CFUK Library, or Crazy-Fools UK Library in full, is a library located at the Spawn of the Survival Server map. The library contains accessible bookshelves that have copies of a variety of books written by many different players on the server.

History

The building that houses the library is located close to the Spawn hole and originally had no purpose when it was first built by Shield543.

An idea to have a grand library containing many books from the server was originally proposed by RedTrexler long before the current Spawn was built. RedTrexler also wanted this since there were many books in Trexlergrad that he wished to be archived and added to a library.

Eventually the idea to place a central library in the current Spawn was proposed. The library was designed before MineCraft version 1.20 was formally released, but chiselled bookshelves had been hinted at. When chiselled bookshelves eventually came out, the bookshelves on the ground floor of the library were promptly replaced so that players could come in and actually borrow real written books from the server, or take them off the shelf and copy them to have a personal copy.

The archive

Below the library is a room (currently accessible by anyone), and contained within it are barrels with the books collected by the library and placed in barrels named by their categories. Any players can open these barrels to see what collection the library holds, but they are donation locked and so cannot be removed by players who have not been given access. Players can, however, add books to these barrels to contribute to the collection.

The archive serves as a collection of all the originals of books written by players. Often players wish to keep their original writing, and instead provide the library with a 'copy of original', which is stored in the archive. The bookshelves above the archive in the library hold further copies of these.
