7th Survival

7th Survival, also known as Better Minecraft Survival is a survival server started on October 2nd 2021, and is currently ongoing. It was founded by the Sitaku Administration and is the fourth-most active survival. 7th Survival was formed following the decision to close its predecessor, 6th Survival, as the player count had dropped low and interest in a new survival was high, especially as vanilla survivals were meant to be short. In accordance with the Agreement for Survival Server Alternation, this survival would be modded. 7th Survival includes but does not enforce the Sitaku Pack, from versions 2.5 onwards. However, due to anti-aliasing and texture issues with the texture pack, it underwent a revampment and was disabled. CustomModelData is used and all members can suggest their own textures to be added. The survival also continues to feature datapacks, namely Mini Blocks Trades, Armour Stand Customization, Villager Death Messages, and Unlock all Recipes.

Illager Fortress Raid
On the first day, MCstarVK located an illager fortress, spanning around 100x100, and contacted members via in-game chat to come with him. However, many people had little-to-no gear, resulting in mass deaths on the first day. Through skybridging and some sacrifices, as well as breaking trees for food, the players managed to loot half the place before escaping southwards and finding a village.

Spawn Village
The new spawn was set to this village, as the old spawn was deemed poor. In this village, people set up temporary bases in villager houses, and began mining before expediting out. An underwater cave was found with a spider spawner and Ferrous Wroughtnaut, and a large lava-floored cavern with pillars and mineshafts.

Expedition North
Kazreti and Squiddum set out to explore the coast surrounding the spawn island, starting from following the eastern coast northwards. HuntTheWumpus0 and MCstarVK would join them later on. After coming across numerous sites, such as a seaside Mooshroom Warrior settlement, a pillager camp with a Blue Skies merchant, and more, the team settled down in a cove northwest of the island, in what is now Qume. Rinkesh would later join them around 23:00 for a Farmer's Delight Feast.

October
This month generally saw a large amount of exploration. Bruhmst explored the Twilight Forest for long periods of time, whereas later on Dr_Eksplosive, Rinkesh, and MinerMark travelling northwards to the second continent.

Large construction began in Qume. The Salamahri docks began construction and the base was completed around October 11th, and the Raiska Industrial Zone was founded on October 12th with Kazreti's private concrete factory being the first structure. The Salamahri farms were first built on October 14th, and it would continue to expand, adding additional animals and crops over time, along with a decorated staircase, improved mine entrance, and upper dock path created the next day, to make way for the town hall (originally a voting booth) and the court.

The Raiska Industrial Zone grew rapidly over a week. A dried kelp farm, a vegetable noodle farm, and a vanilla iron farm was added to the zone, with the egg sandwich farm still remaining in Salamahri.

Dr_Eksplosive-Kazreti Fight
During this event, MCstarVK convinced Dr.Eksplosive to 'zap' Kasreti using an Axe of a Thousand Metals' shockwave attack, whilst Kasreti was building the base of his house. When Kasreti retaliated, a 30 minute conflict ensued with multiple deaths, including blowing up the back of Kasreti's house, but a peaceful resolution between the two was reached.

November
November saw the creation of stables and a resurgence in horse usage amongst the community. In addition, the Salamahri farms had gone through large change. Large paths were constructed, connecting Raiska on one end, to Salamahri, to Squiddum's Base, and Dat_Templar's Base on the other end, spanning around 1200 blocks.

Soulja Boyo Incident and The Diary
On November 6th 2021 10:00pm to November 7th 2021 00:30am, multiple incidents ensued,MCstarVK constantly stole Soulja Boyo, making Kasreti have to chase him. At one point Kasreti said "Laws of Qume: No raping horses. End.", which ensued MCstarVK raping Soulja Boyo. After that, Kasreti would build a court (and re-enact the Trial of Smithson screenshot), but halfway through, he was alerted that MCstarVK had given his horse to bruhmst. Due to this, Kasreti chased bruhmst around -- although to no avail -- and Kasreti took revenge by messing up all of MCstarVK's chests, and MCstarVK swiftly killed him. Kazreti repeated this a couple times before taking Nether Core Shards and throwing them off the "Lookout Vines" in a giveaway fashion, although Rinkesh interfered and killed Kazreti. Kazreti then blew up MCstarVK's entrance, first time failing, before Squiddum stepped in and killed Kazreti once again. After that, Kazreti repaired the entrance -- but decided to pester MCstarVK by simply walking back and forth in his house by breaking walls, repairing them, and walking to the other side. He also smelted two pieces of sandstone.

