A Brief History

Started during the January term (“J-term”) of 2015, this was initially a pure vanilla 1.8 server. It ran on my MacBook Pro during specific uptime windows, since I didn’t want to keep it running 24/7.

Initially there were issues hosting it on the campus network because of how the network was configured, so for a time the server was connected to a separate wireless router I bought off Amazon solely so I could operate a separate wireless LAN without bumping into the campus network restrictions.

Not much is remembered about this era except that I, as a young admin, was prone to excessive trolling of my players. This trolling effectively ceased after an incident where I summoned every mob in 50 block radius to Andy, who I hadn’t realized was at his house at the time–a house which thereafter did not exist due to too many creepers.

Unfortunately, little has survived from this era. Fortunately, much has survived of the eras following it.
