The [[CrabCraft]] Cabinet is the semi-official governing body of the server. It began during [[Season 4]] and has since evolved through player declarations, drama, democracy, and questionable appointments. Notably, during [[Season V]] it was restructured to elect a Governor and a Judge. The elected governor picks their own cabinet, and has the freedom to create their own cabinet roles.

Cabinet members are responsible for specific areas of server life - from media and messaging to food systems and infrastructure. While their powers may be imaginary, their influence is very real.

Season 6 Community Discussion

2025-11-24T04:53:17Z

Herbane: Fixed a couple typos

On the 23rd of November 2025, we held the official CrabCraft [[Season 6]] Community Discussion event. Allowing members to give feedback on the previous season ([[Season V]]), ahead of the launch of the next. Around 30 players attended, providing insight into possible changes.

== Summary of Event ==

=== Gameplay and Server Mechanics ===
'''Minecart Experiment'''. This is a [https://minecraft.wiki/w/Minecart_Improvements Minecraft experiment] that will be enabled for the launch of Season 6. It allows for the adjustment of minecart physics and speed.
# '''In the Nether''', minecarts will be increases slightly to discourage the use of other transportation methods like Elytra, and make the Nether a viable high speed travel network.
# '''In the Overworld,''' Minecart speeds will remain at their default setting to prevent breaking precisely timed minecart systems, farms and builds.
'''Villager Trade Rebalance.''' This refers to the [https://minecraft.wiki/w/Villager_Trade_Rebalance Minecraft experiment] which changes some mechanics related to the villager trading system. This has been enabled on all past SMPs, however we confirmed this will '''not''' be enabled for Season 6.

=== Locator Bar ===
[[File:Survival Locator Bar.png|thumb|Locator bar in Survival mode, showing orange and blue waypoints.]]
This is a UI feature recently added by Mojang that displays all players locations as waypoints, replacing the XP progress. After a poll held, the majority of players voted to disable this feature. Therefore it will '''not''' be enabled for Season 6.

=== End Fight Date ===
We discussed the optimal time to hold the server-wide fight against the Ender Dragon. In Season 5 it was held approximately 4 weeks after the launch of the Season. Following feedback from the community via a Discord poll, and the success of Season 5 we have decided to stick with a 4 week period.

=== Cabinet / Mayor / Judge ===
'''Pro Cabinet.''' Some players feel a cabinet of elected officials is a good idea for community engagement, but would require moderation to remove inactive members

'''Anti Cabinet.''' Other players argued that elected members often become inactive and accomplish nothing. making the system "pointless".

'''Single Mayor System.''' [[KingChuck]] proposed having a single mayor with an inactivity clause; if the mayor is offline for a week, they forfeit the position to the next candidate.

'''Mayor's Authority.''' The powers and responsibilities of the mayor need to be clearly defined so the role has a clear purpose beyond just a title.

=== Season Length ===
The goal for Season 6 is to last longer than [[Season List|previous seasons]], aiming for approximately '''six months'''. This would allow for the completion of larger, more ambitious community builds and projects.

=== Town / Shopping District & Shop Plots vs Free Build ===
'''Shop Plots.''' The system from last season where players had to purchase plots to build in the shopping district was criticized for being too expensive for new players and somewhat restrictive.

'''Free Build.''' The consensus is leaning towards a free-build shopping district for more creativity.

'''Organization.''' However, some players argued for some form of organization (like defined roads or zones) to prevent the area from becoming a chaotic "mess."

'''Demolition''' '''Rule.''' A proposal was made for a '''two-week demolition rule''' for builds within the main town. If a structure is clearly unfinished and the owner has been inactive, other players could be given permission to remove it to keep the town looking clean.

=== Season Events & Secret Santa ===
There is a strong desire for more regular, community-driven events.

'''Secret Santa.''' A server-wide Secret Santa event was proposed for the Christmas period, where players would be randomly assigned another player to give a gift to.

