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.
Have you heard of MCC Island? IMO it's the best server out there (not counting Hypixel) with a ton of fun games. It has 1.9+ pvp, but it manages to integrate it seamlessly. Open beta releases this week!
@@Caroban Let's not forget that MisterEpic is still a TH-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 TH-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.
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
Thanks. While it was inconvenient for players that there was no active development going on, not having a server at all is much worse and prevents people from playing at all. The player's deserved to have a server up so I did it regardless of being paid since I was doing all of this for the community even if I may not have been very close with many people.
@@teeveegaming1238 Don't feel too bad for me. Things have worked out for me. Feel bad about how the community lost everything without even a warning. Everything in life is temporary. I had my fun working on and making the games I did, but I have moved on. I didn't lose anything because I can keep the memories of the time I spent doing what I enjoyed.
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]
How do used to play egg wars all the time and it was the most fun I’ve ever had because I couldn’t play highpixel I use an Xbox one It was really the closest thing I’ve ever had to bed wars and I loved it😢😓❤ Rip minePlex hopefully we see it again
I was a Mineplex purist myself, but I can agree. That's why I hate this the most. The only other big server is Hypixel, and really, we need _less_ people on Hypixel, and _more_ people exploring smaller servers. Mineplex kept it hunble. Sadge.
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.
I only played on mineplex bedrock for the last year nd a half it was around. I dont really play minecraft without friends much but even so i had a suprising ammount of fun on mineplex. Its a shame i wont be able to go back on the server. RIP
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
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.
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.
@@Goingshoe12549 it’s been a while since I’ve let the server know I couldn’t do it anymore, and that i shut it down because of that. Everyone understood and found other servers.
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.
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
Coming home from school when I was in elementary was so fun! Hopping on with friends during summer... All of these memories stuck in the past. I wish I could relive those memories again 😢
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 :)
The owner ran a grooming ring and was investigated by police at one point so I'm not sure how shocking it is. The guy was a nazi who loved teenage girls. Not a shock the people who didn't fit that description never heard from him.
I also run a minecraft server on google cloud platform. Its a smp server about 10k visits (new players) per month and there are always 30+ players on line in EU/NA time zone. I run it with 2 ec2 + 4gb of ram with cloud storage and some other gcp supported stuffs and it costs me about 50 euro per month already but as the business model of minecraft server is pretty hard, i am unable to make money as of now. But imagining how much mineplex would pay to the big data centre, i can see why they closed it
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.
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 ❤️
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.
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
the thing i really loved about champions was how a lot of the abilities just felt super fun to use, i got addicted to it for a good period of time because of that lol
It's a shame since it was the original game mode BetterMC had when it merged with Mineplex all those years ago. Dominate, AKA, Champions, was the main selling point, alongside MineKart, initiating the merger. Both were unfortunately abandoned.
Gyroninja is such a legend. He worked on the Mineplex bedrock server, not for the money he wasn't getting, but for they enjoyment of the playerbase. Whatever he works on next, I hope he has a much better time with it.
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!
My fondest memories of being a young lad was being on that server. Paintball, Super Smash Mobs, Cs:Go, Wizard battle, some of the pvp modes and the variety party mode. And the ever laggy block hunt of course. It still breaks my heart a year after its shutdown. So much time spent on there. GG Mineplex.
Mineplex is indeed one of the first MC servers I can remember playing with friends, and one of the first I watched videos on. The ending of this video made me shed tears man, hearing the younger you act like that, just like how I acted back then.
My brother and I used to play this all the time when we were younger, It was most definitely the most memorable gaming experience I've ever had. It was an essential part of my childhood and ill never forget it and im so glad I got to share it with my brother. He's graduating this Wednesday, really is the end of an era.
Not someone who played on Mineplex, but I also have experiences with losing online spaces that I was fond of. It's sad, you get to reminisce about all of the fun you've had and all of the friends and memories you've made. All of these things become bittersweet over time, and it leaves you hoping that you will experiences something like it again.
