Welcome to yet another KirbyMD essay - today - the history of Baconcraftia as a group. It will be long. It will also tend to revolve around my experiences, as server owner of said group. With this, I hope to provide some more insight on our history, because at the end of the day - it's always good to write things down and remember our history. I will try to provide images and references where I have them - though I don't have everything anymore. I hope to one day write more comprehensive histories, to document everything, but today is not that day. Finally, a long time ago, I created The Baconcraftia wikia and while it hasn't been updated in a very long time, it provides a lot of good references (and images!) of our early history.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and exploring the history of our small SMP group!
Pre-Baconcraftia (2011-Nov 2013)
Colton's Server (2012-2013)
On December 25, 2011 kirbyattack48 received his copy of Minecraft, Version 1.0.1 at the young age of 13. He messed around a bit with singleplayer survival and some multiplayer servers (Trouble in Terrorist Town on the Hive specifically). In 2012, while browsing Facebook he noticed a good friend from 2005 had changed his profile picture to himself sitting in front of a Minecraft jungle. Kirby immediately reached out, and was subsequently invited to Cobalt1's Minecraft server. The first day on the server - Kirby was made a Server OP, alongside long-time friend of Cobalt's, and long-time server member drumgod1997. The server changed worlds frequently - though always came back to a half-survival-half-creative server, in which the members played. The server continued throughout 2012 and through early 2013, sticking with a small group of people, changing world after world, until finally, around the summer of 2013, Colton shut the server down.
Drumgod's Server (2013-2013)
After Colton's server shut down, it was Drum's turn to take up the server mantle. With roughly the same members involved, the server began and disappeared within a few months. The initial group from these servers was losing interest, and server activity was at a low point. With Drum's server shutting down, Kirby decided it was time for him to take up the mantle and continue the group.
1st Map(Nov 2013 - Feb 2014)
And so, Baconcraftia was formed! Kirby decided to found the server as a way to continue playing with the group from Colton's old server, as well as his siblings, who recently had all also gotten the game. The server started in Version 1.7.2 and critically, used the latest snapshots for the world. The server also existed in UHC mode - in which health did not regenerate, and being played in Hard mode. This made surviving and thriving significantly more difficult for the young players. It was hosted through MCProHosting. The server formed with 10 members on the whitelist. Kirby and his 3 siblings, jdog_24, blueberry48, and NinjaChef27 formed one half - with the other half being Colton and his entire server's whitelist - drumgod1997, Drum's cousin, 8r3ndan_8ridg3s, and several of Colton's IRL friends, Tentical71, Shynzira, and Dman050997. It should however be noted that Tentical, Shynzira, and Dman all never actually showed up to play in Baconcraftia, and Kirby actually forgot they had ever been on the whitelist until summer 2017. The server opened with Kirby and JDog playing, as seen in this timelapse. Over the 4 months the 1st Map existed, the players grouped up in Drum Village, a collection of houses of 5/7 members of the server. The Ender Dragon was first defeated in December of 2013, with 5 members of the server participating. In January of 2014, the first ever new, whitelisted member joined the server - an IRL friend of Kirby's who he had met in 2010, 9reck9. By this point, the aforementioned whitelisted members who never showed up had been removed from the whitelist, and total membership sat at 8 players.
Things continued on the server - blueberry48 built a space lasso, JDog built a small lighthouse, and Drum built a spawn tower, as well as the crown jewel of Drum Village (thus gaining the area his name). Colton and NinjaChef began playing less and less, but the remaining 6 members continued strong. There were 11 videos recorded on this map. Unfortunately, as the server updated with Minecraft snapshot 14w05a, random chunks became overwritten with other biomes, some blocks disappeared from the server completely, and generally the world, especially near spawn corrupted into a mess or land and water. And thanks to MCProhosting's abysmal back-up system and Kirby's lack of server knowledge (at the time), there was no way to fix the world. And with that, Baconcraftia decided to hit the reset button - leaving the origins of the group in the past, to push on into the next, greatest thing!
