- Thread: April 2016 Updates
All I can say is this, finally. Fuzzlr, I have played on your server since 2012, don't know if you remember me or not, but, this is an amazing server. In 2012 - 2013(I think), I played happily as an uninformed citizen with my friends. Once they left I slowly lost interest in the server. But, in my return in mid 2015, I realized that this server has and has had a lot of potential. Sadly, until recently, that potential had gone to waste as the player count has slowly but steadily decreased. I can't say that all these threads titled "Make the server great again" or "This server is dying" should be endorsed, but they certainly have their place.
Frankly, this server is a big part of my life. I love MeepCraft, it's a unique server with a great community, and an amazing staff team. It would be not only sad, but plain out depressing to see it fall under. I love to see that there is work (solid steps) being put into the server to make it a better place for all. Until now, I didn't even know anything was under development.
I have seen the hate you've gotten from the community. Especially about the new spawn. While I cannot say that I fully agree that it looks great, I know that it was your choice, and probably thought out. I don't think it's entirely fair to say that it was, "A waste of money". I hate to see you be the butt of so many bad comments. You have saved MeepCraft from a lot. Including saving the server from basically becoming barren from CrueltyGaming's "ideas".
Regarding the player base, I think what some people are saying is right. You need to know your audience. This isn't a minigame server, it isn't a hub server, and it definitely isn't a "big" server. I'm not saying you shouldn't have any minigames at all. But instead focus on two to three minigames and make them top notch. I mean, how appealing is it to come onto a server and see "Hunger Games", but to no avail, there is nobody in the game at all. By far, Infected is the most popular game, which you stated in your post. You should add more elements to this game and scrap others. SkyWars is a great idea. Basically everyone I know who plays minecraft plays skywars. As I have said before, make it top notch
Relating the minigames, sometimes the custom features need to be a little less aggressive. Of course, custom features are fun and innovative, but sometimes nobody wants an awkward feeling skywars (for example). Tying into the player base, most people who play this server are likely looking for something they can work towards. That's kind of the entire point of the economy base. This is about player retention, seeking out people who're looking for a casual minigames server isn't going to benefit us. However, finding people who like a challenge and working from rags to riches would create a viable stimulation in the player count. Back to the custom features, you start with a good idea then build onto it until it's not even itself anymore. I don't want to go into this as much as it's not so relevant anymore.
There are a lot of scrapped ideas or features that I feel the community really liked. The gold trade, one of my favorite features ever implemented on the server, only second to dungeon. It created a great simulated stock exchange. I would like to see this return. Dungeon, dungeon is my favorite thing on meepcraft. Before it was scrapped or "under maitenance", it was such a great and innovative idea. I was really sad to see it go and originally thought it was going to return soon. I don't know exactly what is going on with this. If it's going to be replaced with mobs or if it's coming back. But something similar or dungeon itself (preferably), would be amazing. I know from many people that dungeon was a viable way for people of all stature to make decent money.
Another thing I have noticed is a pattern of unprofessional actions. Such as creating announcements that fail to meet their deadline or basically fall in the cracks. I don't mean to whine about this, but Mobs was planned to release in January (if I'm not mistaken), and it is now April with no public progress. The rank info is also another example, it's less important, but in a way is just as important. If we don't treat all of these matters as important, none of it is going to get done.
I don't want to impose, start a flame war, or upset anyone. This isn't to harm or insult anyone, I just feel some of these may need to be worked on/taken notice of. I love MeepCraft, and always will. Please Fuzzlr, do what is best for the server.
EDIT: I love the new renovations with the shop. You may want to consider removing the witch/silverfish spawners, and maybe the wolf/ocelot spawners. I know a lot of people payed insane amounts of money for wolf and ocelot heads as well as silverfish spawners.
EDIT 2: For the love of god please fix this in the new spawn,Last edited: Apr 4, 2016 -

- Thread: MeepCraft 1.16
MeepCraft 1.16Hello Meepers!
We hope everyone has been doing well with the break away from Meep. On January 2nd, MeepCraft went down to undergo a massive overhaul to bring it to a newer version of Minecraft. Over the past two weeks, staff have put in hundreds of hours in multiple capacities: rebuilding the entire backend infrastructure and servers, configuring plugins, working on the new Spawn, bug testing, and updating the community with information. I am very proud of what this staff team has accomplished between busy work, school, and life schedules.
