Overworld location - Entity 5

Mu Megabase

Mu, also known as Mu Megabase, was a large group base founded in 2017. After the griefing of Summermelon in May 2017, the Melon Group was left homeless. Around this time, the Nether Highway Group was nearing the end of their dig to the +,+ world border. Since Offtopia and Willyroof knew many members of both the Nether Highway Group and Melon Group, they, along with Joelik, started drawing up plans for a base with members from both groups. After the NHG reached the border, the members joined the Melon Group, as well as some members of the Southern Canal Corp, to come up with ideas for this new base. During this time, Auion, a member of the NHG, discovered the chunk dupe. Since only a few trustworthy members of the group knew how to perform the dupe, it was kept secret for roughly a year before the rest of the server had it. After the dupe was discovered, the plans for the base expanded greatly in scope. Offtopia came up with the name Mu, after the mythical lost continent of the same name, and provided the base banner. A location was decided on, but after coords were accidentally leaked, it was left as a decoy and a new location was chosen. A final plan for the base was agreed on, consisting of a large circular basin with terraformed terrain surrounding a huge mountain, with canals and themed “districts” around the edge. After most of the members arrived at the building site, work started on the central hole. To speed up the process, the base members utilized two layers of flying TNT dupers in order to clear the jungle terrain and carve out the basin. The original plan called for the basin to be 1600 blocks in diameter, but it was scaled down to just 1000 blocks in diameter due to the sheer scale of the bomber project. After the hole was finally carved out, it was filled with a layer of grass, which required multiple dubs of shulkers of grass blocks. After that, the central feature of the base began construction; Mu Mountain, which was designed by Toshie and built mostly by Scribblefoxx, along with help from Totaldarkness, Offtopia and Oldschoolgamerx, was built between February 25 and April 7th 2018. In October 2018, after the chunk dupe finally went public, Thebesandsound created large stashes that could hold massive amounts of resources. One of these stashes was eventually world edited out by Hausemaster after it created a large amount of lag. The base was relatively inactive for most of 2019, with many members getting burnt out by the sheer scale of the project. However, in early 2020, Scribblefoxx invited a few new members to the base, including some former members of Valerian. This breathed new life into the base, and new plans started to be drawn up for the future of Mu. However, after the account exploit of late February 2020, during which many well known members had their accounts logged into, the base was compromised. After transferring most of the resources from the stashes, the base members filled the central basin of Mu with water to make griefing more difficult, submerging the base just as the fictional lost continent of Mu supposedly sunk beneath the waves. Many aspects of the original plan, including the canals and themed districts, were never fully realized. After the base was compromised, Byrnsy revealed the base to the general community on the subreddit.