'''Other Events.''' Players also suggested hosting in-game events for players' birthdays. The idea of having a dedicated "events person" or committee (Pip offered) was well-received.

=== Mounts of Mayhem & Spawn Lag ===
'''Server Version.''' Season 6 will launch on Minecraft version '''1.21.10'''

'''Mounts of Mayhem Update.''' The server will be updated to the new major version as soon as the necessary server software and plugins are updated, which is expected in mid-to-late December.

'''Spawn Lag:''' To reduce lag at spawn, the following is requested from players:

# Use '''barrels''' instead of chests where possible
# Avoid using large numbers of '''item frames'''.
# '''No farms''' of any kind are to be built near the central spawn/shopping area.

=== The Nether Hub ===
There is strong community interest in building a large, organized, and aesthetically pleasing Nether Hub.

This is being positioned as a major '''community project'''.

The plan is to have clearly marked portals, safe pathways, and potentially high-speed '''ice boat highways''' leading in the cardinal and diagonal directions to make travel across the server fast and easy.

=== World Border ===
A '''temporary world border''' will be implemented for the '''first 24 hours''' of the season.

The size will be somewhere around '''5,000-5,000 to 10,000-10,000.'''

The purpose is '''not''' to limit exploration permanently, but to allow the server to pre-render the most commonly travelled chunks during the high-traffic launch period, which will significantly reduce server lag for everyone.

=== Streaming / Recording ===
The system of having a '''"Live" tag''' in-game for players who are streaming or recording will be continued.

This system was met with unanimous approval from the community as a good way to inform players when their voice and actions might be broadcast.

| favouriteitem =Copper

= Basic Information =
Herbane is a player and former Chief of Justice on the CrabCraft server who began playing during Season V on the 28th of July 2025.

=== Unverified ===
When Herbane joined Season V he had been browsing the backlogs of a Minecraft server list filled with curiosity and a craving to be a jokester, as his first words on the server were "I've got crabs, and I've got boils, and I'm Mouthboy. Draco Mouthboy." referencing a Harry Potter full recreation parody off YouTube.

This resulted in the player [[NinjaTrunks]] torturing him. Ninja eventually left, and the curiosity within Herbane caused him to discover that he could break through the blacklist boundaries while unverified and escape into the rest of the server.

He found his way into a taiga and dug out a hole in the ground, setting up shop there. This would later become his main base [[Hernuksia]]. He played the game normally until Ninja found him, and murdered him, breaking his bed to make sure he wouldn't respawn there.

Many more shenanigans continued, until Herbane was finally verified into the server while digging up buried treasure in the area that would become Crab Claw Cove. Later returning to the hole he was murdered in, and revamped it into Herbane's Unverified Hovel.

=== Chief of Justice ===
Herbane was elected on the 10th of August 2025 as the Chief of Justice (Judge). He only won the election mainly due to the influence of players in the town [[Vinylonia]], which he was a part of at the time.

Herbane resigned sometime around the 15th of august, and was succeeded by [[NinjaTrunks]].

= Builds =
A list of all the notable things Herbane has constructed on CrabCraft.

== Season VI ==

== Season V ==

=== Bases ===

* '''[[Hernuksia]]'''

The main base of Herbane located in the northern taiga above spawn. Originally, it was just Herbane's Unverified Hovel, But after some expansion the name was changed to Herbane Land. and after Herbane's dad [[Leenuks]] moved in the name was changed once more. This base is connected through a nether railway to CCC.

Location: 742 85 -840

* '''Crab Claw Cove'''

Crab Claw Cove or CCC for short is a base of Herbane located far north east of spawn that is currently only a secret stash and a deforested area, dug out while he was still an unverified player. This base is connected through a nether railway to [[Hernuksia]].

Location: 4600 -1990

=== Shops ===

* '''The Musical Cactus'''

The Musical Cactus is a shop owned by Herbane located in the southern district of spawn. It was planned to sell Cactus, Music Discs, and pottery related items. This shop was sort of a failure, as Herbane was slow on progress with it and it was never truly finished/stocked. This inspired Herbane to put aside all other projects he may think of for season 6, and instead live in his shop until he has a steady supply of stock for it.