Today, the team brings Meepers some very exciting news to share with you all! MeepCraft is now on Minecraft version 1.16.4 and will be open to players starting January 15th, 2021 around 8pm EST.
With all of the effort over the past two weeks comes many major changes, bug fixes, new content, and even more to come soon! So let’s dive in to a quick summary of changes:
1.16 & New Server Infrastructure
Of course with the leap from 1.12.2 to 1.16.4 comes all new vanilla features, here are the patch notes for each new version:
As many of you are aware, we have moved Meep’s ability to connect multiple servers together from Lillypad to BungeeCord. We have since fixed bugs and issues such as:
- Major lag
- Being stuck in the void
- Having to spam /warp
- PvP knockback
- Potion delays
- Anticheat lagback
- Issues with /mail
- Firework elytras
New Spawn
After 5 months of building, our spectacular architect team is releasing our 2021 Spawn! It was built by @AdrianIsEpic , @teddypines, @Achrow, @Candy_Master, @Synergizer, @andrewrobins . It was designed to be easy to navigate and contain engaging content for all players.
This spawn contains the following:
- NPC Portals
- Donor Club
- Terrarium
- The Dungeon!
- Splegg
- TNT Run
- Creepers on Ice
- Museum with portals to 2013,14,15,16-20, and 2020 Spawns
- Elytra Course
- Skyblock Island - SkyBlock coming soon!
- Voting leaderboards
- Area for Admin Shop (items coming soon)
- 4 Mazes
- Jukebox music players
- Noteblock Clicker
- Airship (Coming soon)
- Updated donor Rank Info
- Many fun places to explore!
Changes to Towny & The Economy
A couple of changes have been made to towny and towny related worlds:
- Towny border has been expanded to 12,000 blocks to allow chunk generation for new biomes and items. (/warp towns)
- The Resource world has been reset. (/warp resource; /warp wild)
- Towny Nether and End have been reset. The end island built by the community remains intact!
- VIP+ can access the Donor-Exclusive Nether and End in Donor Spawn. (/warp donor; /donor)
- The Dungeon, added back from 2014 Spawn, is a PvP and PvE based gamemode where players enter the dungeon to loot as many chests as possible while being hunted by other players and mobs! (/warp dungeon)
- Fisherman Job has been renamed to Diver.
- /warp jobs has been tweaked to contain more info
- Server broadcasts have been updated
- Everyone now has more sethomes! See CluelessKlutz’s Donor Guide for updated details.
- Player Warps have been overhauled with a new plugin.
- Do /pwarps for a GUI and /pwarp help for a list of commands
- Old Vouchers will no longer work. However, you can trade them in with the villager trader at /warp vouchers to receive working versions.
Other Updates
- Parkour
- New version of the lobby has been released. This new design was built bac during the original revamp but was allocated for another project. We bring it to you in an attempt to require you to warp less and make the gamemodes easier to understand.
- The old progression lobby system has been overhauled.
- Parkour map built by @andrewrobins
- When using /homes or /homeslist, you will now see your homes sorted by world, to make it easier to remember!
- Tab is now combined across servers, showing everyone who is online at the same time.
- Rules
- Our old rules were a bit long and tedious to read. We have a shortened version which will be posted on forums and discord soon.
- Many command changes and updates that the staff team will be happy to help you through.
Looking Into the Future
We would like to give you a look into what you can possibly expect to come to Meep in the coming months.
- Jobs rework: we will be updating jobs to include some of the new blocks, change the balance and synergies of jobs, and make use of some new features in the plugin.
- Minigames: A few days ago, EnergyAssassin polled the community on Discord to see what minigames you would like to see on Meep. If you haven’t already, it is not too late to vote. Currently, Skyblock is in 1st place and Airship is in 2nd place. We are looking into implementing these in the coming weeks. However, that doesn’t mean old favorites will be forgotten!
We would like to hear your ideas, suggestions, and feedback! If you find any bugs or issues please report them as it will help us and all players in the long run!
Thank you for your patience! We cannot wait to see you guys back on Meep!
Cheers,

The Project - API
First of all what is an API and what does it do?
