Mountainside Survival

Mountainside Survival is a Survival Minecraft Server dating back to 2018, when it wasn't even a server, and was instead a Bedrock Realm. Server Events go by the categorization of Season, which there are 6 of. 
Season 1 is the creation of the Bedrock Realm. Season 2 is the creation of the Bedrock Server. Season 3 is the ending of the Bedrock Server. Season 4 is the beginning of the Java Server. Season 5 is a Halloween-based update to the Java Server. Season 6 is a Magic-based update to the Java Server.
This server has a lot of references towards the Video-game Trilogy known as Dark Souls due to Devil's fetish towards the beloved Game Series.
The server shut down at the beginning of 2021.
== Onset Survival ==
Onset Survival was a spin-off server created by Sergeant Greasemixer set in the original bedrock realm that Mountainside started in. It began in Late 2021, but risked being shut down due to server costs.
In Early 2022, a whitelisted creative server was announced for Onset, but was shortly shut down.
In Summer 2022, Onset rebooted into its 2nd Iteration, being based instead off the 1st World of Mountainside Survival using the same exact seed. Later in August that Summer, ownership of Onset was transferred to "Devil", who was the original owner of Mountainside Survival itself.
In Autumn 2022, the server was split into a network with 2 different worlds, called Onset and Offset respectively. The split was canonically caused by Travis Scott's Astroworld event causing the world to split. Onset is a nearly-vanilla world with story content to interact with, and Offset is a heavily-modified world with events, shops and more.
The 2nd iteration had a story which was in development by Greasemixer but ultimately didn't make it far due to lack of interest/motivation to continue. The first expansion done for it was the Dead City update, which included a big new area to explore and talk to new NPC's. A new expansion began development shortly after but never got to see the light of day. 
Another developer for the Onset side worked on a story area called "Indigo Island" which upon release, fell flat and was met with dismay by many players due to it being a "glorified spawn".
While on the Offset side, a focus on dungeons and mobs was taken. A developer introduced their own line of dungeons which the first being called the "Sky Dungeon" which have players face off against the Baby Phantom God. This same developer worked on and released a fully fledged Doom Update for the server which came with a massive dungeon which was deemed "impossible" by certain players. After certain decision was made with the Doom Dungeon, players took to write their complaints about it which ultimately led to this developer ranting about everyone complaining and then leaving the dev team completely - this event has led some players to believe that this is the main reason for the server's shut down.
The server split ultimately led to the server's failure along side other factors such as a difference in opinion on what the server should ultimately be and poor decisions and ranting by certain developers. The server would officially shut down in Early 2023 and there are no plans currently to begin a new Minecraft server.
==The Future==
Greasemixer himself has stated disdain about opening a new Minecraft server as of 2024, and even a disdain in Minecraft itself, stating the main reason being wasting money on Onset 2 just for either no one to play it or just for other people to ruin it.
A break-off server of Mountainside Survival went online in April 2024 but as of right now, it is pure vanilla running on 1.15.2, the same version that the original Mountainside Java world left off on. The plans for this server are for it to become exactly like the original Mountainside server but with additions here and there. 
A continuation of Onset 2 with the same worlds is being developed by a past developer however it is unclear if it will ever see the light.
