Fall of Rock: Oceania Spawn Lost

A major turning point in the geopolitical history of Minto.

On April 8th, 2025 (AU), the Rock claim at Oceania's spawn collapsed. This marked the end of an escalating conflict between the defenders of Rock and an alliance of attackers backed by Vanaheim.

Prelude to Collapse

The tension began to mount ten days before the fall, when players Sangtangs and Tycherus launched a surprise raid on Rock’s northern border. Using invisibility potions and TNT, they breached almost all defense nodes. The defenders, led by Jigsw, managed to log in just in time to repel the attack.

Not long after, a second offensive was attempted. This time, Twixhex joined Sangtangs and Tycherus, launching a southern assault on the Rock claim. Although Jigsw was present, he was outnumbered. The tide only turned when M3mecr4ft, known for his PvP skills, logged on and joined the battle. With his help, the defenders killed both Sangtangs and Tycherus, forcing Twixhex to retreat.

The Upkeep Failure

Despite their military success, the Rock defenders suffered from internal issues. On 8/04/25, the claim unexpectedly ran out of upkeep, causing the anchor to become vulnerable.

Tycherus was the first to notice. Wasting no time, he rushed the anchor and broke it, triggering the full collapse of the base. Inside were hundreds of netherite sets and countless high-value resources, all instantly seized.

Aftermath

The fall of Rock marked the end of Oceania’s spawn as a fortified hub. The attackers swiftly looted the ruins. Most of the valuable items were reportedly transferred by Tycherus to the Europe region, where they remain in an undisclosed location.

This event reshaped regional power dynamics and left a cautionary tale for nations relying on upkeep for protection.
