PoopCraft Timeline

This is Sonic's account of PoopCraft's history with an included timeline. All writing on this page is done by Sonic (Server Owner).

Before Season 1
Before season 1 started, a couple of the Poopcrafters, before they were Poopcrafters, played minecraft together. These names include Sonic, ChelseyOdyssey, KrazKT6, King_Noah_, Staro, and Boss_Man. Sonic and Staro were particularly close and played a lot of games together. Sonic, Staro, and Kraz were all at the birth of Poopcraft in season 1.

Season 1
Season 1 started out with Sonic, Staro and Kraz. Not long after, Sonic invited cousin LordSwabian and friend ChelseyOdyssey. These 5 players were the founding fathers of Poopcraft. Swabian and Odyssey, from the start, were two of the most active in the group (which is still true, to this day.). LordSwabian, the entrepreneur, and ChelseyOdyssey, the engineer, would often collaborate on projects together throughout Poopcraft's history. Later in the season, King_Noah_ joined once, but never returned until the start of season 2. Season 1 is filled with fond memories for all of us that were part of it. Season 1 had the first ever Shopping District, which has been an included part of every season since.

"My biggest achievement in season 1 was the construction of my Hyrule Castle, which I probably put up to 30 hours into over the course of a month. After all the work, it was definitely discouraging when the season ended abruptly..." -Sonic

Season 1 came to a tragic end. Due to complications with the server hosting service, Shockbyte, we lost the server for several weeks, and did could not access and retrieve the world during that time. To this day, Sonic isn't certain where the world save folder went, but he knows he has it somewhere. Maybe, someday, he'll decide to reboot season 1, too...

P.S. i would not recommend shockbyte... gross...

Season 2
"Every TV show peaks in season 2." -Sonic, before the beginning of season 2.

He was right. Season 2 was a fan favorite season in the group. It had one of the best city layouts they would ever have. The season started with Sonic, Staro, Kraz, King_Noah_, ChelseyOdyssey, LordSwabian and Packomatches. Packo joined the group during the offseason between 1 and 2, who was invited by Sonic during zoom spanish class. Packomatches was another great addition to the group. He was active. Especially in season 2. His biggest, long-term, impact on the group was his love of PvP. During Season 3 and Season 4, a lot of Poopcrafters would play with each other on Hypixel, more than they played on Poopcraft. To this day, many Poopcrafters still play a lot of PvP, which was primarily lead by Packo and Odyssey.

King_Noah_ didn't play on the server after the first day. Staro barely played at all. This season was when Staro, one of the founding fathers, started to slip away and become more disconnected with the group.

"I think the biggest factor of why we all liked this season so much was that there weren't too many of us, but the few that did play, were very active and invested. Myself, Odyssey, Swabian, Kraz, and Packo were all very active. I don't regret adding more people to the group. Not even close. But as you add more to the group, there are more complications and conflicts to deal with, as server owner, and also as a player." -Sonic

What Sonic was referring to, with adding more players, was in season 3...

Season 3
Season 3, the PoopCraft Renaissance, as Sonic refers to it as, had the biggest long-term impact on the group and changed Poopcraft, and it's culture, forever. Near the beginning of the season, a new, controversial, and very influential player was added to the group. This player was Divine_Chance. He was very active and added a lot of life to the season. This season was when Sonic started his Litarcia project. It was a large, walled city, built similarly to his Hyrule Castle. It was also the season of the Weed War. Although season 3 wasn't the longest season, it was definitely packed with the most action.

Halfway through season 3, all around the same time, 6 new players were added, doubling the size of the group. These players are skategirl, GoldEagle, winnas, GrimGhost, Peter (later known as AllegedHealer), and LiL_Buddy. Although a lot of new players were added, this was the season that Staro finally fell away from the group, and never came back.

All these new players effected the group in a lot of ways. Among these players, GoldEagle and winnas were the most active. Both were so active, and still are, that they even rival LordSwabian in hours played. Today, winnas is the most active Poopcrafter in the group.

"Season 3 is kind of hard to look back on, in a way. It was the last good season we had for a long time. Again, I don't regret adding any of the players, but due to some of the new player's conflicts and tension building between them, season 4 and 5 were straight-up unenjoyable for most of us. Those seasons were littered and ruined with conflict." -Sonic

One of the highlights in this season was the War. It was a temporary break from the survival world for a 2 team PvP game. It lasted around a week or two, but ended sadly due to some cheating and double agenting.

