Mineplex was my favorite server in 2016. I played Housing to relax and liked that people could join and see. But then, the gamemode started falling apart. My builds were completely deleted for no reason, the private filter didn't work, and I was kicked from the server almost every 5 minutes. I log on years later, and all of my builds are gone. It's so sad to see them ignore everything and keep running like nothing's wrong.

As someone who was a senior moderator on mineplex for many years, I can say with certainty that part of the reason the server failed was because the administration did not listen to the community.

I never knew Mineplex was dying (in Java) as I quit it after some time. I feel like many of us here might have too. Honestly, it was one of the most fun servers I have ever played. Sure, there might have been some toxicity, but it was tolerable. Some of you might disagree in the comments. It does, slightly hurt, to see one of my favorites fall from its throne. I couldn't dare to say "it was just a game", since many, many memories were made for me. R.I.P. Mineplex. Happy Holidays, and Merry Christmas (for those who are celebrating it right now) to all.

[@RariaRoyal]

Yeah kinda same, I found out it was dead when I tried to log in and it only has few hundred players and barely any games the hub was dead and wayyyy smaller then it used to be. And I tried playing a few games but no one joined and I just called it quits.

[@simonmarcu01]

I quit mostly because of hackers, who were in turn killing the community and most of the fun mini games that I liked were starting to close because of lack of players. It was just an unfortunate domino effect starting from poor management.

As a former Mineplex Mod, I felt like there was a huge disconnect between leadership (owners & devs) and the rest of the staff team. Mineplex also failed to innovate or if they did get creative with a game it would be left to die.

[@pacerqil]

Mineplex is only still hosted right now because it’s somehow self-sustaining. Every owner for the last 6-7 years haven’t even played minecraft because they’re all investors, and if the server sustains itself when they genuinely don’t have to do anything, the incentive to just let it kick the can down the road until it finally dies off is there. It’s more or less been like that since the EULA changes in 2014, but exacerbated when the last Owner who ever cared left in 2017. I think this is by far the biggest reason for its slow death

I was introduced to Mineplex in 2013 on Java. Never played it too seriously, just for fun. In like 2015 or 2016 I stopped playing minecraft. It wasn’t until 2018 I picked it back up on accident when I saw Mineplex was available to play on xbox. It was nostalgic and a lot of fun. I got into one of their games called Cake Wars on Bedrock. I grinded for a leaderboard spot and got to know players. Eventually started a youtube channel and was having fun there. In 2020 some serious Mineplex drama went down (in which I was apart of and was a main informant on the MisterEpic video). I actually ended up network banned/permanently banned from the server because of my involvement. I eventually appealed and came back in December of 2020. When I got back I was really only motivated to get YT rank. It took me a almost year despite meeting the requirements every time just to get accepted. All throughout this time Mineplex was always super terrible at communicating. They never spoke with the community. They never went out of their way to hire more bedrock developers despite me knowing people who applied for the position. They said they were looking, and there are screenshots. But they never hired help for the single bedrock dev. The server is a 💩 show. No true update since July of 2021. The Mineplex Staff are not the ones to blame however. I have friends in there and I know that they work their butt off. The problem is that they don’t get the support from leadership roles (Admins, and Owners). Currently Bedrock staff can’t ban for reach hacks on the server. It’s hilarious how bad it is for bedrock nowdays. Usually around the holidays they release a themed update. They recycled the same one from 3 years ago for the past couple years for Halloween, and Christmas. Unfortunately this year we never got a Christmas update. Nothing. They are a mess. There is so much more drama that could be talked about but there’s no point. The server is not going to EVER comeback. I hope it burns to the ground. They do not care about their product or the players who play. It’s a business afterall, and even though Mineplex is dead. They are still making a ton of money off of the young playerbase on bedrock who buy ranks and their skin packs and so long. The income is still there, but they choose not to fix anything. I mean, who could blame the greedy owners? If you were making money without doing much. Would you change? Lol, it’s just a joke at this point. There are still loyal players on Mineplex and I just tell them the same thing. Mineplex will never learn, and they refuse to change. Enough said (:

I've been playing PE/Bedrock Mineplex since the week it released. I have fond memories of the server and still play it but it feels like since 2019 there's been a huge neglect of the community and being lied to over and over about updates that are coming "soon". We got a grand total of 1 content update in 2022 and it was just some new maps for a few games. You know a server is going bad when a player (me) has tracked and updated the player stats that are available in Google Sheets for the past 3 years because Mineplex removed the perfectly functional in game stats system for no reason in 2017. Really don't know how much longer it has. I feel like I'm yelling at a wall when I try and voice frustrations to this server.