I wasn't emotional when I learned of the shutdown but this video I just... my memories on the server came back, not too many that I truly remember but everything is lost now, I have no recordings no nothing, just vague memories I will never truly get back, even if the server was never really my favorite, I just can never truly forget it, and I'll never forget the memories I do have from it
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 remember playing the holiday games such as the Christmas and Halloween ones and having so much fun. 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. It makes me so sad to see a memory of my childhood disappear
mineplex was one of my favorite servers. it had the best versions of master builders and block hunt. so many memories were made on this server’s grounds… i basically watched this server die. towards its end you couldn’t even find enough players to start a game of master builders and it made me sad. every time i was in the mood to play these classic minigames again i’d be crushed to see empty lobbies after empty lobbies.
I’m seriously going to miss this server. I can remember some amazing game modes that they had on their server, like dragon escape and dragons. In these, you had to parkour or be lucky to survive the ender dragons flying toward you to knock you off the blocks and make them go flying all over the place. I’m going to deeply miss the server. 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. I hope that someday I can get that same feeling I got in Minecraft like I did when I played Mineplex.
It sucks to see how one of the few decent, original, servers on bedrock edition was turned to a husk of it's original self, and then was shutdown without having a proper send off. RIP MinePlex!
This. Mineplex was by far the best and most “vanilla” server on bedrock, while the others feel like paid add-on slop for the most part. Sad to see it go. F
In Christmas of 2022 I was thinking of recording the Christmas minigame that Mineplex has had since around 2014 to document it because I knew they would either shut down or redesign the server in the next 2 years but I got lazy and decided to do it in 2023 because I thought Mineplex couldn't possibly shut down THAT soon. I really regret my decision now.
I want to start off with as a Former member of the top 10 Skywars players on Mineplex Bedrock for a while, I remembered watching the server’s decline. Everything from the change in ownership, to the rapid dying of its player base since the attempted revamp. I remembered I stopped playing after they got rid of Kits in skywars, which I grinded months to be able to afford them all. And even then I tried to make it work for a while… I want to thank LT Tombstone for being the Awesome Moderator he was, being in contact ever since he was a trainee…being almost always on call to lend an ear to my reporting hackers that I would find in game and immediately taking care of them. …Farewell Mineplex, your glory days will be missed, but you lived a full life.
Grew up on mineplex with one of my best friends, consider him my brother. Just found out mineplex shut down and we just talked about all the old games we played. I havent logged onto mineplex in years, i probobly wouldnt ever have again. Still id like to thank such a server for giving me so much time and fun with my friends
The Minecraft server I worked for had the Owner burn himself out, and I and others kept telling him to not to, and eventually, he decided to close the server as it became a useless expense. It is truly sad seeing those servers that existed for a while, just die out. The one I worked for has barely ran for 3 years, so I see how hard the expenses can be.
I cant remember the date but I use to be Sr Mod for a year or two. (Mod Coord Team under Ishh, along side Bluebettle and Web) So crazy to feel this way about a server, like I haven't played Minecraft in years but had really good memories over the years here
Honestly one of the most wholesome takes from this is that you can feel the same personality and enthusiasm you have now in your former self. It's sweet, and while I'm new here it shows me that you really are dedicated to this game and aren't just here to content farm. It's refreshing and admirable.
R.I.P Mineplex You will be missed :( You were one of my favourite servers when I only had bedrock edition, one of 3 servers I liked genuinely playing on. I am sure if we were informed, we would all come back for one last goodbye to our beloved server. The last time I believe I played on mineplex was 1 year ago, but before I used to play very often on the server having fun with friends.
As a Champions DOM main myself. Seeing that you have recreated Dom on your server allowing me to play again is just amazing. I'm planning to get my friends who are dom regulars who was on mineplex before its death to play on there another time 😉
the decline and fall of mineplex is truly a sad one my favorite minigame was castle siege, and no matter how terrible i was at it, playing it always brought a smile to my face its insulting that the owners wont give us a notice that it is shutting down. the server couldve been ended like the hive, but instead they chose to leave it in the dust
Here because of Samito. Never played minecraft. Not even once. But Samito's a good guy, and i know he'll do good in his endeavors. Cheers! Wish him the best!!!
man, I didn't really play mineplex a lot, but it hurts to see this kind of stuff in the gaming industry. Sorry for you mineplex fan's loss. 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.
