History
Franknificant joined in May 2020, but would remain largely inactive until September 2020.

Four Spawn Churches Project
After learning about the existence of Fight Club, Franknificant got into contact with Forceken and decided to build a church arena for the next event. With the help of Monkeboy121, he mined ender chests at spawn for the obsidian for the church. The structure was built 9.5k from spawn and used for the event. After the event the Franknificant got donations from people liking his build. He decided to take on a bigger challenge and worked on a design of a church in his hometown in the Netherlands; the Saint Laurenschurch, which was also built on 2b as an obsidian structure on the opposite coordinates of the Notre Dame. After this project, Franknificant learned how to use schematica properly and decided to add more details and variety to his next project, instead of just using obsidian. Together with Mishathewarlord, he built a third church: The Berliner Dom, again on similar coordinates. This time Franknificant didn’t just use obsidian, but integrated an "obsidian core" in the entire build, making it much harder to grief, while also allowing for variation as to the block palette. The obsidian core functions as a skeleton for the build. This makes rebuilding much easier in the event of a gried, as the skeleton remains as long as the obsidian is not destroyed.

While working on the Berliner Dom, Franknificant also built the ‘Trumpkin’ arena for Fight Club's Halloween/Presidential election event. When the Berliner Dom was almost finished, the location was leaked and the build was partially destroyed. Here the obsidian core however served its purpose and preserved the shape of the structure. Franknificant and Misha decided to wait for a month before returning and finishing the build for the very last Fight Club Event. During that event, the arena and build were visited by famous Turkish minecraft youtuber Doğukan Adal.

In December 2020, Franknificant participated in Forcekens and Redstoner2b2t's attempt to make an enormous TNT cube, which he accidentally caused to be detonated prematurely. Despite this failure he was invited to contribute to the Infinity Incursion1 million TNT explosion project for New Years Eve. Here he made a TNT replica of his first church: the Notre Dame.

In early January 2021, Franknificant was invited by Joey_Coconut to build at Adamantium, a joint Shortbus Caliphate and Guardsmen base, where he built a rendition of the Frederick’s Church from Denmark. At this point the obsidian core became his trademark.

After these side-projects he decided to finish his Four Spawn Churches Project by building the Hagia Sofia from Turkey, about 9.5 k from spawn. During the building process he was assisted by multiple Turkish builders, including Poyraz_Kaptan, 0yiqitozturk, gokberkimben, 00Volkan and BUSOK. The build was successfully used as a part of the second Lost Nomad Games event.

New Projects
After finishing the spawn churches project, Franknificant decided to take a small break from major projects. He did participate however in the construction of Sinkhole City, where he built a Hitler pixel-art in the sky. He also contributed to the third Lost Nomad Games event, building a large Etika pixel-art at the site. Around that time, he was invited by BachiBachBach to take a leadership position in the new Infinity Incursion Building division. Franknificant also started organizing within the George Floyd Spawn Incursion, a meme group with the self-stated goal of "ending racism on the server". In April he was interviewed by Lunch_Katsu about his experiences on the server.
