Turtle Grove is a settlement in Bankrekka, the current survival world of the Ravenkraft Network. Located at −1441, 83, −141 in region r.-3.-1, approximately 1,441 blocks west and 141 blocks north of spawn, it is one of the more feature-rich near-spawn settlements in the western corridor. The same region contains the Aquarius Aquarium, a large community build imported from the Diaspora world era.

Settlement Layout[edit]

Turtle Grove sits at y=83 with significant vertical range — surrounding features extend from deep underground (y=7, TrainCarts) to high terrain (y=121+, mine and mushroom house). Named areas include:

Brickleberry Hill[edit]

An elevated district at approximately (−1478, 105, −379) named Brickleberry Hill. Two signs mark its boundary, and a third at (−1468, 106, −376) carries the unofficial tagline:

Made with 100% all-natural, locally-sourced ingredients.

Southeast Gate[edit]

A gated entrance structure at approximately (−1508, 106, −298 to −306) at y=106, confirming Turtle Grove has a defined perimeter with a named entry point.

Storage Complex[edit]

A row of community storage chests at (−1452, 71, −154 to −165), labeled across 12 categories: Tools · ~Food~ · ~Mob Drops~ · ~Nether Stuffs~ · ~Minerals~ · ~Orgasmic Materials~ · ~Wood~ · ~Dirt~ · ~Sand/Gravel~ · ~Diorite/Granite/Andesite~ · ~Stone~ · ~Cobble~

Mine Complex[edit]

A mountain mine entrance at (−1528, 121, −393) with mine storage at y=127–128 (Copper, Brick, Dirt, Stone, Wood, Deepslate, Organic, Misc. Blocks). A Mushroom House Escape Hatch at (−1515, 121, −397) provides an alternate exit.

Park / Overlook[edit]

A named "Park / Overlook" at (−1211, 103, −128), elevated at y=103. The back of the sign reads "Hi!" — a greeting for approaching visitors.

Infrastructure[edit]

Underground TrainCarts[edit]

A TrainCarts rail runs at the extreme depth of y=7 (near bedrock) under the settlement at approximately (−1415–1416, 7, −117): slowgravity False, maxspeed 1.5. This is the deepest confirmed TrainCarts installation in the regions scanned to date.

Oasis Mining Co. Fireworks Machinery[edit]

A named automated fireworks launcher at (−1218, 74, −20) operated by Oasis Mining Co., with sign-controlled settings:

Encore Burst — ON / OFF
Fireworks — ON / OFF

The Red Dripstone Apparatus at (−1253, 70, −3) is a named redstone/dripstone mechanism in the same area.

Historical Site — Server Meeting (August 13, 2016)[edit]

At approximately (−1252–1254, 105, −40), three signs document an old gathering site:

"Server Meeting 8/13/16" — dated August 13, 2016
"Git Gud"
"Artifacts of the first fire pit gladitorial battles"

The 2016 date predates Bankrekka's 2022 founding by six years, indicating this is an import from Alpha Centauri IV or an earlier world. It likely marks the site of an old server event — a community meeting followed by gladiatorial combat at a fire pit arena. Among the oldest documented player-built artefacts in Bankrekka.

Aquarius Aquarium[edit]

Region r.-3.-1 contains the Aquarius Aquarium at approximately (−1130, 70, −90), a large interactive community aquarium imported from the Diaspora world era. Originally a mining outpost built March 2020, it was expanded into a full aquarium complex with fish exhibits, a coral reef section, dolphin and turtle tanks, a gift shop, and a fish taxonomy display. Operated by player theoubre. See Aquarius (Bankrekka) for full details.
