RIP Mineplex 

Mineplex was a place where I spent extreme amount of time, since like 2014-2015. R.I.P Mineplex

I will forever miss this Mineplex server. RIP Mineplex 2013-2023.

Goodbye Mineplex. Goodbye Mineplex community, there are so many of us it’s impossible to thank every single one. But thank you. I played from 2014 to 2019, and I remember the 2015-2017 peak to this day, such a great time on the server. I love you all. ❤ Take care, and I hope you Mineplex veterans will live a good life with many achievements. I hate growing up.

Haven't played Minecraft like that in several years, but this really stings. Mineplex was my most played and favorite server when I was a kid. Some of my fondest memories with Minecraft were in Mineplex. RIP. Thank you for being a major part of my childhood.

the most surprising thing was really that there wasn't even a proper sendoff for it. It literally was just that one day you couldn't connect to the servers anymore, and it disappeared from the Bedrock featured server list without any warning.

Rest In Peace, Mineplex. You were loved by many, and you didn't deserve to go out with a whimper.

Moment of silence for the Giant Tree in spawn. It held endless memories of parkour, betrayel, and shenanigans. You will be missed

Ahh my childhood, played Mineplex when I was 12, now I'm 21 and it's gone, RIP Mineplex you will truly be missed by many. 💔

Dang, there goes 1,900 hours of playtime and countless good memories. Knew it had to come eventually but it doesn't make it any less sad

Mineplex gave some of the most memorable memories, god were those times amazing, definitely one of the greatest servers to ever exist

In the early years, the big 3 servers had their own big Minecraft content creator sponsor partner. Mineplex had you, Jardon, CaptainSparklez, Hipixel had Tom, Syndicate, and The Hive had, Pat, PopularMMOs. I found each server through each of their videos, and man were those good times, when they would each make their own competitively skilled based content around the mini games on the respective servers.

I know this is going to be buried, but I just wanted to say you were the first RU-vidr I ever watched more than one video of jardon. My friend showed me your videos back in 2013-2014 about modded survival and whatever else you were doing that I’ve forgotten. I absolutely loved your hunger games videos and watched every single one of them. I remember you would always start with “in a world…” or something like that, and it made me super excited. Me and my friend used to call on our landlines, making our parents phone bill skyrocket 😂. I eventually stopped playing mineplex and moved on to cubecraft eggwars, then hypixel skywars & bedwars, and now I mainly play hypixel skyblock. I also stopped watching your videos for a while. The I remembered about the troll craft videos with crainer and ssundee, and rewatched them all. Then I continued to watch ur new videos. I know this isn’t much but it’s more a chance for me to say thank you so much for all the good times you gave me throughout the years. Thank you, and rip mineplex

I was part of the staff team of Mineplex for a short period of time in 2020 - 2021 and was a player on mineplex since 2014 this definitely stings to see it shutdown but there were numerous times where mineplex could have fixed itself and turned to the better but they failed every time. Eula situation deff was of the the first big obstacles that Mineplex faced at the time it was really difficult to gage and that is understandable, but even in recent times the owners of the server never involved them self to do anything with the community making the whole community in itself feel like they were only doing it for the money and didn't care about the player base or the server. Which I think was the biggest reasons for Mineplex's downfall, there are many other reasons which I wont get into but the staff team as wholesome as they seem from the outside, and efficient it looked, it was a whole diffrent story when you actual become staff. There were constant drama, fights and abuse of power going on within the staff team. Last thing I am going to touch upon is the lack of ideas... There was 0 new content they were creating at Mineplex it was the same 4 events they had every year with the same recycled maps and hoping for the best. They even got a saving grace on 2020 when there was a huge player surge because of COVID, but it wasn't a player surge that would last too long which turned into the demise of Mineplex. I am 100% going to miss Mineplex and all the memories that I have made on that server and all the people I have met on that server but this was a long time coming and I am surprised that it took this long for them to shut it down to be honest.

