Menders (Earth World)

For the company of the same name in Vegatable/Multi/Jenny Earth World, see Menders (Multi Earth World).

Menders™, also known as Menders Inc. or simply Menders, was a company founded in the Earth World series that existed throughout the majority of Earth World Mark VI and all of Earth World Mark VII. It was originally founded by AbolishSuburbs (Mich) while he was in the nation Starymglia and it specialized in selling valuable items, which included enchanted books, high-level armor, tools, and weapons, shulker boxes, and elytra.

Founding (Earth World Mark VI)
By the beginning of Earth World VI, Mich had begun to see his grinding on the server pay off, with him becoming wealthier as time went on. At this time he was still in the Empire of Starymglia and quickly grew to become one of the more richer members of the country, with him increasing his count in diamond blocks, iron, and other valuables. After establishing a secret base far out into the Outer World, he stumbled upon a village one thousand blocks away which contained a Mending villager. This excited Mich, as not only he needed Mending books for a while now to completely max-out his gear, he also grown interest in creating a business to sell enchanted books and other expensive items. Mich would then start Menders™, an informal company unrecognized by the government of Starym, where he would mainly sell Mending books. After discovering AFK fishing farms, he would soon also use those to his own advantage. AFK fishing farms allowed him to grind for enchanted books of all kinds, not just Mending, and got him other items such as saddles, fish, and salmon that he could also sell. Other items he would sold were horse armor, shulker shells and boxes, dragon heads, and elytra. His company would began to formalize, although it never had an official logo or headquarters of the sort, the latter due to Starymglia's refusal to recognize the company officially. Due to Menders™, Mich would begin to become one of the richest players on the Mappercraft server at the time, with him having several stacks of diamond blocks and having a virtual monopoly on Mending enchanted books, shulker boxes, and elytra. Although he did have some competition in the expensive items market, they did not exact undercut his relatively inexpensive prices of the era. After the Second Starym-Araga War and his subsequent arrival into Araga, Menders™ became less relevant as the server became less active.

Decline (post EW6 and EW7)
The end of Earth World Mark VI meant an at-the-time indefinite halt of the Menders™ company. Between the time between October, 2017, and April, 2019, Menders™ had begun being referred to as Menders Inc. in retrospect and began to become some sort of meme in the Mappercraft community. However, by the start of Earth World Mark VII in April, 2019, Menders™ would soon see a revival. This is where Menders™ actually first began to be officially recognized, wherein it became a public company in the Aragan Union. Despite revival though, Menders™ did not see sales as it used to, as the expensive items market it had a monopoly on just one Earth World previous would become very saturated, people had no incentive to buy items they had sold as most had maxed-out gear and stuff of the sort already, and that activity on the server was very low.
