|}

=== 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]

Cascadia

2026-04-14T17:59:35Z

Andromedalic:

'''Cascadia''' is a town on '''BetaMC''' owned by [[User:aq2a|aq2a]]. It is an exclusive village with stunning views and scenery. The town is always looking for active people, and encourages prospective builders and members to contact the owner if they are interested in joining.

[[Category:Town]]

{{Infobox Town
| caption = Cascadia
| image = CascadiaPrime.png
| image_size = 400px
| owner = [[User:aq2a|'''aq2a''']]
| assistants = [[User:Orknarok_666|'''Orknarok_666''']]
| members = '''5'''
| founded = '''March, 2025'''
| status = '''Active'''
}}

==Town History==
===Adal===
Before significant development began in '''Cascadia''' it was a claim owned by [[User:aq2a|aq2a]] called Adal. This was a place-holder name as [[User:aq2a|aq2a]] intended to use the land in the future thanks to it's natural beauty. During this time, a number of structures were built in what is now '''Olde Town'''. '''Adal''' was renamed to '''Cascadia''' after the construction of the [[BMC Warehouse]], and developments in the town became more expansive.

===Warehouse Opening===
Upon the completion of the [[BMC Warehouse]], [[User:aq2a|aq2a]] created a stargate next to the mall entrance, linking the shop to spawn. Given the '''Warehouse''' reputation, the shop began welcoming it's new visitors to notable success. Visitors to the '''Warehouse''' also meant visitors to '''Cascadia''', and the town increased notoriety due to it's high standard of building and appealing landscape. This time marks a shift in development in '''Cascadia''' where construction advanced at a rapid pace. Previously construction was fairly staggered, but after this point new buildings rose quite frequently. Large projects outside the city center also began to take shape, and city planning took more of an important role in development.

===Continuing Development===
Today, '''Cascadia''' is still being expanded. With land claims that encompass the entire continent in which it sits, with multiple large projects in the works. Recent developments have led to the construction of The University of Cascadia, as well as the first foundations of a Cascadian Palace.

==Districts==
===City Center===
'''Cascadia's''' city center is the most developed and impressive district in the town. It lies between multiple mountains and is the focus of most construction today. Consisting of mostly commercial and residential buildings, it offers great views and excellent quality of life. Because of it's high standards, it is a restricted building area, requiring the highest level of clearance to build new structures. Although, interior contracts are still available to those of less build clearance.

===Booty Bay===
On the other side of the [[BMC Warehouse]] lies a pirate cove built by [[User:Orknarok_666|Orknarok_666]]. It's style consists of small wooden, or brick buildings stacked upon each other, along with nautical themes of ships and ports. Its development is currently stunted as it's chief builder has all but left the server entirely.

===Cascadian Harbor===
'''Cascadia's''' harbor district wraps around the large mountains that flank the city center. It consists of small coastal homes, warehouses, docks, and ports. Although it's development has been slow in comparison to the city center, it still remains an important project to town leadership.

===Cascadian Underground===
'''Cascadia's''' underground transit system is planned to be quite expansive and include stops at all major districts. Although construction has yet to begin, it is known and documented that there are multiple dungeon systems that lie underneath the town which must have proper infrastructure developed prior to construction.

==Notable Builds==

User:Atalaydavud

Andromedalic:

[[Category:Lore]]
[[Category:User]]

This user is considered an infamous figure in the community.

== April 19, 2025 ==

Atalaydavud was mostly bragging that RMC is better than BMC, while also being banned from RMC for "Underaged, spamming and building nearby someone else's village without permission.". [https://bans.retromc.org/user/d5921777-f660-40bc-bfde-7ee763c2e279 Atalaydavud Ban Page]

== April 20, 2025 ==

He sent a message saying "My dick is 8 inch", along with similar messages where he was claiming he has 148 IQ and just bragging and being obnoxious. [[User:Skilowi|Skilowi]] was trolling him
telling him he is 15, 16, or 11, and he was crashing out over it.
[[User:SvGaming234|SvGaming234]] would make a few tall upside down T-s around his town after being invited to it as a joke about Atalaydavud constantly bragging about his dick. He would end up removing the ones inside the town claims, but leaving the ones around it.