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. I have two questions for you Mr. TH-camr: Was MyKindos around in BattleAU? And what was your fondest memory on BattleAU? :)
I remember playing Mineplex in 2016 when I was 7 years old, and it was the best server I’ve played at that time. My favourite game was Cake Wars, but damn, Champions was truely the best game. RIP Mineplex 2013-2023
I remember the earlier days of Mineplex on bedrock- I had so much playtime on it until I lost motivation with the amount of bugs and lag there was such as the world not loading at all on switch for over a year, making me fall out of the world (which was coincidentally fixed a day after I commented about it on your other video on its corruption). I haven't even logged on kind of recently nor have I actually played it in a few months. It would've been great to have one more look, open my 40ish crates, and see my stats for one more time. The outro of this video literally made me start to tear up, it made me think of my own time playing Mineplex.
This legit made me tear up a bit i remember playing on mineplex since 2015 and up to this day i was playing time to time even though it didnt have that many players as hypixel it was still cool in its own way as if it was your big friend group because you could see the same people almost every day it breaks my heart that i probably never will see these people again and this server
Literally it was the only server I played on because of it's unique mini-games. Especially Death Tag. We had really strong community full of skilled people and we could chill and play DT whole day. I have tears in my eyes when I think of that because those times were really golden that I won't forget. While being in school I was thinking about to going home and hop on the server as soon as possible. So sad to see how Mineplex's staff treated it and let the pure diamond become a block of cobblestone. Hopefully one day we will meet again...
I remember playing on that server on bedrock. That was one of the better ones, and it's sad to see it go. Goodbye mineplex, your constitutions to minecraft will not be forgotten.... At least not yet.
I remember my friends and I convincing our parents to donate to Mineplex for an Ultra rank, because we played it every day and it was just $20 forever for our favourite server… oh, the memories.
I was a moderator on mineplex for a while starting in 2020. It was probably one of the most fun experiences of my life so far. I am honestly so very sad that I will never be able to play it again. I really just want to play mixed arcade one more time :,(
I remember waking up early every morning at 4-5am before school so I could play Mineplex, especially for the Halloween event. I remember even playing while completely out of it after getting home from a tooth removal (it was infected) totally helped with the pain 💀. Will be missed, never forgotten RIP.
this is really sad to see, ive played on it since i got my account like 6 years ago. i think what im going to miss the most is probably the seasonal holloween and Christmas minigames
I know it’s probably a passion project and all but that one guy saying last time he got paid was October 4th was a horrible choice. Should’ve left straight up when they didn’t pay him
TheMisterEpic when I heard it first shutdown I didn't feel anything that much but after watching this, I remember playing it on Java, and Bedrock then I felt something from watching this and now I miss playing on the server.
I remember being 10-12 years old playing the mineplex server for the first time when everyone back then was a lot nicer and you could greet people and make friends like that. Its not like that anymore on a lot of servers including Mineplex. Rip Mineplex. I havent played in 5 months and to come back and not see the Mineplex server when i wanted to play lost a piece of my childhood
mineplex was literally part of my childhood. Seeing clips of videos you made on mineplex as a kid brings me back. I remember using Bandicam and trying to find free recording software trying to make videos on mineplex with my friends. I wish I was able to go back and play my favorite games just once more now :(
Their anti cheat was next to nonexistent and for those of us who played on this server frequently, it was extremely frustrating. The games were fun, the community was awesome, but neglect from the owners is unfortunately why people stopped playing
i just wish they had some sort of goodbye event, y'know? if i had known the server was gonna shut down i would've played on it one last time. i get that there was a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes, but it just sucks to see.
Mineplex was my childhood. I was never really into survival minecraft when I was younger, so servers like this were where I spent most of my time. I remember practically begging my parents for the ultra rank and they wisely said no. It will always hold a special place in my heart, and its sad to see what it became. Turf wars, bridge battle, and super smash mobs are modes I made good memories with my friends on.
