Querencia

""

""Querencia is a metaphysical concept in the Spanish language. The term comes from the Spanish verb "querer," which means "to desire." In bullfighting, a bull may stake out his querencia, a certain part of the bull ring where he feels strong and safe.""

Querencia is a town built by the server owner JerryNgo and cerealgrains. The town territory was determined on March 04, 2021. Location was chosen because of the fact it is near to spawn, has beautiful snow storms and was not much explored before by other players.

Old Storage Room
This is the first building in the town. It was used to store most of the item until the new sorting system is completed in May.

Smelting Room
Built by Jerry. This building has three rows of blast furnace, furnace and cooker. Each has around ten blocks. There is also a row of automatic smelting system that is linked to the bamboo farm behind to make it has infinite smelting time.

Bamboo and Sugarcane Farm
Built by cerealgrains and extended by Jerry. This is the town's main source of emerald and the supply for the smelting room.

Ironman Statue
Built by cerealgrains. It is the first pixel art in the town and it is located next to the guest house.

Sky Ruler Statue
Built by cerealgrains. Sky Ruler is a skin of character Taoist from the game "Soul Knight”. So far it is the biggest pixel art build.

Ice Nether Portal
Started by Jerry because there was no nether portal in town after like 1 month of settlement. He soon realized this is too big of a project and decided to building the ice farm to aid with the build. Cerealgrains was later convinced, pressured and begged to help with the building and assisted a big proportion of the build.

Ice Farm
Built by Jerry Ngo to provide ice for the ice nether portal. This works because there are diagonal lines of water that will never be frozen. Those lines will create new source blocks of water after all the ice is broken. This building was strongly protested by cerealgrains because of the size and the uselessness of it. Jerry later realized she was correct and they harvested ice from the nearby cold ocean instead.

Iron Farm
Built by Jerry Ngo. This farm is one of the most important buildings in the town. It provided iron for beacon, emerald trade and hopper of the sorting system. The zombie in the farm was killed once by cerealgrains. All three villagers were also killed once because she put a block near the entrance and a pillager broke in a shoot them all. That raid was not triggered by cerealgrains though so she does not think it was totally her fault.

Guest House
Built by cerealgrains. She built this for Jerry but this was later used as a guest house because of an incident.

Skeleton Farm
Built by Jerry. This building is right above bedrock and has provided all the arrow, bonemeal and experience to the town. The entrance is inspired by the Minecraft fossil.

The Circle House
Built by cerealgrains. This house is oddly minimal and symmetric, probably results from all the stress from Abstract Algebra class taught by professor Darrah. The interior changes every so often - whenever cerealgrains feels like. This is also the only place in town that officially has a loom.

Villager Clustering
Built by both Jerry and cerealgrains. There are many villagers of occupations like fletcher, farmer, armorer, and priest. All the villagers were cured and has their own house.

Fox House
Built by Jerry. He loves those foxes so much that he decided to building an enclosure for them. The house includes the first arctic fox in the server taken from AthenaXI's base. Inside the giant fox statue is a mini house that could be accessed through the right side of the fox.

Semaphore Library
Built by cerealgrains. The build's interior is inspired by the Morse Library and its name. It has Jerry office in the I.T department, Innovation space, six tuxedo cats, and two mending villagers.

Creeper Farm
Built by cerealgrains. One of the first technical farms built by her. Each layer of the farm has different types of trap doors - 4 types of Overworld woods, 2 types of Nether woods, and iron ones. cerealgrains has a fear for the Nether, which takes her forever to finish the two floors with Nether woods. Currently the spawn rates of spider and creeper are the same, might need some renovation to function as expected.

Dock
Built by cerealgrains. This is used mainly for accessing the turtle farm on the other side of the dock.

Ocelot House
Built by cerealgrains. This is a jungle theme enclosure that is used to keep ocelots. There are many kinds of tropical fishes kept in small lakes and several parrots around the build.

Determination Sorting System
This was built by Jerry and cerealgrains. The building takes 60 days in real life and need around 30 stacks of iron blocks, 60 stacks of wood and many other materials for redstone and decorating. It is able to sort most of the survival items by now.
