Alpha Centauri

Alpha Centauri (internal server name: alphac) is a Minecraft survival world on the Ravenkraft Network, representing the fourth and most expansive early era of organized settlement.

Overview[edit]

Alpha Centauri was a large-scale survival world featuring dozens of player-built cities, a complex railway network (ARC — Architecture Street Railroad), Nether highway infrastructure, faction governance, and themed adventuring zones. The world was played primarily in 2013–2014 era Minecraft.

The world's geography spans hundreds of chunks in all directions from spawn, including major urban centers like Babel (spawn city), Isengard, Sher, Mercantile, Taconia, Koi, Archea, and The Hermitage, connected by the ARC railway and Nether portal highway.

Governance[edit]

Individual cities operated under their own governance:

Babel — admin wizardofire; starter city; quest hub
Sher — Mayor Stalin_77; closed city-state
Mercantile — Ruling Magistrates Lordnine and Goldfenix; Free Trade Nation
Archea — Captain Moose696

Railway Network[edit]

The ARC (Architecture Street Railroad) connected most major cities via a hub at Sher Central Station and Heart Station (location unknown). Key lines:

ARC Local (North): Sher → Iken → Nocturne → Koi → Titan → Exodus
Ravenport Express: Sher → Ravenport / Mercantile
Archea Express: Sher → Archea

Nether Highway[edit]

The Nether hub centered near Nether 0,0 provided portal access to most cities. Key junctions:

Eastern highway: Sher (208, 212) → Iken → Sutherland → Hermitage
Southern highway: Archea (188, 283) → Aether → Lichen Nacht → New Port
Western highway: → Ravenport (Mercantile) → Romdeau
Far eastern: Hesperides (405, 19) → Prosidean Point (449, 43)