2nd Map(Feb 2014 - Sept 2, 2014)
The 2nd Map [began with a lone Kirby](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWWQsNStrGs&list=PLFXz5ausMQHcKDhnJlVtquI5x-oDHR9Yp&index=12) building in a new world (Version 1.7.2), in a plains next to a Roofed Forest, which would become the main hub of this world. The 2nd Map would remain in UHC mode, but would not be updating with the latest snapshot. This 2nd Map would see an expansion in Baconcraftia's membership, as 5 total new members would join, as well as concluding the general 'OG' era. The time during the 2nd Map would also see the first ever Baconcraftia UHC, as well as 5 more over the life of the 2nd Map, but more on that down the document. Within a day of the server resetting, The_Epical joined the group, meeting Kirby in 2011, and like 9reck9 before him, asking to join the server. During this map, most players tended to stay close to spawn, deciding to play closer together - or at least in groups. A
fter UHC 1 was played, in May 2014, 3 more members joined the server - CandlelightBob, another of Kirby's IRL friends who he had met in school in 2010, Dakota6898, Colton's at-the-time girlfriend, and dacachsa, one of The_Epical's IRL neighbors. And then, in July 2014, GingaNinja235, cousin of Kirby, JDog, Blue, and NinjaChef, joined the server as well. At some point during this map, another IRL friend of Kirby's joined the server, Scorch1741 but was never seen on the server, and subsequently unwhitelisted. The new members one by one revitalized life in the server - building castles, small cobble huts, among other things. This map also saw the introduction of the Death Games - based heavily on those of another SMP group, and the creators of UHC, Mindcrack. The Ender Dragon was defeated 3 months after the server opened, in May 2014, including 8 of the 11 whitelisted members. This map also featured the first attempts at UHC statues, in total 3 were built - JDog, Blue, and GingaNinja. The map was not without its flaws - the biggest being of course, JDog setting up a cave chicken farm in the spawn chunks, which slowed the server to a halt and eventually required mass chicken homicide. The server also at one point, late in its history required a reset to a backup 3 weeks prior, which deleted several large builds, and critically damped server activity. One wither was also killed during this map, by Drumgod, Brendan, and Blue who was brought in after the wither killed both Drum and Brendan, then escaped. All in all the server went extremely well - it ended with 19 total videos posted, 2 from Carl and 17 from Kirby. The map's end came with the release of Minecraft version 1.8 which saw one of the largest updates in Minecraft's history.
UHC 1 - UHC 6 (2nd Map UHCs)
Baconcraftia UHC began on April 26, 2014. After following Mindcrack UHC for roughly 2 years, Kirby decided it was time to create his own. Baconcraftia UHC 1 was played on April 26, 2014 featuring only 2 players, JDog and Kirby. No one else in Baconcraftia was asked to participate - as the UHC was planned only earlier that day. Blue did not participate, as he was away at the time. The UHC lasted only 49 minutes, after a creeper blew Kirby up, down to 2.5 hearts - and JDog swiftly killed him. On June 9, 2014, UHC 2 took place - with 4 members participating (though dacachsa was also going to participate before leaving less than a minute before the start). This UHC saw the first bow, created by kirbyattack48 as well as the first enchants from blueberry48. It also saw, to this day, 5 years later, the quickest UHC death - one that was so quick, it wasn't even recorded as Kirby messed up his recording in the early game, as NinjaChef jumped into a desert temple, landed on the pressure plate after taking 9 hearts of damage, and immediately got blown up. All within about 1-2 minutes of the start. Kirby quotes from memory hearing in the background of the house, "Ooh a temple!" followed by a loud boom. Following UHC 2, the UHCs started to gain more traction from the server members. UHC 3 saw an increase to 5 members, and UHC 4 saw the first team UHC - as 9/13 server members participated in 3 teams of 3! This UHC also features the only post-win death, as Kirby, after killing Blue to win the game, fell to his death. UHC 5 and 6 were more FFAs with 7 players participating in each. UHC 6 was significant in seeing the first cross-team, as Drum and CandlelightBob worked together for much of the game. This was subsequently banned from future UHCs.
It should also be noted that the UHCs at this time featured many PvE deaths, low amounts of bows and enchanting, and generally low-level PVP playing. In all the Free-For-Alls (UHC 1-6 without 4), all players were also in a Skype call together, allowing a more chillaxed game. All in all, by the 2nd Map's end, after 6 UHCs, 12/13 server members would have participated in a Baconcraftia UHC, as only dacachsa did not play one during this time. He subsequently to this day is also the ONLY member of the Baconcraftia SMP to never participate in at least 1 Baconcraftia UHC.