My favorite game was Bridges, and after it started going downhill, you couldn’t get the 80-160 players it needed. Like, not nearly enough. And no other server has had anything similar. So that game is just… gone forever. I guess.
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 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… 😢
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.
I quit Minecraft for about a year and came back and bought membership to go on servers and I looked for mineplex and I couldn’t see it there. I’m so sad it got shut down I had so many’s great memories on that server..
Crazy that you mention BattleAU and Chiss - that is true nostalgia right there! I played AusMC and most iterations back in the day (BattleAU, SeaMC etc) no doubt I played with you at some point! Still remember the day when Chiss was working on the Counter Strike game mode and we all joined his private server to test. Thanks for the memories!
This honestly made me cry. I remember playing the christmas update with my sister. The advent calendar, the big winter parkour, speed builders, so much things to remember.. And it's all gone. I loved playing mineplex, it will forever take a place in my heart. ❤️ Goodbye Mineplex, I'll miss you forever. R.I.P. 😭
They way when the owners didn't even tell their staff what was happening passed me off my favorite serve was mineplex because of cake wars seeing that its gone forever makes me mad and sad RIP mineplex😢😢
I just want to say that Samito, Once Pro Player in Overwatch, bought 100% of Mineplex, and wants to revive it. With the news that PvE isn't what it was supposed to be in Overwatch 2, he wants to move on. That's some great news!
As the first server I ever played on when I got Minecraft, Mineplex will forever hold a place in my heart. I have many memories and proud moments from Mineplex and I'm sad to see it go. It reminds me of a time where I didn't worry so much and was still innocent. Rest in peace Mineplex and thank you to the admins and developers that kept it up till the very end.
I was in mineplex at 2016-2018 lots of good memories and i just gor back was looking for mineplex and been wondering why i cant go in for sometime now then i just saw this video damn shame

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.
Minecraft server?
no the fuck you dont
Name of it?
@@Goingshoe12549 it’s been a while since I’ve let the server know I couldn’t do it anymore, and that i shut it down because of that. Everyone understood and found other servers.
@@obamegodI’m calling cap “oh I had thousands of players” and month later you shut it down? 😂 lying in TH-cam comment section sad AFFF
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.
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
The mineplex hub and gadgets truly were awesome
Coming home from school when I was in elementary was so fun! Hopping on with friends during summer... All of these memories stuck in the past. I wish I could relive those memories again 😢
@@Takeromg i use to do the same thing with my friend we would always play the arcade mode
tree climb is awesome
Getting on top of the tree is when boys became men.
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 :)
It's a money pit. Not sure what you expect.
The owner ran a grooming ring and was investigated by police at one point so I'm not sure how shocking it is. The guy was a nazi who loved teenage girls. Not a shock the people who didn't fit that description never heard from him.
I hope Champions is there because I played over 6k Champions games while the servers were still around.
@@killermoglebro the new owner is someone who actuslly cares.
I also run a minecraft server on google cloud platform.
Its a smp server about 10k visits (new players) per month and there are always 30+ players on line in EU/NA time zone.
I run it with 2 ec2 + 4gb of ram with cloud storage and some other gcp supported stuffs and it costs me about 50 euro per month already but as the business model of minecraft server is pretty hard, i am unable to make money as of now.
But imagining how much mineplex would pay to the big data centre, i can see why they closed it
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.
exactly same for me. o7
Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened
@@1234combo stop spamming this shit quote
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 COMING BACK
@@kaustubh_haha proof?
i remember applying for moderator and then realizing it was dreadful
omg I remember you

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.
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
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
the thing i really loved about champions was how a lot of the abilities just felt super fun to use, i got addicted to it for a good period of time because of that lol
@@theschrollers sniping people and using rope arrow & wolf pounce felt like being Tarzan with a gun.
i have fond memories of playing that
shield smash was still funny even after not having quick recovery
It's a shame since it was the original game mode BetterMC had when it merged with Mineplex all those years ago. Dominate, AKA, Champions, was the main selling point, alongside MineKart, initiating the merger. Both were unfortunately abandoned.
