It has always kind of stuck in my craw that the nearest jungle on the Phase 2 map was about 9000 blocks from spawn. People shouldn't have to travel such great distances to get themselves a pet parrot or see some pandas and ocelots in their natural habitat. So, with the help of the Amulet Minecraft editor I created a new jungle on the western edge of the build zone which is easily accessible through the nether roadway system. I would recommend taking a nice, fast horse because after the 500 block journey to the portal from the nether hub it's still about 300 more blocks to the site of the jungle. But 800 blocks of travel sure beats 9000, right!? You'll notice the area I chose used to be savanna and there are still a number of acacia trees mixed in with the jungle trees and oaks. I kind of liked the brighter green foliage of these in the jungle biome so I thought, why not leave them? But if you visit, feel free to cut as many down as you like. I mostly did this to add to the quality of life for our playing community. I hope everyone enjoys this new, somewhat small, but much more accessible jungle.

I've also added a few notable structures from Phase 1 to the Phase 2 spawn area. Across the river from the spawn hub you'll see The Forge super smelter which was originally built on Phase 1 by KneeCola. It's ready to serve you in your bulk smelting or cooking needs with 16 furnaces fed by minecarts with hoppers. Also, for decorative purposes we have SuperTaco's AT-AT between the villager trading ravine and Thewades46's base. Behind the stables and farms, up on the hill is the New Caledonia sign to help everyone know where they are having all of this fun at. 😆

In the near future, if I'm not working on add-on coding projects I'll probably be at my end colony or out in the desert collecting sand. Happy mining everyone!