[@FoxGaal]

they wont even ban blatant boosters or do anything about changing the rules ;-; (even if the people openly admit to doing stuff like this).

I spent a huge chunk of my childhood and teenage years on this server. The memories I made on mineplex are countless and priceless. There must have been hundreds of late nights with friends on mineplex. We all knew that server like a second home, it was a part of our lives. My generation was the first generation to be raised alongside the internet, and we rarely hung out outside. We didn’t have many opportunities to play outside or ride our bikes around the neighborhood. Outside of school it was a very insular life and it was like this for most of the people I grew up with. For a generation raised indoors, mineplex served as our social hub. It was our own little world that we had to experience. Every night we played was a new adventure filled with laughs, excitement, rage, and joy. Mineplex was so foundational to our lives that we all assumed it would last forever. At one point in time the server was so full that it was actually difficult to get online. We all thought mineplex was far too popular to ever die. I know getting this poetic about a Minecraft server seems silly, but mineplex really meant a lot to me; It meant a lot to all of the people I grew up with.

[@manspider7445]

Well said. Interestingly in the server chart at 3:10, the server Mc-Wars, is a server I used to play on that is also now defunct. The community is still in touch though. But I basically grew up on that server, and the online friends I made were like my siblings at times.

Bridges was one of my favorites for years and I even became Helper Staff on the server around 2013-2014. Because I Mineplex I made a handful of friends that I’m still close to to this day!

Mineplex was my main haunt back in the day. I had made a good few friends on there, spent many long nights howling over Sheep Quest and failing spectacularly at Survival Games. I was a Master at Wizards. It wasn't their most popular mini game at all, but it had a small community and it was so interesting. A custom texture pack that made the spells look so awesome; at least 12 different spells, each with custom game effects and animations; great maps that never got old; strategies you'd form and execute and adapt. Wizards eventually needed to be worked on to play on a game update and it was never fixed. Eventually it was removed from the server. Then Sheep Quest lobbies were so small you could never get a game going. Then Sheep Quest was removed. I happened to want to go check out Mineplex the other day out of nostalgia and learned that it had died. It's sad to think about. It was such a big part of my life for so long and now it's just gone. Crazy how time works!

Aged like fine wine. I was a Sr. Moderator from ‘14 to ‘16. I left roughly right after it’s peak. Looking back you pretty much nailed major points. They lacked creativity, vision, and could not create a good anti cheat plugin. However, from a former staff perspective the Ownership was pitiful when Chiss left. There was such a disconnect and because of that nothing major could get done since they mainly had access to the server files. No new content? You’ll lose players.

[@burntpato9760]

Before I watch the video. I will comment this: back when I played Minecraft, Mineplex was my favourite server. I particularly loved Dragons, so it was a massive shame for me when it was taken out of the free, public Mineplex server along with dozens of other games which I'm sure people loved. That particularly made me lose my taste for the server and I stopped playing it as much and moved to Hypixel which had better games, better moderation and less cheaters. I also loved Turf Wars and Survival Games, and that kept me coming back to Mineplex, but I slowly watched as cheaters took over these games with no anticheat in sight and a small, overworked moderation team. The cheaters, in the end, completely ruined Mineplex to me. As aforementioned, Hypixel had a working anticheat, so cheaters were barely an issue which made it so much easier and better to play. The removal of my favourite games and the influx of cheaters is what ruined Mineplex for me.

[@_TheDoctor]

I have fond memories of grinding away at Super Smash Mobs with my old best friend from elementary school. We mained the skeleton, as it was arguably the best class to play if you mastered it, able to handle basically anything thrown at it. The lobby was also one of my favorites. I'm now working my life away at the age of 22. Sad to see it come to this.

