Block Game

Block Game, aka Minecraft, is perhaps the most influential bideo bame in Meme Council history.
Theres quite a lot to talk about, so instead of the basic page outline, everything will be separately described in sections:
== Early Beginnings ==
Block Game was appropriately released at a perfect time for nearly every Memeber's childhood, and became a staple in gaming for an entire generation. A big factor in its nostalgic/meme value came from the golden age of Block Game youtubers, such as SkyDoesMinecraft and SethBling, which many memebers watched consistently back in the day.
Each Memeber had a history with the game, some like Meme Lord and Mike Kachowski playing it since release. 
== The MegaMeme Pack ==
The MegaMeme Pack is perhaps the most ambitious and largest Block Game related project within the Council. A massive, 412 MB resource pack created by Mike Kachowski and heavily edited by The Meme Lord. The pack, starting as a simple joke by Mike Kachowski on 8/20/2019, in which a ghast was replaced with a "Shrast", soon grew into Meme Lord / Mike Kachowskis largest collaborative project, and to date, nearly everything in the game is changed.
The pack is also responsible for the initial creation of the Garf Lore thanks to Mike Kachowski's edit of the Enderman into the Garferman.
The pack is still being worked on to this day as more updates are released for Block Game. The pack's creators even made a preview world in which The Snazzmaster and Tactician were shown the pack in its entirety for the first time, put through an adventure of sorts that would showcase everything. This would get worse when on 10/14/2022, Meme Lord would finally start the highly-anticipated Meme Council SMP, where the MegaMeme Pack was required to be enabled for the entire time. Mike Kachowski, Tactician and the Snazzmaster would also join, with MondayMan also joining to help once. Despite the SMP's demand, Mike Kachowski and Meme Lord remained the only ones who would actively play on the SMP. 
== Minecraft Abington ==
Minecraft Abington refers to the 1:1 accurate recreation of Abington Heights High School in Block Game by The Meme Lord, which was used in servers both on the Council and the Software Club.

== 2b2bington ==
2b2bington is a server started by Meme Lord used for chaos and other shenanigans by Memebers, particularly Mike Kachowski, and was a testing ground for many command block chains.

