  • Mineplex was once the biggest minecraft server there was. Dominating the minecraft minigame scene, breaking player count records, and forever in the memories of its players. A couple days ago now though, mineplex abruptly shut down. What really went wrong, with the once king of minecraft servers?

    I remember coming home everyday in middle school to play mineplex and all types of servers with my friends, now everytime I log into the game it just feels like all multiplayer servers are a husk of their formerselves (except hypixel), and all original and unique servers managed to kill themselves off with terrible forced changes or inside drama, its really sad to see, hopefully hytale can provide us with a new season of fresh minecraft-like servers and projects, to me it just feels like MC multiplayer is only going down unless you are hypixel.

As a former admin and literal day 1 player I can't tell you how sad it was to leave. I'm so happy to have at least gotten Clans out to that community.
    Mineplex was over 10 years of my life, where I started. It deserves so much more.

    This video really hits me with a wave of nostalgia. Back in 2014, I used to rush home after school, brimming with excitement, just to dive into the world of Mineplex with my three best friends. We would spend a good 5-6 hours each day immersed in the game, taking turns hosting our gaming sessions at each other's houses. Whether it was conquering Mineplex together or peacefully building in our own Minecraft world, we shared countless unforgettable moments. Ah, those were the days. (And yes, I must admit, there might be a few tears streaming down my face as I write this comment.)

      @@Caroban Let's not forget that MisterEpic is still a UA-camr with over 500K subscribers. These kinda details are usually enough to win children's hearts over or whatever, like the fact he had that server above his own in the server list just makes them think, WOW, this meant SUCH a LOT to him. There's always a reason why a channel like this has a wide audience, whether their videos attract people for details like that and/or other reasons, and this may just be a coincidence or he actually does think this way about this server. What I'm trying to say is to not forget that a UA-camr probably knows all the tricks to manipulate you in ways you wouldn't even realize. No idea how likely this is in MisterEpic's case but I wouldn't be surprised since many channels do these things nowadays.

It made me realize that I couldn’t just brute force my way through moderating it, especially with a big collaboration on the way. So if you could, tell gyroninja I said thank you for saying the words I needed most right now.

Growing up and revisiting the holiday games and seeing the updates broke my heart, the Christmas game went from lobby's of up to 30 players per to only 8 player max, Halloween game was simply gone, and seeing the lobby the same as it was years ago, untouched.

I know how you guys feel bc I was there when they shut down the servers for all of the halo games that Bungie made, and it is truly unfortunate. The fact that the owners just left the fans in the dark like that is literally fucked up, cuz at least we halo fans were informed on our servers shutdown. Seriously tho, that's just messed up for them to shutdown servers like that.

    This is absolutely tragic. Heartbreaking, even.
    I joined Mineplex when it was a young server, copying many aspects of Minecade and other larger servers. I loved playing MineKart, their old Mario Kart lookalike, and would come home from middle school and log on everyday. As a shy middle school student, I found so much joy and friendship on the server. Over the years, I probably logged over 50 days of time in the server, playing Super Smash Mobs, Wizards, Survival Games, Champions, or just hanging out.
    I'm in college now and haven't touched Mineplex or Minecraft in something like four years. However, I would have loaded the game back up to log back into the server one last time.

I played that when I was 13. Looking back now as a 20 year old and knowing that has happened makes me feel so sad.

    Man the 2013 bettermc looked like so much fun. I started on Mineplex clans but when it died in 2018 I stopped playing mc until BattleAU rebooted clans during the summer of 2020. They renamed themselves to Betterpvp and although they had both Americans and aussies, I thoroughly enjoyed playing with aussies more than Americans. I love your guys's accents and how you all have no filter haha. That was a really fun summer and a good way to escape the ravaging Covid-19 at the time. Unfortunately it died after 3 seasons but it was fun while it lasted. It rekindled a relationship with a good friend I met on mineplex clans and we made many fond memories on Betterpvp.

    It was really nice seeing those clips at the end. Took me back to my own memories of playing Mineplex when I was a kid.

    I remember having a lot of fun with Castle Siege. No other server that I was aware of had anything like it.
    Minigames like Bomb Lobbers and Paintball were a lot of fun too, and I liked their version of Paintball a lot better than Hypixel's.
    But over time it became hard to get a full lobby for Castle Siege and they eventually took it down altogether.
    Hopefully the new server will implement a game mode along the lines of Castle Siege.

    Mineplex is seriously one of the most historical servers ever. Heck even technoblade’s first video was ON MINEPLEX’s OWNER, DEFEK. It’s so crazy and insane that the community was not able to do anything to help the server…
    I just wish it got a better fate

    I remember playing mineplex when a small streamer was playing it and I spammed “$20 paypal if you let the streamer win” and got perm muted

    I can only wish the Plexverse staff luck, I hope Plexverse does well in the future!
    It feels like yesterday I was playing Mineplex skywars, good times… 😢
