Iris

Flag of Iris

Iris is a walled village that argetlam04 lives in. It is an island situated in south-central Montrose, and is named for the purple flower that symbolizes wisdom and bravery. It has evolved many times over his stay, which are detailed below:

Original Island of Iris

The first Iris was arget's first ever project on LGS. It took him many days to flatten the part of the island that needed it, gather resources, build, and furnish it. It was a two chunk by five chunk rectangle, created to best use the 10 claims allotted for his estate by the Montrosian Constitution. Inside of the wall, that ran along the edge of the chunk boundaries, arget created five houses, a square for villagers, and his own house, Castle Iris. Villagers were intended to live in the houses and stalls in the square, but that ultimately failed. Castle Iris was completely surrounded by obsidian, with all of arget's valubles inside of it. Some months after its finish, arget and Abstacious flattened the rest of Iris to turn into farms. A giant memorial to the toeGANG deity Brain Stem was also erected to the north of Iris out of black wool, and stands there to this day. The general layout of Iris 1, with minor changes, remained from his date of joining (February 17th, 2019) to the end of the War of Northern Aggression.

Where Iris used to be v.s. where it was moved

Iris 1 was attacked and aesthetically destroyed by Vailan in the War of Northern Aggression. Castle Iris was not penetrated because of its obsidian casing, but the houses and square were destroyed. Much landscaping had to be done to repair the ground under Castle Iris, and argets ultimate decision was to scrap the old Iris design in favor of a new one. It was to be a three by three chunk square, keeping the walls on the bottom right side of the original Iris. The whole thing would be occupied by a square for villagers centered around four beacons in a tower. No one knows where arget moved his valuables though, especially after ender chests were removed.

Additions to Iris 2:

Iris 2, beacons, chicken farm, bamboo farm, and bee dome

After the completion of the walls, many aspects were added to and around Iris 2. A passive bamboo farm was added, semi-AFK tree farm, and eventually a feather and

chicken farm. The largest addition around Iris 2 was a glass dome for bees, after arget was able to acquire some in 1.15. It consists of three rings of jungle trees of increasing height surrounded by many flowers, but predominately alliums (argets favorite flower) around the entrance for the bees to pollinate.

Construction of the Village:

Iris' borders after being "geometric-ified"

Planning of Iris 3 began on March 12th, 2020, and construction began the day after. There was no reason to create this similar to the creation of Iris 2, but arget had just finished updating the MID and had some ideas he wanted to implement. The intent was to have a fully functioning industrial villager trading area on the island that was better than that of any other nation on the server, including the Montrose Industrial District. The whole island was to be walled in, which required geometric-ifying the edges, the villager stalls to be removed, and various smart villager farms to be instated from top to bottom. Iris currently contains a fully automatic villager breeder, a tree farm, a sheep farm, a super smelter, a cow shed, a weapon of mass destruction, two villager vending machines, a regular villager trading hall, and a square. arget's part in the construction of Iris 3 ended on June 18th, but CreeperColder finished the last part, a nature walk, on ___.

Construction of the Castle

After finishing the village area of Iris 3, arget decided to add a castle where Iris 2 used to be. The castle is named Castle Iris 2. Construction of that castle began on June 16th, just before Iris 3 was finished. arget had built the castle in a creative testing world and had spent many days on perfecting it before construction was started on LGS. It consists of five main walls in the shape of a pentagon, with a guardhouse/gate at the tip of it. In its center lies a tall tower with a viewing house on top. Construction ended on ___