Goodbye Mineplex, you will always be in our hearts.

I will never forget Mineplex. I used to play on it all the time in elementary school, and I won a rank via chest and made my siblings so jealous my mom had to buy ranks for both of them so they didn’t feel left out. I logged back into it like a year ago just to see how the server was doing, and I still have my rank, my pets, my morphs, my mounts, everything. Frozen in time. I’m a college student now, and seeing the server down knowing I’ll never get that back makes me sad. But it had an amazing run. RIP Mineplex, you guys were the OGs. o7

I remember coming home after elementary school logging on to this wonderful server and playing Super Smash Mobs! Crazy to think I'm almost done with college now, man. It truly hurts me to see that it's shutting down, millions of memories over the years. I will forever miss this server and it will always hold a special place in my heart. RIP Mineplex :(

Man, tons of memories just came flooding back. Mineplex was the cornerstone of Minecraft before the Hypixel monopoly came around. It was a great time and a great server.

"Dead people get more flowers than living ones because regret is stronger than gratitude"

Very true about the maintenance that a server requires. I used to own a Minecraft server of some 20-30 average players by the end of it, from 2012 to 2015. It was an amazing feeling, but very taxing. I could only do it while I was in junior high while my studies were not as demanding as they would later be. I still have videos from that server on my channel even though I haven't recorded anything in 8 years. I often think about starting it all again, but the amount of plugin configuration, constant striving for perfection, more content, interactions with players, it can get overwhelming and draining. Not to mention the update procedure from version to version. My server died after updating from 1.7 to 1.8, due to it being a much bigger jump, lots of new things were added and it wasn't as simple to upgrade. But at least memories remain. I even ended up writing a short book about all my doings back then, so that I can never forget it :)

I came to revisit your content to see if you were still uploading as you were my childhood. And I come across this video to have both so many memories of mineplex and how much you pleased my younger self, and its honestly making me tear up. Im glad your doing well man!

God I spent so many hours on mineplex around 2014-2016. A very big part of my childhood, Mineplex you shall be missed.

It’s not supposed to end like this😢

Something worth pointing out is that prior to this, we got absolutely nothing to celebrate the server's tenth birthday, and prior to the shutdown, no warning from our "friends," the owners, that this would be happening. I had no idea that when I logged on to claim my daily reward and sift through my missions a few days prior, that I'd never be doing so again. Regardless-rest in spaghetti, never forgetti.

The giant tree in the center, everything to find. It was incredible. They expanded their servers so much it took a while to find a match and I think that was a critical thing

I used to play this server so much and it was constantly full. I’m kinda shocked it’s shutting down :( RIP

I have not played minecraft unfortunately for a couple years… I’ve stayed updated though throughout 2017-2023 and would play if i could… Mineplex was a massive part of my childhood and a main server that helped me meet many friends and find myself as a person. I will forever be thankful to the creators and admins of the server and I surely will never forget it nor my time spent on it!

damn dude it is wild to sometimes see your vids pop up nowadays talking about historical minecraft stuff, i haven't watched you since before the TNT music video came out, so its just wild to see some stuff like this and great to see you still making content man

It's insane to think about how Wynncraft is still going strong after all this time with very rare updates and almost no big content creators making videos about it

Mineplex's was truly the blueprint for so much. So many hours spent on that server as a kid, especially on Death Tag or it's Christmas Event. So sad to hear its gone :( RIP Mineplex

Man, I haven't played on Mineplex in YEARS, but the Cap was the one who got me to play it. I was one of the kids who would get on and play hoping to MAYBE, just maybe see the Captain online at the same time as me, but alas. RIP Mineplex. You might not have been the best of the best, but you sure as heck were an important player for a lot of people.