[@jayjayfex]

Towards the end of Mineplex’s relevance in Console edition, I used to be among the top 7-8 in the Skywars solo leaderboard. I was even talking to the #2 player on a semi regular basis. I was fortunate enough to run into a newly added moderator in a lobby and started to keep contact with him through Xbox chat. I would help report the tons of blatant hackers in my games. He would appear in my matches invisibly, spectate, then ban. This went on for a while until one day my moderator contact broke the news to me that he was removed as a mod. One of the other mods was cracking an idle joke in the Staff chat apparently and was reprimanded for It. When my contact got involved and kinda stood up for them, he was demoted along with everyone else who was in the boat. Turns out there was a change of management and they were eager to flush out the old staff, willing to use any excuse they can get their hands on. :/

I met my boyfriend on Mineplex years ago, it was the gamemode Death Tag. There was a spot where you could hide in a tree by completing a 4 block jump off a roof. When i finally made the jump, He was sitting there crouched. I joined him in the spot, and we won the game. We decided to keep playing together after that, staying on Mineplex and playing mini games for hours after school this was around 2015. We played everything on Mineplex, and then went on to play on other servers. From Survival Games to Factions to Pixelmon. We kept communication, even found out we lived on opposite sides on the country lol. But that didnt stop us. We kept playing video games together throughout the years into adulthood, where we finally decided to make our relationship official. It will be 3 years in April, and we plan on moving in together soon. So even though there is some controversy around Mineplex, I have to thank them, for allowing me to find my soulmate.

With the realization of Microsoft also taking over Mojang Studios and the upcoming changes to the EULA of removing pay to win made business harder and thus more toxic, higher-ups were less concerned with the bugs than the potential monetary gain that's the difference with Hypixel, Mineplex was always a business to make money and nothing but money, Hypixel is a user-entertainment-orientated business always focusing on the enjoyment of the player to keep players coming back and happy where paying is optional for cool cosmetics. The difference is paramount. Hypixel sees players, Mineplex sees dollars.

having the 2013 pumpkin king morph feels like a relic

[@HaricleYT]

As someone who use to play mineplex sg a lot back in the summer a few years ago, it sucks a lot that mineplex died

[@ItzMrVinzzzHD]

This is so nostalgic for me lol I was a builder for Mineplex - seeing some of my maps in this video

[@epsilonthedragon1249]

Tried to log on for the first time in forever to play some Speed Builders. Instead, spent my time reminiscing with other players and almost crying. We finally did get the game to work after an hour of talking and trying servers, but we only got one round before the game started kicking us every time we’d play I don’t know where else I can play Speed Builders and now I’m sad

[@_M_643]

I used to play a minigame I really liked there. I'm not sure if people remember it. It was called evolution. The goal was to fight and evolve as different mobs. I loved that minigame.

[@KudaXD]

nice video once again :)

[@superpacman256]

On 5:17, it shows the old 360 edition screen despite the fact that it is closer to Java than bedrock.

[@hin0te190]

its sad seeing the state of the once great mineplex server. I still remember when the server had shit tons of players and you could play any game whenever because there were so many players. apart of me still finds it hard to accept the fact i'll never experience that joy on mineplex ever again and im sad other new players wont be able to experience the joy i had while playing all those years ago.

[@TheSofaBearKing1]

Hate to see it. Played the hell outta that server in 2014/15 with school friends. Mainly played bridges and even got all the of the kits. Except for the achievement kit; never figure out how to get that one. RIP Mineplex

[@hughburda4490]

You can tell the staff doesn’t care when the Valentines theme lobby is still around after St. Patrick’s day

[@benhicksbass]

Castle Siege, Bridges, Champions CTF/Domination, Turf Wars, Super Paintball, Super Smash Mobs, Micro Battles, Hide and Seek, Block Hunt, Draw My Thing, Master Builders, Minestrike. Man there were just so many amazing game modes back in the day, and I watched the server just go down in the toilet. Super depressing, but from what I've heard, the server just refused to listen to the community and that tends to cause people to stop playing.

[@iamasink]

I just wanna say thank you for adding subtitles :)

[@mcbyt]

of course, always :)

[@l0rd_grim340]

Yeh Mineplex bridges was fun few years back. This was good I was wondering what happened to the Srw. Also nice Survival spawn at 5:38

[@rzbOwO]

They removed "Dragons" my favorite minigame ever, at that moment they were dead to me.