Time to go back to happy wars
Gyroninja is such a legend. He worked on the Mineplex bedrock server, not for the money he wasn't getting, but for they enjoyment of the playerbase. Whatever he works on next, I hope he has a much better time with it.
Thanks. Currently I am working on a part of the the Quest VR headset's operating system and things are going well for me.

@gyroninjamodder that's awesome! Thank you so much for the all hard work youve put in ❤️
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!
My fondest memories of being a young lad was being on that server. Paintball, Super Smash Mobs, Cs:Go, Wizard battle, some of the pvp modes and the variety party mode. And the ever laggy block hunt of course. It still breaks my heart a year after its shutdown. So much time spent on there. GG Mineplex.
I used to get called a hacker constantly in SSM, I miss it :

Mineplex is indeed one of the first MC servers I can remember playing with friends, and one of the first I watched videos on. The ending of this video made me shed tears man, hearing the younger you act like that, just like how I acted back then.
My brother and I used to play this all the time when we were younger, It was most definitely the most memorable gaming experience I've ever had. It was an essential part of my childhood and ill never forget it and im so glad I got to share it with my brother. He's graduating this Wednesday, really is the end of an era.
Not someone who played on Mineplex, but I also have experiences with losing online spaces that I was fond of. It's sad, you get to reminisce about all of the fun you've had and all of the friends and memories you've made. All of these things become bittersweet over time, and it leaves you hoping that you will experiences something like it again.
I wasn't emotional when I learned of the shutdown but this video I just... my memories on the server came back, not too many that I truly remember but everything is lost now, I have no recordings no nothing, just vague memories I will never truly get back, even if the server was never really my favorite, I just can never truly forget it, and I'll never forget the memories I do have from it
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.
Mm, I didn't get to play it in it's golden ages, still was fun while it lasted
I remember playing the holiday games such as the Christmas and Halloween ones and having so much fun. 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. It makes me so sad to see a memory of my childhood disappear
I remember those. Where there was santas sled and you had to do all the challenges. Good times, im 21 now and feel so old
RIP my glacial steed, undead horse, and my Baby Villager Elf named Lenny.
mineplex was one of my favorite servers.
it had the best versions of master builders and block hunt. so many memories were made on this server’s grounds…
i basically watched this server die. towards its end you couldn’t even find enough players to start a game of master builders and it made me sad. every time i was in the mood to play these classic minigames again i’d be crushed to see empty lobbies after empty lobbies.
I miss the Domination and CTF gamemodes. I loved the class system and the fun counters / strats people could pull
I’m seriously going to miss this server. I can remember some amazing game modes that they had on their server, like dragon escape and dragons. In these, you had to parkour or be lucky to survive the ender dragons flying toward you to knock you off the blocks and make them go flying all over the place. I’m going to deeply miss the server. 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. I hope that someday I can get that same feeling I got in Minecraft like I did when I played Mineplex.
its gonna comeback
Dragons was the best man...
It sucks to see how one of the few decent, original, servers on bedrock edition was turned to a husk of it's original self, and then was shutdown without having a proper send off. RIP MinePlex!
This. Mineplex was by far the best and most “vanilla” server on bedrock, while the others feel like paid add-on slop for the most part. Sad to see it go.
F
In Christmas of 2022 I was thinking of recording the Christmas minigame that Mineplex has had since around 2014 to document it because I knew they would either shut down or redesign the server in the next 2 years but I got lazy and decided to do it in 2023 because I thought Mineplex couldn't possibly shut down THAT soon. I really regret my decision now.
I want to start off with as a Former member of the top 10 Skywars players on Mineplex Bedrock for a while, I remembered watching the server’s decline. Everything from the change in ownership, to the rapid dying of its player base since the attempted revamp.
I remembered I stopped playing after they got rid of Kits in skywars, which I grinded months to be able to afford them all. And even then I tried to make it work for a while…
I want to thank LT Tombstone for being the Awesome Moderator he was, being in contact ever since he was a trainee…being almost always on call to lend an ear to my reporting hackers that I would find in game and immediately taking care of them. …Farewell Mineplex, your glory days will be missed, but you lived a full life.
