Crateris is a multi-themed town in Froobworld mostly aimed at welcoming in Froobworld players who wish to build their own homes. Two apartments have recently been added for those who wish to move into existing spaces.
The town of Crateris was formally set in stone on October 14, 2022 by RobotSausage. Robot is the owner of Paff, an industrial complex bordering on the town of Crateris. He made the decision that a town would benefit from the bounty of resources generated from Paff and NetherPaff.
History
Ancient Times
Crateris is built around an ancient impact crater, an event believed to have occurred in Ancient times. Local astronomers have analyzed the impact angle and meteorite fragments and have concluded that the asteroid which impacted this location came from the direction of the star Zeta Reticuli, in the constellation Reticulum. This would deem the asteroid in question an interstellar object, making this location in Froobworld very special. Medieval folklore insists there are creatures in the nearby caves that are not of this world, however many of the caves have been illuminated to prevent any unexpected visitors.
The Six-Minute War
On February 5 2025, the town of Crateris came under attack by the corporation of Mojave. This would become known as the Six Minute War, given the war lasted roughly six minutes. Beginning with TheInsomniacFish firing their cannon west towards Crateris, a support pillar on the east loop of The Tube was badly damaged. Inexplicably, it did not collapse. To make things even more confusing, both Fish and RobotSausage decided to switch sides, with Fish standing her ground at Crateris while Robot manned (robot'd) the cannon and opened fire, further damaging the crumbling Tube pillar. But the rebar holding the pillar together held up, and after the end of the very brief conflict, the town engineers determined that the pillar did not need to be repaired. Today, the damaged pillar remains as it was during those fateful six minutes as a reminder of what took place, and to hopefully prevent history from repeating itself.
Southern Annexation
Plans to push the southern town border south began in February 2025, where the land south of Crateris was lit up to prevent mobs from spawning and marking out potential future roads. The Tube was formally expanded into this new area in early March 2025, including the reconfiguration of the existing portion of The Tube over the area of Crateris Park. This resulted in the ability to formally request to shrink the distinct protected area of Paff (industrial complex next to Crateris) to allow the southern annex to push through unobstructed.
Main Attractions
The Tube
If you want to travel the old fashioned way, but don't feel like walking, you can access all the various residential districts of Crateris via The Tube. The main station for the east and west loops are found at the top floor of City Hall. The Tube was rated 10/10 by Minecart_Blog.
As of February 1st 2025, The Tube has been branched out towards Mojave, with direct access via the left side station waypoint at City Hall. A person riding on the right side track on the east loop can also exit their minecart and replace it on the left side track at any point up to The End/Taiga Station and resume travel to Mojave.
As of March 9 2025, The Tube underwent a reconfiguration near Crateris Park, as well as a full expansion south of the original southern town border (now expanded south).
There are now six distinct lines within The Tube:
- West Loop
- Northwest Loop
- Southwest Loop
- East Loop
- Northeast Loop
- Southeast Loop
There are also three transfer stations that enable access to both the West and East Loops:
- North Central Station
- The Underground Mall Station&Lounge
- South Central Station

The Underground Mall
Located below the town of Crateris is The_Underground_Mall. Unlike Spawn Town, which features individual outdoor plots where you build the walls and other structures for your shop to sell items, The_Underground_Mall has kiosks. Here, you can set up a small boutique (or two!) with fewer retail and build restrictions than Spawn Town. A popular go-to for Froobworld shoppers is Mojave+ which is the Froobworld equivalent of Costco.
Battle Complex
Currently under construction, this facility will feature multiple floors with different, very distinct battle conditions for PVP battle. More information to come.
Mojave
Currently located outside the town border (there are no current plans to merge the lands to officially be part of Crateris), MOJAVE can be accessed by going east along the main east-west road of Crateris. MOJAVE is the Froobworld equivalent of a Costco.
SCUBA Diving In The Bay Of Crateris
Thanks to a conveniently placed conduit in the middle of the bay, you can explore the vast wonders of the bay without worry of drowning, while being able to see everything as though you had just chugged a potion of Night Vision.