[@Apeman_king_of_apes]

I haven't been playing multiplayer Minecraft servers for years, and had no clue Mineplex was such a ghosttown... I mean, i stopped playing it since they removed Castle Siege (absolutely the best minigame ever!) but damn... And watching the popularity chart you showed earlier in the video and seeing Lichcraft pop up on there... And there are others too that have fallen by the wayside in the past years too. GotPVP, ObsidianPrison, Arkham... so sad to see them all go.

[@LostEngineProductions]

Honestly, the only reason i keep Mineplex on my server list is for the Death Run and even that rarely has enough players. idk what im doing

[@rokoderechte]

Damn I remember a friend show me these servers. And the first server he showed me was mineplex, bc it was the biggest.. its kinda sad to see all these servers go down, but maybe its a thing we have to grow out of finally as we get older

[@bbg4566]

Before I switched to Java I used to play bedrock mineplex as hypixel didn’t have a PlayStation server, the mineplex servers are so incredibly laggy and I found so many others saying that, the server barely runs at best and is filled with so many purchases it feels like a mobile game. Another thing that ticked me the wrong way was how if you searched for lag online or tried to ask mineplex about the lag they would insist that it was not their servers issue but your connection, despite everybody seeming to have the same issue.

[@itzdave1249]

I am pretty nostalgic player. I remember the best year for Minecraft! 2016 was the Golden year for Servers! it is sad that people just go outside to touch grass, than just play the game.

[@copilopi3104]

It’s so wild to me that it’s ended, like out of nowhere as well, I played it like a few weeks ago and now it’s gone randomly. It’ll always be a part of my childhood

[@bobbybrine6547]

I remember I got banned for a few years for reporting a scam in the chat, I told people to not click the link in the text chat because it was a scam that I fell for before and they banned me for multiple years and even after the ban was up, I couldn't even type for another one. I grew out of minecraft a little after so I didn't really care, but it sucks that they don't care about ban appeals

[@DoctorWasabi]

I had no idea mine plex had such a complex history! Great video man, on a side note I can safely say that just build is a source of degeneracy on most featured servers on bedrock lmao

[@SearingAstra]

I've been a Mineplex Ayer since the server first opened. It sucks to see what's happened to it. I have so many memories there.

[@lieutenantmeatball5590]

Played so much block hunt in middle school. After a 5-year hiatus from Minecraft due to firmware issues, I joined back, but the maps weren’t the same. They could’ve just added them to what already existed, but instead it seemed that they straight up deleted the original maps. It felt too different from what I was used to so I quit the server.

[@Otakuey]

I was considered one of the small youtubers on Mineplex's Minestrike (before CS was free) for quite a while. The EU servers never have a full lobby and the US often only have 1. It used to be the most popular game on there and imo still is more satisfying than Hypixel's counterpart game. I also played Turf Wars quite a bit but Minestrike got more views for obvious reasons. Minestrike died a dogs death. Communication and arrogance being what killed it off. Issues such as ghosting, abuse of the mechanics and nade exploits brought it down from its height as people realised that the people at the top did not care. No issues brought up in the community were fixed, skins being the only update that mattered to them. The issues that plagued the server overall made them lose the community at large, and the game specific problems spat in the face of those who were die-hard fans of these games. Like you said, bugs were a particular problem, but the absolute lack of sincerity towards the users playing the games in the first place made me (and many others) simply quit. It's sad when I look at the time since last activity on those friends I made on both games. I wish I could say it was fun while it lasted, but Mineplex was a draining experience. I don't even think there will be anything quite like the buggy but very particular feeling games on Mineplex again. It was quite a unique experience that created memories even if my old computer could only record it all at 30fps haha

[@Miclee]

I remember when Mineplex offered me NFTs to play and advertise their server when they started the NFT stuff lol. . .