Grew up on mineplex with one of my best friends, consider him my brother. Just found out mineplex shut down and we just talked about all the old games we played. I havent logged onto mineplex in years, i probobly wouldnt ever have again. Still id like to thank such a server for giving me so much time and fun with my friends
A Minecraft server with as much debt as many US college students damn
The Minecraft server I worked for had the Owner burn himself out, and I and others kept telling him to not to, and eventually, he decided to close the server as it became a useless expense. It is truly sad seeing those servers that existed for a while, just die out. The one I worked for has barely ran for 3 years, so I see how hard the expenses can be.
Good thing our Owner sent off the server with a community farewell and thanks, as wells as letting the staff know ahead of time. he was a good owner.
@OHI0_NP3 what is bad?
I was never on mineplex enough to feel any nostalgia for it, but it sucks seeing a sever with so much history having to shut down
Yea, same for me. I played from time to time but thats it.
I cant remember the date but I use to be Sr Mod for a year or two. (Mod Coord Team under Ishh, along side Bluebettle and Web) So crazy to feel this way about a server, like I haven't played Minecraft in years but had really good memories over the years here
Honestly one of the most wholesome takes from this is that you can feel the same personality and enthusiasm you have now in your former self. It's sweet, and while I'm new here it shows me that you really are dedicated to this game and aren't just here to content farm. It's refreshing and admirable.
R.I.P Mineplex
You will be missed :( You were one of my favourite servers when I only had bedrock edition, one of 3 servers I liked genuinely playing on. I am sure if we were informed, we would all come back for one last goodbye to our beloved server. The last time I believe I played on mineplex was 1 year ago, but before I used to play very often on the server having fun with friends.
its incredible that something that was once so big fell into obscurity and then got deleted... it used to be everyones favorite server
Entropy. Everything must come to an end
As a Champions DOM main myself. Seeing that you have recreated Dom on your server allowing me to play again is just amazing. I'm planning to get my friends who are dom regulars who was on mineplex before its death to play on there another time 😉
Looks like I gotta join too. How many games did you play before the server died?
@@arena_sniper7869 I had like 3.5k wins i think, overall I'm not sure but yeah
the decline and fall of mineplex is truly a sad one
my favorite minigame was castle siege, and no matter how terrible i was at it, playing it always brought a smile to my face
its insulting that the owners wont give us a notice that it is shutting down. the server couldve been ended like the hive, but instead they chose to leave it in the dust
Here because of Samito. Never played minecraft. Not even once. But Samito's a good guy, and i know he'll do good in his endeavors. Cheers! Wish him the best!!!
I am literally crying right now i have soo many nostalgic memory's and would play this server often with my friends
Didn't expect a video about a block game server to bring me to tears
It’s sad that mineplex is gone. I’m gonna miss Carl the creeper 😢
Rip Carl
Fr ;-;
rip carl
"Hey! I have sssome amazing rewardsss for you! Come sssee me!"
Me too :(
man, I didn't really play mineplex a lot, but it hurts to see this kind of stuff in the gaming industry. Sorry for you mineplex fan's loss. 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.
IT'S BACK!!! SamitoD (Sam) bought the brand and now owns 100% of the company.
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.
I have two questions for you Mr. TH-camr: Was MyKindos around in BattleAU? And what was your fondest memory on BattleAU? :)
I believe mykindos was yep, and I played the first season of the betterpvp reboot in 2020 as well hahahaha, was great fun
The fact that Mineplex is bigger than other smaller servers that aren't thriving but are still online is just so sad.