An API is an Application Programming Interface. For the purposes of Meepcraft, one can think of the new API as the Backbone of Meepcraft. All Meepcraft data--teleportations, inventories, chats, etc.--will go through the Backbone. Essentially, it facilitates all data movement throughought the various servers and makes it much easier for techs to develop plugins for Meepcraft.
How will it benefit MeepCraft in the long run having something like this added?
We already have an API but it's all over the place, and super highly coupled. This makes it difficult to upgrade the server as a whole, and it makes it difficult to spin up development test beds for the purposes of testing new plugins properly. The architecture that is used in the old API also promotes bottlenecking--so the hope is that the new API will both reduce lag and decrease development time.
How long would you guess this project has taken you to make?
This project has taken several months. It's been rough to find time to develop the API with school and work IRL, and the API has been carefully crafted so that we don't have to go back and scrap it in the future. This has led to a ton of refactoring. So, a lot of time has been put into making sure that the API is being constructed properly.
Are you happy with the result?
So far so good!
What was one of your biggest obstacles that you were faced with during the creation of this?
Definitely my IRL work has prevented me from working non-stop on this project. I think the biggest obstacle is leaving the project to work on something, and then coming back and trying to re-learn what I'd already programmed.
Is there anything else you’d like to add?
Hopefully we'll see a large influx of brand-new plugins soon! We've put quite a bit of effort in to make sure this is done right.
Story-time with the Crew ft. A short story by @smk
“Mom, w-what’s wrong?”
“Ica, you are Special, you won’t be safe anywhere until we can afford to get you to the Haven.”
“It’ll be okay, Mom”
I laugh when I look back at those moments. As an ignorant 7 year old living on the outskirts of the most dangerous city in the United States, consoling my mother that everything would be alright.
My Awakening had happened on my 7th birthday. Most Special people don’t see signs of their skills until they are 18, and that is the reason so many Special people survive past their teens. With my skills becoming apparent at such a young age, I didn’t have a chance to prepare for the rest of my life. Instead of seeing signs of this in the beginning of your teens and training for survival until they can reach the Haven. So we’ll leave it at this: My childhood wasn’t very easy.
I was 17 at this point. A lot had happened since my Awakening. For the first thing, I had to adopt a new religion.
The evidence that gives away Specials is the shoulders. Signs such as seizures and fainting can make it apparent as well, but these are much less frequent and are usually not caught. But the shoulders.
Our shoulders glow like a single match in a pitch black room. Three notches line diagonally across our shoulders and give off a distinct light. Unfortunately for anybody Special, society has adopted shoulder-less clothing as the new fashion statement. To be seen with a shouldered-shirt ensured that people already suspected you of being Special. The only way to keep safe was to hide my shoulders, so I joined the most prudent church there was so that I had valid reason to cover my shoulders.
In the name of Skahli, I joined the Old Church, and this religion is actually insane.
It is required that you attend a 30 minute Hearing where you listen to their Apostle ramble on about the supreme fight to remain modest. The Old Church and Skahli is the equivalent of a Christian Hell.
But despite all of the garbage they call a religion, I joined so I had valid reason to cover my shoulders.
Most 17 year old girls have to worry about assault or worse while living outside a dangerous city, but my worry was much worse.
Special people were hated more than any other group in previous history. It is widely accepted in the United States that any Specials captured outside of the Haven are legally allowed to be killed or treated as property.
Inside the Haven, everything is perfect. With the newest advancements in technology, and the best law system in the world, 99.8% of the Specials living in the Haven die of natural causes.
Compared to the 30% death rate of infants since the removal of doctors on the outside, and the loss of the family unit, the Haven was the last humane place on the planet. And the only way to get in was to be Special, and I was.
My mother died when I was 15. A man shot her with a pistol while we were walking home from school to see if there was any money in her purse that he could take. I held my dying mother in my arms, and vowed by the name of Skahli to kill the man.
It took me a week, but I had finally prepared for the massacre. In my bag I had packed food, water, one change of clothes, and all the money my mom had saved for trying to get me to the Haven. By this point I had already begun to master the skill that made me Special: translucency.
I left the small apartment and found the man. He was in a knife fight with another male. Silently, I let them finish, and my man had been victorious. As he searched the man for a wallet, I whistled from behind him to get his attention.