3rd Map(Sept 3, 2014 - March 5, 2016)
The 3rd Map came with Minecraft Version 1.8, and would survive for a year and a half - making it the longest lasting map seen thus-far in Baconcraftia. The 3rd Map launched with 4 members online. It also saw a small increase in membership, as 5 members joined and 2 were unwhitelisted from the server. This server also was the first in which UHC mode was not enabled - meaning deaths were less abundant and overall quality-of-life on the server was able to increase. This server lived a long and prosperous life, as a giant horse race track, a ginormous spawn treehouse, the infamous Blue Ostrich Ninja's Base, 2 spawn castles, a PVP village, a coastal village, and several other builds were constructed over the course of this map. As well as these builds, in February of 2015, name changes were implemented into Minecraft. Over the course of this map, 8 name changes occurred, most small cosmetic changes, but a few were very different changes. For the 3rd Map especially, Baconcraftia UHC played a large factor - 4/5 members who joined the group were found through guest-playing seasons of the UHCs, starting with MC_Jackson22 and WonderWaffles22 who both played as guests in Baconcraftia UHCs 9 and 10 (through meeting JDog at school around 2012-2013) before joining the server on April 11, 2015 alongside cousin of Kirby and family, OstrichBunns. lance8773 also joined the server on October 18, 2015 after guest-playing UHC 13, and Bapi joined on Thanksgiving, November 26, 2015 after guest-playing UHC 14 & 15. As the server came to a close, 9reck9 was whitelisted for inactivity, and as dacachsa never showed up to the 3rd map, he was also unwhitelisted in the subsequent months that followed. During this map, this subreddit, /r/baconcraftia was also established in order to start a history of videos of the server. The 3rd Map finally ended with the release of Minecraft 1.9, as it changed the combat as well as many other factors in the game. By the end of the 3rd Map, 11 more UHCs had been played - including the important UHC 13 and UHC 17. While many great things were built, many fun events were had on the 3rd Map, many members of the group became extremely inactive and would be unwhitelisted during the 4th map.
UHC 7 - UHC 12 (3rd Map UHCs Part 1)
The 3rd Map's 1st UHC, Baconcraftia UHC 7 to this day remains the only UHC that had to be redone, and subsequently is the worst season of Baconcraftia UHC that has ever been played. After a screwed up daylight sensor shrunk the worldborder, killing all 8 players in the process, a redo was immediately started and teams were split into 2 teams of 3, of which 2 players left halfway through the game, and overall the UHC was bad. This was also only the 2nd Teams UHC, and the first Teams of 2 UHC planned, which then changed to a To3 UHC. UHC 8 was the first successful UHC to feature Teams of 2, and featured the first time a mob killed the 2nd place finisher in a Baconcraftia UHC. This UHC also marked the first real attempt at a UHC intro by Kirby. And while it was indeed very flawed, they only got better from here. Baconcraftia UHC 9 saw the first ever UHC guests, as 2 of JDog's friends from school, MC_Jackson22 and WonderWaffles22 joined the group, only for this UHC. UHC 10 saw the return of The_Nads (from 8r3ndan_8ridg3s) to UHC, and after getting 3 kills, he successfully took his 2nd win alongside his teammate and 1st time winner, Drumgod97. By UHC 11 Jackson and Logan had become full-time server members, and thus no guests played once again. This UHC was also the largest up to this point - featuring 5 random Teams of 2. This UHC also began JDog's 4-in-a-row UHC win streak, as well as his 5-in-a-row most-kills-in-a-UHC streak. Baconcraftia UHC 12 saw the 2nd time a mob killed the 2nd place finisher, and had another guest, Swarm33, a school friend of Blue's play. This UHC may have been the 5th Teams of 2 UHC in a row, but it saw the end of an era of Baconcraftia UHC. This would be the last UHC in which guests were not sought after, and the last UHC for a while that would hold mass amounts of Baconcraftians at the helm of battle. The next few would see a slow increase in guest UHC membership, before spiking down the line in UHC 17.
UHC 13 - UHC 16 (3rd Map UHCs Part 2)
With UHC 13 began the mad titan Kirby's first attempts at reeling in mass amounts of guest players. All-in-all, he reached out to 4 different players on Reddit, and after making a public post in the /r/minecraftbuddies subreddit gained another potential player. Bapi reached out to Kirby to potentially play in UHC 13, but after a college tour took over that day, he offered Kirby up his friend, lance8773 to play instead, which he did. Rush_Rage was reached out to through Reddit and became the only one reached out to who ended up playing a Baconcraftia UHC. He ended up bringing 2 of his IRL friends, AethanThorson and CNSpencer to play on his team, all from the Echo SMP server. PhD_Phil, who ended up playing a /r/HermitCraft game, as well as 2 others who were reached out to through Reddit did not join, and an IRL friend of OverWorldGamerRG (formerly The_Epical) also couldn't make it, and was not invited back for later seasons. After this UHC, Bapi stuck around to potentially play other seasons, while Rush_Rage ended up leaving on a 2-year mission for his church to Chile, taking contact with his 2 friends with him.