its way more expensive to keep mineplex up because it has more data
We will always remember are old childhoods playing mineplex. Curious what mingame was your favorite on mineplex? Mine is the paint war one
Dominate/champions for sure, followed closely by death tag. I loved using the traitor kit and knocking people to their deaths lmao
I liked the one where the dragons would destroy the island and you tried to survive on the island that was slowly getting destroyed
I loved playing turfwars and dragons. They had the least amount of hackers lol
I liked the classic dragon's gamemode on bedrock
Mine was Turf Wars
I remember playing Mineplex in 2016 when I was 7 years old, and it was the best server I’ve played at that time. My favourite game was Cake Wars, but damn, Champions was truely the best game. RIP Mineplex 2013-2023
16:18 This is such a sweet video to have to look back at! Thats super cool! Thank you for sharing a fun memory of your fun times as a kid
I remember the earlier days of Mineplex on bedrock- I had so much playtime on it until I lost motivation with the amount of bugs and lag there was such as the world not loading at all on switch for over a year, making me fall out of the world (which was coincidentally fixed a day after I commented about it on your other video on its corruption). I haven't even logged on kind of recently nor have I actually played it in a few months. It would've been great to have one more look, open my 40ish crates, and see my stats for one more time.
The outro of this video literally made me start to tear up, it made me think of my own time playing Mineplex.
This story…
It’s enough to make a grown man cry…
But that’s okay…
I’m glad everyone was able to make so many memories while it lasted.
based reference
This legit made me tear up a bit i remember playing on mineplex since 2015 and up to this day i was playing time to time
even though it didnt have that many players as hypixel it was still cool in its own way as if it was your big friend group because you could see the same people almost every day
it breaks my heart that i probably never will see these people again and this server
I played Mineplex for 1000 of hours when I was still a little kid it’s sad to see the sever go where I had such good memories😢
Literally it was the only server I played on because of it's unique mini-games. Especially Death Tag. We had really strong community full of skilled people and we could chill and play DT whole day. I have tears in my eyes when I think of that because those times were really golden that I won't forget. While being in school I was thinking about to going home and hop on the server as soon as possible. So sad to see how Mineplex's staff treated it and let the pure diamond become a block of cobblestone. Hopefully one day we will meet again...
I remember playing on that server on bedrock. That was one of the better ones, and it's sad to see it go. Goodbye mineplex, your constitutions to minecraft will not be forgotten.... At least not yet.
I remember my friends and I convincing our parents to donate to Mineplex for an Ultra rank, because we played it every day and it was just $20 forever for our favourite server… oh, the memories.
My childhood memories 😢 We will miss Mineplex ❤
I was a moderator on mineplex for a while starting in 2020. It was probably one of the most fun experiences of my life so far. I am honestly so very sad that I will never be able to play it again. I really just want to play mixed arcade one more time :,(
same
I remember waking up early every morning at 4-5am before school so I could play Mineplex, especially for the Halloween event. I remember even playing while completely out of it after getting home from a tooth removal (it was infected) totally helped with the pain 💀. Will be missed, never forgotten RIP.
this is really sad to see, ive played on it since i got my account like 6 years ago. i think what im going to miss the most is probably the seasonal holloween and Christmas minigames
I know it’s probably a passion project and all but that one guy saying last time he got paid was October 4th was a horrible choice. Should’ve left straight up when they didn’t pay him
Sometimes it's not just black and white, the guy clearly kept going because he cared about the server and its community
@Adam H that makes me sad hw loved it but it didn't go well
@@IsabelaHenriquez-nf1uu i used to play on this server as well. especially the bedrock one in 2018 till the coon virus.
Someone shouldve just bought out the server
@@bryanp5843 someone did
TheMisterEpic when I heard it first shutdown I didn't feel anything that much but after watching this, I remember playing it on Java, and Bedrock then I felt something from watching this and now I miss playing on the server.
I remember being 10-12 years old playing the mineplex server for the first time when everyone back then was a lot nicer and you could greet people and make friends like that. Its not like that anymore on a lot of servers including Mineplex. Rip Mineplex. I havent played in 5 months and to come back and not see the Mineplex server when i wanted to play lost a piece of my childhood
mineplex was literally part of my childhood. Seeing clips of videos you made on mineplex as a kid brings me back. I remember using Bandicam and trying to find free recording software trying to make videos on mineplex with my friends. I wish I was able to go back and play my favorite games just once more now :(
Their anti cheat was next to nonexistent and for those of us who played on this server frequently, it was extremely frustrating. The games were fun, the community was awesome, but neglect from the owners is unfortunately why people stopped playing
i just wish they had some sort of goodbye event, y'know? if i had known the server was gonna shut down i would've played on it one last time. i get that there was a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes, but it just sucks to see.