Dude I remember genuinely having fun on that server YEARS ago. I miss those days. That was the first ever server I played on. And the most memories of any server I've EVER played on to this day. My older brothers who are both now in college played it in like 2013 - 2014 and that's the exact reason I started Minecraft. Was because of them and because of that server. I can't even tell you how much Mineplex meant to me back then and even now. I'm so sad to see it gone but I remember and cherish all of the amazing memories I made on it. R.I.P Mineplex you literally forever will always be my favorite Minecraft server. Hypixel is nice and all but Mineplex just makes me feel happy and carefree and cozy. I can't express how much I loved Mineplex and hearing it's gone is heartbreaking.

Almost cried hearing the news. The memories I had back in the today playing dragon escape with my online friends. Goodbye mineplex. 😢

Damn this really feels like my childhood has finally physically started dying… these news actually hurt, Mineplex has a special place in my heart! It’ll be forever missed, but sitting in a hall of fame!

You actually introduced me to mineplex. I will never forget you doing that iconic lava parkour in the lobby during your intros/outros. Spent so many hours on super smash mobs

I remember getting Minecraft and playing with my siblings on Mineplex. This hits really hard because this server was one of the first I played and now it’s gone.

I remember encountering hackers in almost every minigame back in 2018/2019, which made me lose interest really quickly. The captain’s hunger games videos were my childhood, and seeing the server being overrun with hackers really killed the vibe, which I believe contributed to this slow but inevitable downfall

I was super active in the Mineplex community up until around 2019. The biggest issue was lack of communication with upper management. There were severe issues with lack of communication and the owners seemed to become very very hands off after the EULA issue (treating it like just a source of passive income). I didn’t use to love Hypixel, but their commitment to frequent updates and amazing community engagement will keep them going into the future.

I personally find it very sad because of the great times I had on it many years ago, but if you were to log on near the last days you would have seen that it was unrecognizable from its heyday.

Rest in peace. I will forever miss the memories of Mineplex. You will always be in my and other people's hearts. Forever. You made me know about Mineplex. Hope other servers wont fall in not too long. They all will soon, not everything is infinite.

Mineplex was my childhood. I spent many hours playing on that server back in the 2014-2015 days. Many of my most popular videos on my legacy channel were Mineplex videos. It's been a fun time, but in reality, all good things must come to an end. R.I.P Mineplex. We will all miss you!

I was a mod on Mineplex from 2014-2016. Some great memories there. Sad to see it go. Still came back for Christmas Chaos every year.

I loved this server so much. I had made so many online friends during my time playing (2014-2020) and I would still log on every month or so until it finally went offline. it's a bittersweet thing, as I have an abundance of fond memories on the server, but i'm also glad the devs won't have to do any more unpaid work. the 5v5 pvp, dragon escape, block hunt, minestrike, skywars... so many memories all came flooding back to me watching this video. I also remember watching your videos constantly from a very young age jordan, and if i'm being honest, when i got older and even during quarantine, I would watch your videos as a source of comfort because they just have such a pleasant energy in my mind. I'll miss this server, I'll miss most of the things about it. If you're reading this and you played, thank you. -MrGetWrecked/Zoo_Wee_Mama

Tbh, I only really watch these talking vlogs now. Back in 2015, your SG videos got to Mineplex and eventually got me interested in Dominate, and from there my whole life path basically got changed. Crazy to see it go, but it was due for a while. Glad you were apart of getting it off the ground. Thank you

I always remember being happy to do the Halloween event, trying to get farther then I did last time, sometimes lagging but it was still fun, super smash mobs, survival games and much more, you will be missed Mineplex.

DUDE ive had so many memories on this server bro, this was literally my childhood server

Never really played mineplex, but those hunger games videos where what brought me to watch the captains videos in the first place which lead to years of happiness so it will always hold a place in my heart. crazy to think i was only 9 at the time and now im heading of to uni. I love how almost everyone that watches his videos r in the same boat aswell

I found out about Mineplex because of you, Captain. You created countless memories for me, so thank you. Mineplex will be missed. RIP. 2013-2023.