Season 4
Season 4 took a while to setup due to disagreement on what version of minecraft to play. After a while, Soinc just decided to take executive action and decide for himself. Season 4 had all the same players throughout it, although, a lot of the players, including Sonic, were checked out throughout most of it.

The season didn't start off too well. There wasn't much excitement about the new season. In the beginning there was a scuffle over the shopping district, involving a conflict between LordSwabian and Divine_Chance.

This wasn't the only conflict involving Divine_Chance that season...

"Honestly, I didn't pay much attention to this season. I kept pretty busy around that time, but sometimes I wonder. If I kept a closer eye, maybe things wouldn't have gotten out of hand towards the end." -Sonic

"GoldEagle reported to me that someone had stolen an enchanted book and her cows, or something, had disappeared. She was convinced that Chance was responsible. I think it was because of something he had said to her that made her think it was him." -Sonic, recalling the events of the end of season 5

As a result of this, GoldEagle, with GrimGhost's help, griefed Chance's base. This was caught by Sonic using a classified, undisclosed method of monitoring what happens on the server. After a lot of "conflict resolution" (nothing was resolved), everyone was unsettled. Divine_Chance agreed to try to work some stuff out the next morning in a discord call. They couldn't do it that night due to some unavailability. Before they had the chance to resolve things, something else happened...

Divine_Chance, enraged, went on a terrorism spree, in-game. He destroyed a number of bases, including those belonging to players not even involved in the conflict.

"I decided to just end the season right there. There was a lot of unrepairable damage done." -Sonic

Sonic decided to put up a temporary creative world to chill out during the offseason. During this time is when Divine_Chance received the first ever temporary ban on the server. He was banned as a result of a griefing attack on LordSwabian and his creation for a build battle that the players were participating in. This created an even wider gap between Chance and Swabian in their relationship.

"At this point, it seemed like the whole server was against him, after all that he had done. I still feel some sympathy towards him throughout all that had happened. I also think that he started to obey the rules a little better, and get along with the others, but still, the whole group was against him, except for me, Owen, and a few other neutral and uninvolved players. It was a tough time for me, as the owner. Around this time, I'm getting a bunch of people telling me to just ban him forever. It was hard to deal with. Season 4 felt a lot more like babysitting than playing a game with friends. It was unenjoyable for everyone." -Sonic

Season 5
Season 5 started off with very little engagement. Less than season 4. It was very short.

Again, something happened...

Divine_Chance was banned from the group indefinitely after being insensitive towards a sensitive, inappropriate topic.

"What Chance said wasn't anything I've never heard before. People make inappropriate "jokes" all the time. Although I would never tolerate it or would I ever behave the same way, the thing that caused me to ban, besides just censoring him, was that we have a couple younger players. One in particular. I'm sure even the younger players have heard a lot of that sort of insensitive stuff before, but I didn't want this group to be a source of any of that. Therefore, there is no room in this group for that kind of behavior. I have always had, and always will, a vision and standard for what the group should be. As a result of that standard, I think this group is better off. I had in mind that I will let Chance back sometime, however the way he handled the ban and what occurred after it has made me more hesitant to do that anytime soon. Who knows..."

-Sonic

After all this, Poopcraft was soured for everyone again. They all stayed connected, but not much minecraft was played, other than Hypixel.

Season 6
Around Christmas, Sonic started considering different options for Poopcraft's future.

"I was heavily considering terminating the server. I decided to give it all one more try. I wanted to find that season 1-3 magic again. So I had an idea. I pitched it to Kraz and Swabian, who both said they liked the idea." -Sonic

That idea was to reboot the season 2 world, because "every TV show peaks in season 2". It worked. There was a lot more activity, and more importantly, there was harmony between us. Two players joined this season, Toad (aka Todd) and Boss_Man. Poopcraft was revived, back from the dead.

"Poopcraft is now a year old. Looking back, there are a lot of fond memories we have made. My goal, in the end, was to give us all a group where we all can enjoy each others company and just have fun. I have had to do a lot of tough things to preserve that, as have all the others, too. We all want the same thing, a family. At the point we are at now, Poopcraft is more than a game, that was my goal from very early on; to bring all these people I know from all areas of my life together. With that being said, I think we succeeded...

We won."