I do hope Gyroninja will help bring Mineplex: Reimagined back. Someone like that deserves recognition.
But Rest Well. Mineplex.
Mineplex was my childhood. I was never really into survival minecraft when I was younger, so servers like this were where I spent most of my time. I remember practically begging my parents for the ultra rank and they wisely said no. It will always hold a special place in my heart, and its sad to see what it became. Turf wars, bridge battle, and super smash mobs are modes I made good memories with my friends on.
My favorite game was Bridges, and after it started going downhill, you couldn’t get the 80-160 players it needed. Like, not nearly enough. And no other server has had anything similar. So that game is just… gone forever. I guess.
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 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… 😢
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.
I quit Minecraft for about a year and came back and bought membership to go on servers and I looked for mineplex and I couldn’t see it there. I’m so sad it got shut down I had so many’s great memories on that server..
Rip to my childhood game modes: Bridges, Paintball, survival games, dragon run?, that 5v5 game
Mode with the walls, and the lobby parkour
You never miss something untill its gone.
Amogus
I remember playing mineplex and thought 'man, this rlyl is the best server ever'. Its sad to see its downfall. RIP Mineplex.
Rest in peace ✌️
I was a regular player of Mineplex, im very sad to see it go, i keep looking at the servers tab and see Mineplex down very heart braking.
i know right, i have both the regular and clans address still at the top of my screen and i can’t bring myself to lower it
What sucks most of all about modern Minecraft servers is that you can’t play classic hunger games anywhere
This is one of the saddest shutdowns since Club Penguin. At least with Club Penguin though, we got to say goodbye.
Indeed
i just want to play one more time... and I would have if there was an announcement. it was so sudden I didn't get to say goodbye
Great empires typically don't go down in a blaze of glory, but rather a sad whimper.
Mister Epic's videos just keep getting more and more impressive. Keep it up! ❤
Crazy that you mention BattleAU and Chiss - that is true nostalgia right there! I played AusMC and most iterations back in the day (BattleAU, SeaMC etc) no doubt I played with you at some point! Still remember the day when Chiss was working on the Counter Strike game mode and we all joined his private server to test. Thanks for the memories!
Great video MisterEpic. That end clip was very somber and really put into perspective what was lost.
It’s a shame. I had a lotta good memories on this server 💜
Rest in peace mineplex gone but not forgotten we miss your games and nostalgia but not the bugs and lag
This honestly made me cry. I remember playing the christmas update with my sister. The advent calendar, the big winter parkour, speed builders, so much things to remember.. And it's all gone. I loved playing mineplex, it will forever take a place in my heart. ❤️
Goodbye Mineplex, I'll miss you forever. R.I.P. 😭
They way when the owners didn't even tell their staff what was happening passed me off my favorite serve was mineplex because of cake wars seeing that its gone forever makes me mad and sad RIP mineplex😢😢
I just want to say that Samito, Once Pro Player in Overwatch, bought 100% of Mineplex, and wants to revive it. With the news that PvE isn't what it was supposed to be in Overwatch 2, he wants to move on. That's some great news!
This is the only server I ever really played, it's incredibly hard to believe it's downfall
i remember playing this server nearly everyday... and now i find out that its closing
As the first server I ever played on when I got Minecraft, Mineplex will forever hold a place in my heart. I have many memories and proud moments from Mineplex and I'm sad to see it go. It reminds me of a time where I didn't worry so much and was still innocent. Rest in peace Mineplex and thank you to the admins and developers that kept it up till the very end.
I was in mineplex at 2016-2018 lots of good memories and i just gor back was looking for mineplex and been wondering why i cant go in for sometime now then i just saw this video damn shame
Seeing your early videos is just how I was, so young and so stupid to watch now, oh, the good days, Minecraft is who I am.