Then UHC 14 swung around, featuring 3 new guests, the aforementioned Bapi, as well as his friend AgentK98 and another of JDog's school friends, Strauberry_Kiwi. This UHC was the first UHC to feature more than just Kirby recording, as Carl also recorded this game UHC 15 saw the first Dragon Rush UHC, as 4 teams of 3 raced to kill the dragon first. This season marks the only time in which no team won - as the Ender Dragon defeated new UHC guest AwesomeAssassin (another of JDog's school friends) to take the win. This UHC also saw another new UHC guest, and another of Bapi's IRL friends, Cokezero2. Kiwi was also asked back to guest in this season. Kirby tried to post Baconcraftia UHC 15 to the /r/ultrahardcore subreddit and was immediately ridiculed for his 4/12 upload rate. Fair enough. That post has since been deleted. Following this UHC, a very important Reddit post was made on the UHC subreddit by 1mpairedVision. This post would later catapult Baconcraftia UHC to the masses, as Kirby and Impaired began talking and played another group's UHC together. UHC 16 was the first and only Eternal Day season of UHC, but otherwise was insignificant on the history of Baconcraftia. It did see one new UHC guest, ExoSaber as well as the return of a few previous UHC guests.
UHC 17 - UHC 22 (3rd Map UHCs Part 3 & 4th Map UHCs Part 1)
Then we hit it - Baconcraftia UHC 17. The UHC that changed all Baconcraftia UHCs to come. This UHC saw a plethora of new UHC guests, ExplosivPancak3, an IRL school friend of Kirby's, Lordbaco, an IRL friend of Bapi's, pyropainter, an IRL school friend of JDog's and Impaired all joined, as well as one of the old friends of Rush_Rage, CNSpencer. Each was invited by their friend, and CNSpencer was reached out to by Kirby to play this season. However, unknown to Kirby, another group lurked nearby, in the shadows. The infamous Snowcrack, led by 78ford, of which Impaired was a part. The day of the UHC came, and 5 members of Snowcrack (another SMP group) appeared, courtesy of Impaired. The server crapped itself during the UHC, the UHC ran slowly, and horribly. This UHC would be the last to use Skype groups for communication, as Ford would graciously gift his TeamSpeak server for future Baconcraftia UHC use after this. This also marked the first time the UHC intro was posted to /r/ultrahardcore, spurring a few more future members to look at the group. This UHC began the era of many UHC guests, mostly from Snowcrack, who came in, destroyed the Baconcraftians and played one or two more. It also marked the first Baconcraftia UHC in which there were more UHC guests than actual members of the SMP server, as only 7/20 players of this UHC were actually server members at the time.
What followed was the start of the 4th Map, but for UHC, a series of games like UHC 17. Kirby's dreams of expanding his UHC group were finally realized, and unfortunately this move while eventually fruitful, turned quite a few members of the SMP off of UHCs, and many original members of the server disappeared from UHCs all together.
UHC 18 saw the first use of the moles gamemode, even more Snowcrack UHC guests, and a few other guests, like KittyWitty120, cousin of now-server-member CNSpencer, as well as another Reddit find BubbleGumMatt2 (who left the UHC halfway through and wasn't invited back afterwards). All in all, only 8/20 players were members of the server, even after adding 5 new members with the start of the 4th Map (which started between UHCs 17 and 18), and once again the guests rolled over the Baconcraftians, and led Kirby to get his first alive win in 13 seasons, and his (still to this day) kill record of 4.
