There were 2 popular Disneyland/Disneyworld servers that were probably the first theme park servers in MC. They were called Palace Network (formerly MCMagic) and Haxicle Sticks.

I played on a couple of these as a kid a few times. Wow. Time flies so fast

As an old Minecade staff member/player and a Super Craft Bros enjoyer, thank you for that section. There's so much history and lore behind that server that it is unreal, and only the few that have stuck around really know about all of it.

I think what made me really sad was when HiveMC closed down their Java server and went strictly to Bedrock (at least from what I heard). I have never played bedrock before and I don't really plan on playing it anytime soon but I really wish they didn't have to close down their server. I loved that server and their block parties and survival games were my favorite gamemodes. RIP my childhood.

Mcpvp not being on this list is criminal. Was legitimately the hypixel of its day and paved the way for HCF and mini games servers. I loved that server so much

The day Hypixel shuts down is the day life is no longer worth living

out of all the servers, i'll never forget McPvP/McTeams.. and all the soup servers that tried to follow their formula whether it'll be Hardcore, Teams or HG. AdvancedPvP, McDreamZ, ParaPvP, and Lunar. RIP 2010 - 2015. Thanks for the nostlagic video as usual

I appreciate all the work you do, love watching the history of Minecraft and you continue to talk about topics I love to listen to. I’m a long time minecraft player and your videos about expensive account, death of minecraft servers, and so much more are so interesting. Have a good one bro

There was this one server I used to play on about ten years ago… It was a small Hardcore Survival server that reset every month. If you donated, you could revive *once and only once* per month, but if you died, you could play on a nightmare world for the rest of the month. It was amazing and awesome. I wish I could think of it's name…

12:00 look up "how to pronounce epitome"

Ahhh man, good old Minecraft factions. Huge highlight as a kid, the environment and friends and memories will never be forgotten.

I am glad that Cosmic PVP is gone forever because it won't do p2w stuff anymore

One server I used to play on a bunch before it shutdown was LichCraft. I exclusively played creative mode with a bunch of friends and built a big-ish city. Around 10x10 plots adjacent to each other. Played it all throughout Middle School. Badlion UHC was so much fun back then too.

I love your content keep it up. I believe that when Samito brings back Mineplex that it will have a spark in the community, just like it did back in the 2013 - 2016 days. Samito has also reached out to CaptainSparklez, which means that he could possibly return to the Mineplex community as a content creator.

Cosmic PvP didn’t choose to have the server only be connectable through the cosmic client, it was blacklisted by Mojang and that Is why

As a former Minecade staff member who was there when Good Gaming purchased Minecade, I just wanted to say that it is great that you touched upon the server. Minecade has always had a troubled history regarding ownership and management, and it sucks that it always had that problem considering the originality and uniqueness of its games. Minecade arguably could have remained a competitive server if it was given the attention it so desperately needed.

Crazy how big some of those servers were and now gone. I ran a Factions server called Icewynd PvP from 2012 - 2015. It was a lot of work but so much fun. Factions servers were really incredible with all the drama and politics. Thanks for making this video!

Thanks for the video coverage of the Archon merge. I personally never played but I’m a staff at OBMC and it’s been tough helping archon players adapt to our more laid back, less pvp focused gamemodes.

Shotbow has sat at the top of my server list for probably a decade now, and it pains me to see its player count dwindle over time, even if I haven't played on it in years. I keep wondering when it will be shut down.

Hey there! I made that one reddit post during the Minecade section, and am also a Nexly developer. Thanks so much for covering Minecade; that server genuinely meant a lot to me since I met most of my best friends there. To clarify a bit on the NFTs- Good Gaming created an NFT project called MicroBuddies, and had announced via press release that a revival of Super Craft Brothers would involve MicroBuddies. However, the final game ultimately contained no NFT integration, though you are able to purchase "MicroBuddy spawn eggs" with coins earned within the game. But yeah, as TrueThaumaturge said, the new SCB turned out awful anyways, NFTs or no.

