Demo Ruins is a terrain build featuring all your favorite Blockland builds in a whole new light. See old default saves and other classics old, destroyed and in ruins.
It all started in Badspot's Block Party almost exactly a year ago. The terrain was great and I wanted to contribute. I saw a small build in ruins and I got the idea of building the Demo House in ruins and putting a little adventure-cave inside of it.
A few days later, DarkScropion and °ªÐråîth³ (I'm_AFK at the time) built their own little demo builds in ruin. Draith built the Demo Fort from Kitchen and DarkScorpion built the Pong from bedroom. I thought these three builds were really neat and would make a wonderful build theme. So I saved Badspot's server and went to my own. Deleted most of the terrain, aside from some that was very close to the Demo House (it was just too pretty to spare, and I loved Barnabas' Highway)
The Demo Ruins build got a pretty large following and became one of my more successful (and favorite) projects. But, like most of my projects.. It eventually died out and people got bored of working on it. I wanted to wait until v21 to start up a project but I've received many requests to bring this one back early: so here it is!
Terrain: Demo Ruins is a community build and we need as much help as we can get. (High points bolded)
- Demo Ruins is the theme of the build, but feel free to build almost anything you want in ruins as long as it isn't an eyesore. We like having a variety of builds as they make the build more unique and fun. It's like Badspot's server (but more managed)
- Build Terrain. We always need terrain! Any decent looking cubescape terrain you can make is a huge help.
- Blend with the terrain around you. This is the number one rule of terrain builds, and if you don't do it, your terrain will be deleted..
- Add adventures and secrets to your build. Hidden areas and Easter eggs are one of the things that make the best Blockland builds so unique and fun to explore. (Reward secrets with Treasure Chest brick) Have a lot of fun with this one. Make puzzles and challenges. Take advantage of the default tools like Colored Keys, Telebricks, Checkpoints and Events. We really want more adventures. (If you need help or inspiration, look at Demo House and Badspot's Sandy Hole)
- Feel free to build your own ruined builds on your terrain, but don't add Demo/Default builds unless you've talked with Jirue. We already have a lot of special plans for specific default builds.
- If you really want to ruin a certain build, you can ask Jirue about it, or put that build on a baseplate separate from the terrain build and ruin it there. If it is done well enough, we will find a home for it in the terrain build.
- Conserve bricks. With this much terrain, we need to try and be considerate of the brick count. Do not make your terrain entirely out of 4x bricks and do not apply grass with only 4x4 plates.
- I know I just said it, but for the love of God do not make your grass out of 4x4 plates ;_; Jirue and °ªÐråîth³ just spent an hour fixing grass done by the wonderful Jediman
- Don't troll or anything of the like. You'll be banned. The mood can be light but we still want to make progress, anything that completely prevents that is not wanted.

Plans/Default builds in Progress:ACM CityACM City is currently in the build where it is to stay. It only has 2 ruined buildings. I would like an adventure in the city somewhere
Beta CityBeta City is to be connected to ACM City through the exiting tunnel It has not been ruined or placed in the build.
Ice PalaceIce Palace is planned to be hidden away in the caves at the end of the river. I would like to have an ice-themed cave challenge connected to it.
Two ShipsTwo Ships will be sunk in the big lake at the other end of the river. They have not been placed/ruined yet.
Afghanistan DMAfghan was once going to be way down the highway in a desert area of the build. It has been decided that the build is starting to get quite large and we'd like to expand as little as possible. It's been decided that Afghanistan will not be explorable in the build, but the highway leading to Afghanistan will remain. It will most likely just be a closed down Highway due to Nuclear Radiation or something of the like (It was a massive Deathmatch course, after all)