He turned around, and I plunged my knife into his stomach. He could not see me. The look on his face was one of extreme disbelief. With a twist, I left the knife 6 inches in this man while I watched him die. Nothing in my life so far had made me more satisfied.
My mother had protected me, against all odds, for the better part of 8 years. At 16 years old you are able to enter the Haven if you are Special, so my time was coming.
As we can currently tell from the fact I am writing this story, I have not yet made it to the Haven, and I still have a long way to go.
I had become a prominent member of the Church, and my coverup was beginning to become a hindrance. As a girl, I could not become an Apostle in the Church, but I was already the next best (worst) thing: the Holy Mother.
I was praised and worshipped.
According to the word of Skahli, the Holy Mother was meant to stay at the Church at all times, and that had made escaping without notice much harder.
By this point, I had already begun to realize that this was not a Church, this was a cult. The ideals of our Apostle rules over all of the members. To leave is to die. To disobey their laws is to subject yourself to slavery.
So attempting to leave was essentially signing my death certificate if I were to be caught. But today was the day, and I was prepared.
I was currently living in the “Holy Room” of the Church, which gave me privacy from the other inhabitants, but also put me smack in the middle of the cult’s land.
I climbed out the window. When I turned the corner to enter the Main Street, I bumped straight into a follower. He fell backwards, and I went translucent; but it was already too late. He had seen me, and had already recognized me before I could go translucent.
But everything is different. While I’m translucent, physical objects don’t have such a hold on a body as in the real world. Underneath the boys robe, I could see his shoulders. They glowed a vibrant shade of blue.
Humans of MeepCraft ft. @AFreakingCookie1
How did you find Meepcraft?
Hmm, that's a hard one. Well, I remember when me and my brother found out about servers we joined a bunch, and Meepcraft was one of those. I started to play meepcraft and found it was much better than other servers.
What world do you spend the most time in?
Towns. I have always dreamed of being a successful inventor and millionaire in real life and in towns I can replicate that.
How did you choose your minecraft username?
I was watching a streamer I like and he asked the chat what he should change his name to, and everyone said "Afreakingcookie." so I changed my own discord name to Afreakingcookie and when I got my new minecraft account I made that my name.
What are some things you like about owning your town Cookieville?
I love being the boss of things and customizing my stuff the way I want, and with a town I can do that.
What's one of your favorite memories from your time on Meep?
One of them has to be when Fuzzlr did one of his gold drop parties.
Those drop parties were really fun! Any other memories?
When I got vip for free, and when andrewrobins got me exclusive.

Looking Back - 2017
2017 was quite a year! As we move on into the new year, it is often fun to look back on the previous year. Meepcraft has been fortunate enough to have a consistent and dedicated staff team, some of which have moved on, some who continue in their roles to better the server. With that in mind, here is a full list of everyone who has participated in the Meepcraft staff team in the last year! (Apologies ahead of time in case somehow anyone was missed, just message someone and you'll be added as swiftly as possible)

Storytime with the Crew - Hornemans’ Dinner Disturbance
/warp hornemans was a busy place. The 6th Anniversary of MeepCraft had encouraged @Fuzzlr and @Cooleysworld to host a dinner party, with most of the online server attending. @ImPaw looked around and saw a happy, cheerful environment; diamonds being dropped, food being served and jokes being spread. Many people were there – @Proteker, @Epixaid, @MegaStufOreo, @NinjaRoxy, @OKNEM, @CluelessKlutz, even @Kling made an appearance. It was a great time for the people of MeepCraft, and no one would slow the party down.
The party moved to /warp waterpark – players enjoyed the thrill of boating down the waterslide, then doing it all again. More items were dropped at /warp elytra – inventories upon inventories of diamond tools courtesy of Epixaid. And all of this upon the watchful eye of Hornemans – sitting quietly in the hot air balloon near /warp elytra, he radiated disgust watching players jumping up and down to collect the items. “What filth. They think they can celebrate MeepCraft’s anniversary without me? That ridiculous Fuzzlr is giving away free Nutcrackers to undeserving players! Just you wait, I’ll show them how to celebrate.”