You should include Emerald Isle in the next video. It was a very nostalgic server if you were a fan of Stampy/Squid back in the day. It had hunger games, sky wars, and had a unique mini-game with roller coasters. You would board a mine-cart and go around a themed coaster shooting as many mobs as possible to get a high score. The coasters themselves were also made Nuropsych. A legend in the Minecraft community who made the most impressive builds. Stampy and Squid and everyone else in that group made tons of videos on it back then, and it was very popular around 2013-2015. I had a ton of fun on the server when it was still up. It ended up shutting down in June 2017, but I cant remember why. I still miss it to this day

I appreciate these informational videos regarding servers and their statuses but there hasn't been a breaking minecraft vid is a while and I'm starting to miss those!

For anyone missing Super Minecraft Maker from Minecade, MiniRealms recreated it in 1.19 and it's really unknown for the moment. Almost no video on it and the website is hard to find. But it exists!

I feel like a common theme of this is that 1.8 pvp is declining in popularity

I definitely think you should do a part two, this was really interesting!

MCPVP was the server I played when younger. I loved their hunger games and raid servers. Sadly, the EULA killed them.

this video really makes me remember an old server i helped creating/running it was a modded server around the mod "dragonblock c" which adds a dragon ball themed rpg system to the game we made npcs and quests for players to level up and get stronger and occassionally did pvp events but it was mainly a pve games focused on grinding up your stats there were several servers with that concept and a lot of them vanished quite quickly again im pretty sure only one from the old time is still running but thats mostly cause its backed by the mod creator the server i helped with was at the time quite popular but we often had issues with bad staff that destroyed parts of the server so whenever something like that happened the server had to go on maintainance to get recovered sadly the staff options in that community were quite limited and good server staff was pretty much impossible to get the server had around 30-50 ish people online at all times peaking at nearly 100 and i do remember when a certain event happened there were like 180 or so players online marking the record which is quite impressive for a niche modded server due to the dragonball super ending and 1.7.10 losing popularity the playerbase of the dragonblock c mod began to shrink and our server was unfortunately nuked by a hired dev who got upset at the owner we tried to rebuild the server one more time and the motivation of the staff wasnt quite there we did try several projects afterwards but nothing ended up actually going public that server really meant a lot to be and partially inspired me to continue on the path i am on now that all happened during my last years of highschool and now im an apprentice programmer and my dream is to eventually make a game that makes at least some people happy which is why im starting to look at the pokemon community and their fangames/romhacks

Great video maybe make a video like that but about Minecraft RU-vidrs?

you have uploading time down to perfection it seems like every time I go onto RU-vid you've uploaded a video within the past hour or so, lol.

I'm surprised you didn't include McPvP. This server died in 2015, and was absolutely legendary for the time. Some of the best gamemodes ever like CTF and HG were my childhood. A crazy amount of extremely popular modern day youtubers also had their start on it. Leafyishere, Badboyhalo, Callahan, Awesamdude (or is it awesamdad? I remember both of them and they'd always play together) and others came from here. Badboyhalo's server "Munchymc" contains a few of the remnants of McPvP, as he was an admin on the server and inherited some of their gamemodes. Heck, if I think deeper about this, there's even more. Popular ASMR RU-vidr "JojoASMR" (or something like that) started with Minecraft Hunger Games on McPvP, under the name Sinn0h. Popular Rocket League youtuber Rizzo also started with McPvP Hunger Games. Shoot I feel nostalgic now haha, been a while

Hearing about Super Craft Bros again brought back some long forgotten memories. I used to play on that server daily for months when I was younger, and I somehow never realized it was part of Minecade, probably having to do with the fact my friends gave me a direct IP to one of the lobbies. Glad to see there's a continuation of the gamemode and that I can go relive one of my favorites.

