Slaughterhouse 5

The contents of Slaughterhouse 5, revealed, during a momentary chunk error.

Slaughterhouse 5 (S5) became the primary community mob grinder in May 2011 after monsters were re-enabled on the Aporkalypse server. A mob grinder is essentially a dark tank which causes numerous monsters to spawn, where they eventually fall into a trap without harm to bystanders, and a current of water washes the monsters' belongings to a singular collection point.

History

One of the architects, mistersc, recalled in a January 2011 forum post:

"Graeleight / Bonzai and I had both seen the video for the Mob Tower and finally a few days before hostile mobs were due to appear on the server he said, "We really need to make one of these" to which I responded, "Well, I have a 21x21 pit already dug down to about 30, so ..." and from there history was made. Graeleight did all of the difficult stuff, the killing floor and etc. I mainly did the walls and the water work, and the skeleton / scaffolding for the levels. The project was mainly Graeleight's but I love it so much I can't not include it."

Location

Slaughterhouse 5 is located northeast of Spawn and is best accessed by taking the Spawn Tram north to the Carpal Tunnel, then taking the Carpal Tunnel line a few hundred meters to the east.
