Mineplex’s return comes after the shutdown that happened earlier this year. According to the official Twitter, players won’t need to pay $15 to log in to the server, as the full release will be free. Mineplex had many games like Super Paintball, Turf Wars, and Super Smash Mobs, whichrecreatesSuper Smash Bros.inMinecraft. As well as the return of all the original games, Mineplex administrators promise more. Players can also go to the server’s official website and buy one of the bundles available to fund Mineplex’s relaunch and get exclusive in-game benefits.
The announcement of Mineplex’s return also included the unveiling of Mineplex Studio, defined as “a new way to develop and publish games inMinecraft.” Mineplex administrators also said that most of the games on the server will be given to community developers, allowing them to be more up-to-date. For players tohost aMinecraftserverisn’t easy, and the difficulty increases with a large server. With this in mind, Mineplex will have a closed beta late this year in which players can buy access to the shop. All funds from this pre-sale will be reverted for Mineplex’s infrastructure costs. Next Friday at 6 PM EST a “developer town hall” will answer questions and discuss things like old stats, ranks, etc.
Minecraftplayers greeted the return of one of the game’s oldest servers with much joy after missing it for some time. Although the reason for the shutdown was never stated, the community has its theories. Some of them are the high cost of services, which displeased players, and the poor anti-cheat codes. Now entering a new era, Mineplex excitesMinecraft’s community with both nostalgia and a potentially bright future, promising even morethings to do inMinecraftthan in its previous run.
Minecraftis available now on Mobile, PC, PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and legacy platforms.
