaCake__|VanillaCake__]] worked with https://minotar.net/helm/KingDaKa4/16.png [[User:KingDaKa4|KingDaKa4]] to radically expand Grenzstadt through major terraforming, frequent advertising, and hours of building. Grenzstadt grew from a 5-player Tribe to a 30-player Town in just the first week of February, and had become a small City by the halfway point of the month.

By March 2026, Grenzstadt had risen to the status of a 100-player Metropolis. It has since become one of the three largest and most active towns on the server in 2026, joined by the larger and more established cities of [[Windfall]] and [[Squirtville]]. Not long after hitting this milestone, Grenzstadt suffered its most significant grief after two disgruntled players placed seven lavacasts around the city as revenge for the removal of their low-effort houses. The lavacast removal and subsequent countergrief rallied dozens of active players in the server to Grenzstadt's aid, leading to the griefers' nearby base of [[Fartonia]] getting completely surrounded by lava walls and grief.

=== Spring Interim ===
At the end of March 2026, https://minotar.net/helm/KingDaKa4/16.png [[User:KingDaKa4|KingDaKa4]] went on an indefinite, though now announced hiatus. In the meantime, he granted mayorial power to https://minotar.net/helm/VanillaCake__/16.png [[User:VanillaCake__|VanillaCake__]] to ensure that Grenzstadt did not again fade into inactivity due to the mayor's absence.

Thanks to the general inactivity of many regular players not only in Grenzstadt, but the server as a whole, April and May 2026 were much quieter months in the city. The main three events to occur in this time were the hosting of the First Grenzstadt Anniversary Build Competition (won by https://minotar.net/helm/Discoo/16.png [[User:Discoo|Discoo]]), the beginnings of the construction of the Grenzstadt University of Architecture by https://minotar.net/helm/LizzieSteph/16.png [[User:LizzieSteph|LizzieSteph]], and the creation of the [[Fürstwaren Store]] and /warp store in the Palasfeld district.

=== Second Rise ===
On May 31st 2026, https://minotar.net/helm/KingDaKa4/16.png [[User:KingDaKa4|KingDaKa4]] returned from inactivity and his position as Mayor was restored. Together, he and https://minotar.net/helm/VanillaCake__/16.png [[User:VanillaCake__|VanillaCake__]] created the massive Neugard district as an area for new players to build in, allowing them to resume frequent Grenzstadt advertisements and invites.

== Trivia ==
- Grenzstadt is the German word for "Border town".

- The Filder[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filder] is a gently rolling and very fertile plateau in southern Germany near Stuttgart.

- Central Grenzstadt is only 300 blocks away from the western world border, and 4,000 blocks away from the southern world border.

- Grenzstadt had one of the most rapid growth rates of any town in the server, rising from five members to one hundred in only a single month.

'''Grenzstadt''' (formerly '''Filder''') is a Metropolis near the southwestern world border. Its Founder and Mayor is https://minotar.net/helm/KingDaKa4/16.png [[User:KingDaKa4|KingDaKa4]].

== History ==
=== Founding and Early Inactivity ===
Grenzstadt was created on April 24th, 2025 when https://minotar.net/helm/KingDaKa4/16.png [[User:KingDaKa4|KingDaKa4]] decided to start a settlement out by the world border. After several days of walking and searching, he found the perfect spot to settle down. He then proceeded to dig out a hole down to bedrock and sealed it with glass. The excavated materials were subsequently sold in order to finance the creation of the settlement, which he named Filder.

After founding Filder, https://minotar.net/helm/KingDaKa4/16.png [[User:KingDaKa4|KingDaKa4]] built several farm buildings near the hole. However, when he suddenly disappeared one day in early July 2025, Filder ceased all activity for the rest of the year.

=== Revival and Initial Rise ===
At the end of December 2025, https://minotar.net/helm/KingDaKa4/16.png [[User:KingDaKa4|KingDaKa4]] returned to the server. Immediately after his sudden return, he decided to remove the old farm buildings and to rename Filder to Grenzstadt. He replaced the removed buildings with a new mushroom farm and sugarcane farm before taking a break for a few days.

It was only at the end of January when https://minotar.net/helm/KingDaKa4/16.png [[User:KingDaKa4|KingDaKa4]] started to invite a few players; notably https://minotar.net/helm/VanillaCake__/16.png [[User:VanillaCake__|VanillaCake__]], who quickly became heavily involved in the development of Grenzstadt. 

