**Bumpkincraft** is a Minecraft private SMP server that gets documented on the Lucy Does Gaming channel. The series with the same name is a collaborative group effort, brought to you by all members of the server. This page contains information about the Bumpkincraft Server, documentation of it's history, from back when there were no plans for seasons, all the way to the present day.

## Server

Bumpkincraft is a vanilla Minecraft SMP server originally started by a small groups of friends, but has since grown in size. Six seasons in, the server has seen a multitude of new members (called Bumpkins) arrive and has seen some leave.

### Custom Features

Bumpkincraft might be primarily a vanilla SMP, but it has gotten a few unique features over time, both to keep it interesting, as well as some quality of life changes. The custom resource pack adds different textures and combined with the server's datapacks also some entirely new custom blocks!

### YouTube

The Bumpkincraft Server has an official YouTube Channel. The Official Bumpkincraft YouTube Channel currently holds a growing library of the server's OST by Qalculate.

## Seasons

Bumpkincraft is divided into seasons, after each season the players start over from scratch, sometimes on the same world, sometimes in an entirely new world. The server has a rich histiry, from the first season, which started on 8 February 2018 in version 1.12, back when there were no plans for seasons, and before the server was even called Bumpkincraft, all the way to the latest season, Bumpkincraft Mayhem, which started on 5 July 2023.

## Season 1

The first Season of Bumpkincraft had 6 members and started on 8 February 2018, in version 1.12. The members were: athenakids, Qalculate and Pingi2015, with FireHeart27, Pingi2014 and athenatijger joining later on. It ran on a free Minecraft server hosting service with only two gigabytes of ram.

The server was originally called "Bumbocraft" after the mustached cactus from the Hermitcraft server, the server that inspired them to make Bumbocraft. After the summer of 2018, the bumpkins were playing less and less, until eventually they all became inactive, making the server die out slowly. This fueled the rise of a fresh start.

## Season 2

Season 2 of Bumpkincraft had 7 members and started in September of 2018 in version 1.13. The members were: FireHeart27, athenakids, Qalculate, Pingi2015, Pingi2014 and RebelSky071. A lot more preparation was put into the server this time, but it was still hosted on the same free server. The 2GB of ram didn't handle all the increased amount players very well, meaning that the server was prone to crash.

Season two was the first season where events were held at spawn. Build battle and BuildSwap were the first ever events on Bumpkincraft, but also the only events to be held during this season. Season two is the shortest season to date, lasting for less than half a year. In april of 2019 the Bumpkins decided that they should start a new season, since once more the server had seen a lack of activity, with a few weeks going by where only one person would be online at a time. Motivation had faded and they decided to change things up in the next season.

## Season 3

Starting on 14 april 2019, season 3 changed up the formula of Bumpkincraft. The server was now hosted on a paid server with 3GB of ram. Season 3 introduced communism. No one had their own base. Instead, everyone helped building a kingdom on a 2000x2000 block peninsula, which was dubbed 'Bumpkin'. In this season the Bumpkins worked together to build up the continent of Bumpkin and it's capital city Kolos, which spanned an area of 200x200 blocks. The Bumpkin continent had a pre-19th century medieval building style and was lore heavy. During this season resources were shared and shops were not needed.

Season 3 had a lot of custom features, like custom blocks, villager trades and even in-game location music. Season three also had an elaborate event for Christmas, where the Bumpkins had to find the presents hidden by each other throughout Bumpkin.

Season 3 ended slowly, because working on one project for such a long time got boring very fast. It began with xTijs leaving within the first two months and RebelSky071 having no inspiration to build. After a while people started to lose interest in the project and as activity dwindled, eventually there were only 3 active members. Even if the core concept of the season failed, Season III was still the longest season to date with almost a year of building before it ended abruptly, in March 2020 when it was decided that a break from working on Kolos would benefit the server.

Season 3 had a total 9 active members. These were: FireHeart27, Pingi2015, RebelSky071, athenakids, Qalculate, Pingi2014, StackOfPancake, Goldvine & Fietswiel.

## Bumpkincraft Legacy

### Premiered

9 September 2022

After Season 3 dwindled in activity among the Bumpkins, a break was announced on 16 March 2020. Bumpkincraft Legacy was going to be an in-between season to bring back activity to the server. Legacy would reintroduce a more traditional SMP format, featuring capitalism, as opposed to the communistic approach from Season 3. Legacy brought back the Shopping District, Gaming District and Personal Bases. This season was the first to feature individual Mega Bases. Starting in version 1.15, Legacy sparked new life in the Bumpkincraft Server, with a lot of new members joining for the busiest season up till then, having 16 members at it's peak.

As Legacy went on it became apparent that Legacy was no longer a break in between seasons, but had instead grown to be an entirely separate, new season. Legacy, now also known as Season 4, ended in version 1.16 on 17 July 2021. While the fifth quarter of Season 4 saw Pingi2014 leaving the server, it also saw the record breaking peak of 16 active members, as well as a server maintenance that caused the server to be down for 10 hours.

### Shopping District

Legacy's world map was centered around two Mooshroom Islands surrounded by a large ocean with many islands with large variety in biomes. Legacy was located in the same world as Season 3, but thousands of blocks away from Bumpkin. Legacy relocated world spawn to the main Mooshroom Island. The spawn island did feature a warp spot to go back to Kolos, so people could take a look around and explore the Season 3 builds.

### Youtube Series

Season 4 was the first season to be documented on the Lucy Does Gaming channel. Episode 1 of Bumpkincraft season 4 is the first video on the channel. Recording began back in 2020, but, in part due to Covid-19 and several other complications, the release date of the first episode was significantly delayed. Originally being scheduled for release all the way back in winter 2020, it eventually released in 2022, almost 2 full years later. During the time of the first episode of Season 4 airing, season 6 was already ongoing and being recorded.

### Season 5 world

Season 5 saw the return to the Bumpkin project started in Season 3, this time however not in the communism format. Season 5 introduced decentralized shopping to the server, where shops were no longer in a shopping district, but instead spread around the server, in the towns and around people's bases, which encouraged travelling around. A large part of the Bumpkin continent was also reset. Season V saw a reworked version of the iudicium continent, where building style was not bound to lore and where the members would be free to build whatever they wanted. Due to the 1.17 Caves and Cliffs update split all of the land surrounding the continent of Bumpkin on which nothing had been built was reset so new terrain could be generated as soon as it rolled around.

## Trivia

* Bumpkincraft is the first series to air on the Lucy Does Gaming channel.
* BiggusDingus has been charged for tax evasion during season 6.
* According to Qalculate every bumpkin who partook in legacy, is canonically a clone copy of either him, athenakids, FireHeart27, Pingi2015, RebelSky071 or ANMThijs via mitosis. The implications of this towards the overall Bumpkincraft Lore is unknown.
