Places of Interest[]
The Mountain[]
The Mountain is the large man-made terrain built by PearlescentMoon. The terrain is made of stone, tuff, granite, cyan terracotta, green terracotta, mushroom blocks, moss, jungle planks. It is dotted with custom spruce trees modeled after GoodTimesWithScar's Swaggon trees. It connects to GoodTimesWithScar's Mountain Peaks and Cubfan135's Dripstone Canyon (which has an underground entrance leading into the hollow mountain).
The G-Train Tunnel[]
The G-Train tunnel goes under the western portion of the mountain. The tunnel has pointed dripstone and spruce support beams. A second unfinished tunnel is located next to it.
Big Pumpkin Dude[]
The Big Pumpkin Dude is built on the mountain above the G-Train tunnel. It is the hub for the Moonkin scavenger hunt and is modeled after the Pumpkin Dude custom model that PearlescentMoon wore during Halloween.
The Waterfall[]
Initially going to be the G-Train train station, the waterfall now allows access to the farms inside the hollow mountain. A bridge overlooks the waterfall, and a giant llama sits on the flat part of the falls.
Interior Farms[]
The inside of the mountain has tree farms, a pumpkin farm, a wheat farm, a nether wart farm, and a honey farm. They surround a staircase leading into the main castle.
The Lighthouse[]
The Lighthouse Castle is composed of four towers, with walkways between them. It is built on top of the hollow mountain, and the interior is incorporated into the mountain.
The Central Tower[]
The Central Tower is composed of a large castle base with an entrance facade, six small frontal towers, an upper balcony-house structure with three windowsills, eight boat-shaped balconies fanning out in the shape of a lotus flower, an upper enchanting room in the tower, a lighthouse, and an upper tower roof structure.
The base structure is made acacia logs, light gray and gray concrete, andesite, nether bricks, noteblocks, blackstone, deepslate, light gray and gray wool, black terracotta, spruce planks, and shroomlights. The towers are made of snow, white concrete, red concrete, polished granite, stripped acacia logs, calcite, jungle planks and copper.
First Floor[]
The first floor has the main hall leading to an up and down staircase in the center; a book nook, lounge, living room, dining room, kitchen and unfinished pantry to the left; and a library to the right.
Second Floor[]
The second floor has the bedroom with a balcony overlooking the interior of the hollow mountain, a cat room for Nugget the cat, and a llama room for the Padllama Co. llamas. The main hall connects to a small room under the stairs before a bridge over the main hall connects a brewing room, the storage room, an empty window room overlooking Boatem, and the top of the cactus farm.
Third Floor[]
The third floor is unfurnished and connects to the bridge overlooking the waterfall. One level up, an unfinished balcony connected to the front of the Lighthouse Castle's facade is accessible by elytra.
Upper Level[]
The upper level has five floors. The first floor connects to the eastern and southern towers via walkways. The second and third floors are connected; the second floor has a large table with an enchanting table and bookshelves while the third floor has brewing stands and nether wart. The fourth floor is the lighthouse, filled with a ring of redstone lamps, and a walkway connecting to the northern tower. A broken honey water elevator leads to the fifth floor which is an empty room with sunlight coming in from the open tower roof.
Lower Level[]
The lower level is a small hallway connecting to the cactus farm collection chest. There are three corridors that lead to the farms within the hollow mountain.
Three Smaller Towers[]
There is also a northern, eastern, and southern tower. The eastern and southern towers are connected to the central tower via walkways at the base of the enchanting level. The northern tower is connected to the lighthouse level. The interiors are empty except for several stone platforms in the southern tower.
The Sail Flag[]
Modeled after a boat's sail, the white wool flag connects the central tower to the southern tower.
The Chains[]
Because of the Big Moon incident, PearlescentMoon added three chains holding down the structure: to the northern tower, the southern tower, and the fourth small tower at the base of the central tower.
History[]
Boatem and Building a Mountain[]
In Season 8: Episode 1, after wandering through the wilderness, PearlescentMoon bumped into Grian, GoodTimesWithScar, ImpulseSV, and MumboJumbo and was permanently inducted into the Boatem Crew. To match the boat theme, she built a starter boat house. In Season 8: Episode 7, after the First Boatem Meeting within the Boatem Hole, PearlescentMoon claimed her section of the gigabase (only hampered by Grian's G-Train tunnel and station). She then built an entire mountain. In Season 8: Episode 8, PearlescentMoon flattened the terrain below the mountain so that the inside could be used. She also moved the Discount Beacon with Cubfan135. In Season 8: Episode 9, she built a sign asking GoodTimesWithScar to build above her mountain. She also added custom spruce trees.
Outlining the Lighthouse[]
Matching her starter base's boat theme, later in Season 8: Episode 9, she began building her Lighthouse Castle. She built the central lighthouse tower, southern tower, and sail flag of her Lighthouse Castle out of stone. She also realized that her mountain wasn't big enough, and that she would have to expand the mountain on the left side of the build. In Season 8: Episode 10, Grian marked the southern tower with his signature G and littered her mountain with crafting tables. Later in the episode, she detailed the stone structure, adding the color to the front of the build. She also built the floor in the tower of the central lighthouse tower. In Season 8: Episode 11, she detailed the enchanting level of the central lighthouse tower; she also detailed the back, and turned the lotus flower boats into blackstone. GoodTimesWithScar, after finishing his mountain, left a large sign telling PearlescentMoon to connect her mountain to his.
She also added farms to the inside of the mountain to give her the necessary materials for these builds.
Expanding the Base[]
In Season 8: Episode 12, PearlescentMoon expanded the northern side of her mountain, connected it to GoodTimesWithScar's Mountain Peaks and added the back of the mountain, blending it with Cubfan135's Dripstone Canyon. In Season 8: Episode 13, she covered the mountain in string to prevent snow, and outlined the structure at the base of the central lighthouse tower. She added Big Pumpkin Dude next to the G-Train tunnel, part of the Moonkin scavenger hunt game. In Season 8: Episode 14, PearlescentMoon expanded the base of the central lighthouse tower and built a bridge over the gap that was going to be the G-Train Station. She moved the lotus boats up and built a northern lighthouse tower, and an eastern lighthouse tower. She also built the central and southern lighthouse towers taller, and redesigned the sail flag. In Season 8: Episode 15, she added a waterfall under the bridge for flying into the hollow mountain farms, and built a llama in the water. She also toured the unfinished interior. In Season 8: Episode 16, she showed the main hall, living room, and dining room on the left side of the interior. She also built a staircase down to the farms under her mountain. She then built the library on the right side of the interior. She then built the first upside-down llama Padllama advertisement on the pathway up to the front door of the Lighthouse Castle.
Finalizing the Base Before the Moon[]
In Season 8: Episode 17, PearlescentMoon finished the lower level of the staircase leading to the farms inside her mountain. She also outlined the second floor of her Lighthouse Castle with walls, connecting to the top of her cactus farm and building a storage room. Later in the episode, she showed the interior work she did. She worked on the second floor main hall, she added a brewing room. She detailed the second-floor bridge and walls over the main hall. She added a room for her pet cat Nugget. To hold her base down from the floating blocks caused by the Big Moon, she built three large chains connected to the north, south, and central towers.
In Season 8: Episode 18, she built a room for the Padllama Co. llamas, a totally-not-a-bedroom bedroom with a balcony looking into the hollow mountain. She also finished the kitchen downstairs. She was last seen inside the Lighthouse Castle evacuating her animals into a nether bunker to survive the moon.
