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 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 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.
