Outer World

The Outer World in the context of MonsoonJR's Minecraft Server and the Mappercraft Minecraft server refers to the vanilla overworld generation of chunks found outside of a given map's intended limits. This term is most often applied in the context of the Earth World series of worlds; however, the Outer World can also be seen and documented in other worlds, too, including Distorted Asia, Distorted Europe, Distorted Europe Revived, Solace World 1, and perhaps others. too. Players often used the Outer World to gather resources they otherwise would not have been able to get in the main map of the respective world — such as totems of undying — and to create hidden secret bases.

Earth World Mark I
The first appearance of the Outer World phenomena was in the first Earth World. During this time it was often referred to as New Panegia due to the shared vanilla terrain generation of both Panegia World and the Outer World. The first explicit mention and description of the Outer World by this name can be found on the Earth World wiki page on June 28th, 2015, although documentations of its existence were around beforehand, although lackluster; the wiki page in question says, "Lolistan exits the World Map via the North Pole and enters New Panegia, the regular minecraft world outside of the world [sic]." People, including FedexMC, the previously mentioned Lolistan, and TL managed to travel and briefly explore the Outer World, with TL even making a makeshift outpost in Bethan, the dubbed 'continent' found in the Outer World south of Antarctica. Along with that, portions of the Outer World near the northwest corner of the map — (0, 0) — and the north edge were explored for the first time.

Earth World Revived
The second edition of the Earth World series, Earth World Revived, saw more people exploring the mostly uncharted Outer World. Two players especially took it upon themselves to explore and document several NPC villages and other interesting discoveries in what was still dubbed New Panegia: EthanKoenigsberg and pezminer12. Two NPC villages, dubbed Bløuvet and Viking's Square were discovered by the duo; in addition, two 'world wonders' were found by them, which were the Rumanov River, the first river biome found in the Outer World and Rusdov Falls, a waterfall that formed from a water source located inside the edge of a chunk border or corrupted chunk. At the end of the world, two other players, AbolishSuburbs (Mich) and Zionist (KML) created an unnamed outpost and settlement near an NPC village on the north edge of the Outer World.

Earth World Revived Revived
Earth World Revived Revived saw little progress regarding the exploration and settlement of the Outer World, or, at least, minimal exploration and settlement was actually documented.

Earth World Mark IV
In contrast to the previous world, Earth World Mark IV saw significant exploration and settlement of the overworld region outside of the main Earth map; many bases were founded here during this time. By this time, the New Panegia name had been mostly obsoleted and the Outer World name became mainstream among the players of the server. Much more of the Outer World was mapped out by the end of Earth World Mark IV compared to previous worlds.

On May 8th, 2016 TL and Skali found the Outer World through Antarctica and the south pole after the duo previously explored the ruins of the Tamil Empire with Tomad; they founded an exploration base there afterwards.

Sometime during this world, the Gewehr 43 base was founded by FedexMC at a end portal stronghold and as a colony of the Empire of Starymglia,. This was his first Outer World base and was used by him and his friends to store their valuables and gear and to presumably prepare for battles and wars. In addition, a base was founded by then members of Asuka, Mich and Wolfkall, to separate themselves from the chaotic geopolitics going on at the time; this would eventually be called Transglobia and Transblobia and would become a colony of the nation they were apart of.

EthanKoenigsberg and pezminer12 would return to making more outposts in the Outer World during Earth World Mark IV. After being in spectator mode for the entire duration of the world thus far, Ethan would return to survival mode on May 28th, 2016 and created an settlement called Tarcene just north of Mich and KML's old base from Earth World Revived. On the other hand, pezminer12 made several outposts throughout the northern edge of the Outer World, which included one with a few dark oak huts and a cow farm encased in barrier blocks, and one at the northeastern corner of the Earth map.

Distorted Asia
After the first Earth World map came Distorted Asia World, the second world on MonsoonJR's Minecraft Server to contain the Outer World in some form. On July 15th, 2015 FedexMC founded the Harinian Empire south of the bedrock wall that tried to block off players from the region, on an island or large landmass of some sort. Not much else happened or was documented in the Outer World asides from this during Distorted Asia world.

Distorted Europe
Along with the Earth World series and Distorted Asia world, Distorted Europe had an Outer World region of its own. What was interesting about Distorted Europe in particular, though, was that all chunks spanning outside of the map's intended boundaries generated in a Large Worlds preset, rather than the default preset that you would normally see in a Minecraft world. This meant for larger islands, continents, oceans, biomes, and landmasses in general.

In the first iteration of Distorted Europe people mainly used the Outer World to raid villages and other vanilla generated structures to gather loot relatively quickly. During this time, three main settlements or bases popped up: China, a former independent nation turned vassal of the Empire of Tricia located northwest of the main map itself; the Republic of Finnia, VikkezBoy's settlement and nation in a jungle biome far to the south; and a skeleton XP grinder base used by Mich, Cambrian_, and Wolfkall found under an island north of Europe.

In the second iteration of Distorted Europe, Distorted Europe Revived, there occurred many developments in the Outer World during the world's span. First, people, including Cambrian_, Mich, and others began exploring and finding Woodland Mansions in order to gather totems of undying. Second, Mich made two secret bases in the Outer World he used to store valuables and to AFK fish farm, the first base he had lost and could not find again. Third and finally, a player named AntiMof, who is nowadays presumed to be an alt of LemonsDesired or TheSummerDragon, began an ARG-esque campaign that involved cryptic messages in the the in-game chat and exploring the Outer World; relevant to the latter, they guided people who were curious, which at the least included agnius06 and Mich. AntiMof also apparently had a large stash of gunpowder and other resources in the Outer World region, although there exists no sure confirmation or proof of its existence.

Solace World 1
Solace World 1 saw the last instance of the Outer World seen, publicly accessible, and explored on the Mappercraft server. While no known settlements were made in the region outside of the main earth map, several people explored it for search for resources.
