Iserlohn

Iserlohn was a base constructed by PrayedGerm, AreaDenial, and Memezarekey. It was located at X:16000 Z:4000 in the overworld.

As of April 5th, 2021, it has been wiped out by n00b69.

Design
Iserlohn was a monolith with thick walls constructed from obsidian and end portal frames, ultimately rendering it impenetrable. It was roughly 128x128 blocks and extended from bedrock to the world height limit. (256 blocks, as of 1.16)

History
Iserlohn was first conceived by PrayedGerm upon the discovery of Uranium, an unstable item that kicks nearby players from the server. He enlisted the help of AreaDenial to develop a nuclear reactor design which would repeatedly dispense uranium into the world. An array of reactors could then be used to construct a forcefield which would kick any player that approached it. Once the reactor design was finalized, construction on Iserlohn begun. After scouting out a suitable location, a slimestone-based TNT nuker was constructed to destroy the terrain within a 128x128 square down to bedrock. Over the next three weeks, the floors, walls, and ceiling were built, the reactors were installed, and a portal net was constructed to prevent nether portals from spawning within the base's walls. Construction was completed on July 8th, 2020.

Downfall
Shortly after construction finished, Rapture became aware that xpielordx, the server owner, was planning to patch uranium. As had always been the plan, the team decided to put their base to the ultimate test, and prove whether or not it was truly impenetrable. They released the coordinates of their base, and publicly challenged anybody to invade Iserlohn. On August 25th, the Cumcrete Party (CP), a group from another server, successfully raided Iserlohn. They spent several days scouting out the structure, and discovered a weakness in the portal net. The besieging party sent TNT minecarts through the nether into the overworld to destroy enough portals to allow a new nether portal to spawn inside its walls, and successfully gained entry. The CP then raided the loot stash inside, griefed it with end portal frames, and spawned withers inside the structure. Rapture officially congratulated them for their efforts, and Iserlohn was abandoned.Iserlohn sat empty (apart from withers) for many months. On April 5th of 2021, n00b69 wiped Iserlohn off the map by using an exploit to corrupt chunks and reset them. Iserlohn was completely obliterated, with only one chunk left behind.
