The Citadel is a publicly available server build on the BadWolfMC Alpha server, accessed by using /warp citadel or the shortcut /citadel.
History
The Citadel made its debut on June 18, 2017 as part of the celebration of the release of Minecraft 1.12: "A World of Color". It took approximately four months to complete and is one of the few server builds constructed live on the map instead of in the build world. It was BadWolfMC's first city.
The Citadel was again updated on October 1, 2024 as part of BadWolfMC's 8th Anniversary Celebration to include a quest line that pulled together several of the city's existing features with updated mechanics and an added prize.
Citadel Lore
On the continent of Wild Endeavour, in the mountains of Solace and Solitude, a city of Lords and Ladies falls. No more guardians stand to fight against the evils that threaten it from all sides. But a call has been sent out into the stars, across time and space -- will you answer?!
Quests
Step inside the Citadel Spire and talk to The First Doctor to embark on a special questline to unlock the Sonic Shimmer, a soul-bound tool designed for disguising yourself, trolling your friends, and hiding from enemies.
Daleks!
Daleks are attacking The Citadel! Grab your Sonic Screwdriver and help fight them off!
Grotto Challenges
Four ancient grottoes survived the Gallifreyan Civil Wars that destroyed the original capitol. Discover their ruins and complete their challenges for sweet prizes! Challenges include mini-mazes, musical puzzles, and a wild game of chest roulette.
The Citadel Dropper
Take over a Dalek ship, set it to self destruct, then leap to safety avoiding the obstacles to land safely in the water below. Non-quest access to the dropper (for repeated fun!) can be found in the Dalek ship that has penetrated the sphere.
The Cloister Maze
The Cloister Maze is the largest and most difficult maze on the BadWolfMC Network, with nine checkpoints, five custom mobs including Weeping Angel Wraiths that teleport you back in time (to the maze start), Cybermats, ghoulish Cloister Wraiths that guard each checkpoint, and the maze boss, Omega, and his fiery minions.
Maze Logistics
The Cloister Maze's 9 checkpoints use a player's spawn point and compass to help them navigate the maze. Clicking on each NPC inside each checkpoint will set your spawn to that checkpoint and will update your compass to point to the next checkpoint. As long as you do not reset your spawn point by sleeping in a bed or completing other quests or vaults that manipulate your spawn points, the maze can effectively be paused and resumed even across server restarts. To resume the maze, simply ... meet your end. If at any point your compass location is reset, just click on the nearest checkpoint NPC to set it back.
Cloister Maze Lore
Deep in the bowels of The Citadel, the Cloisters are the last defense of Time Lord knowledge against those who wish to corrupt it -- and they have been breached! An ancient and powerful entity has wormed its way into the Matrix of Time and threatens to destroy the beating heart of Time Lord civilization -- The Eye of Harmony itself! As a last resort, the Matrix has summoned the past lives of the only other individual who successfully navigated the Cloisters -- an old student of the Time Lord Academy -- to guide you through the Cloister Maze and defeat this menace!
Other Features
The Foundry
The Foundry is an ancient stronghold and the TARDIS of Rassilon: engineer, architect, and co-founder of modern Gallifreyan society, hailed as a hero but seen by some as a corrupt megalomaniac. This dark, gothic tower stands on the southwestern rim of The Citadel and houses The Foundry Parkour and Foundry PVP games.
The Farmer's Market
Gallifreyan's come from far and near to see what they can buy and sell at the famous Citadel Farmers' Market!
Mini Build Contest
When the Citadel first opened it also featured a Mini Build Contest in Citadel Heights, the capitol's premier apartment living complex! The original builds are still on display!
Bank of Gallifrey
A branch of the Bank of Gallifrey can also be found among the many buildings in the Citadel!
