A New Minecraft Server - Minecraft Mistborn

This info is outdated. Please see https://www.mcrpg.com/

Howdy! I'm hclewk. I built MCPVP back in December 2010. Over the next 5 years, MCPVP got really big, really complicated, and really frustrating for me, personally.

We did lots of cool stuff with MCPVP.

  • We were the first Hardcore PVP server that didn't heavily utilize whitelists.
  • We were the inspiration for BuyCraft
  • We developed the first Capture the Flag server
  • We developed the first Hunger Games server
  • We invented "Soup PVP"

All of that seems pretty run-of-the-mill now, but at the time, we were pioneers. As time went on, things got more and more complicated, and innovation slowed to a crawl. We had to deal with fraud, DDoSes, DDoS threats, and I even got Swatted... twice. We tried to comply with the EULA changes, and failed - and our revenue tanked because of it. We cut back drastically on expenses, and community drama ensued. Frustrated and sad, I sold MCPVP to Brawl for a net loss in May of 2015, and swore I was done with Minecraft - forever.

But we all know how that story goes. I miss the early carefree days of MCPVP, where I was developing games I wanted to play. I've been considering starting a new Minecraft server from scratch for weeks now, and finally got the green light from my wife a few days ago.

I'm Back

Today I started officially working on Minecraft Mistborn. Minecraft Mistborn is (very) loosely based on the Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson. It's a persistent world server (think factions or raid), with a leveling mechanic; pvp incentive; powerful, strategic abilities; and the scary, hardcore "please don't let me die" feel of HG we all love. I'll follow up with specifics later.

I'm literally starting over with this project. I'm writing it brand new, from the ground up, to be as lag free and bug free as possible. Today, I spent my work time setting up my environment, and setting up the code. I have my build process working, DB set up, and wrote a bunch of code to communicate with the DB.

Timeline

I plan to have an Alpha version of the server ready to go early next week (around December 3rd - give or take a couple of days).

If you'd like to be an alpha tester, buy Early Access (this will also get you 2 months of VIP after release).

Beta should follow around December 9th, with full release around December 20th.
