Argoth has always been a welcoming, inclusive community. Building standards aren't super-strict; just don't make ugly cobblestone/wood huts. New residents are given a full stack of smooth stone, plus access to the community chests and farms for other useful building materials. Several revisions ago this ethos — plus the fact that Argoth's colors are red-white-red — earned the city the "communist" label, which stuck.

Argoth is a major city on PvE revision 8. Located next to the north-east nether portal for easy access, Argoth is on the corner of four biomes: the vast snowy wastelands to the north, a deciduous forest to the east, a jungle to the southeast, and the map's central ocean to the south.

Argoth has always been a welcoming, inclusive community. Building standards aren't super-strict; just don't make ugly cobblestone/wood huts. New residents are given a full stack of smooth stone, plus access to the community chests and farms for other useful building materials. Several revisions ago this ethos — plus the fact that Argoth's colors are red-white-red — earned the city the "communist" label, which stuck.

If you'd like to join the city of benevolent communists, contact a mayor in-game or post on the subreddit, /r/newargoth.

Districts and neighbors

Some of these are districts of Argoth itself, others are independent regions. Regardless, all are linked by road and rail.

  • Central Argoth is the heart of the city, located in a flat valley

North:

  • The massive Nether Courtyard, designed by castelnau. The central rail terminal, a wool farm, and the PvE Lotto station can be found here.
  • The Spleef Arena, designed by Sapphric
  • The independent town of Kalmos (formerly known as North-Argoth)

North-east:

East:

  • The East Argoth district, jokingly referred to as the Built-by-Skydaddy district because of the crazy amount of quality buildings he's created there. East Argoth is a mix of towers and more low-key residential plots.

North-west:

  • An unnamed NPC village, depopulated due to server derp
  • The PvP Arena, currently under construction

West:

  • The Valley of the Dead. Gotta stash those bodies somewhere.
  • A Minecraft version of the real-life Russian monument, The Motherland Calls, built by bencvt

South:
