Argoth is a major city on PvE revision 8. Located next to the north-east nether portal for easy access, Argoth is on the corner of four biomes: the vast snowy wastelands to the north, a deciduous forest to the east, a jungle to the southeast, and the map's central ocean to the south.

Argoth has always been a welcoming, inclusive community. Building standards aren't super-strict; just don't make ugly cobblestone/wood huts. New residents are given a full stack of stone brick, plus access to the community chests and farms for other useful building materials. Several revisions ago this ethos — plus the fact that Argoth's colors are red-white-red — earned the city the "communist" label, which stuck.

If you'd like to join the city of benevolent communists, contact a mayor in-game or post on the subreddit, /r/newargoth.

Districts and neighbors

Some of these are districts of Argoth itself, others are independent regions. Regardless, all are linked by road and rail.

Central Argoth is the heart of the city, located in a flat valley
To the north, the massive Nether Courtyard, designed by castelnau
Further north, the Spleef Arena, designed by Sapphric
Even further north, the independent town of North-Argoth
To the north-east, Keozen's giant melon complex
Further north-east, CENSORED, designed by afacini
To the west, an unnamed NPC village, depopulated due to server derp
To the south, the Canal District, an homage to last rev's Argoth Hold
Further south, Argoth State University
Even further south, Arrrgoth (nautical nonsense)

Tucked behind the inter-regional rail station in the Nether Courtyard complex is a cozy bar. Don't mess with the bartender, he'll pound your head.