=== Landmarks ===

* '''[[Hernuksia]] - CCC Railway'''

This railway was built to connect Hernuksia and Crab Claw Cove, as they are quite far away from each other. The railway has been through a few changes, originally had a nice design but later due to frequent mob spawning on the tracks he redesigned it completely incased in cobble stone with only a 1 x 2 block space for the minecarts.

* '''Herbane's Creeper Farm'''

Built in the ocean south of the CCC area at 4751 -1487, this was constructed with the intention of crafting tnt to break bedrock blocks at the portal to his base in the nether for a stairway. Though, this soon became obsolete for 2 reasons: #1 He discovered a mod that allowed him to instantly break bedrock without the need for tnt at all. (Don't worry the owner of the server [[MaxUK|Max]] was seen using this cheat in the past so it's allllll good 👍) #2 it turns out the farm was very good at spawning bats as it was made entirely out of diorite, which is one of the only blocks that spawn bats. This made less space in the mob count for creepers and caused the farm to be insufficient.

= Basic Information =
Vinylonia is a town far north of spawn built around a lake. Created by [[Vinyl5five]], Tinbob, and Oli. It started out as a small flattened area with two houses, but after Vinyl started to invite people it quickly grew in population. [[Herbane]] was one of the first to arrive and build a house.

Vinylonia was a sizeable town for quite awhile, and peace was mostly kept, aside from a few discrepancies with the player Liquid.

But after [[Vinyl5five|Vinyl]] and Oli lost their marbles and spouted political and religious insensitivity and immaturity people began to leave the town, and right before all the owners were banned Tinbob decided to hand over ownership to Liquid.

But due to most player's hatred for Vinyl they wanted to completely destroy the town, but Liquid felt he was entitled to it, so a war began.

Liquid wasn't a very great guy and was also mostly hated by the server and was eventually banned, allowing players to go through with completely destroying the land.

As of 31/08/2025 Vinylonia has been exploded and no longer exists.[[File:Vinylonia-Exploded.png|border|left|thumb|Vinylonia Explosion Aftermath]]

Vinyl5five

Herbane: Updated with new information

== About Vinyl5five ==
Vinyl5five was the leader and creator of [[Vinylonia]], and joined the 2nd of August 2025, and is currently banned.

According to Vinyl himself, he was known for his loyalty and care for players who might not have their own friends on the server, allowing them to meet others who are in the same boat and looking for a community. Only asking for respect and care for people who want to join [[Vinylonia]] which has so far worked and led to him to create the greatest community (now a crater) in the CrabCraft SMP.

In reality he is known for his insensitive humour and acts of bigotry in multiple situations spread out across chat and in builds, mainly when he and 99xs built blasphemous imitations of religious architecture and placing within them propaganda posters of sensitive religious and political topics. Some of his acts include: Transphobia, Homophobia, Sexism, and probably a bunch of other stuff.

== The Story ==

=== (According to Vinyl himself) ===
Vinyl5five started by wanting to fill an emptiness, CrabCraft SMP was how he did it: Create a small base with friends and enjoy his time on the server. This soon changed, on the 5th of August, Vinyl5five started to invite solo players to join his small village of [[Vinylonia]], leading to quick mass expansion in the surrounding area.

[[Vinylonia]] was then made into the biggest village on the server, thanks to a strong leadership with [[99xs]] and [[Tinbob655]] (who were already friends with [[Vinyl5five]] before joining the server). The trio reached out to many solo players to try to create a community and it worked superbly, with most accepting the offer of being able to build their own bases on the forever expanding [[Vinylonia]] land.

Vinyl5five decided to appoint [[Herbane]] as the Sheriff of [[Vinylonia]], due to his smart and decisive decision making and loyalty to the [[Vinylonia]] village '''(Herbane lost loyalty after Vinyl and 99xs did what they did)'''. [[Herbane]] ran for Judge on the CrabCraft server with the full backing of [[Vinylonia]] residents and people all over the CrabCraft SMP, getting 10+ upvotes on his released manifesto.

=== Current Nemeses ===
* '''[[ArcanaMC]]'''

Herbane declared [[ArcanaMC|Arcana]] as a nemesis after he abused him with his hammers due to Herbane being creepy at spawn, watching from a far, and eventually sealing it after [[ArcanaMC|Arcana]] abused him further at the town [[Vinylonia]]. Other encounters have happened at spawn and the Auction House during election day, where Herbane was just a smidge disruptive due to the ego from becoming Judge, and may have knocked [[ArcanaMC|Arcana]] off of the landing just a couple of times causing [[ArcanaMC|Arcana]] to chase after him.

=== Former Nemeses ===

* '''[[NinjaTrunks]]'''

Herbane formerly declared Ninja as a nemeses due to the way they treated him while he was still unverified, but future encounters were mostly positive.

=== Half Nemeses ===

Izzy isn't really considered by Herbane as a nemesis, but their affiliation with [[ArcanaMC|Arcana]] deserves them a spot on the list. Half of the time they are allies, as they are both a part of [[Vinylonia]]. Other times, when she is with [[ArcanaMC|Arcana]], she acts as a nemesis.

= History =
The history of Herbane's existence on CrabCraft.

== Season V ==

=== Beginnings ===
Herbane first joined CrabCraft while bored and looking for a server to fool around on, he headed to the end of the list of one of many Minecraft Server websites where he found it. Upon joining, the name of the server reminded him of a quote from a Harry Potter parody by DoggieHouse on YouTube, where Draco says to Harry "I've got crabs, and I've got boils. And I'm Mouthboy, Draco Mouthboy." which he promptly said aloud in the chat. This was much to the other player's confusion. The first players to greet Herbane were WaterTie, PurelyAkemi, and [[NinjaTrunks]].

[[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]], due to Herbane's unverified-ness and craziness, decided to slaughter Herbane. This thirst for blood would not end, and due to a server plugin at the time that allowed players to drop their heads upon death, [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]]'s inventory soon began to fill up with Herbane's heads from the amount of times [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] had killed him. This prompted Herbane to make a joke regarding giving him heads that only fueled [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]]'s rage further. PurelyAkemi, who was watching the whole thing through chat on the sidelines decided that was enough Minecraft for the day and left.

The slaughter would go on for awhile until [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] too decided that was enough Minecraft and left. Herbane now at peace went to explore the spawn area. Eventually, he decided to see if he could go through the Nether Portal, which he could. Then he wondered if he could enter another Nether Portal leading outside the blacklist range to escape, and he could. Thus beginning the era of Unverified on the Run.

==== Unverified on the Run ====
After escaping, Herbane proclaimed in chat "holy cow I'm free" and "(you heard nothing)" and decided to see if he could survive and build up a base while being an unverified player. He dug into a hole and began his first base at 742 85 -840, [[Herbane Land|Herbane's Unverified Hovel]]. As he began his base, [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] asked in chat who exactly whitelisted him, to which Herbane answered "I did, using super cool hax". He told them that it wasn't a glitch or bug or anything that was overlooked when it was put there, and to not pay attention to the first achievement he acquired, and to not use that to fix your glitch. Ninja didn't seem to think much of it and simply replied with "Uh huh". Around this time is when Herbane decided to open up an application form on the Discord, where he entered the questions very unseriously. Answers with yes would always be ended with "(Yugoslavia)", and he entered his favourite wood type as Woody Harrelson. Back to his base, he would gather resources and begin a tunnel down to the bottom of the world, where he eventually stumbled upon the deep dark. He made plans to take off all of his stuff to attempt suicide missions to the "mush zone" as he called it in chat to break all the shriekers so he could walk in later and grab all the loot no sweat. He returned up the tunnel to his home where he began to prepare, and that's when [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] found him.