Not only was Mineplex my first and favorite server, it’s also mainly responsible for me still having the same online friend group since about 2016. Rip Mineplex, it seriously was the top tier server in its time

SO many mineplex minigames were so fun, and having a friend with titan rank who hosted private lobbies with a few of my friends were some of the best memories i have playing minecraft. Will forever remember wizards, dragon escape, microbattles, super paintball, and every other minigame. RIP MINEPLEX :(((

My god, looking back when I used to watch your hunger games videos (being 15 at the time) brought back so many memories. From time to time I would actually still watch a few, and remember when you stopped making them. Little did I know, one day I would just stop watching Minecraft videos and stop playing the game, after dedicating hours to watching videos and playing bridges, hunger games, and even turf wars. Time flies, enjoy it.

I remember watching a lot of your mineplex videos as they were coming out. I played on mineplex when it was at it’s peak. Sad to see it go, but it’s been on a long decline for a while.

Shoutout to Speed Builders, Bridges, all of the Mixed Arcade games, and the rest of the games. It was the first server that I really played and I’m going to miss it forever

I can't recall playing in Mineplex, so I don't have much to share on this topic. I feel bad to see so many people lose a server they loved back in the days. But I do have something I'd like to share: it's killing me how this kind of thumbnail (Captain with the green screen behind) had become kinda of iconic? It started off as bad news, then the first video did so well that he followed up with the same format, and now to me it just means... Captain has something to share? Could be anything, news related to Minecraft, or his life, or his videos. It's sort of like a short podcast episode to listen to and absorb random bits of knowledge? Which is why I get drawn to these so much more... anyway, thank you for keeping us updated, and for playing Minecraft ^w^ keep it up!

Wanted to say thank you to you Jordan! You were not only the first person I watched on RU-vid in 2014, but the first person I ever saw playing on Mineplex. I will forever cherish the memories I have from watching your videos and playing on this server with my friends and family.

this is so wild, i can't even believe it honestly. it's been a long run and I'm honestly so sad to see it over

some of the best memories were made on mineplex. it will be missed.

side note i do love these type of videos from jordan i still remember the old days and love them but i also still love these aswell; great vid

Your hunger games videos back in the day are legit what i watched as a kid. Being almost 27 now and hearing this is taking me back.

I'll never forget climbing that giant tree, the double jump in lobby, castle siege, factions, SG, and Mineplex's blockhunt hiding spots

Damn. I bought all the ranks on Mineplex and made so many memories playing all those minigames. RIP to such a huge part of my childhood.

Man I'm gonna miss this server.

This is heartbreaking. I have so many good memories associated with Mineplex, and now they are just gone…. I remember playing it with my friends on a phone bedrock edition. It was so fun playing bed wars or cake wars with friends. R.I.P Mineplex, you will be always in my heart. I hope you will comeback someday…. 😢

I remember discovering Mineplex through your channel and thinking you were the owner of it. Named it something like "CaptainSparklez" on my server list. Used to play it all the time and was pretty much what I played every day on Minecraft for a long time. Gone but never forgotten. 😔

haven't played on it recently but spent a lot of time on it years ago so this is sad to hear, RIP Mineplex

As soon as I heard the news, I came right to the channel, I knew you’d pay tribute to it in some way shape or form, thank you man. A lot of us grew up watching you play on that server.

I met my partner and some of my best friends through Mineplex in 2014. It was major, peak Minecraft fangirl phase for me. A bunch of us girls had the “female” version of Parker’s skin at the time and we were all trying to find him in lobby after he tweeted that he would be online. We never found Parker, but we did all find each other and started a Skype call since we all had those skins. One girl introduced me to her cousin, who I’ve now been dating since 2019. Fundamentally, my life would be so different if it weren’t for this server. It’s tough seeing it shut down, especially with no warning. Our group of friends personally stopped playing for a couple years as we got older and went through high school. But we have since come back to playing MC regularly and migrated from Mineplex to Hypixel simply because the server was so dead, we’d spend forever waiting in lobby for a game to get barely enough players to start. It was sad. Mineplex will certainly be missed. I can’t deny the sheer number of memories and friends that server has given me. And imagining my life right now without happening to find that group of gals and being connected with different people through that server is CRAZYYYY. Anyways, thanks for the update and thoughts, Cap. I remember watching your Mineplex vids all the time. Definitely a true closing of an era.