Thankyou so much for talking about Minecade, that server was legit my childhood For those interested there’s a couple servers that have completely remade Minecade’s two most popular mini games, Nexly Network for Super Craft Bros and Mini Realms for Super Minecraft Maker! The Minecade community is still there, even after the original server being gone for so long

this vid brought back some great memories of the uhc and sg days. i miss watching huahwi destroying lobbies with a flint and steel and the xnestorio badlion uhc highlights

you forgot bajancandians and jeromes server the nexus, for me and alot of people that was the peak of survival/hunger games minecraft

I used to main the super smash mob game back when it still existed and the super mario maker-esk gamemode was really fun! I know all about Minecade (when it was still up) and I wish I could go back to those days

I love your videos man they always make me happy and very helpful and enjoyable

The thing that killed the archon was changing owners, the new owner changed the server completely (economy, general goals for the server affecting gameplay) it became pay to win even with payouts for who paid the most money. They were resetting maps every month and people would still have 1000x golem grinders 20 chunk buffer walls 1st day in . They had payouts for the richest factions at the end of the month upwards of 250$, ultimately a money grab to get people to buy ranks and perks , crates to have an edge to win the rat race

I had a brief stint as staff on hoaxmc (archon's sister server), gave me so many memories. It's so sad to see how they've just gone...

Good video, keep up the good work!

I think this video just reawakened a few lost memories of me playing on Minecade. I _swear_ remember playing that SMM clone minigame...

Damn, I guess client requirements, non-clear EULA, corporate idiocy, competitiveness dying, the 1.9 update and Minecraft loosing popularity in it's old days really screw up servers.

Thank you for talking about Minecade! You definitely did your homework. Myself and some other friends of mine from the old Minecade community were very satisfied. Well done :)

I have a vauge memory of a server called lava-craft. Mainly a housing for plot builds and a huge collection of pixel art with some breif spleef and pvp arenas scattered around.

I feel like the only way to still keep MC servers alive is for the popular RU-vidrs to still play them.

You should make a video on mine club had one of the most insane downfalls going from 0 to 4k concurrent players in months and then died due to owner controversies it was crazy

i wish there were still servers who ran factions stilk (i haven’t been able to find any in years) as the last server i was in that had it was McOrigins until it shut down sometime in 2018/19 :(

Shieeeeeet, we going down the 6 years of nostalgia for me. I was a factions junkie. It gave me adrenaline that hunger games didn't really give because hunger games playstyle was very straightforward and predictable, but factions had way more dynamics to it and even had the fourth wall element of people using booters to boot people offline (back when Skype was a thing).

A few years ago I played a minecraft english and dutch server called Primemc every day. It was the way I met most of my online friends at the time and it was pretty much all I did. I came on one day and noticed the server icon changed, so I joined the server to see the Archon. I asked some of the staff members what happened and they said that PrimeMc got merged with Archon. Ever since then I have pretty much never seen those friends again. So sad that the Archon also got merged

Man, this gives me childhood nostalgia. Glad to see Mineplex is coming back!

I used to play on this server called mineswine. It had a gamemode called Jedi Craft wich was like a starwars PVP gamemode. It also had a game called SGRL wich was survival games with guns. That server was great but it had ownership issues if I remember right, then it died.

I think if you added SG integration into the survival server on og-network, that could encourage people to play SG by getting some sort of reward on the survival server. I would also experiment with using 1.9 pvp vs 1.8 to see what the playerbase prefers

great video dawg

not so recent anymore, but one of the servers i liked to play on most was grians server. there was a really cool disaster survival minigame. i feel like grian might be able to bring it back since his channel has become really big since then but maybe he just doesnt want to

Very nice Video!

by the way, you used the word a few times but I just wanted to give a friendly note that it's e-pit-oh-me (epitome)! this was a great video regardless :)

Ive been playing minecraft for a long time, its sad how much things are changing but it makes room for new things

yeah, i remember these, i miss them.

it's always a good day when themisterepic uploads a new video

You should cover roleplay servers. 2013-18 was an intereeting era for them

I just thought about if the servers that I used to play are still up, and they are not. Wow I feel old now. It was a great time playing from 2011-2021 May the memories stay good ❤