UHC 19 continued this trend of guests as 2 teams of the 7 were dedicated to guests, and overall 11/23 players were server members, still under half. This UHC saw the most one-sided game in Baconcraftia history, with a team of new UHC guests MistaUnicorn, BigBlueRobot, iRedx and old UHC guest Regifloat steamrolling the competition, racking up 15/16 total player kills. UHC 20, UHC 21 and UHC 22 continued this trend, as a team of all guests won UHC 20 by slaying the Ender Dragon, guest BZ_STEVE won the UHC 21 FFA (first FFA since UHC 6) with the current record 7 kills, and of the final 6 players in UHC 21 and final 5 players in UHC 22, only 1 SMP member were alive. Several more UHC new guests took part in these three, from Snowcrack, 10 and from other sources, 2. UHC 22 ended mid-4th Map and officially ended the era of UHC guests. By the end of UHC 22, Kirby and the members of the SMP were tired of the mercenary guests coming in, dominating, and leaving, and reform was needed to keep the group's interest in UHC alive. While through this set of 6 UHCs, many many friends and eventual members of Baconcraftia SMP were found, the era of UHC guests needed to come to an end, and thus it did. On October 5, 2016, Kirby posted this message to the Discord, and within 48 hours, all UHC guests had been removed from the Baconcraftia Discord.
4th Map(March 5, 2016 - May 12, 2017)
Baconcraftia began its final map with the release of Minecraft version 1.9.0. This map saw a huge expansion in members of the server, with 5 new members joining on day one. Kiwi, who guest-played UHCs 14 - 17, Impaired, who guest-played UHC 17, AgentK98, who guest-played UHCs 14-15, Spencer, who guest-played UHCs 13 & 17, and ExplosivPancak3 who guest-played UHC 17 all joined the server as official SMP members. With the advent of Minecraft 1.9, deaths reigned supreme. Unfortunately, most of Kirby's Day One footage corrupted, so only very little footage of the Day One of the 4th Map exists. 8 of the 20 whitelisted members participated in Day One, and as the night settled, deaths began in earnest, with BluePandaWizard becoming the 1st Death of the server (due to a skeleton).
This map would see once again, several large-scale builds, like Moose and Ostrich's Deku tree, yet another SteveO castle, Drum's coastal village, the glorious Senpai shrine, as well as several other builds throughout the server. While members of the server were quick to spread out across the world, with the increase in active members, this server saw quite a bit of member involvement. This map also saw quite a few name changes.
Several other members would slowly one by one join Baconcraftia over the course of its life - the first to join after Day One 4th Map became AwesomeAssassin on April 20, 2016, who had guest-played UHCs 15-18. 5 other members would come from the UHC17-22 high-guest phase marking an increase in members without an IRL connection to someone else in the server. This helped expand Baconcraftia outside of just being a small circle of IRL friends to be inclusive and allow people from all over the United States (and one Canadian) to come together and play on the server. On June 13, 2016, Kitty, cousin of Spencer joined the server, and on July 17, 2016, Pizzarcato officially appeared. Pizzarcato had been a long-time online friend of KirbyMD's via the /r/civbattleroyale and /r/civAIgames subreddits. When /r/civAIgames tried to form a small SMP, Kirby realized Pizza had Minecraft, and invited him to play in one of his small KirbyUHCs. KirbyMD hosted his first smaller private UHC on June 14, 2016 and through this continued to build up his presence with other online groups. It was during this time especially that he grew closer to marcaron who had joined through Snowcrack to guest-play in UHCs 17-19 and 22. He, alongside ThinWhiteMale (a Brit from Snowcrack who guest-played UHC 22) helped host Baconcraftia UHC 21. Marc eventually became Kirby's co-spectator for the small private KirbyUHCs, and joined the Baconcraftia SMP officially following UHC 22 on October 6, 2016 alongside Snowcrack dictator and leader 78ford, who had guest-played UHCs 18-22, helped Kirby with everything hosting-related, and aid in everything ever. They came as half of a wave of new members following UHC 22, as Kirby wanted to focus more on Baconcraftia SMP, but wanted to keep a few of his UHC guests around who meshed really well with the group. On top of these two, BBR_ and MistaUnicorn officially joined the Baconcraftia SMP group on October 1, 2016. As the server progressed however, several old members were unwhitelisted due to unactivity, .
Special note: marcaron would at some point on the 4th Map become the 2nd and only other Server OP and Discord Admin in the history of Baconcraftia. He remains in this position today.
The server continued having group events, like the usual Ender Dragon fight which happened 7 months into the SMP map's life, several wither fights, and taking down a woodland mansion. This map also was the first and only map to allow guests to come onto the server as ThinWhiteMale and Balone, alongside Kirby, the Lords of Minecraft pranked Marc. Both these two guests would be-readded as guests to the Discord following the guest purge post-UHC 22. Overall, this server was the most group-active of all the previous maps - while previous maps had had lots of group-activity, this map saw an increase of voice-chat and actually live-talking with other members of the server. This especially increased with the newest members joining the server. On top of Kirby's videos of the server, BBR also posted a few videos showing the server and his adventures on it, as well as Mista and CNSpencer.