[[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] immediately attacked Herbane and knocked him back with his sword, proceeding to find his bed and destroy it so that he would respawn in the blacklist zone. [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] slaughtered Herbane once more, losing everything in his inventory and temporarily losing his first home. [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] demanded to know how he escaped spawn, but Herbane wouldn't tell him directly. Herbane said in chat that due to his rocky start on the server he planned on coming back in the future on a different account so he could be a "good boy" as he really wanted to play the server. Ninja returned to spawn and brought ChronicWhiffer with them. Chronic handed Herbane a Totem of Undying which [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] proceeded to destroy by killing him. Herbane wondered why he had wasted the totem since it was his friend's, [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]]'s answer was "because you had it". Ninja once again demanded to know how Herbane had left spawn and this time threatened to torture him if he didn't tell them, but since Herbane had lost everything he had nothing else to do but be tortured, thus beginning another round of slaughter. Chronic told Herbane to fight for his rights, and Herbane told [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] to shove his sword deeper in him. Ninja once again asked how he escaped, Herbane reminded him of the hint from earlier, and Ninja finally figured it out.

Once again Ninja eventually stopped the slaughter, giving Herbane another chance to explore. He re-entered the Nether Portal, picking mushrooms up off the Nether Roof as he went exploring. Eventually he found an Iron Golem farm, which he threw the mushrooms into thinking whoever owns it is gonna be so confused. He went through the portals in the farm and, out of sheer luck, ended up next to Chronic's base. Herbane walked over to Chronic's base, walking past Chronic themself and heading off into the ocean like nothing was happening. Chronic noticed Herbane and began to follow him, Herbane feared the worst. But Chronic placed down a Shulker Box and took from it a pair of Elytra Wings, which he gave to Herbane. This gave him an achievement which showed up in chat, prompting [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] to accuse Herbane of stealing it. This offended him greatly, he spouted in chat "I DONT GRIEF! I DONT DO THAT! THAT IS A LIE!" and stated that he is honorable (except in the chat). At this point Ninja had found Herbane again, [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] and Chronic began to chase Herbane through the skies. The chase lasted about 5 minutes before [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] caught up and burnt him to a crisp.

Herbane told [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] he had anger issues, and that he needed anger therapy. He said he had a thirst for blood. [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] then told Herbane "U literally stole his elytra, wtf." but Herbane knew this was not true and told him they gave it to them, that they were a kind soul, and that Ninja needed to read into their book a bit. [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] then told Chronic to enter a group chat, to which Chronic said that he was going to yell at him. Herbane said Chronic didn't deserve berating as they were a kind soul, and that maybe he wouldn't come back in the future on another account to play properly, as this seemed toxic. Around this time one of the moderators SirIncognito/Dex joined, and offered Herbane some iron leggings in a chest, to which Herbane said he couldn't take as he was unverified, and asked them "why must you tease?" Dex explained that to be verified he needed to join the Discord server, but Herbane told him that he tried. (At the time, Ninja was an application reviewer, so you can tell where that would of went.) Herbane was rejected, he told Dex that he was being a fool. That he had quoted a Harry Potter parody, and that he had made a few "shmexual" jokes. Chronic randomly announced he was uncircumcised. Herbane also noted that he said Woody Harrelson was his favourite wood type, to which [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] said "that doesn't even make any sense dumbass LOL". Dex was then blown up by a creeper, and told Herbane that the other moderator Max would get back to him on that application.

Later, Herbane began exploring the Nether Roof again. He stumbled upon the base of one SauronLord, who was torturing countless, seemingly innocent armadillos. It was at this point Herbane thought of an idea, if he slept in other player's beds, in other player's bases, then [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] would have no right to destroy them and send him back to spawn, and finding them in the first place would be like finding a needle in a haystack. Herbane slept in SauronLord's bed, and then decided that was enough Minecraft for the day and left.

