Server started for the first time on Spigot version 1.14.4. We spawned near a mountain and decided to build a "temporary" base and did early game stuff. There were 5 players at this point (zerrium, MikeFree21, JourBlock, jager_claudius and Nell).
We entered nether for the first time. At this point both Nell and jager_claudius didn't login to the server and gone, leaving only 3 players playing the server.
MikeFree21 discovered a Skeleton Spawner when he was mining and eventually we built XP farm for preparation to the end (enchanting weapons).
Ferdy joined us and at that time we had 4 players to keep the server going.
Sever was suspended due to zerrium's ISP problem (port for forwarding is not opened).
On 27 Sep, Zerrium transffered the server host to MikeFree21 as zerrium still had ISP problem, but again, MikeFree21 ISP also had problem so in this month the server had no progress at all.
Finally zerrium's ISP problem was solved and we can play again. On this day, MikeFree21 bred 2 villagers to build a villager trading posts (lmao at this point it was not a temporary base anymore, we had many stuff here and it feels more like a main base).
Finally zerrium's ISP speed was upgraded to symmetrical 100Mbps download and upload speed, definitely overpower for hosting such small SMP server.
Server was online for the last day, also only MikeFree21 and JourBlock joined because zerrium was hella busy and Ferdy just disappeared out of nowhere. At this point server was abandoned and Discord server was also lonely and quiet.
INSANE flood disaster, power outage and internet disruption. Zerrium couldn't start the server and leaving it abandoned AGAIN. From this point on, zerrium was hella busy with his office and college stuff and he had hard time to manage his time and schedule.
ANOTHER disaster, COVID-19 pandemic causing zerrium to be unemployed and hella bored at home. MikeFree21 and JourBlock had been waiting for a long time for this server to be back, so we had discussion to be consistent and dedicated to the server (to mitigate the abandon). We agreed to have a regular weekly schedule to play on the server. Yeah, it was abandoned for 6 months!
We continued our preparation to the end to fight the dragon, also we sticked to version 1.14.4 due to unstabble OptiFine 1.15.2. Also at this time, zerrium decided to overclock his server PC to boost some more performance as his friends helped him to afford an OP CPU cooler.
FINALLY we beat ender dragon! At this point we rushed to keep up the server progress because it was abandoned so long. MikeFree21 and JourBlock built enderman XP farm while zerrium broke trhough nether roof bedrock and built high way on top of it. We explored the end city and got elytra wings, shulker shells and some chorus.
We fought an illager raid for the first time and we won. We continued building nether roof high way.
We fought wither for the first time and finally had a beacon.
Zerrium decided to upgrade the server to 1.15.2 as OptiFine at this time was stable and playable. We built iron farm, yesh it was difficult to get it working especially when we had to put a zombie sit inside cauldron to trigger villager panic and have the golems spawn. We also had killed many captain pillagers and didn't get bad omen effect at all. It turned out to be a bug.
MikeFree21 built a working gold farm. Yeay we eat golden carrots as daily meal at this point. Also we explored wood land for the first time, owh man it was REALLY far, 22k blocks away from spawn. By the way, about the bad omen bug, JourBlock suggested zerrium to use /effect command to clear the bad omen issue. Eventually zerrium had to use "/effect @p give minecraft:bad_omen" and the issue gone.
The first Quality of Life update for the server. Zerrium built a simple Java program to extract players statistics on the server and post it to Discord channel, updated everytime the server goes offline.
Second Quality of Life update for the server, zerrium installed an AFK plugin to tell AFK status for each players. Ocean monument raided and we started draining it. JourBlock discovered "3 powers" (pillager outpost, desert temple and desert village located near to each other).
MikeFree21 built wither skull farm as he had found a perfect fortress.
At this point, we were already OP and wealthy. we fought 8 more dragons and have an illager raid from zerrium with bad omen 5 effect. That was a GG illager fight!
Third Quality of Life update for the server, zerrium upgraded the server OS from Ubuntu 19.10 to 20.04LTS. MikeFree21 discovered mesa and mushroom field. We finished the nether roof high way connecting all places.
Fourth Quality of Life update featuring custom skins can be installed on server side, useful for players who don't own original Minecraft copy. Also zerrium migrated from Spigot 1.15.2 to Akarin 1.15.2 as it performed much better with load balanced multi-threading support. Also zerrium renamed this server from OUR to Git Gud.
Hexmont joined for the first time. MikeFree21 and zerrium built a cleric trading post at zombie spawner near ice spike double tundra village. Disaster happened resetting the progress because JourBlock triggered illager raid and it killed the villagers at the post. Hexmont helped us to recover the progress and finished the post today. We also finished draining the ocean monument. Man, it was a HUGE progress for a day!
Fifth Quality of Life update for the server! Featuring TPS monitor (with spark plugin), PlaceholderAPI, CleanMOTD plugin (dynamic MOTD on server list) and TAB plugin (player tab list looked better at this point)
MikeFree21 built Trident farm because he was so frustrated and not lucky to get trident from wild ocean.
This website was launched and officially on air!
Zerrium finished guardian farm at ocean monument. The first Nostalgic Day event, it was fun although it ended up like an anarchy server :v
JourBlock finished building sorted storage room. We hunted for ghast to fight more dragons and eventually at the end of the day we fought the last (20th) ender dragon! At this point, we had nothing else to do and finally zerrium decided to just end this season and the following week will be the last day for the server. All agreed and just start a new season instead for 1.16.
Last day of the server and last Quality of Life update for server (migrating from Akarin 1.15.2 to Paper 1.15.2 because Akarin was heavily outdated). MikeFree21 and zerrium completed some advancements. This day might be disaster for MikeFree21 as he died because of missed aim enderpearl and fell into void while he and zerrium was exploring the end city to get back elytra for JourBlock. Hexmont built a room to store our OP stuff there.