== April 21, 2025 ==

The "'''humiliation of Atalaydavud'''" is an infamous moment in the server's history, where multiple players got mad at Atalaydavud for harassing [[User:Skilowi|Skilowi]] and then trolling them. In the morning he was insulting [[User:Skilowi|Skilowi]]'s title of ''The Great Leader''. Because of the insult, [[User:Skilowi|Skilowi]] used the command ''/v info crc'' to find the cords of his village and stumbled on rest of CRC claims, which was Atalaydavud's city, [[User:Skilowi|Skilowi]] then started to lava cast around Atalaydavud's village [[UpsidedownTsinvariousdirections]]. In response, instead of handling it calmly or through the proper channels, Atalaydavud made a Discord account just to report [[User:Skilowi|Skilowi]]. He stormed into the server’s Discord and began spamming the #dev-talk channel, demanding [[User:Skilowi|Skilowi]] be banned. And Attempted to dox [[User:Skilowi|Skilowi]] by looking at [[User:Skilowi|Skilowi]]'s website. The spam, combined with his tone, annoyed pretty much everyone and quickly turned him into the butt of the joke. Atalaydavud would end up abandoning the area, and unclaiming all the builds leading to more griefing. Atalaydavud tried to reach [[User:Skilowi|Skilowi]]'s town, [[West Korea]], but he was ultimately unsuccessful due to not being able to comprehend the Minecraft coordinate system.

[[File:Atalaydavud -dev-talk.png|thumb]]

But things didn’t stop there. About ten hours later, Skilowi came back for round two — this time targeting the new house Atalaydavud had started building. [[User:SvGaming234|SvGaming234]] jumped in to help, and soon the griefing snowballed into a full-on community event. Around ten players joined the chaos, all helping build a massive series of lava casts around the house. The cast got so thick and dense that it even started leaking lava inside the claimed area, bypassing the claim protections.

[[File:House Lavacast.png|thumb|House Lavacast]]

What started as a simple griefing incident ended up as a full-blown server spectacle, with Atalaydavud’s meltdown and the overwhelming trolling effort turning the whole situation into one of the most memorable and embarrassing events in server lore.

Building Tips

2026-04-02T12:00:06Z

Andromedalic: spelling and punctuation corrections

Welcome to the ''Building Library'' for '''BetaMC'''. This page offers a number of tips and tricks for building amazing structures in Beta 1.7.3 as well as serving a purpose to be a hub for people to link their own style guides, tutorials, or showcases!

==Building in Beta 1.7.3==
If you've never played legacy versions of Minecraft before, you'll notice that there are a few limitations and quirks that make building in these older versions a bit more challenging. But these limitations often lend themselves to greater creativity, and thanks to legacy Minecraft's consistent art style, almost anything you build will look good in this version!
===Limitations===
There are some hard limitations in this version that you'll find in this version that make building different.
* '''Height limit at Y=128''' - One of the largest challenges for big builds, unfortunately cannot be changed without mods which isn't feasible for servers.
* '''No upside-down stairs''' - Stairs can only be placed facing up, they also do not connect in corners.
* '''Bottom slabs only''' - Slabs can only be placed on the bottom half of a the block. (''They will also default to a full block when placing on top of each other, even with a half block of space'')
* '''Logs always face up''' - No log rotation in this version
* '''Fences require a floor''' - You cannot place fences without a block underneath them. (''Scaffolding doesn't need to be permanent.'')
* '''Trapdoors require a block''' - In older versions, trapdoors can not be placed on their own. It must be connected to a block, like doors.

===Choosing a Location===
Depending on the type of build you are going for, the surrounding landscape can play a big part. Builds often look better when they are integrated into the landscape so take your time to find a spot that you really like.
* '''Mountains & Hills''' - Have great views but often require more effort to shape
* ''' Forests & Plains''' - Usually flat and makes building easier, but can make towns feel small.
* '''Deserts''' - Plenty of sand, but no natural trees, good for desert themed builds (duh).
* '''Taiga''' - Snow and spruce trees have great cozy vibes, but you'll have to deal with it covering the ground all the time
* '''Coastal Areas''' - Scenic and great for docks and boats

===Common Styles===
There are a couple of styles that are more common in Beta that you can use to great effect. But if you're more creative, it can be fun to develop your own unique style.

* '''Medieval / Rustic'''
This style uses primarily wood, cobblestone/stone, wool/sandstone for old-timey looking structures. This was and is one of the most popular building styles for this version of the game. These buildings are usually framed with logs and have a bottom floor of cobble and higher floors of wool or sandstone.
* '''Neo-Classical / Grand'''
A great style for more monumental structures that often uses many different stone types to create an imposing, yet beautiful structure. While this style can be difficult to pull off for inexperienced builders, much inspiration can be taken from real life buildings. These structures usually consist of stone, cobble, smooth stone, wool, or sandstone, and use layering to create more detail.
* '''Modern'''
A very popular style in newer versions of the game, this style can be pulled off in Beta. However, it is more difficult due to the restricted block palette. Commonly using smooth stone, glass, planks and snow blocks, this clean and geometric style can be good for skyscrapers and city buildings.