WHY ARE ALL YOUR VIDEO TITLES SO FLIPPIN GOOD

it makes me sad seeing all these servers shut down. in elementary & middle school i was huge into UHC and Factions servers, i almost never played Minecraft on a single player world unless i was going to play over LAN with someone. some of my best memories come from playing UHC, Factions, and even some of the minigame servers. it's sad to see it slowly dying but i hope there may be a revival, especially with people bringing back a lot of things that bring them nostalgia. i loved playing survival games as well, and while i did have java edition (which is where i played most of the time at home unless someone came over and didn't have a laptop or computer), i had pocket edition to play while i was at school and remember when they finally added servers and some of the first ones that got popular were survival games servers. they were good times and i miss them. i play on bedrock so that i can play with my friends on consoles but nothing beats those java servers in my opinion. i used to also play on an ATLA based server with one of my friends. i'm pretty sure it's either shut down or got a complete overhaul of everything but i always loved those types of servers as well.

CraftCadia was one of the great PvP servers I’ve found back in the day. It merged with LethalPVP in 2012 and closed abruptly in 2016 due to poor leadership practices. it’s coming back online at some point, but when… not sure.

I would love to see a part 2 for old servers probably the server I would want to see on the list would be The Nexus that was co owned by Jerome and Bajan Canadian back in 2013

love your content keep up the work

No one talks about The Core MC. It was the best mini game server with the very best unique mini games. Roll the dice and control point were the best mini games I have ever played on any server.

Lachlan’s factions server Treasure Wars was so good back in its day, in my opinion it shutting down made me the saddest out of every server that went down

I used to watch Preston and Woofless' Cosmic factions series' pretty much daily growing up, at the time, Preston was my favourite RU-vidr and this was before his content went super children-focused and I really enjoyed it. While I never joined the server, I still knew alot about the server from these videos, like what all the custom enchantments did etc. If the server hadn't gone extremely P2W or needed some random client to play, I probably would've at least checked it out, as it looked like quite alot of fun otherwise. It probably would've hurt less if the server had just closed instead of going P2W.

I dont know if a German-Speaking Minecraft Player is here, but I liked Block City very much. It was mainly a City-Building Server combined with economy and some minor side Gamemodes. It used multiple worlds you were able to travel between using shields or commands. Sadly, due to a complicated mess at the EULA Crisis, the server has been closed. The Staff tried to revive it, but failed. Apperantly, the owner left with the money that was still there, but I dont know exactly what happend. I miss the community. The closing of the server lead to the end of my Minecraft playing time.

its been 4 months, i justed watched it, very nice, played a few. one server i will always remeber that shut was called minesaga, basic skyblock server, but fun and chill. sold to arcehon at some point sadly. never gonna forget it

I kinda expected octaneMC and mctrovical as they were popular youtube servers but very good vid very nostalgic

Used to play cosmic factions all the time sad to see it has shut down

The demise of TheArchon is actually so sad it was one of the staples of Minecraft Factions now it seems the gamemode as a whole even on newer servers is dying out wish more of the newer generation could have experienced the type of memories I made on TheArchon growing up. But I digress once again Epic amazing video.

MinePlex shutting down was so unexpected 4 me because it was one of the top servers to auto appear on bedrock minigame servers

I legitimately teared up watching this video. The nostalgia is so crazy.

I used to play PhanaticMC for a long time. It shut about 2 years ago. I loved their PVP gamemodes as a casual player

Man I remember playing MCSG back in like 2014 via individual servers. R.I.P. Used to loved that place

always a good day when this dude uploads

I just turned 18 last december and im already gonna start renting my own house (mybparents are not kicking me out there is just a complicated situation rn lol) but seeing all these servera fade away is just depressing it feels like my childhood is fading away sometimes, but im sure things will get better eventually, they always do,.god bless you all

There was this one server called antcraft that I used to play on. One day, the website and server disappeared completely, claiming they were hacked. Many who used to play on it theorise the owner just took the money from it and ran.