I woke up to this at 5am, couldn’t sleep again, checked my phone at 6 and saw this, I can only say that Mineplex was a server where many thousands including me played on that server. RIP mineplex 2013-2023, you had a good run :(

WERE GONNA MISS YOU MATE! MANY GREAT MEMORIES MADE ON THAT SERVER!

in response to what you said at 10:43 in the video, yeah. In 2014 I found your video about mineplex and tried the server out. The time I spent for the following 4-5 years there was honestly priceless. I was able to discover a place that became a core element of my childhood for quite a while, and I am really grateful for that.

Just before the death of Mineplex, me and a long-time friend (Miggle) who have been playing Mineplex ever since 2014 decided to revisit the server we once loved. Seeing the playercount of 200 felt... surreal. It felt like just yesterday that Mineplex was topping Hypixel on the every Minecraft server list website. Attempting to join lobbies of Super Smash Mobs, Micro Battles, Death Tag, Block Hunt, or even Skywars only brought us to a ghost town where we could choose our kits and wait. Very few games were still populated and it was rare to find a full match. It's sad to see our favorite server go after all the memories we've made like playing Christmas chaos and Halloween horror for the first time, watching the builders make giant structures in Lobby 1, typing "GG" in the chat after someone received ULTRA rank from a mythical treasure, Witnessing the destroyed and regrown Mineplex hub tree, and grinding for emeralds to buy every kit. But things have changed. Similar to The Hive, WoodyCraft, and ArkhamNetwork, we knew its inevitable fate would come shortly. After all these years, it finally happened. Today marks the death of arguably Minecraft's best server. Thanks to everyone who made the sever great. Goodbye Mineplex. @miggle1654

Phew. Thanks to your introduction back then, Mineplex became a bit of an escape after school in 2014-15. And I'd continued playing on it afterward. It definitely became a good chunk of my Minecraft experience. My tag's GuardianGarrett. I almost exclusively played Block Hunt and loved it. For a minigame it was oddly competitive, toxic even with how seriously the hiders would take games and how much pride was involved, but I loved playing as a Hunter. That and just hanging around on the server was nice. I'd even desired to become a Trainee and Mod at one point, but didn't end up following through. I did play some last year, but it became harder and harder to find games. I'm not surprised it's finally closing down. Due to tech stuff beyond my understanding I hadn't been able to hop on recently. Wish I'd managed to get a final game or two in. Thanks for the fun o7

I used to play on mineplex a ton from like 2014-2016 so even though I haven't played on it in years this is still sad to hear that they're shutting down.

Somebody really needs to reimplement some of the games that mineplex had, especially Block Hunt, Bridges, Dragon Escape, etc. The thing about Mineplex that I always liked was that many of their games felt a lot smoother than Hypixel's, and their take on Block Hunt was insanely fun to play, and unfortunately there's now no servers that I know of that have anything that really matches it.

I used to play Mineplex so much and I’ve gone back on every so often and it was always sad to see how little people were playing it

damn thats kinda sad, but honestly not unexpected. i remember watching your videos and tons of other youtubers playing minigames on this server (especially hunger games) as a child wishing i could play minecraft myself. core memories back then but im glad i lived through the peak of minecraft and minecraft content, at least in my opinion.

So much great memories on Mineplex. It was a huge part for me growing up. RIP Mineplex

So many memories playing on Mineplex. I had so many cosmetics and ranks. My friends and I would play like every day for many years. RIP Mineplex.

