"Fine, live in a mudhole."

–

44cckw mentioning the term "mudhole" for the first time.

"Don't let other people enter my mudhole."

–

Mope222 forbidding other players from entering his house.

The mudhole is the most common name used for Mope222's house located in Paris. It is the first ever proper base constructed on the server by another player, other than 44cckw.

Although the mudhole looks primitive and simplistic in design, it houses a vast network of underground tunnels and rooms. It is known that the mudhole houses a rare block museum, a mushroom farm, among other miscellaneous recreational rooms. Access to the mudhole is severely limited, however. Mope rarely allows anyone to visit; even his closest friends are denied entrance.

Due to this, the mudhole has gained a legendary reputation among the Betaonline community. It is often cited as being one of the server's most fames and recognizable builds, and has constantly been the target of parodies and references.

Overview

The hut

Mr. Tree and Big D Gary

Mr. Tree and Big D Gary are two above-ground structures that are considered to be part of the mudhole. Mr. Tree was first constructed by Mope222 around the same time as the mudhole, though it has been destroyed and rebuilt many times throughout history. The current incarnation of Mr. Tree is the longest surviving one. The origins of Big D Gary on the other hand, is a bit more vague. It is unknown who constructed him, and its earliest known mention dates back to the middle of March 2022.

History

Origins

The mudhole first began construction on 7 March 2022, the same date Mope222 joined the server for the first time. The area the mudhole is built on was chosen due to its proximity to a large mineshaft that 44cckw had set up camp around, which was were the majority of player-activity occured at the time. He first begun digging into the ground, and the hut/entrance was added shortly afterwards. Although lightly griefed by StickyEXP, everything went smoothly.

The area around the mudhole and the aforementioned mineshaft, was originally the planned space in which 44cckw's house was to be built. This plan had to be scrapped due to Mope beating him to it, eventually leading to the founding of Oak Hills after 44cckw moved his base of operations.

Wemboz_1 built a very similar structure to that of Mope's mudhole, which has been referred to as Wemboz_1's mudhole in retrospect. This build was destroyed in early March to make space for the Paris Mansion. The mansion's planned size threatened to cut into the mudhole, and as such Mope agreed to move the hut (the entrance) a few blocks to the east, where it still stands today. During this time, the underground mushroom farm, lava pit and keyboard was constructed.

The pranks

FinsCon's pranks

FinsCon decided to prank Mope. He decided on 11 April 2022 to move the entrance of Mope's mudhole into Norbert's House while Mope was offline. Mope would move the entrance back to its original spot after he joined the server again.

On 30 August 2022, Mope would fall victim to yet another one of Fin's pranks. The entrance was once again moved from its original location into the Oil Rig. The hut was again moved back to its original location after Mope discovered this.

Hutapocalypse

Beginning in mid-September 2022, raddicted would start to build replicas of Mope's house all over betaonline. Mope's original house was not moved or damaged in any way.

Trivia

The term "Mudhole" was first coined by 44cckw on 11 March 2022.
FinsCon would construct a giant version of Mope's Hut in October 2022.
