TaftCraft

**TaftCraft** is a private Minecraft server, created by LocalTheorist on February 15th, 2019. The server was created after another Minecraft server known as Bullseye had removed their old 1.12 world, so they could move to 1.13. Many players, including Etheri disliked this. So Etheri made a new server, known as MineTaft, which later became known as TaftCraft.

## History

#### **MineTaft**

Etheri created a server known as MineTaft in late 2018, after another Minecraft server known as Bullseye had removed their old world. The only players to ever join the server were cubebuster07 and blockminer88, alongside Etheri.

MineTaft was deleted only a few days after it was created, due to it extremely lagging, and freezing a lot. The server froze a lot due to it being hosted on Etheri's PC and internet (neither of which was very good).

#### **TaftCraft**

A few months later on February 15th, 2019, Etheri created a new server known as TaftCraft. This time on a server hosting service, to make it lag less, freeze less, and overall make it easier to manage. A few players, such as cubebuster07, blockminer88, and Cheweh15C were the first members to join the server alongside Etheri.

On October 9th, 2019, TaftCraft was updated to version 3.0, which allowed the server to start running 24/7, allowing the server to get new players, such as JerryDZH and Argentarium.

On January 14th, 2020, TheAgentGamer was whitelisted on the server.

On June 16th, 2020, Larstein was whitelisted on the server, however following the "Turtle Town Incident", he has been removed from the whitelist and needs to be permitted by Etheri to join.

On August 28th, 2020, Ecclesia was whitelisted on the server.

On September 22nd, 2020, Arushou joined the server for the first time (despite being whitelisted several months prior). However, he has yet to return to the server since then.

On January 21st, 2021, TheArchiteck was whitelisted on the server.

On February 27th, 2021, the server switched off of Spigot and went to Paper.

On May 13th, 2021, both SFCarWashChannel and MrVillagerBoss were whitelisted on the server.
