New Bubbletown is a massive, urban city located northeast of spawn. It was established on the twelfth of August, 2021. The owners are TBoneX07 and salthepal128. Some of the most notable and iconic structures in the city are Bubblebridge, Bubblemall, Measan Stadium, Bubble Needle Observatory and others. For around the first 3 months of Map 11, New Bubbletown was under control by the New Bubbletown Authority which was run by bubbleGuy192. The New Bubbletown Authority eventually shut down in November 6th 2021 after TBoneX07 kicked bubbleGuy192 out of power and took over.

Early Beginnings

New Bubbletown started out in a flat and hilly area near spawn. TBoneX07 established the city after building a cobblestone border on the shores of the town, and put signs around saying that New Bubbletown was established. The first buildings to go up were the PuuPath Inc. Headquarters, MiningYourOres's brick tower and Bubblemall, all located in the Downtown district of Burghian. Bubblemall's influence helped expand the city due to the traffic of players coming in to purchase people's stuff. After a while the city was abandoned due to bubbleGuy192's harsh treatment toward the New Bubbletown Authority and the lack of motivation.

New Era

After bubbleGuy192 was removed from the New Bubbletown Authority and Puucraft in November of 2021, TBoneX07 and salthepal128 got rid of the New Bubbletown Authority and began go expand the city, building around 20 new skyscrapers in 7 days, and expanding further out into the Downtown district of Mesome and the Uptown districts of Sarnic and Measan. This new era of New Bubbletown was much more peaceful and quaint as bubbleGuy192 was no longer around to boss people around.

Bubblemall

Bubblemall is the main icon tower complex of the city. It features 3 nearly identical buildings, all built with snow, glass and wood. Before Map 11 was released, bubbleGuy192 intended for the Bubblemall Complex to have 8 identical towers, but this was narrowed down to 4 and then finally 3 to save resources and maintain motivation. Its Northwestern Tower was the first tower to be planned out and constructed in the city and took around 5 hours to build. Shortly after the second tower was constructed, the East tower. Finally, the Southwest tower was the last to be completed, and took the longest to finish. TBoneX07 often refers to the Southwest Tower as the "Forgotten Tower." In around September, Bubblemall was expanded and a basement area was added. This was to make the shopping experience feel more open and hopefully draw in more attention, however this was not the case and the Basement's shops still remain vacant. In mid January, a big upgrade was added and the underground railway station was revamped in order to compensate for the Railway Trade Union line going to Bubblemall, as well as other railways going to Bubblemall, as a part of the city's infrastructure. Some features of the towers include the Bubblemall Sky Gardens on the roof of the East Tower, the Bubblemall Tranquil Garden which is beside the East Tower, a Dance Club on the top floor of the Southwest tower, and a seasonal shop on the second floor of the Northwest Tower. On the 8th of May, 2022, TBoneX07 sold the Southwest tower which is equivalent to 25% of Bubblemall's assets to Mixarium for $2,000 PuuBux. This resulted in 75% of Bubblemall's assets (East Tower, Northwest Tower, Basement) being owned by TBoneX07 and salthepal128, and 25% if Bubblemall's assets (Southwest Tower) being owned by Mixarium. The entire complex took about 80 stacks of snow blocks, 71 stacks of wood planks, and 68 stacks of glass. The tower was designed by bubbleGuy192, and was built by players such as midgetpounder, TheXLMinecrafter, Mixarium, samwoot, luigiriot, TBoneX07, bluecrafter07, salthepal128, PlotyMinecraft, CalmCreeper360 and others.

New Bubbletown Authority

The New Bubbletown Authority was created by bubbleGuy192 to plan out and manage his new, next map project, New Bubbletown. The New Bubbletown Authority featured people such as bubbleGuy192, TBoneX07 and many of bubbleGuy192's friends who had no correlation to Puucraft. This caused a lot of controversy amongst the New Bubbletown Authority, and due to the demanding and bossy attitude from bubbleGuy192, construction and motivation in the city slowed and deteriorated. TBoneX07 and salthepal128 asked bubbleGuy192 to make the New Bubbletown Authority more balanced, and bubbleGuy192 agreed. On the 17th of October 2021, bubbleGuy192 made the new authority which was comprised of the main city owners as well as some builders that helped with the city. However, despite this more balanced feature, bubbleGuy192 was still very demanding and adamant about what he wanted built and how he wanted it. Because of this, TBoneX07 kicked bubbleGuy192 out of the New Bubbletown Authority as well as the project. After this, the New Bubbletown Authority was closed and was replaced with the New Bubbletown Discord.

Sarnic, Lakeshore, Measan and most of Coastantia are located in the Uptown region. Downtown regions are mostly comprised of skyscrapers and tall buildings, and the Uptown regions are mostly comprised of homes, apartment buildings, and small towers.

Notable Builds

Some notable builds throughout the city include:

Bubblebridge

built by TBoneX07 and salthepal128 and took about a month to build. It is the largest Suspension Bridge in Map 11 and possibly the largest Suspension Bridge ever on Puucraft.

Measan Stadium

a massive indoor stadium featuring a modular arena for PvP and Spleef. The Stadium took about a week to complete, and was built by TBoneX07, salthepal128, Existing_Player, Bluecrafter07 and others. The stadium features 12 skyboxes, shop spaces, locker rooms, and a lot of seats. In total the stadium can hold about 960 people, which is a little more than the number of people in the Puucraft Discord server as of the time that this article is written. It is the largest Stadium ever in Puucraft history, and if Brixworth's stadium is ever built, Measan Stadium will be the largest indoor stadium in Puucraft history.
