History of Webbcraft

On the 7th of April 2012 Webbcraft was started by a player called tyran68. Tyran named the server in honor of himself, Webb being his last name. Luigi descovered the server and really enjoyed playing. "... it was a small bukkit survival server with Factions and ChestShop and only 10 slots. In May or June I invited my friends Lizard_Rag and boomboomtnt to the server and we made a faction together and built an underground base." On the 10th of October, 2012 Webbcraft went offline due to Tyran forgetting to pay the fee to keep the server running. An attempt was made in november to reopen the server, but it had little to no sucess.

Luigi made his own private server called The Mushroom Company Survival, on the 10th of April, 2012. "I made it with the purpose of discovering a mushroom biome with my friends..." When the original Webbcraft went down, Luigi made the server availible the public to recreate a similar community to Webbcraft for other people. On the 9th of December 2012 he bought a hosted server as previously hosting from his home computer. "The map was ... reset and new buildings were built such as a grand shop, pvp arena, spawn and a parkour course..." On December 26th the server was attracting 20+ players a day and player slots became increasingly full. Around this time the IP was expiring. Luigi decided to upgrade the server. On the 10th of March after 3 days of upgrading the server, it was moved over to the new IP and had more player slots.

"... the server was in great shape ... However, the 1st anniversary celebrations were cancelled due to unfortunate circumstances..."

During the next few months the server gained many features such as several plugins and Voting benifits in game. In July 2013 The server got the domain webbcraft.co.uk to be used for the server and website. EJveryone was slowly transitioned over to the new hostname IP mc.webbcraft.co.uk, but the old IP worked until the 11th of September, when the host discontinued the server location and change the IP. Luigi moved the host back to the original one in the UK. The server reset on the 11th of September 2013.

When Minecraft version 1.7 was released on the 26th of October, the server updated, but was completely vanilla as bukkit did not have an update ready yet. Players joined because of the updated server. Luigi changed the player slot 3 times because of the influx of players eventually setting it to the current limit of 80. In November, bukkit updated and the server was doing great.