Flying down to the jungle area beside the party, he set up an elaborate redstone mechanism – dispensers, repeaters, and water buckets. He bought his materials from vShop – the quick and easy command of /buy was easily accessible to him. At last, the machine was done. He chuckled – no one was going to see this coming. Millions of gear, lost to clear lag, just like that.
But someone was going to see it coming. Paw, who had been happily celebrating with everyone else, noticed something peculiar in chat – her goods on vShop being bought by Hornemans. Hornemans? she thought. Isn’t he banned? She decided to check with a mod.
After a quick check, @Kling, also attending the party, found where Hornemans was buying his goods from. Teleporting in, he brought Paw with him to explore the area. This can’t be good, thought Kling. Buying dispensers, repeaters, and water buckets? There’s only one thing you can make with those three items.
Paw, standing behind a tree, called Kling over. Peering out, she saw Hornemans working quickly on a machine of his devise – and Paw recognized it instantly.
“It’s a TNT cannon! We need to warn everyone!” whispered Paw, perhaps a bit too loudly, as Hornemans turned swiftly to face their location. Paw and Kling suddenly hid back behind the tree, holding their breaths. Hornemans shook his head, and went back to the machine.
“Okay, you go back to /warp elytra, I’ll catch Hornemans,” replied Kling.
“You gonna be okay? This is Hornemans we’re talking about,” expressed Paw, clearly concerned.
“I’ll be fine, mate. Go back and warn them!”
Paw hastily went back to /warp elytra to warn the others. Kling, on the other hand, slowly crept up to behind Hornemans. Drawing his sword, he held it up, preparing to swing. Hornemans, sensing something behind him, instinctively drew his sword and held it up, blocking Kling’s blow. The two stepped apart, and Hornemans smiled.
“Kling! How good it is to see you. It’s been a while, hasn’t it?”
“You’re supposed to be banned! How did you get back in here, you bloody monster?” Kling questioned.
“You were only a VIP when I saw you last, and now look at you – a SuperMod! I guess I owe you a congratulations, then.”
“What are you doing, Hornemans? What’s the machine?”
“You already know what it is, Kling. A TNT cannon. You see those players up there?” He pointed to the party.
“They’re my friends, mate.”
“Well, they’re gone now.”
And with that, Hornemans lunged towards the lever, to fire the cannon.
“NO!” shouted Kling, diving in the way of his hand, tackling him to the ground, putting him just out of reach. The two tussled on the ground, weapons out of the equation.
“You… can’t… stop… the… inevitable!” shouted Hornemans, struggling against Kling’s strength.
“We can have a good time while it lasts. And we don’t need you…” Kling raised his sword. “…to spoil it for us.”
The sword came down. Everything was in slow motion. Hornemans’ face expressed raw fear, Kling’s expressed integrity, and vengeance. Just as the sword was about to connect with flesh, another one came out and blocked the blow. Kling looked up in shock at the wielder – Cooleysworld.
“This one doesn’t deserve to be killed. He deserves worse.”
Kling relaxed. The others got the message – Paw had made it.
“I’ll take it from here, Kling. Thanks for your help in catching this criminal.”
He released Hornemans, still in fear, and handed him over to Cooleys. They walked a short distance and warped away.
Paw came running back to the clearing. “Kling!” she shouted. “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine, mate. Just fine. Come on, let’s get back to the celebrations. I heard they were dropping Nutcrackers just now..?”
They both bolted back to /warp elytra. The party was still well under way – Fuzzlr dropping Vote Keys, Epixaid dropping tools, and Viper dropping cobble.
Paw smiled. MeepCraft’s days were not over just yet.
Happy Birthday, MeepCraft! From the author - @OKNEM
Humans Of MeepCraft - Feat. @Akira Wolven
What inspired your name?
I love cats and wolves so that just had to be a part of my name. I also find puns really funny and when I renamed my account I wanted to keep that a part of it, so that’s why I chose my username.
What do you enjoy the most about the server?
The Towny world. Owning towns and meeting new players in this part of meep is extremely fun
Currently, you are a co-mayor of Mistveil. What is it like being a part of such a well-built and respected town?
It’s amazing I love being part of Mistveil! Owning the modern district is so much fun as I can build to my heart's content while providing a place for players to keep all their valuables and contribute to the town.
What kind of things do you enjoy outside of the server?
I enjoy drawing, reading, and playing archery as a sport.
