Community History

Note: This whole page is a HUGE work in progress, like the rest of this wiki. I was pretty young in 2015 so I (creator of this wiki, and the one who originally wrote this page, though others may have modified it) don't remember much. Someone who was older and actually remembers it will need to chip in with information. "This is a work in progress" may be used as placeholder text.

## 2015

Creator of The Official PLUG PE fandom was among plug PE's first users. Plug PE was a small, but swiftly expanding command prompt and multiplayer platform for Minecraft bedrock edition back when it was referred to as Minecraft pocket edition. PLUG PE was primarily used for commands and obtaining items hidden in the game's code such as:

-Glowing Obsidian

-Portal Blocks

-Still Water Blocks

The command could also be used to enchant items exceeding the ingame limit to create overpowered gear and even apply enchantments to items not enchantable in vanilla. Most users initially discovered Plug PE because of the command features, yet remained for the peculiar and at the time exclusive way to play pocket edition online. The most popular servers during this year were survival worlds and creative free-build worlds, (simple, vanilla servers).

Notable events of 2015

-The infamous legacy of ZRALL begins under the username Supreme Zarn, Later changed to Zarn. During this time Zrall hosted relatively popular survival worlds and manipulated players as slave laborers to farm diamonds which were still relatively elusive and highly sought items in infancy of pocket edition. Zrall made his first long-term enemy, a user by the name of Darius cementing his negative reputation on the platform. Darius caught onto Zrall's exploitations of new players for resources and attempted to kill him and end the survival world. After a viscous feud Darius eventually left the world after causing significant damage to spawn and threatening ZRALL's allies. Darius seemingly disappeared from the platform until the summer of 2019 where he would attempt to enact his revenge on a server he co-hosted alongside another enemy of ZRALL.

## 2017

During 2017 the Plug PE community saw massive growth from an influx of new Pocket Edition players after the Redstone and commandblock updates. The community was primarily populated by young teens ages 13-16 with most being approximately 15. Unfortunately, the lack of moderation caused the serendipitous growth of a new genre of servers, NSFW Club Hangouts which were essentially dating and hangout spaces using Minecraft as virtual chatrooms. These servers were cesspools of degeneracy, racial slurs, NSFW conversations, and even in-game skins were on prominent display. Many of these clubs featured impressive clubbing spaces, which were slowly constructed over the course of years following 2017 featuring their own history and internal politics governed by an inner circle of club owners who frequented each others club servers.

Notable Events of 2017

-Modded servers begin to debut as MCPDL creators port popular java mods to pocket edition. Popular modded servers included lucky block worlds

-Mini game servers are made possible by use of command blocks, parkour worlds, the beginnings of skyblock, bedwars, and luckyblock servers were observable towards the tail end of the year.

-ZRALL gains traction across multiple genres of servers beyond survival after attempting to convert players to side with his empire, based in his survival world to shift the PLUG PE player base towards survival worlds and away from more casual playstyles. He becomes known for his hostility and seemingly becomes increasingly enraged by club servers and creative/hangout worlds. During the summer of 2017 ZRALL begins griefing worlds using techniques not yet seen before on pocket edition through use of command blocks, methods includes: TNT Arrows, Forcefully teleporting players millions of blocks away from spawn, Arrows that summon blocks, and arrows that summon creepers. Other griefers begin replicating these techniques causing a cascade of destruction in creative worlds. Griefing remained a moderately seldom occurrence in 2017, although it was the subject of much drama and turmoil in the community.

-Griefing becomes an increasingly significant problem with the END update due to the use of End Crystals to destroy many structures in all flat creative worlds.

## 2018

Official Plug PE Discord (titled "Official Plug Community") is created

## 2021

First mention of the griefing group Spire on the Plug PE Discord, however this was at the end of the year.

Country servers remain the most popular.

## 2022

The Countries server genre becomes a major trend on Plug PE.

Spire makes themselves more known in the Plug PE community, in negative ways.

The speculation of ZRALL's "return" rises, or speculation that he just never left.(potentially slight propaganda)