== Badrock ==
"Badrock" is a joke made by Meme Lord to mock the Bedrock edition of Block Game. Meme Lord and many others consistently use Java Edition to play Block Game, as those are the versions they grew up with. Badrock, being the version made by Microsoft when they purchased the IP, has historically been a buggier, laggier version of the game, with a microtransaction system and an ingame shop. Meme Lord in particular vehemently hates this version of the game, seeing the shop as a scam, as the things being sold are often sold for outrageous prices, especially items such as resource packs, skins and mods which have and always will be free for Java edition.
Meme Lord has also had previous experience on Badrock, having a free windows 10 copy due to owning Java on a windows 10 pc. He played it seldom, only doing so a few times on Tino's badrock server. This experience only further increased Meme Lord's hatred towards this version of the game, finding many features to be aggravating, though he did find out how to dupe things in about 10 minutes, getting a double chest of diamond blocks quite quickly (if anything this reinforces that its buggy).
The Snazzmaster is one of the few memebers that consistently plays Badrock, citing his computer's poor performance for not using Java. 
== The Ultimate Gottem ==
Perhaps one of the greatest gottems ever done by a memeber was Mike Kachowski's Block Game server, containing a gigantic png-converted image of My Ride from Outer Space, as well as a gigantic gottem, and the theme playing over noteblocks. Mike Kachowski invited Meme Lord to it on 5/26/2019.
== Hybixel ==
Hybixel, the largest server on Block Game, has been the go-to passtime for Memebers to play together whenever they were playing Block Game, as well as the Software Club's, and it was here where the Meme Council/Software Club first started playing Block Game together. Going back as far as August 25, 2020, these sessions were done by Software Club members, including Dirty Mike, Mike Kachowski, and eventually The Snazzmaster. Meme Lord joined on 11/24/2022.
Often, Fredwars was the most popular passtime, and it was here where the "funny strat" was used. The funny strat consisted of not playing the game like a normal person and instead building a glass (bomb-proof) bunker underneath your island, and hiding in it for the entire duration of the game. Because it is underneath the island, enemies have an incredibly difficult time getting to its inhabitants and often take to cursing the funny stratters out in the chat for the entire match. While their bed is destroyed immediately with this strategy, the bunker was always meant to be a coffin. They often equipped ourselves with plenty of arrows, fireballs and sponges to simply annoy the remaining team until they either ran out of supplies and inevitably lost, the enemy team gives up, the enemy team dies to the dragons, or, one a few rare occasions, they win.
Rarely, Hybixel would change the Fredwars gamemode to "Gunwars", a side-variant where everything was essentially the same, except guns were given to the players. The Council and the Software Club got quite good at this, Meme Lord himself even getting 50+ kills for some matches. Gunwars eventually got so popular in the Council that by 2023, they would only play bedwars if that gamemode was currently in the cycle. It was here where the Ögomaxxing strat was eventually created.
Despite all this, Hybixel is not too popular amongst Counciller's or Software Club members. The server's obsession with supporting 30+ versions of Block Game at once to cater to children who don't know how to use 1.9+ PVP makes the server extremely buggy and plugin-ridden, rendering basic features, blocks, and combat all very janky and useless. For every "fun" Fredwars match, there are typically 5 miserable ones. Hybixel has also banned Meme Lord twice, with no reason given each time, except for a bland message: "Cheating". The second time, a year long ban was given, without any explanation. Meme Lord was also locked out of the appeal forums, for, you guessed it, no given reason. As prideful as this sounds, the only theory the Council could come up with is that certain teams during Fredwars(or Gunwars) got so frustrated with Meme Lord that they collectively /watchdogreport-ed Meme Lord, and that was apparently all the evidence Hybixel's inadequate ban team needed to banish someone from their server. 
== FitMC / 2B2T ==
FitMC has become a permanent meme in the Council, being first mentioned on 5/16/2020 by Meme Lord, quoting FitMC's famous line: "on the oldest anarchy server in (Block Game)". FitMC's videos are automatically posted by a bot in the youtube channel on the Council, and are referenced in jokes often. Megamind even has a 2b2t plot generator.
The only memeber who has been able to get into 2B2T itself is Meme Lord, successfully surviving spawn long enough to die of starvation 2000 blocks away, but after a respawn, survived spawn again by using the nether to get a good distance away, where he travelled XZ highway past 18000 blocks. At roughly -18865 Z, he built a giant ok hand on the side of a chunk error, and this is where he logged off, and hasn't joined since. The qeue for the server has gotten so large that its unlikely any memeber will be able to join again.
== The AHS SMP ==
The AHS SMP refers to a multiplayer survival server done with Software Club members starting on 12/18/2020, including Dirty Mike, Meme Lord, Mike Kachowski, The Snazzmaster, and Tactician. It was very successful, but was played most by Mike Kachowski, who more or less gave the server its own industrial revolution, giving everyone essentially infinite supplies. Meme Lord and Mike Kachowski were the only ones to get Netherite tools and armor on this SMP. The dragon was defeated and recorded by Meme Lord, and this was more or less the 'finale' of this SMP, and the server died off around the end of that month into the new year, the SMP being completely dead by Jan 6 2021.
== The Dune SMP ==
First talked about on 7/8/2021, The Dune SMP was a multiplayer survival server for the Meme Council. It's idea was finalized on 12/8/2021 into being the "dune smp" using the MegaMemePack, set in a desert world. It was delayed as it was planned to be made after 1.19 is released, as Mike Kachowski and Meme Lord were waiting for the release of the Deep Dark in order to redub it for the pack. However it wouldn't be until Q4 of 2022 when the SMP would begin. 
At least, that was the original plan. The Meme Council SMP proved to be successful when it was started on 10/14/2022. Although the 'Dune' theme was abandoned quickly due to the desert being, well, the desert, the base, dubbed "Camp (Deeskuh)", was still built on a beach to reflect the theme. Meme Lord, Mike Kachowski, Tactician and the Snazzmaster are its four active members, though Meme Lord and Mike Kachowski have the most hours on the server by far. The Meme Council SMP had its close on 1/27/2023, where a grand finale was done, which included blowing up Tactician's house.