What kind of things are you looking forward to both in the new year, and the sixth year of Meep?
Meeting new players, making new friends and watching the community grow even more! Any of course building more xD
Anything else you’d like to add?
I’d also like to thank all the Meepcraft staff for always helping out however they can

The Project - Minigame Maps!
What are the Minigame Maps?
Minigame maps have been the main focus for the architect team over the past few weeks, this week’s The Project will focus on three of the new maps: Chernobyl (Infected), Moria (CTF) and Castle (CTF).
Chernobyl is the latest infected map, inspired by the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster. Following the theme of the existing infected maps, this map is in a state of ruins after the world became infected with the deadly virus.
Moria is one of the new CTF maps! It is a large, underground map inspired by the mines of Moria from the famous LOTR trilogy. At the ends of the map lie the flags that both teams desperately want to capture, but surrounding the flags and all across the map are pools of lava! Be careful not to fall in!
Castle is another new CTF map, structured similar to Ice and Moria with two castles at either end, each containing a flag. Surrounding these two castles is lush green grass, trees scattered around and several bodies of water. A beautifully built map, Castle is sure to impress all who play it!

Who’s been working on it?
- @xAlexBearx and @0zblox have been working together on Chernobyl.
- @Zarduck has been working on Moria.
Over the past week questions have been sent off to some of the key people involved in this project. Using their answers, let’s get some insight on this week's project - Minigame Maps!
What was your role?
My role with 0zblox was to create a new infected map that would excite infected players. - @xAlexBearx
My role so far has been to create a CTF map. - @Zarduck
My role so far has been working on a new infected map with Alex. - @0zblox
What was your experience working on your maps?
Although we haven't finished yet, there was a lot done so that we can not only prepare but make a successful map. Because the new infected map is based on a past disaster, we had to take some time to look up information and pictures on everything. With every build we make, we strive to keep it as authentic as possible. - @xAlexBearx
Overall I had a good experience making my mini map although they are time consuming and take real effort they do have a worthwhile payoff of a great finished product. - @Zarduck
I have really enjoyed creating my maps so far. Although I am used to working alone, creating the infected map alongside alex has been great. In addition to the building, a really interesting part is looking into the images and information before I begin to build as we strive to keep builds as authentic and realistic as possible dependant on the theme. I have not been an architect on Meepcraft for very long now but I feel like I am really happy with what I have accomplished in the time I have been an architect. - @0zblox
Did you enjoy working on them?
I really do, and I think 0z does as well! It's been fun working with him and steadily working towards a common goal. - @xAlexBearx
I greatly enjoyed making it yes it was fun and worthwhile. - @Zarduck
How do you think these new maps will affect the server and general gameplay?
What I think will be interesting about this map is it'll combine aspects of the old and bring in some of the new. The map will be very varied and will have many distinct parts. It'll be an experience that's new to all players, but it will also be consistent with the themes of the other maps. The map will be pretty large, but it'll be less concentrated and more focused on levels too. - @xAlexBearx
I think that they will improve the gameplay as new, fresh things always bring new life to the server so i think it's all positive. - @Zarduck
New is always positive and to see a team work as hard as they do makes for a bright future. - @andrewrobins
I think that players will really enjoy the maps I have and will share with them because of the style and uniqueness I (or we) have created. Even though I have only worked on two maps so far as architect, I feel like I have already made a great contribution to the community. - @0zblox
Can you rate your maps out of 10 and why you scored it that way.
I think a 10 because from a creating standpoint it was very fulfilling to do research and to prepare yourself before the project. From a player's standpoint I think it'll be exciting to see all the new things that this map will offer. - @xAlexBearx
Id rate my map an 8 probably because I've seen plenty of people thoroughly enjoy exploring it and looking at it but i also want to be modest lol. - @Zarduck
Although I think my maps are amazing so far, I can’t rate them a 10/10 because there is always room for improvement but that doesn't stop me giving them a 9.9/10 - @0zblox
Do you have anything you would like to add?