Over the course of February, https://minotar.net/helm/VanillaCake__/16.png [[User:VanillaCake__|VanillaCake__]] worked with https://minotar.net/helm/KingDaKa4/16.png [[User:KingDaKa4|KingDaKa4]] to radically expand Grenzstadt through major terraforming, frequent advertising, and hours of building. Grenzstadt grew from a 5-player Tribe to a 30-player Town in just the first week of February, and had become a small City by the halfway point of the month.

By March 2026, Grenzstadt had risen to the status of a 100-player Metropolis. It has since become one of the three largest and most active towns on the server in 2026, joined by the larger and more established cities of [[Windfall]] and [[Squirtville]]. Not long after hitting this milestone, Grenzstadt suffered its most significant grief after two disgruntled players placed seven lavacasts around the city as revenge for the removal of their low-effort houses. The lavacast removal and subsequent countergrief rallied dozens of active players in the server to Grenzstadt's aid, leading to the griefers' nearby base of Fartonia getting completely surrounded by lava walls and grief.

=== Spring Interim ===
At the end of March 2026, https://minotar.net/helm/KingDaKa4/16.png [[User:KingDaKa4|KingDaKa4]] went on an indefinite, though now announced hiatus. In the meantime, he granted mayorial power to https://minotar.net/helm/VanillaCake__/16.png [[User:VanillaCake__|VanillaCake__]] to ensure that Grenzstadt did not again fade into inactivity due to the mayor's absence.

Thanks to the general inactivity of many regular players not only in Grenzstadt, but the server as a whole, April and May 2026 were much quieter months in the city. The main three events to occur in this time were the hosting of the First Grenzstadt Anniversary Build Competition (won by [TBD]), the beginnings of the construction of the Grenzstadt University of Architecture by https://minotar.net/helm/LizzieSteph/16.png [[User:LizzieSteph|LizzieSteph]], and the creation of the [[Unofficial Store]] and /warp store in the Palasfeld district.

=== Second Rise ===
On May 31st 2026, https://minotar.net/helm/KingDaKa4/16.png [[User:KingDaKa4|KingDaKa4]] returned from inactivity and his position as Mayor was restored.

== Iconic Builds ==
WIP

== Trivia ==
- Grenzstadt is the German word for "Border town".

- The Filder[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filder] is a gently rolling and very fertile plateau in southern Germany near Stuttgart.

- Central Grenzstadt is only 300 blocks away from the western world border, and 4,000 blocks away from the southern world border.

- Grenzstadt had one of the most rapid growth rates of any town in the server, rising from five members to one hundred in only a single month.

Doublestep Crisis

Vanillacake: /* Inflation Crisis */

[[Category:Lore]]
The '''Doublestep Crisis''', also known as the '''Doublestep Inflation Crisis''' or '''Doublestep Debt Incident''', was a brief server economic crisis that occurred between May 7th and May 8th 2026. The crisis saw over $1,000,000 of inflated funds generated by just a few players overnight, which had to be deleted to avoid breaking the [[Economy_System|economy]].

==History==
===Origins===
The seeds of the crisis were planted on May 7th 2026 when Lootmeister's selection of illegal items was rotated to include the block Doublestep. Lootmeister's deals are intended to be seasonal ways of making some extra money by selling illegal items obtained via the [[Shrines]].

However, when Doublestep was added to Lootmeister's shop, the quantity that had to be sold was set to x1 instead of x64. This meant that when a player sold x64 Doublestep to Lootmeister, they earned $1,792 rather than the intended $28. Additionally, the money and chest space for Lootmeister, like that of the [[Economy_System#Selling_to_Admin_Shop|Admin Shop]], is infinite, unlike player chest shops. As a result, players could sell infinite amounts of Doublestep to Lootmeister without the threat of the shop running out of money or the chest running out of space.

===Inflation Crisis===
Several hours after the addition of Doublestep to the Lootmeister shop, https://minotar.net/helm/MrRaccoon44/16.png [[User:MrRaccoon44|MrRaccoon44]] discovered the error in Lootmeister's shop and used it to make nearly $23,000. Word quickly spread to the other players online at the time. After they had sold out their own quantities of Doublestep, they cleared out the various server shops at the mall, /warp capital, and /warp warehouse of not only Doublestep, but also Step, Stone, and even Cobblestone, which were smelted down, crafted, and exchanged at the shrine for more Doublestep.

Three hours later, [[Ranks#Senior_Moderator|Senior Moderator]] https://minotar.net/helm/Discoo/16.png [[User:Discoo|Discoo]] removed the Doublestep sell sign at Lootmeister, and [[Ranks#Administrator|Administrator]] https://minotar.net/helm/zavdav/16.png [[User:zavdav|zavdav]] installed a sign with the correct sell price. But by then, the damage had already been done; roughly $1,090,427 had been earned through Doublestep sales to Lootmeister by 10 players.

===Resolution & Doublestep Debt===
On May 8th, Administrator https://minotar.net/helm/SvGaming234/16.png [[User:SvGaming234|SvGaming234]] logged onto the server and learned of what had occurred overnight. He and fellow [[Staff_List|staff]] members https://minotar.net/helm/RobertWesner/16.png [[User:RobertWesner|RobertWesner]] and https://minotar.net/helm/VanillaCake__/16.png [[User:VanillaCake__|VanillaCake__]] spent the next few hours undoing the inflation crisis by calculating the amount of unintended money earned by each player who sold Doublestep to Lootmeister and using admin powers to seize and delete the extra cash. The three players who lacked the money to be seized due to their spending were thrown into debt. After 24 hours, all debts were repaid and the crisis ended.

Vanillacake:

These are the ranks on BetaMC in-game and on the discord.

== Player Ranks ==
=== '''Player''' ===
The default rank for players on the server. They lack the donator perks and any special commands or powers.

=== '''Donator (+/++)''' ===
Awarded to players who have donated a total of $15 CAD or more. Donator+/++ are $30 CAD and $60 CAD respectively, though they provide no further benefits.

* ''/hat'' - to wear blocks and items on their head
* Chat and sign colors
* Custom join & quit messages
* The logblock tool (See who placed a block)
* Access to future additional donator perks

=== '''Trusted''' ===
Trusted is a rank given to extremely prominent Beta community at large members, often longtime staff members of other top Beta servers. This rank is seldom given out and is done so at the discretion of server Administrators. Do not ask for this rank.

== Staff Ranks ==

=== '''Trial-Moderator''' ===
The rank given to one who has been accepted onto the staff team on a trial basis to start. The objective is to determine whether they will be a good fit to be a Moderator on the server. Through shadowing Moderators and demonstrating good staff conduct and skills they may be promoted though there is no set time period to remain a Trial-Mod before promotion. 
Trial-Mods have access to many commands used for staffing including:
* Logblock commands
* Ban, Kick and Mute
* Socialspy
=== '''Moderator''' ===
Moderators are the primary rule enforcers and player assistance on BMC. They have a strong understanding of server rules and commands. 
Moderators have additional powers over Trial-Mods including:
* Flying
* Logblock rollback
* Other secret powers....
=== '''Senior Moderator''' ===
Senior Moderators are long-time highly competent Moderators, rewarded for their efforts with extra permissions and trust. Their function and abilities are largely identical to Moderators, with some extra powers tacked on top.
=== '''Developer''' ===
As the name suggest Developers develop new features for BMC. This may be in the form of plugins, web development or other server related projects. 
Developers do not have access to rule enforcement commands but as a reward for their work improving the server they receive benefits such as they ability to fly and more.
=== '''Administrator''' ===
Administrators are the senior level staff of BMC. Their duties vary but include server community management, server policy & rules, and management of the moderation team. Admins possess an in-depth knowledge of BMC history, policy, and the general workings of the server and are longtime and prominent players in the community. 
Administrators have access to nearly all commands on the server including:
* World Edit
* World Guard
* Jperms commands

=== '''Operator''' ===
Operators are the highest level of staff on BMC. They have access to all possible commands and have access to the server backend. The role of Operators is to maintain server uptime, govern the server backend, and manage complex server issues.
The Operator role is only shown on the discord. Ingame, they are identified by a light red name or a light red tilde (~) prefixing the nickname.

==SquirtVille==

Egg was welcomed in on day one of his arrival by [[User:Amfman|Amfman]] and was shown the wonderful town of [[Squirtville|SquirtVille]]. Egg was made an assistant by [[User:R0LU|R0LU]] on December 8, 2025. He is a very loyal member of Squirt and would protect it at all costs.

==EggTown==

EggTown is his base in SquirtVille, however a town of the same name was made by him on February 18, 2026. It's currently an inactive town with future plans of being a nation of SquirtVille.

EggBot751 is 751 because he made the other 750 eggs into omelets. EggBot752 is a chicken that lives on The Barce SMP Season 2 in the attic of user makemedizzy.

==Interior Service==

Egg provides an Interior Service for players to hire him to make their interiors. Also provides building services. Members of SquirtVille get services for free, while other players have to pay based on the size of the build. You can find the Interior Service Skyscraper in SquirtVille by using the /v warp treefarm and turning around.

'''VanillaCake__''', often shortened to '''Vanilla''', is an active Moderator and server donator. He is best known for co-leading the city of [[Grenzstadt]], owning the [[mall]] shop Vanilla's Wares & Spares!™, and for creating various puzzles within some of his builds.

==Player History==
===Initial Discovery===
VanillaCake__ discovered '''BetaMC''' in the early morning of January 31st, 2026. Within a few hours, he had founded his personal base, [[Shiverdale]] in some snowy plains. Later that day, he chose to join https://minotar.net/helm/KingDaKa4/16.png [[User:KingDaKa4|KingDaKa4]]'s small village of Grenzstadt, interested in making something bigger out of the 5-player tribe.

===The Rise of Grenzstadt===
Whilst VanillaCake__ originally planned to focus on Shiverdale, he grew hooked on the idea of turning Grenzstadt into one of the server's largest towns whilst constructing his first build in Grenzstadt, the City Hall. Two days later, VanillaCake__ became Grenzstadt's first assistant as recognition for his activity in building and terraforming in the area. By the end of VanillaCake__'s first week as assistant, Grenzstadt had grown from a 5-player Tribe to a 30-player Town.

From there on, VanillaCake__ built various important and iconic structures in Grenzstadt, such as the Spawn Terrace/Castle, the City Vault, the Palasfeld Wall, and his infamously long-unfinished Manor. He also terraformed most of the flatlands upon which other players built, wrote Grenzstadt's rules, and hid several puzzles within his builds. During this time, he successfully applied to become a Trial Moderator.

On March 8th, a little over a month after VanillaCake__ first joined the server, Grenzstadt reached 100 members. To celebrate, he created and launched the Grenzcord, before resuming efforts to expand the growing city. Less than two weeks later, Grenzstadt experienced its first and only major grief, which VanillaCake__ helped organize both the removal of the lavacasts and the retaliatory countergrief of the culprits in nearby Fartonia.

When [[User:KingDaKa4|KingDaKa4]] decided to take a break from BMC on March 30th, his final action in the server was to grant VanillaCake__ the position of Regent-Mayor in Grenzstadt to run the city for the following months. VanillaCake__ used this position to host an anniversary build competition on April 24th, exactly a year after the foundation of Grenzstadt in 2025.

===Outside of Grenzstadt===
Though he had previously constructed the exterior of a Grenzstadt embassy in Oasis, VanillaCake__ had largely remained uninvolved outside of Grenzstadt aside from staffing matters. This began to change in late March when he started construction on the Grenzstadt embassy in Azuria, followed by his participation in [[Jenga]].

In April, he continued building medium-sized builds in other towns (e.g. [[Fractalis]]) and took a particular interest in [[SpawnTown]]. First, on April 10th, he constructed a large, castle-esque building next to [[Cow's Bakery]] to contain a new Grenzstadt stargate. Then, after a mall clearing on April 14th, he created Vanilla's Wares & Spares!™. The shop quickly became one of the most active player stores not only in the mall, but the entire server, thanks to its selection of items, good prices, and frequent resupplies. At the end of the month and into the start of May, Vanilla's Wares & Spares!™ was expanded into the newly created Vanilla Tower.

===Staff Tenure===
VanillaCake__ applied to become a staff member as soon as he was eligible on March 1st, 2026. He was subsequently accepted and promoted to Trial Moderator on March 5th. 13 days later, he became a full server Moderator, and one of the most active members of the larger staff team.

'''VanillaCake__''', often shortened to '''Vanilla''', is an active donator and an assistant in [[Grenzstadt]].

==Player History==
===Initial Discovery===
VanillaCake__ discovered '''BetaMC''' in the early morning hours of January 31st, 2026. After quickly securing some resources, he founded a base called Shiverdale in the snowy plains some few thousand blocks away from spawn. Later that same day, https://minotar.net/helm/KingDaKa4/16.png [[User:KingDaKa4|KingDaKa4]] came online and advertised his village, the tribe of Grenzstadt. Being interested in joining a village and having had already looked into Grenzstadt earlier that day, VanillaCake__ was eager to join.
===Developing Grenzstadt===
Though he initially intended to work on his own base for the time being rather than another village, VanillaCake___ felt inspired to begin constructing a communal gathering building in Grenzstadt. Within two days of joining, he completed the construction of Grenzstadt Hall. From there, he only grew more passionate about developing the tribe into a thriving town.
After completing Grenzstadt Hall and terraforming several low hills, VanillaCake__ was recognized for his efforts by https://minotar.net/helm/KingDaKa4/16.png [[User:KingDaKa4|KingDaKa4]] and granted the rank of assistant. VanillaCake__ went on to transform Grenzstadt into a town; clearing and flattening terrain, laying down roads, constructing a tree farm, creating the village rules, and inviting over a dozen members, all in the span of just a few days.
