Foxshot

Foxshot, is a realistic creative Minecraft build server for Java edition 1.15.2. founded by CraftyFoxe in Fall 2016

To become a builder, you must take a trial and pass with 3 green votes from Mods or a Director vote. The main scale used is 1.5:1 scale, but other scales are used outside of the main world. There are several worlds: Main world, Freebuild, Plotworld, Builder Plot World, Mapsnew, Trainworld, and Sodor

Origins
Foxshot went public in October of 2016. It was created on ideals of a vanilla friendly, an open source downloadable Realistic Creative Server, at the time, many servers did permit world downloads of their maps and required use of texture packs to look good. Before Foxshot, CraftyFoxe played in single player for many years and was unhappy with other realistic creative servers, which used plot systems with little freedom and required texture packs. He decided then to start his own server to work with others. The 1st player to join after CraftyFoxe was Higgsboson728.

Early Days
The first town was nicknamed B-town for Beginner's town and the spawn was a Chase bank building. The first iteration of Downtown was created, however much of the city was influenced by 3_7, who liked to build urban decay. There was also an elevated train and some skyscrapers. Longview was founded as a suburban version of Downtown to build houses. At the time, most people were vehicle builders with little interest in houses, so the trial process forced them to build a house to be used in Longview. The first video of Foxshot was uploaded on December 9th, 2016

It was announced on January 13, 2017 that custom nicknames would cost $100,000 and you may get it by requesting and paying for it by a mod.

On January 14, 2017 Convict rank was created for ex-Builders.

On July 2, 2017 Morty rank was created.

Lt. Builder rank was created on January 4th, 2018 for a Lieutenant Builder. Vet. Builder rank was created on June 30, 2018 for veteran builders that can use a /hat command like Lt. Builders.At some point the spawn changed to the Unisphere, which has a Builder's globe adjacent to it with a globe showing the location of builders throughtout the World.

Foxshot updated to 1.13.2 on November 18, 2018.

Director Election
On April 22nd, 2019, Nyctota also known as "Anna" won the Election for Director, between Nyctota and Tiger. Nyctota announced plans for a reform surrounding Lt. builder. This brought a new era to Foxshot where there was a 2nd director on the server to manage. However his Architect trial system did not produce any new Architects, a new planned rank and Lt.Builder rank was reinstated.

Prison and Trial world was replaced by an automated PlotSquared plot system on August 4th, 2019

On August 12, 2019 Prison world was deleted. A disgruntled builder applecrafterlp griefed the server on August 26th, 2019, destroying many warps systematically. There was an attempt to rollback, but it crashed during it, corrupting many chunks in the process. To insure it does not happen again, a 2-day automatic backup system was purchased in the event of another crash or grief. On September 26, 2019, worldedit was disabled for convicts because a person who failed a trial griefed the plotworld, bypassing restrictions with an exploit, rotating chunks outside his plot. Luckily it was able to be rolled back with a backup. Interior became mandatory on all house trials on November 17, 2019 after a poll 110 to 65.

Foxshot updated to 1.14.4 in December 2019.

Builder plots arrived on January 9th, 2020 with 251 x 251 plots. March 12, 2020 #railfanning channel was created on discord due to the overwhelming popularity of #trains

April 18, 2020 warp Railset was created for rail infrastructure along with /warp heli for helicopters

May 5th, 2020 warp house was established

May 7th, 2021 #netherlands channel was created on discord due to the large Dutch population

Survival World

The Survival map was opened on June 13, 2020 initially as an anarchy map loosely based on 2b2t. However after a few days, it had become far too chaotic and inappropriate so rules were added. There was a green safezone around spawn that protected members from pvp. Later a survival role was added as a whitelist after there was an issue of people killing each other and stealing loot. Later due to disuse, irrelevancy to the rest of the server, the creation of lag with mass spawning of entities in farms such as bees, it was deleted on October 4th, 2020.

Demographics

In the beginning, most of the players were from European countries, but gradually more Americans have arrived to become the most prominent nationality, centralizing around the East Coast of the United States. The second most populous groups are people from the UK followed by Germany and the Netherlands.
