Ozone joined Project Zearth in 2025 as one of our passionate new builders. With a love for creative building that began back in 2014 on his PS3, he’s always been drawn to exploration and design over survival gameplay. Inspired by classic city maps like Broville, Ozone brings a unique Brovillian touch and attention to detail to his creations, often blending realism with charm. His enthusiasm for storytelling and world-building makes his work feel alive, and we’re thrilled to have him contributing to the growing legacy of Project Zearth!

1) Where are you from and how old are you?
16, I’m from Washington State, USA (not DC)

2) How did you first discover Minecraft, and what drew you to it?
Sometime in 2014. Originally I played on my PS3. What originally drew me in was always building and exploring, I wasn’t good at survival as a 5 year old so creative mode was my go to and it has stayed that way for the most part despite me trying to play in survival mode.

3) How did you become a builder for Project Zearth, and what motivated you to join?
I’ve liked city maps since around 2022, my first was Broville and Project Zearth was my second. I originally applied back in spring of 2025 but had a long hiatus so I haven’t managed to do much yet. I was inspired to be a builder because
a) I wanted to meet new people and make friends
b) I liked Project Zearth a lot and had been playing older versions at that time (highly recommend it if you like older Minecraft!)
c) I wanted to help the project out since it seemed like it was going to be a lot more work from then till release

4) Can you share a memorable or challenging experience you’ve had while working on Project Zearth?
When I first met Xoyjaz in-game, he had some very inspiring things to say about the project and it made the weight of it feel very real. It’s a piece of Minecraft history. A second one has been the various experiences of everyone I’ve met and chatted with while building! I wanted to shout out all the great people in their collective!

5) What architectural styles, themes, or projects do you find most inspiring and enjoy working on?
I like the Brovillian style since it’s what I usually build in by myself, but medieval-esque builds are also up there on my list!

6) How do you collaborate and connect with other builders within the Project Zearth community? Could you share a successful collaboration story?
I communicate my ideas or thoughts either via Discord or in-game when I think of something. I worked with my fellow member Mimbolo on a few interiors a while back, I think we worked well with me giving out ideas on little details to include.

7) What’s your favorite thing to do in Minecraft outside of building?
Exploring city maps, I don’t do much else!

8) What is your favorite accomplishment or proudest moment during your time on Project Zearth?
Being able to grow my expertise and contribute to Project Zearth is my “philosophical” current proudest achievement.

9) How has your experience on Project Zearth influenced your real-world creativity, if at all?
I’ve had a few ideas for making stories or adjacent writing set in Zearth, whether it be from a playthrough im doing or entirely made up but set in the universe, I like to write so the possibilities here are endless.

10) Looking ahead, are there any new Minecraft features, updates, or directions you’re excited to explore?
I’m looking forward to the spring to life update being on the server as well as the copper age. I think the former will bring even more life to any nature we create, and copper is nice for building.

11) Outside of Minecraft, what are your hobbies and interests? Do they influence your building style in any way?
I like gaming outside of minecraft, reading, and anything nature related. I’m particularly interested in reading about history and governments so I hope I can apply that to the project at some point, particularly my interest in different kinds of governments.

Thank you Ozone!