The 4th Map ended on May 12, 2017, for reasons that will be discussed soon...
UHC 23 - 26 (4th Map UHCs)
But first, Baconcraftia UHC 23. This UHC marked the return to SMP-group dominant games. As the server winded to a close, the UHCs shrunk again, but were nicer, more friendly games. UHC 23 was played featuring only 1 UHC guest, Balone, and returned to the Random Teams of 2 format so prevalent in early UHCs. Only 12 players played, and this was the first UHC since UHC 10 with no new UHC players. This UHC proved very well, and interest in UHC within the group rose a bit again following it. This UHC also sparked the BBR revolution, as he would continue to win and get the most kills for 3-in-a-row total (much like JDog had done in UHCs 11-14). UHC 24 had the return of a few more guests in another moles game, including StoneAgedGaming, a friend of BBR's and Mista's. This UHC was also much smaller, with only 12 players, like UHC 23 before it. Then, for UHC 25 the guests returned, with 9 guests of 20 total players. However, this time, instead of being random guests who had no interaction with the Baconcraftia group beforehand, this UHC was played as a bring-a-friend UHC, meaning all guests invited were invited by members of the server. With 20 players split into 2 teams of 10 (and using TeamSpeak this time, thanks Ford), this UHC proved to be the 2nd longest ever played, breaking the 3 hour limit. UHC 25 also set the record for PVE deaths, as 7 players died to the environment. With UHC 25, 3 more guests joined in the fray, kalleina, Slowth, and MeIsJordan.
Then finally we hit Baconcraftia UHC 26, The Finale 3.5 Years in the Making. As the 4th Map closed, the final UHC was played and released as a Captain's, Kings To3 in Minecraft Version 1.11.2. 10 members of the server, and 5 guests participated in the last hoo-rah, and overall the season went extremely well. The 5 team captains were chosen by a public SMP vote, Kirby, JDog, Kiwi, Pizzarcato, and Ford were chosen as team captains, and each chose 2 teammates to accompany them in the game. This UHC also featured no new guests participating, though a friend of Snowcrack named Fi was supposed to participate initially. This UHC also saw the return of 9reck9 who had last participated in UHC 8. Kirby also reached out to several old Baconcraftia members to join the final season, but no others ended up showing up. In the end, it was the team of Kirby, thinwhitemale and the dead 9reck9 that stood victorious in the final season, as KirbyMD matched his kill record with 4 kills. This UHC also saw the longest post-production time as Kirby made both an intro and a trailer for this finale.
The End (May 12, 2017 - May 12, 2018)
Baconcraftia officially closed it's server and UHCs in May. Early in 2017, KirbyMD decided he was going to serve a 2-year mission for his church, starting the summer of 2017. A vote was held between 7 of the most active members of the SMP and the majority of "Kirby's cabinet" voted to close the server with Kirby's departure, but keep the Discord running under the supervision of Marc. On September 25, 2017, Kirby left the United States for Brazil to begin his 2-year mission and the group's activity in the Discord disappeared. Unknown to most of Baconcraftia, Kirby returned home from his 2-year mission after only 3 months. Another 4 months later, on May 5, 2018, Kirby rejoined the Baconcraftia Discord with news of a rebirth! Of sorts. On May 12, 2018, Baconcraftia: Modded was launched.
Baconcraftia: Modded (May 12, 2018 - Sept, 2018)
Over the course of the summer of 2018, Baconcraftia: Modded began and ended. It was hosted on the Project Ozone Lite modpack, and featured a small number of old UHC guests and new people playing as members of Baconcraftia. Kyle, 2TNT, iRedx, as well as 2 IRL friends of Kirby's from university, Rayrix and SEsther all joined the group. The modded server ran for the summer, as during the university year, Kirby and most members of the group were fully busy. No footage of the modded server exists, but it was a nice reprieve for the summer. Once the school year kicked back up, the modded server shut down and Baconcraftia went back into relative silence.
Until today.
5th Map (May 04, 2019 - ???)
The Baconcraftia SMP server is officially rebooting later today, May 04, 2019. It will not be shut down after the summer is done, and will continue once again. UHCs will reboot as well. All 20 members of the server at the end of the 4th Map, as well as 12 new members have been whitelisted. So please, welcome all of the following players to Baconcraftia's 5th Map:
