📍 Point 2k2k: The Tale of Procrastination, Pyromania, and the Wrath of Califrog
In the sprawling wilderness of the Art3mis Channel 2 Map lies a sacred and smoldering crater of regret, rebirth, and revenge known simply as Point 2k2k. To the untrained eye, it may look like the aftermath of a Redstone enthusiast sneezing TNT Duper all over the terrain—but behind the debris lies a cautionary tale about coding procrastination and the explosive consequences of disappointing your friends.
💻 It Started, Like Most Catastrophes, With “I’ll Do It Later”
MoNoLidThZ, server architect and part-time code sorcerer, had a job to do: Writing Software, doing server configs, plugin debugging, maybe patching something important like authentication modules or chunk loading performance. Instead, he logged onto Minecraft, cracked his knuckles, and proclaimed:
“One lavacast won’t hurt.”
What followed was not “just one.” No, what followed was a monolithic 35-block-tall Lavacast, a mountainous monument to everything except productivity. Lava flowing like the lost tears of abandoned code, hardened into obsidian faster than GitHub tickets closed without commits.
It was so pointlessly massive that it earned a name in local legend:
“Mount TODO.”
💥 Enter Califrog: TNT-Lover, Admin, and Judge of Procrastination
Califrog—co-admin, co-founder, and full-time TNT enjoyer—caught wind of this... monument. And he was not amused.
“You had one job,” he reportedly grunted, while priming a stack of TNT like a man preparing a cleanse.
In a moment of administrative justice only matched by Starship Troopers and Helldivers, Califrog tied MoNoLidThZ to the summit, declared him guilty of Wasting 140 Minutes of Potential Dev Time, and blew the entire lavacast to kingdom come.
It wasn’t just planting TNT. Oh no, Califrog deployed a cocktail of mayhem: After first explosion that didn't quite "kill" him, he WorldEdited in several thousands more TNTs to MoNoLidThZ's Name.
🏛️ A Landmark is Born
Now, Point 2k2k stands as a memorial site, a monument of mistakes, and a subtle threat to all developers on the Art3mis network:
"Ship your code, or Califrog will ship you to the stratosphere."
Tourists now can visit Point 2k2k to:
- Collect charred cobblestone samples
- Take selfies next to the TNT crater
- Leave passive-aggressive signs that say things like “Should’ve been a pull request”.
📚 Historical Lore Note
The Lavacast was estimated to contain:
- 70 blocks tall of alternating Cobblestone-Obsidian "Core" (already blew up by the TNT)
- Estimated molten guilt duration: 140 minutes of idle time
- A single captured soul: MoNoLidThZ, who to this day "codes a little faster when Califrog logs on."
🧨 Moral of the Story?
If you’re going to procrastinate:
- Don’t leave physical evidence in Minecraft.
- Don’t make it visible from the map overview.
- Don’t do it on a server where one of the admins owns a TNT warehouse and a sense of “creative justice.”
Because in Project Art3mis, lava flows, obsidian remembers, and Califrog always has a flint and steel ready. 🔥
📍Point 2k2k: You can visit. But don’t build. Or else...
Time Wasted
Absolutely, let’s crunch the numbers to estimate just how much real-world time MoNoLidThZ yeeted into the molten void building the Lavacast at Point 2k2k—only to have it all yeeted back by Califrog’s TNT therapy session.
🧪 Lava Flow Mechanics in Minecraft (Java Edition)
Lava flows:
- 3 blocks in the Overworld
- 7 blocks in the Nether
BUT—when Lavacasting, you're building in tall vertical columns, using lava buckets at the top, letting them flow horizontally and vertically to form the signature triangular melt-blob.
In the Overworld, each lava source placed at the top flows 3 horizontal blocks, and 1 vertical block every ~30 game ticks, or 1.5 seconds per block (Java lava is slower than capitalism reform).
🔥 Estimation: Lava Flow Time for 200 Blocks Vertically
Let’s assume MoNoRi-Chan did this in the Overworld, and from the top down, letting lava drip all the way.
Lava descends 1 block every ~1.5 seconds.
So:
200 vertical blocks × 1.5 seconds/block = 300 seconds
300 seconds = 5 minutes per flow
Now multiply that by each “lava slice” of the lavacast, estimated at 35 wide:
5 minutes × 35 = 175 minutes
🧨 Estimated Time Wasted by MoNoLidThZ: ~3 hours
That’s 3 hours of slow, deliberate, bucket-by-bucket procrastination... patiently watching lava cascade like some kind of molten performance art—only for Califrog to arrive with a duffel bag full of TNT and rebrand it as a crater.
✍️ Summary in Satirical Format
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Lava Flow Speed (Vertical) | 1.5 seconds/block |
| Height of Cast | 200 blocks |
| Time per Source Flow | ~5 minutes |
| Width of Lavacast | 35 blocks |
| Total Time Wasted | 175 minutes / ~3 hours |
| Time until Califrog’s TNT Drop | ~3.01 hours |
| Net Gain for MoNoLidThZ | ✨Trauma & A Life Lesson✨ |
Final Thoughts: Next time someone asks you what the real cost of procrastination is, just tell them:
“About 35 lava buckets, 3 hours, and a friend with access to
/give tnt 64.”
🔥 RIP Point 2k2k. You weren’t the project we needed. But you were the mistake we deserved.
