Way back after s1, dec sent out a public download for the original s1 Mianite world, with all the builds and everything in the same condition that the last episode left behind.
I went back on my copy of it with Optifine (in 1.15.2) and took a bunch of photos and...wow.
Not only are the builds simply gorgeous, but it brings back so so many amazing memories. Anyone who was around for s1 and is still apart of the community today understands how important this series is to so many. Going back through it after so long made me very nostalgic.
I was 13 back then. I’m almost 19 now. I am absolutely astounded by the impact this has had on me growing up.
A silly little world with silly players and an astounding story behind it all.
I’ll post the rest of the images tomorrow for Mianite’s 6 year anniversary, but enjoy this one for now. Hope it hits you right in the feels.
I have about 19 more of the whole map, so I’ll post that batch tomorrow.
OKAY so I made a playlist of every video that has major lore importance from Jordan's pov in season 1 AND I compiled timestamps for EVERY video for easy consumption
(episodes with the timestamps and context for what happens between episodes under the cut; context is bolded and italicized, stuff in brackets is additional stuff that happens in the episode that is important, but not enough to be in the cut)
1- full episode (26 min)
2- full episode (19 min)
5- 22:55-27:30 (4 min)
8- 12:25-end (6 min)
context: Tom went rogue and started killing everyone senselessly, Nadeshot had shown great interest in joining team Ianite, and Jordan switched to the Sphax texture pack
11- full episode (32 min)
12- full episode (31 min)
context: Jordan moved out of his house and into a secret base so no one could steal his items and kill him repeatedly, and Tucker was given a sword from Mianite called The Blade of Truth
17- full episode (41 min)
context: Tucker and Sonja started construction on a fortress to help defend in the war
19- 3:40-7:45 (3 min)
[at 15:15 Tony Modestep kills Jordan unprompted while invisible and says "1-1" in chat]
context: Jordan helped Tucker and Sonja trap the entrance of their fortress in case of attack, and also mostly moved in
23- 2:40-6:20 (1.5 min)

context: with the war over Tom built a new house closer to spawn
31- 5:45-13:40 (8 min)
context: now that the war was over they decided to do weekly Purge events (like the movie franchise) in which all theft and murder was completely legal without repercussions
34- 20:30-end (31 min)
[Cronus (the messenger of the shadows) was there as a Purger just hanging out]
context: between episodes 34 and 50 it was decided that everyone would construct a vault to act as their storage system so that during the purge they didn't have to continue to hid chests, and instead would have secure* places to store their items and keep their beds
*people can't break blocks to get in but if they can get in other ways that's legal and encouraged
during that time the build team for hire (the now disbanded FyreUK) showed up as the Wizards, who for a fee (25-100 diamonds) would build anything asked for. Jordan requested Jerry's Tree 2.0 to be built to the right of his house, just off the shoreline.
they built a court house (the quartz house) so that when someone did break the rules they could have a fair-ish trial to determine guilt
Tom also moved. again.
50- 13:55-28:35 (15 min)
[Jordan stole the Dianite armor fair and square during the purge]

context: everyone got god gifts; Jordan got a beautiful forest around his house, Tucker and Sonja got god armor, and Tom got a ship from Captain Capsize
up until this point Capsize had been flirting with both Jordan and Tom, but things seemed more serious towards Jordan
71- 16:40-end (32 min)
context: between episode 71 and 79 ALL vault theft no matter the time became legal, they were also tasked with building an airship to go to a place called Aethoria to rescue Capsize, with Redbeard supplying materials
79- 11:35-15:50 (4 min)
80- 4:25-end (21 min, somewhat optional, it's mostly building and banter)
context: Skipper then got drunk and crashed the ship, forcing them to make a new one, of which Tom used literally all his remaining diamonds to make diamond wings for
[The artist, putting a simple cake next to a much fancier one: “Aw man, that guy’s cake is way better than mine.” The Audience, gleefully holding up a knife and fork “HOLY SHIT! TWO CAKES!”]
the power went out which means the universe forced my hand to do traditional art
haven’t done this in a while and i’m a bit rusty, but i think it turned out fine, especially if you ignore the background xD
also the scanner sort of blurred some parts, tried to fix them as best as possible.
