Origins
Prior to the release of the 1.7 Survival World to the IC community, Coxy06 had played in the previous 1.6.4 Survival World, in which he helped establish two towns: Jungle Hills (alongside awesome10c00l), located outside of Old Spawn, and Frost Hills, located on a snow biome island. After reaching the new world, Coxy had made a small settlement several hundred blocks North of Spawn with sasha176 consisting of two homes and a stable, however he moved after a few days and the site became abandoned.

The Pennyworth Incident
Relocating to a small grassy plain in the center of a large desert thousands of blocks Northwest of Spawn, Coxy06 built a mansion along a riverside, dubbed "Cox Manor," where he resided for several weeks. During this time, Coxy06 built a nether portal and a pigman came out, which he and his brother, astrortain24, named "Pennyworth," and thereafter served as his personal butler. However, finding him to be distracting from his Minecraft activities, he decided to move once more to an island far to the North, building another mansion made of sandstone (which many months later was demolished and turned into plots). Eventually he sold Cox Manor to the player ultimatejumper, who used the area to later establish the town of Winston. After receiving the manor, ultimatejumper accidentally killed Pennyworth. His grave can still be visited to this day.

The Island
Coxy06 settled on a remote island to the North. Later deciding to establish a town upon the island, he began work on flattening the area and meeting the requirements for the town. When asked about the origin of its name, Rockshore Estates, he stated "I Googled names for towns and... yea XD." After meeting the requirements, Rockshore Estates alongside Pinewood City became the first two recognized towns of the new 1.7 Survival World.

Geography
The town is located on a small, grassy island several thousand blocks Northwest of Spawn. Neighboring areas include the unofficial town of Pentos, and several hundred blocks nearby is SuperMod GamerGuppy's Shadow of the Wind project. The town is also situated near a swamp biome, where more recent plot areas are located, a small spruce biome, and in the middle of a large strech of ocean. Several parts of the island have been filled in to accommodate for more citizens and builds.

Government
The current government structure consists of Coxy06 as Mayor with all citizens abiding by the town rules. The town is reachable via the Hub (being the first warp sign).