I have to agree with you on this, "Mineplex" was a major impact on my life throughout my childhood and I am glad to see it impacted just as many people as I thought it might, this game has had negative impacts on some bugs, yet nothing the staff couldn't fix within a day, the first time I saw the servers down I figured they were just resetting the server to fix some again, (like every week) Then when I saw the post I got a little sad and disappointed, we all knew this was coming, thank you Mineplex and the community for making this game a fun, compassionate, exciting, thrilling, competitive game, my favorite thing about Mineplex could have been clans or DOM, it was sad to see CTF go down nearly 3 years after the release BUT was great, I hope this finds the staff well as I would like to acknowledge their hard grateful and respected work. I am very grateful and in debt for your help...

It's so interesting to see a dude my age talk about Minecraft. Looking it up on youtube, reddit, wherever seems like a totally different world these days. I saw this and your video on MrBeast talking about how much you made back in the day and it's nice to hear about things from your perspective. Appreciate it mate.

I was so sad seeing part of my childhood shut down permanently. Rest in peace Mineplex 💯🙏

Wow I did not expect to see this. I didn't really play on Mineplex, but it's definitely sad to see it go. Especially without any announcement. I remember seeing videos of people playing on Mineplex years ago. R.I.P. Mineplex, you will be missed.

Welp. There goes the server I frequented the most from 2013-2016. I'm glad I actually got to play that Sheep Quest gamemode back when it was new, with you! (I was freaking out so badly when I saw you in the lobby I joined by following one of the then-owners.) Big F for Mineplex. Thanks for the memories.

I haven't thought about that server for years now but watching this brought back so many childhood memories playing it with my brothers damn

That was crazy. It must have been a week ago I was playing in that server. You will be missed! ❤

Goodbye, Mineplex. We will miss you.. 2013-2023

Reminded of an old memory of me being a kid just hoping onto the server and finding new buddies, plsying death runs with them... Thide memories, RIP mineplex

rip mineplex.. it’s always so sad to go back on the older servers I used to frequent where the user base were higher than they are now and see that the things I used to play are just gone and that there’s barely anyone to play with… sure there are big servers that have most of the mini games and even more but some things were just so much more well known on mineplex and other servers. 2013/2014 was such a good time for me personally and mineplex was a big part of that especially with friends. was a good run man and nothing beat tuning in to a new survival games video from captain after school

Damn so many memories.

End of an era.

I remember being in a villager morph and throwing emeralds at people, and they rushed for them like crazy.

I sadly dont remember a lot from the server, I did have some memories from playing with very old friends, sadly those memories are fading too. Rip, Mineplex, I don't remember you quite well, but I know i had fun playing back in the day. Rest easy

I remember when I was younger I would spend hours trying to complete all their hard parkour courses and rage. Good times. RIP mineplex.

The end of an era. Rest In Peace mineplex 2013-2023

Yet another legend fading. Reminds me of ye olde minecraft days, playing one in the quiver with my buddies. May you find rest in the afterlife with dwarves vs zombies.

Favorite game mode on mineplex for me was clans! They only had the game mode for a year or two but man it mimicked factions so well.

MinePlex is revived

Mineplex was the GOTO server for me and my old homies back in the day. It was some of the most fun I've ever had, by far the best game modes in any minecraft server. RIP The Legendary Server

Crazy to see how it all unfolded, an enormous amount of memories from everyone I've talked to. Sucks to see happen, but RIP

Man, I'm gonna miss Mineplex, it was the server id always play on back when i first got into minecraft and when i got my first computer at like 11 or 12 the first thing i did was download minecraft and hopped on Mineplex, but yeah, I haven't really played Mineplex since at least 2016 or before, kind of stopped playing minecraft as a whole then aside from the occasional vanilla server with friends

Man I can't believe it's really gone. May it rest in peace. We will miss you Mineplex.
