Emperor Sian (in game EmperorSian2460, “Sian” to everyone) arrived in Season 2 on 2022-06-27, when he was added to the whitelist and promptly asked if anyone could lend him an iron pickaxe 1 2. Within weeks he was the season’s biggest grinder, and by his own cheerful account “the richest guy” and “the strongest guy” on the server 3 4.
The land grab
He staked his claim at once: the western sand island and the coast south and west of it 5, marked on the map at -527 68 323 6. He vouched for friends who came with him, Rk and ntize, and two days later threatened a war if ntize expanded into his land 7. Beneath the base sprawled an enormous cave system of mines, farms and a villager “torture room” 8. prop later called it “one of the only complete and properly designed bases on the server” 9; see Emperor Sian's Base.
Firsts
Sian collected server firsts the way other people collect cobblestone.
- First netherite item, he believed. His sword, a blade he named Enma, was forged on 2022-07-04 10 (First Netherite Sword).
- First full netherite “god armour”, as prop recorded it 11.
- The only Warden kill, “as of now” 12, made from a distance with a Power bow on 2022-07-09 13 14 (Sian Kills the Warden).
- The server’s first netherite block 15.

Feuds and losses
His great rival was ntize, known in game as _eb. They duelled constantly (Shyam vs Sian: Duels, Falls and Respawns); Sian slew eb with Enma 16, and a stolen Warden head fuelled the The First War: Warden Head Feud. Yet the two also formed the Sian-ntize alliance, hunting dragons and advancements together.
Grinding had its price. On 2022-07-16 Sian lost nearly everything, including his elytra and netherite tools, to piglin brutes in a bastion: “my stuff is in a bastion” 17. He had also killed 4528 creepers without a creeper head to show for it 18.
The grinder’s empire
Sian built a raid farm that gave “11 totems in 10 minutes” 19 (Sian's Raid Farm), then a cat farm 20, a villager hall, and a trapped Warden on display (Warden Cage). He killed his first Wither, called “disappointingly weak” 21, earned Beaconator 22, and bought a dragon egg for two netherite ingots 23. By mid-August he was on his fourth set of god armour 24.
His real obsession was advancements: “I care more about milestones bc they are more permanent” 25. He earned A Complete Catalogue on 12 August 26 and was chasing the stubborn “How Did We Get Here?” for weeks 27.
The statue
When Technoblade died, Sian built a tribute: a giant creeper head with a sculk-sensor door, then a slanted-sword statue. He announced “Finally finished my techno statue” on 2022-07-29 28 (Sian's Technoblade Memorial, The Technoblade Statue Reveal).
Season 2.5
Sian joined the Create-flavoured follow-up on 2023-03-27 and was immediately run over by prop’s train 29 (Sian Run Over by prop's Train). He moved into a ruined castle and declared “this is my kingdom” 30 (EmperorSian's Castle). prop used it to teach him Create, noting he was the only other person actively doing Create stuff 31.