Kazreti went ahead and finished some of the courtroom, adding on a lectern with the book detailing MCstarVK's crime of rape, and a short 'diary'. The book was placed in a lectern on the podium for anyone to read before the trial occured. The second page read:"im going to accuse vaayu of stealing my horse and being a dickhead (because he is) but i did kill him (haha) but he fucking deserved it because he killed me over and over again anyway i am going to take my horse right im going to blame devaj bad fortune japan"Due to time constraints, he had to leave the server. However, Rinkesh took upon the role of writing the diary without Kasreti's permission, and proceeded to write obscene and lewd content, whilst claiming to be 'on behalf of Kazreti'. The reason of writing this and where Rinkesh received these skills is questioned. For instance, page 9 reads:"I immediately jumped on him and took of my clothes and started twerking on his face and then he took off my underware and started licking my pussy"Kazreti denounced the authenticity of the diary, claiming that the diary should be renamed to protect the public image of him. While to date, Rinkesh has not given the diary to anyone, refusing to share more contents.

Exam Period
The exam period for both main countries led to a massive drop in player counts throughout the later half of November, although Dumboilted and circletheorm were sometimes seen on, until their exam period started as well, leading to silence in the server.

Strange Occurrences on December 14th
A series of strange events occurred on December 14th. It first involved DSMP satire roleplay, involving "TommyInnit" (Kazreti) and "Tubbo" (MCstarVK). This involved constant repeating of a stereotypical British accent, claiming his hatred of women, his love for the Queen, and all other ridiculous things. This was briefly cut with an unboxing by Squiddum, before being continued with Nihakesh-Drem/Techno-Tubbington shenanigans, with MinerMark disturbingly spectating. This was followed by Squid Game, where a test round was held in MCstarVK's residences as Kazreti and Squiddum lulled him into playing "kokuna-chingchong-iya-samida"-light. They then walked forward and kidnapped MinerMark for three games: the tree, the glass, and tug of war. Captain was likewise kidnapped into such activities, with a large vein-miner pit being created by MCstarVK, luring Captain6375 into the trap. The Squid Game contniued with Captain fighting back, killing Kazreti in the process in the mines, although the final activities were cut short by Kazreti joining the lord in heaven.

Burning of Captain6375's House
On 17th December 2021, approximately 8pm Singapore Time, Dr.Eksplosive set Captain6375's house on fire after joking encouragement from MCstarVK. They then put out the fire, and left to MinerMark's shop to purchase his newest enchanted books. However, the fire rekindled and burnt the back of Captain6375's house. The fire was spotted by Kazreti heading towards the XP Farm from MinerMark's shop. As a result, repairs were done to Captain6375's house, although Dr_Eksplosive used the wrong material -- stone. Dr.Eksplosive, MCstarVK and Kazreti frantically moved around the house to put out rekindled fires. As punishment, Kazreti decreed that Dr.Eksplosive had to perform a water bucket jump from the Tippity-Top. He failed, but still didn't die due to his featherite armor. However, he immediately noticed a massive fire on the first floor of Captain6375's house. MCstarVK then jokingly suggested that they flood the house to prevent any further fires, and Dr_Eksplosive took those comments seriously, flooding the second floor of the structure.

On 18th December 2021 at 14:00, Captain officially reported Dr_Eksplosive to the Sitaku Juridical Authority on the basis of vandalism, requesting either a swift execution or an abstinence from the End Fight, which was due to take place in 4 hours, saying "he still vandalised mu hoyse. hes getting execution or no end fight i dont fucking care". Charges were eventually dropped through settling between the two players.

Parliament
Main Article: Parliament Meeting of Nami 03

A parliament meeting was held on December 18th 03, at 21:10, in the Sitaku General Assmebly Hall in Dishehar, Qume. Players Kazreti, Squiddum, MCstarVK, Captain6375, MinerMark, Dr_Eksplosive, and kingvyom123, bruhmst, and HuntTheWumpus0 attended. The parliament meeting was divided into multiple parts, beginning with Survival suggestions, continuing with Side Servers, then Creative and Worldbuilding, and ending with Miscellaneous, Development, and Community.

The parliament introduced many tech and magic mods, along with new gear mechanics, dimensions, and QOL mods. Multiple people were elected for higher positions, list being:

A full list of the changes can be seen in the Main Article.

Economy
There is an established economy on the server, based on the Redackistani model from 4th Survival, using Siyyats and a simpler method for interest. This was decided following the Nami Parliament, with the items Chunkrodite, Pearls (Blue Skies), and Zinc Plates (Create Deco) suggested, with the latter being chosen. However, due to the Winter Break Inactivity period, most trades are done through diamonds as Siyyats continue to be implemented over time. Currently, enchantments, netherrite, and end-game modded equipment are in high demand.

Politics
So far, there have been no official declarations of kingdoms, inter-nation politics or elections. Qume is close to an official kingdom, although undeclared nor currently in action. The departments as decided by the Nami 03 Parliament have effective control over most server-wide operations.

Parliament
The first parliament meeting in 7S has been declared for 30th Nami 03 (December 18th 2021), involving the topics of survival mods, economy, creative, server administration, and side server-concerns.
