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.
  • gyroninja is an absolute legend for being willing to upkeep the server to the very end even while not being paid, really sucks that such a great server was in the hands of wealth-hungry businessmen
  • @SamitoFPS
    You all deserved better. I'm sorry. People don't really know just how impactful Chiss was. The vision he and Defek had for having games that just were unique and fun. Those kind of games were NEVER seen anywhere else in the space. 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. EDIT LMAO I'M SO WEAK AT THE BETTER MC SCREENSHOTS WITH KILCAMB AND RYZA HAHA. Adam and Ryan were such goofballs

    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.) [RIP MINEPLEX. We will miss you]
  • RIP Mineplex. I hope everyone enjoyed it while it lasted. I had a good run working on Bedrock stariting in 2020 and I hope those that got to exposure it found it fun.
  • @itzshadow21
    the fact that you had mineplex above your own server in the server list just shows how much mineplex meant to you
  • I was always a Hypixel Purist, but its still sad to see the only major competition die in such a way.
  • @obamegod
    9:43 - 10:10 This small portion of the video spoke to me on a personal level. I am currently the only moderator and owner of a server of my own that also has thousands of people, and it sucks doing it solo. 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.
  • @rustydawgt
    Looking back at it, the devs were barely paid anything and the amount of work staff put into the server for free was insane. Very strong community, but I do remember the staff being treated really poorly.
  • No better vibe than chilling in the massive lobby with all the different little things you could do I still remember to this day getting on top of the tree for the first time
  • I remember playing Mineplex since the old days. Seeing it slowly decay really hurt, since I adored it. I played it throughout elementary and middle school.
  • This is so sad. I was a moderator for mineplex back in 2015-2016. The server was booming and had an amazing community. I’ll always be grateful for the memories and people I met there ❤️
  • Its baffling how neglected the Champions gamemodes were even though they were probably one of the most popular and unique gamemodes on the the server
  • @AWS
    It's seriously upsetting how the owners treated the server and their staff. RIP Mineplex, thank you for all the childhood memories. I definitely won't be forgetting you anytime soon. 🧡 I do hope this Mineplex-reimagined server goes well :)
  • @pam3476
    Thank you for making this video. I was a volunteer staff member for 5 years and was fortunate/unfortunate to be part of the rise and fall of this amazing server. It has been a few years since I left, so it was cool to see some old acquaintances in your video. I’m glad they still found joy in the server, even at its end. Every single volunteer worked on Mineplex because we loved the community. The kindness and passion of the players drove us to continue supporting the server. As staff, the amazing player interactions were the most memorable times. Looking through the comments, I am happy so many people found joy in Mineplex. Thank you all for playing.
  • @CoderIQBE
    Those ending clips are just so beautiful... I too played a lot on the server and I just recognize myself so much in those old video's. Awesome video, thank you so much for making this!
  • @BBeyond_edits
    Man this hits hard. I remember playing on mineplex with my older brothers all the time. I made a lot of great memories on that server. It’s a shame to see it go.
  • @NQProductions
    I remember playing Mineplex many years ago and I noticed the decline over the years as well and it's just sad to see. A Minecraft server should never have to go through something like this. Rest in peace Mineplex. You won't be forgotten. o7
  • this shutdown reminds me a lot of another game that had a very similar shutdown process and downright disgraceful sendoff. I feel you and it just reminds me of how angry i was at that game shutting down
