Copper Village is a town founded by Breakstuffz. The town is located north-west of Novylen's Fourteenth Spawn. Most houses were built by Breakstuffz, with various players claiming houses of their own and decorating the interiors. Other nearby locations include Sunset Isles, a town founded by ClassyCreeper27.
History
On August 7th, 2022, Breakstuffz would discover a copper statue built by rilelyscastle in the middle of a lake. He would build a house in front of the statue to act as a viewing platform. The viewing station would then promptly be moved to a new location closer to the shoreline as it was too in the way of the statue. This is where it would sit dormant for the next few months until Breakstuffz returned to Novylen in February 2023.
Upon returning, Breakstuffz would decide to expand the island. The meager shop that he owned was torn down, and new condos were built to the left of the house. Then, a circular farm was built to the right of the house. To the south, a lighthouse (Known now as Copper Lighthouse) was built a few days later. The final addition to the island was the making of a new shop area, which sold mediocre items.
In March 2023, Breakstuffz decided to extend his builds outside of the island and into the shoreline. He redid four noob shacks near his island, then connected them together with a road. On Good Friday that year, a Church was built. Even though it was very much in its infancy, Copper Village was born.
At the start of April 2023, Breakstuffz built a 118-block long suspension bridge (Known now as Copper Bridge) connecting the two sides of the lake together, which took three days to build. Afterwards, he redid a noob shack and a larger house on the other side, later converting it into a clock building. On the other side of the lake, the stony shores that used to be there were replaced with moss to give a more lively feel to the village. A windmill was built on the edge of the peninsula, with a wheat farm below it.
Next, Breakstuffz would build nine new homes from the ground up to further expand the village (Fun Fact: when the houses were first built, claimers originally were going to have to pay a one-time price of 3-7p to live in a house, though this was scrapped before the project was fully complete). On the western end of the peninsula, a port was built for ship docking.
On the other side of the shore, five new houses were built. A coal mine was then built, which was separated from the houses by a forest.
The next big project would come in early June 2023 when the Town Hall (Originally called Copper Castle) was built. It currently houses the assistant mayor and the village council. Across from the windmill, a park would be made with Breakstuffz's head on a hill. In between the Town Hall and park, a commercial zone would be made with a Grocery Store, Cinema, Diner, Saloon, Clothing Store, and Library, which was completed in early July. Around this time was when the Copper Canal was built as well.
In August, the next major expansion to the village would be planned on the peninsula's south side, which included bigger homes. The planned fence line would engulf all of the Kingdom of Prussia, as well as a couple noob shacks. A road was built, along with two homes, however construction would stop due to a fatal mistake made by Breakstuffz. In the Novylen rules, griefing is of course banned, however this rule not only includes breaking homes, but remodeling them. Breakstuffz would be banned for the weekend after Doozie found out about what he did, and Copper Village would sit in dust for the next few months until December of that year.
Upon returning, a compromised border was made with Doozie's approval. In it, the fence line would steer away from the noob shack in the center and stick to the coastline. Breakstuffz would finish the homes later that month, along with the Canal Port Zone. Finally, the island where everything began was redone to include grass instead of cobblestone, making it look like an actual island and not just a platform. With this done, Copper Village was "finished," and another island (Tradition Island) was built to house the opening ceremony on January 3rd, 2024.