[@Femboylover33]

Damn

[@unknown_user7]

It really sucks man, that server was my whole childhood. I was there from the start in 2013 when I was 8, and it sucks how Mineplex died like that :/ so much nostalgia bruh. castle siege, bacon brawl, bridges, survival games, death tag, spleef, snake, sneaky assassins, and so much more :/ my favorite time of the year was always halloween bc they’d bring out that pumpkin king game & I remember when Carl the creeper was first introduced. exploring the lobby and finding hidden places were always so much fun, and also players scrambling to find the treasure parties that others would throw.. lol I remember when everyone hated when they changed it to shards. it was always great to hear music playing in the lobby from the jukebox. players would be fighting to open their treasure chests. it was very cool seeing all the other gadgets that players had such as when they’d have that full set of leather armor that changed colors. and the parkour was always fun. and also going up the mineplex tree, it was all sm fun. checking my stats and being extremely happy to see I have achieved something. and all the popular youtubers that would visit the server too, I really miss it along with other servers. I was jamming to Minecraft parodies with my neighborhood friends n shit. :/ I def knew Mineplex was declining when I literally had no more use for my gems except morphing into a villager & throwing it at ppl in the lobby. lol the last time I was on there, I was flesh hooking ppl into the void while they waiting for the gladiators game. it was the funniest thing ever & it annoyed tf outta ppl. as of now, it’s cool to go on there to chat with whoever’s on cuz it’s a really great community & you can have really awesome conversations. But It’s also sad going on there to see ur friends list, which would say they were all last seen like 2988 days ago or more :/ I’m 17 now, in my senior year. damn I miss my childhood

[@vizizm]

I remember playing mineplex as a kid but damn I didn't know this happened since I don't play on multiplayer servers anymore apart from like friend servers and stuff

[@AlbertKimMusic]

Holy, this server was my childhood.

[@tomatoflight]

Their 1.9 PvP game Skyfall was my introduction to Minecraft PvP. I would watch so many tv shows while playing it, and I still managed about a 1 w:l ratio. They removed it in a sweep of games, and I'm sure the did that because of declining numbers, but once they removed most of their games, player count dropped like 4 fold. I was so mad at the time, and honestly, they killed my childhood, so it serves them right I'm glad they fell.

[@tomatoflight]

Legit I was a pro at Skyfall. If there was a leaderboard (maybe there was but I was too young to understand) I would have been up there (maybe not top 10, but... Up there...). Without any connection to the community I began to recognize specific glitches, learned the perfect rat spots in the maps, bugs, exploits. There were other good players I would run into every now and then, and I would learn to recognize them. I listened to musicals while I played and built my music taste, I'm a music major now, so this game very well could have played a part in my career - it was a vessel for listening to music and audiobooks and podcasts. I can still remember listening to American Psycho the Musical for the first time, or The Adventure Zone, or watching black mirror episodes. And now it's all gone because mineplex just up and trashed half their games. I eventually moved on to champions/capture the flag (I watched SG-1 while playing that), but eventually the playerbase got so low moved on from there. So much of my enjoyment of Skyfall had to have been because it wasn't 1.8 and therefore was less sweaty, because if minemenclub sweats were playing that game I wouldn't have won a single match.

[@kaykysales7116]

good times when I came home from school and looked for an original account just to play, it was my best hobby. (btw, nice video man, sorry for my bad English, salutes from Brazil)

[@adamlisiewicz1777]

I remember playing mineplex back in the day. I was so hyped to be able to Play on the server where mine favorite youtubers played.

[@Some_Sandich]

I grew up playing Mineplex and loved playing speed build and the game with the 4 teams. I came back to Minecraft after a year of not playing and almost cried when I found out that my favorite server stopped working. Mineplex will always be a part of me and I hope that it gets revived in some form somehow

[@HoustonMediaHD]

Their KZbin channel is dead too. Based on data, February 2020, they had around 208k subs. Fast forward to today. 192k subs.

[@ifpstopmotions9720]

You should talk about the Minecraft Central (MCC) Downfall. I'm sure some og players would be winning to tell you the story of how staff killed their old main profit source, minigames, with a poorly executed revamp, which later ended with the complete removal of minigames from the server.

[@Vendzor]

Funny enough even in its downfall in the summer of 2021, it was still a thousand times better than it is now. And a few winters from now, I'm sure there'll be people wishing they could return to the glory days of 2022.

[@lachlanokeefe8020]

I stopped playing once the best games got filled with hackers. And I'm not just saying that, there were literally fly hackers in like every 10 games you would play in some of the modes.

[@itsLozCS]

Mineplex has to be the first server I joined back in 1.7.10, hopping back on today and seeing the player count is just... Woah
