  • I hadn't worked with Mineplex in many years, but it was one of the Minecraft servers I was most involved with in my time on UA-cam so I figured I'd discuss.

    I know this is going to be buried, but I just wanted to say you were the first UA-camr 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.

      It’s a shame the owners couldn’t have been replaced. Mineplex was the last decent minigame server out there. Hypixel is full of people who take the games way too seriously and makes casual playing pretty much impossible. That was never an issue over my many years of playing on Mineplex up until even last week I was on.
      It’s a shame. The optimist in myself wants to believe that this even will cause an ownership change and maybe the server will relaunch but that’s just speculation.
      There’s also just the fact that Minigames aren’t as popular on Java edition as they once were unfortunately. Personally I think that’s because players have made them so competitive.
      It was a fun ride. RIP Mineplex, 2013 (2014 when I got Java edition and started playing) - 2023. You were great.

They fell because they couldn't keep up with the players, the cheaters were everywhere and they didn't have a dev team big enough to keep every minigame updated. Also their staff (mods and helpers) were kids... It's not a good ideea to give power to random kids on such a big server, cause there are a lot of fair players but there will always be a few who will make problems, especially around 14-16 years.

    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 :)

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?

    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!

    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

    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.

    @Multigameguy35 11 місяців тому

    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

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.

I ended up watching the playerbase dwindle, and even I stopped coming to the server after 2020. A very well-known server, especially one as popular as Mineplex, did not deserve to wither like this.
