'''Rock999's Village''' was a self-sufficient settlement built by [[Rock999]] in the far western reaches of [[Zothique]], approximately 2,000 blocks west of spawn. The village contained practical infrastructure: a [[Villager]] repopulation center, enchanting and alchemy facilities, animal pens, and a storage complex — supplemented by a series of public spawner dungeons and an elaborate puzzle entrance to an underground area.

== Overview ==

The settlement occupies r.-4.0, a region otherwise sparsely developed. Rock999 built across a moderate footprint centered around x:-1959, z:230, with associated structures ranging as far as -1800, z:301 to the east. The village is noted in Nether region r.-1.-1 records as "Rock999's Fortress," consistent with its remote western position.

== Notable Structures ==

=== Villager Repopulation Center ===
A dedicated facility at ~-1959, z:238–250 for breeding and maintaining [[Villager]] populations, with a separate "Farmer's House" at -1933, z:235. Signs reference "Rails & Coat-tails" at -1956, z:250 — a rail connection likely linking the village to the main network.

=== Enchanting House and Alchemy ===
An enchanting facility and alchemy (brewing) house are sited at ~-1977, z:240–250, providing the full suite of progression infrastructure.

=== Yon Yon Ranch ===
An animal ranch at -1963, z:273 with storage facilities. "Yon Yon" is a play on Rock999's Ranch name.

=== Phantom Lodge ===
A lodge structure at -1800, z:301 bearing the name "Phantom Lodge" — possibly a waypoint or named rest stop on the road west from [[Fort Phantom]] territory.

=== Rot's Plot ===
A claim at -1782, z:329 belonging to [[Rottorz]], labeled "Rot's Plot." Rottorz is known elsewhere in Zothique (Rot Tower, Twin Towers in r.1.-1; Rot's Hideaway in r.-2.0) — this western claim is the farthest confirmed Rottorz location in the world.

=== Puzzle Dungeon Entrance ===
At -1744, z:159 (y:87), a sequence of three signs marks a puzzle dungeon entrance:
* "Only the graves of the dead will lead you underground"
* "Take a Leap of ... faith"
* "Follow the Pumpkins — Look for Two torches"

The puzzle mechanics are underground. No exit signs survive at surface level.

=== Public Spawner Dungeons ===
Multiple mob spawners were made public:
* Slime chunks at ~-1977, z:74 and ~-2001, z:80 (Rock's notes: "Found slimes here", "More slimes")
* Two zombie spawners at ~-1973, z:79 and ~-1980, z:85 (linked in a dual-spawner dungeon)
* A skeletal spawner referenced in Nether r.-1.1 records: "Rock's Spawner, Free to use, Dont break" at -155, z:831

== Lore ==

Rock999 left a consistent trail of self-authored signs: "Rock wuz here," "Rock is the Best," and "Rock is da BOMB!!!" appear throughout the settlement and surrounding area. This voice, combined with the careful infrastructure (public spawners labeled "Don't break, Public use"), marks Rock999 as a practical builder who prioritized community utility over aesthetics.

The "Rails & Coat-tails" sign at z:250 confirms a rail connection existed — likely a spur off the main western line — though the station endpoint has not been cataloged.