Man I miss the old cosmic, I played on the first demon planet season and fell in love with cosmic and factions, I want to recreate the old factions but add the new enchants and such, like 10 lores etc. i do miss old cosmic.

for MCSG, you use Formed by Glaciers by Kubbi, and I got really exited. I’ve loved their music for a while now and it’s one of my favorite.

heck yeah Minecade! That was one of my favorite servers, I liked all of the SethBling games on there (and at least one or two others) and Super Craft Brothers is still my favorite! Hopefully the Nexly Network gets more attention. I remember there being another server that had Dwarves vs. Zombies (not the one that split from PlayMindcrack), but I forgot what it was called. I guess it was shortlived, though. There was also a server with a variation of Smash Bros. (had character names such as “Browser” instead of “Bowser”) and another with SethBling’s Ghost Recon, I wish I remembered what they were called… Still miss the Gazamo server, too.

tharchon was my absolute favourite server, it was kinda p2w but not to mutch. the unique skyblock plugins such as the mobcoin/mobcoinshop, robots, fishing and unique mobarmor made me love the server so mutch. I made so mutch memories on the server and am still very emotionial when i think back about the server. pls comeback someday!!!

MCPVP was awesome. they had survival games, some murder catcher game, ctf, smash bros (or something similar), skywars (I think..?). Wish all of it could exist in newer versions with the same community. Runecraft was a popular server owned by SitaruRadu, classic economy/power based factions; where you had to kill the faction members to lower their power, then overclaim their land to be able to break blocks, open chests etc. Edawg878 was sold out and has been very inactive, used to be a fun pvp server (even though it was creative plots).

TheMisterEpic greatly overestimates the amount of multiplayer content I've played and watched over the years.

i kind of remember a server having a gamemode where a red and blue team would fight in an arena with a bow and arrow and i think also a iron sword while making forts with wool, i dont remember what server it was in but it was the glory days of my childhood

A few of my favorites that shut down were The Nexus, MCPvp, MineHQ (which fun fact would eventually become Lunar), VeltPvP and ItsJerryAndHarry to name a few

For me the server shutdown that I found the most sad was the shotbow network. i really enjoyed all the modes on there it was really enjoyable. i remember i tried to hop on a couple years ago and found out it perished :(

I loved TheArchon's meta with protection blocks you could /hat as unbreakable armor

your telling me someone couldve literally been a professional minecraft PVP player that would literally be the funniest thing I would have ever seen

One of my favourite servers that came and went so quickly was VikkCraft owned by the popular mc RU-vidr at the time, Vikkstar123. I remember playing survival games and skywars so much on that server until the day it shut down. Another server I loved was The Hive, and seeing it shutdown not too long ago really sucked. Me and my friend used to play Hive hunger games every single day with our old laptops side by side. Nothing will beat 2013-2015 Minecraft for me

Man, cosmic and archon was open last winter before I quit factions, it’s just sad how they just shut down like that

this reminds me alot of what is happening with cubecraft, the server went from 30k active players a day to 2k active players a day because of one mistake they made, remove 1.8s servers, as you may know like in skyblock 1.8 is very limited in what you can do in it and seeing as cubecraft wanted to stand out they wanted to update, not to mention that it was the most played 1.8 server in europe seeing as the lag wasnt that bad and its pvp system didnt have many plugins making it feel odd (because so many europeans had bad ping on hypixel or didnt like hypixels feel, they went to cubecraft) but as i said i was talking about mistakes and in 2021 they made the announcement that they were to shut down all 1.8 servers for the 1.12 servers to still go on, clans like lk were basically scrambling all the players they could have for 1.12's pvp system because when it hit, most 1.8 players stopped playing making several clans stop and that makinga ripple effect to 1.12 players in clans that stopped because of their dead clan, right now cube has 1-2k active players at one time with most gamemodes having been deleted indefinitely

as one of the minecade staff that resigned in the mass resignation in 2018 I really appreciated how you handled the topic minecade has been largely swept under the rug in recent years (largely due to the incompetence of the management) so it's nice to see it covered in any way

I don't usually like playing on servers in Minecraft, and literally the only 2 servers I got genuinely invested in both got shut down, one by the owner and one from literally getting a C&D from Mojang

i think one of the severs i miss most, and is just not talked about at all anymore was the TNT wars server

Such an underrated channel

There was a faction server back when I was a kid called uniquecraft and it was owned by a guy named Thetduong. It was such a simple server but it was honestly the best server I ever played on still to this day. Other than this drug server I found that I got rich af on.