==== Unverified on the Run: Part 2 ====
Herbane rejoined the server on the 2nd of August, having not have played in about 5 days. Herbane asked in chat if the nether had been fixed yet, and [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] said "Oh Its you" and asked "didnt u get banned". Herbane, confused replied that he did not. Or that maybe he did and that it ran out. This confused [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] as well, he said "how the hell did it run out" and "its permenant", Herbane said "why would i be banned anyway" and "i didnt exploit anything to a harmful degree". Ninja then accused him of griefing, saying "U literally stole someones stuff". Herbane, highly offended at these accusations told him that he only escaped spawn, made his base and then [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] found and killed him. He also once more stated that Chronic gave him that elytra. [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]], going even further, accused him of not making his own base at all. Herbane told him he did, and to go find it and check block records if he didn't believe him. He said [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] was being a meany pants, and that he even told [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] about the problem with the Nether Portal. At this point [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] stopped with the accusations.

Herbane left SauronLord's base to go exploring again, and returned to the Iron Golem farm that brought him to Chronic's base, but he found that it was destroyed. He continued exploring until he found the base of Luminous. Luminous, similar to SauronLord was torturing phantoms. He gifted Luminous some raw chicken he had found, and then Luminous pulled out his sword. He said "So.... You wanna run?" and Herbane asked why, pointing out that he gave him chicken as a sign of peace. This must of sent them into an existential crisis as they gave Herbane 3 golden carrots and proceeded to leave shortly after. Herbane explored the area, and crossed over a lake to a mob farm. Here, [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] found him.

[[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] greeted Herbane, and he greeted [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] back. They asked each other how they were doing and Herbane told him that he was thinking about his anger issues. [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] asked if he wanted to see them again, and that they could test to see his "anger issues". Chronic said [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] was typing really aggressive and to be careful, and Herbane backed away whimpering, throwing the carrots at [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] as a sign of peace. He said that [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] seemed proud of his anger issues. He then started to climb a tower of scaffolding next to the mob farm as [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] chased him up and down it. Eventually a hoard of zombies started to form at the bottom, and in not wanting to give [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] the satisfaction of killing him he attempted suicide by zombie, and succeeded. Herbane told [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] that the zombie got to him first, and that it won the anger contest. He then asked [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] "why do you hate me so?" and [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] replied "I hate every griefer" Herbane once again told him that he was no griefer, and that he was honorable except for in chat. [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] said "But but you are" and "I saw u" and once more accused him of stealing people's items. Herbane told him that Luminous gave him those carrots in exchange for chicken. He then reminded [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] that if he is unsuccessful in gaining his trust then he will just come back with a new account in the future and he will never know. [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] told him to not be so sure. Herbane continued and said that years of playing together would go by and then randomly while chatting the topic would come up and he would tell him he was Herbane, and that [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] would think of how mean he was. Obsidian randomly states that they are going to kill themselves.

Herbane respawned in SauronLord's base, leaving and beginning to run across the nether roof. He says in chat that Dex told Max to re-review his application but that had never happened and it was closed. He said he didn't know what to do. AllMight replies telling him to just leave, and [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] says he has an idea on what he could do, and asks where he is. Herbane replied "308 negra arroyo lane albuquerque new mexico" AllMight said he'd meet him there, and Herbane told him to bring pizza. AllMight told Herbane to "stfu" and Herbane asked "why do you hate me so?" AllMight responded saying the same reason Ninja does, and Herbane told him "ninja spreads slander and you believe" then AllMight randomly asks "I say slurs do you ?" and Herbane wondered what that had to do with anything, and said that he doesn't say slurs that he Isn't allowed to say. Later on though he realized that maybe AllMight had never watched Breaking Bad, and that he thought Herbane meant Negra as the N-Word instead of a street name. Around this time Dex joins the server, and Herbane re-caps on what's been going on, but it takes a while for them to answer.

