[CyberStrike 48]

  Has anybody ever thought of a Minecraft Survival server for MLPForums? I think that would be great!

Although Minecraft is not my department in PArc (PoniArcade), we do have a Minecraft server. I believe it's just a build/creative server, however. We may discuss opening up a survival server in the future. Thank you for the suggestion.

I herd there was an actual MLP MOD for Minecraft... Hmmm let me see if I can find that video I seen a few weeks ago

We actually had a survival one, but I think they're working on it nowadays and it's closed to the public for now. I know this because I had a kickass house in it and was in the middle of making a bar.

There was a Minecraft Survival server. In fact there have been two or three in the past that I was actively involved in.

 

The problem is, managing it became a serious problem with little outcome for the community, as Minecraft frequently updated, breaking all the plugins and such. Not many people actually played on the server. Though it was talked about and made openly available to people on the forums, there simply weren't enough people regularly playing. Players are attracted to servers with more players; something we didn't have, and have struggle to get. 

 

Part of this could be my fault, as I didn't dedicate a ton of time and effort into the Minecraft side of things, as I had other things to do on the site and on the gaming project back then. Nevertheless the problem came down to management and popularity. It was a lot of work keeping the Minecraft server going at a high quality, and very few people used it.  

 

I don't know what PoniArcade has been doing since I left, but from the sounds of things they'll likely be reviving it eventually. 

 

I'm sure you're more than free to make your own private server and invite some MLP Forums members to join you via status update or blog post though.

I'd play it. Brony servers do exist, but a lot of them are only creative, or are very underpopulated... If I could find one with a more active community and lots of players and options for games/ modes, I'd be there in a heartbeat!

I could make one. It'd be a basic one, but I don't know how long it would take me.
