Back to Blocktopia
First of all, we would like to say that we are very happy with how the name change has played out. It seems all of our players are very happy with it, it has gone smoothly, and it fits perfectly within our community. We finally escaped the restart. Welcome back Blocktopia!
Partnering with Styropyro
Partnering with Styropyro has been a great success. It has given us many new players joining the server, some staying for a short time, but others staying as active players. We have been lacking new players on our servers for many years now, so while it's always great to see friends you haven't seen in years joining again, we are very happy with the people from Styropyro joining. Welcome everyone!
We have a new Community Admin now!
Massive congratulations to Rune, for his promotion to CA! Don’t worry, Comp is not resigning, but we’re sure he will appreciate the help with running things. Best of luck to Rune, we look forward to great things from you!
Historians needed!
As everyone hopefully knows, we have a deep and extensive history; intertwined with Minecraft's development (we are the oldest Minecraft community after all). I'm currently looking out for historians to update our history section and to find some lost images which were originally uploaded to our history. Please contact Rune for any information, as he will be setting up a google docs for collaboration.

Survival Multiplayer
The new SMP was released on the 6th of July 2024 and has had great reception amongst the community. We are really happy with the player numbers and hope that players are happy with how the SMP is being run! We would like to thank Comp_ and Rune for their hard work developing the server and to the staff team for helping things run smoothly!
With that we’d like to talk a bit about the changes that have been made since release.
We are very happy with how the Hostile/Peaceful system has been working out, and honestly rather surprised that most times you will see that half of the players online are hostile! This seems to have been a good solution to giving people the opportunity to play in the way they would like.
The map has been extended to a total of 15 000 x 15 000 blocks now, if you haven't already, go explore!
The Hostile/Peaceful system made it obvious that we had to rework our rule system a bit. Mainly that peaceful players should obviously not be allowed to steal from Hostile players that can’t kill them.. Also after some discussion we have decided to make griefing against the rules. Some more clarifications on rules will be added shortly. Thanks to Danni for working them out!
Future updates:
Player shops:
We are currently working on adding player shops, there are currently not that many plugins that are updated to 1.21 yet, but we are looking into if we can get playershops added as soon as possible.
Economy:
The economy has been in its current state since the release of the server. As players progress through the game, their items, and their ability to farm items changes dramatically. There will within the next weeks be some changes to the economy, it should not affect your current stock prices or bank accounts, but other than that we will come back with more information later
Suggestions and requests from the community:
- More ways to spend money for players with the max rank
- /money top command
- Mailbox plugin to send/receive mail when offline
- Plugin which resets trial chamber cooldowns for players periodically
- Armored Elytra
- Acrobatics skill
- Clan/Claim tags (Kingdom tags?)
- Increased entity distance (Issues with ghasts, PVP, and killing mobs with bows)
- Geyser (adding cross-platform playability so bedrock users can also join)
Any other suggestions?
Staff changes:
We are adding the rank VetOp to the server.
A VetOp is a Veteran Moderator that has proven that they are experienced, mature, and interested enough in helping the server, to get promoted to a higher rank.
This rank has more permission than your general moderator, and is entrusted with higher levels of responsibility.
Promotions:
Danni122112 has been promoted to Moderator, Congratulations!
mijomo has been promoted to VetOp, Congratulations!

Army of Darkness
The release of Army of Darkness has gone quite well! Many thanks to Comp for making it possible (or rather, for making the entire server). We saw great player numbers during Easter, hitting more than 20 several times! It was amazing to see so many old faces again, some that we hadn't seen in years. Although the server has often been empty, it's amazing to see that when someone joins it fills up, hitting up to 20 just this week!
So, if you see the server empty and want to play, hit up some people online, or send people a message on discord. You’d be surprised how many would like to join as long as there are others on.
Also for those that were unaware, there are now two new game modes: Blockrush and Arrow Wars!

Create
Create will be offline for the foreseeable future to free up resources for SMP. Sorry for the convenience this may cause.
We intend to give Create a proper overhaul before it comes back online.