As Herbane is running off without direction on the Nether Roof, [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] finds him. The two greet each other again and Luminous joins the server. Herbane asks Luminous to prove to [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] that they gave him the carrots while [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] chases him slowly while he backs away, but [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] says they don't care about that. They then tell Herbane that they can do this the easy way, or the hard way. Herbane replied middle, and Ninja tells him to stop, or they'll kill him. But Herbane knows they'll do it anyway. [[NinjaTrunks|Ninja]] then went into further detail, "easy way is u stay trapped at spawn in an obby box, or I kill u, u spawn at spawn." about now Dex gets back to Herbane and tells him that he needs to leave and rejoin the Discord server to re-open an application, so Herbane left to go do that, this time seriously.

Later, Herbane rejoins after submitting the form to find himself trapped within a cage made of obsidian with no tools to break out. He asks Luminous to help free him but they were busy at the moment, so Herbane decided to punch his way out. Once free, he headed towards 00 on the coordinates bar to try and find a portal to the overworld as he had walked himself nearly 1000 blocks away from spawn. When he finally made it to the overworld, he found himself at the base of an unknown player at 2694 75 574, where he slept in their bed and killed himself to reset his hunger. He headed out to gather resources and came across a mountain that looked like the farlands at 3148 88 776, and stayed there for a couple nights gathering resources. Continuing to explore, he came across a ruined portal at 3574 63 676, and saw off in the distance a peculiar ruin poking out of the water at 3544 62 424. He headed there and decided to craft a boat to explore the ocean, looting multiple shipwrecks and underwater ruined portals along the way. He also discovered multiple ocean monuments littered throughout the cold ocean icebergs, interestingly finding two right next to each other at 4175 62 -961 and 4176 62 -1200, and even more interestingly finding two half submerged azalea trees also right next to each other at 4497 67 -1428 and 4639 68 -1423.

Eventually, through a treasure map he retrieved he found a cove at 4600 -1990 that would eventually become one of Herbane's bases, Crab Claw Cove. Here he stashed away all the treasure he had collected from adventuring, and started to dig for the one that brought him there. Though the treasure was submerged in water, he eventually found it after an hour of breaking a couple blocks and then swimming back up for air a couple hundred times. And near the end of his dig, he was finally accepted as an official member of CrabCraft. And thus marks the end of the Unverified on the Run era.

=== Current Membership ===

* '''6th of August 2025'''

Herbane renovated his [[Herbane Land|Unverified Hovel]] from a hole in the ground into a building. Herbane also joined the town [[Vinylonia]] and constructed another base there, albeit leaving out the windows. Herbane entered a petty fight between himself and [[ArcanaMC]], with himself naked and [[ArcanaMC|Arcana]] covered in OP gear. Later, Herbane started another petty fight with [[ArcanaMC|Arcana]] at spawn, this time with Jurarules and [[ChewedApples]]. Herbane got his hands on a forbidden piece of artwork by Apples for half a millisecond before he was killed, but that was enough to need therapy.

* '''7th of August 2025'''

Herbane constructed a path from his Manor in [[Vinylonia]] to his Hovel in the taiga nearby. He also ran for Chief of Justice, managing to gain 12 upvotes on his manifesto from the server (not at all swayed by friends in [[Vinylonia]])

* '''10th of August 2025'''

On the 10th of August Herbane started construction on a Nether railway connecting [[Herbane Land]] to CCC, but due to the way it was built nether mobs kept spawning on it, getting in the way and stopping his minecarts or just killing him altogether. For this he hired Rick (h3fw) to deconstruct the edges of the railway, paying him 20 diamonds for the job. Herbane did not want to do it himself as he had already dug up the cobble used on the rail, and wasn't looking forward to having to break it all over again to redo the railway.

Herbane was also elected Chief Justice this day, with 34.1% of the votes (not at all swayed by friends in [[Vinylonia]]) and after the election he took part in the Auction (which was pure chaos) and ended up bidding 10 diamonds on a baby Zoglin, which he named Zoggy. Herbane constructed a pen for Zoggy in [[Herbane Land]].

Later, Herbane was gifted another pet, given by [[Vinyl5five]], a yellow Axolotl Herbane named Benson.