I can't wait for everyone to see the new map! - @xAlexBearx
Architecture in Minecraft is very much based on personal build styles. Each architect brings a new outlook and a new way of building to the team. In the mini-games realm, this really shows in the depth some maps can take on. I'm excited to see what people think of the infected map 0z and Alex have worked on when it is released. It's great to see how two building styles and builders can make something that will be enjoyed by our community, and look amazing. - @L0stCleric
- @Zarduck
As I have only worked on two maps so far, I struggle to really pick one that is my favourite. So I chose both for different reasons. My first map I enjoyed because I thought outside the box, and tried something quite risky that had all the potential to fail, I am pleased it worked well and I think it has made a great first impression for my role as architect. I have also enjoyed creating the second map with Alex which was equally as fun. I have never really had the opportunity to build something on such a scale with somebody else. We could collaborate our ideas to produce a brilliant map which I am sure you will enjoy. - @0zblox
Storytime with the Crew - Halo
The sun was shining over the town of Legend, its many residents going about their business and working towards improving and building in their hometown. It was a great feat, one of many on Meepcraft, and the residents were proud of all they have achieved.
Yet, as the Mayor walked through this town to rest for a short while in his house, Legend was the last thing on his mind. The upcoming Halo tournament was only a couple of days away and he was itching to get started. Things didn’t always happen the way he wanted; for instance, he’d hired a co-mayor that was intent on blowing up his house, some people still didn’t accept that Star Wars was one of the greatest things of all time, and he was the resident fun police. However, after all that, he was pretty good at Halo if he said so himself. And if he didn’t say so himself, the leaderboard said it for him.
CluelessKlutz was more than just the Mayor of the most successful town on Meep, he was the current Halo champion. With being the Halo champion, the upcoming events would determine whether he would stay that way, or if the other top players could knock him down a peg or two.
The door creaked slightly as Clueless stepped into his house, almost collapsing onto a purpur chair by the table. He was always off doing something or other so a little peace and quiet was always apprecia-BOOM.
Clueless sighed.
***
In the recent months, Clueless had been grinding halo to make sure his technique and quick-thinking were up to scratch. He may be at the top but he couldn’t get complacent, and the best way to do that was to spend a couple of hours in the arena. Lady_Hestia and Smkorpi were there to keep him company, testing his wits, and as Clueless was vaporised once more he groaned with frustration. Hestia had got him from behind, he’d let his guard down for a split second.
“Come on, slowpoke!”, she shouted from the other side of the room, hidden slightly behind a stone brick pillar.
Clueless spotted Smkorpi from his spawn point and quickly pulled his sniper rifle round to hit him twice while he wasn’t looking, earning himself some points and a vaporised Smkorpi. However, Hestia had moved from behind the pillar and was nowhere to be seen. She was good at dancing around players, sneaking behind them and obstacles in order to find the best angle. Suddenly, he was hit from behind and struck with a blow from Hestia’s sword.
“Wake up, Clue!” Hestia was laughing to herself, it wasn’t like Clueless to be so absent-minded. As he respawned again, watching Smkorpi obliterate Hestia, he bent his knees and jumped into the rafters, keeping close to the walls and using tunnels to avoid his foes. He caught a glimpse of a red and orange piece of cloth disappearing round the corner in front of him and raced in pursuit. Clueless switched to his sword and managed to get some more points by taking Hestia down before she could even turn around.
“That’s more like it”, he said to himself. Clueless looked to the leaderboard and saw Viperfan17 had joined the game not long before it was ending. He could get a few more kills under his belt. He was more of a close-combat sort of player, preferring his sword. This meant Clueless had the upper-hand as long as he didn’t get too close.
Quickly dispatching Hestia once again after spotting her sneaking up on Smkorpi, he made his way round the room, dodging grenades and gunfire. He managed to get the one-up on Smkorpi and turned him to dust, hearing him respawn on the other side of the room with a “damn”.
Viperfan had seen Clueless and tried to run towards him, holding his sword tightly; however, Clueless was quicker and shot twice into the other player’s chest in quick succession. Then he did the same again as Viper respawned not far away.
As Hestia was pronounced the winner of that round and the players were warped to another arena, Clueless shook his head at himself and made his way out into the new area. Cracking his knuckles and gripping his sniper rifle, he stealthily walked around the obstacles and kept to the shadows. He looked for any sort of movement. The sandstone map left little room to hide so Clueless used the stone and jumped quickly to avoid being hit.
He thrived on this map and quickly worked his way to the top of the leaderboard, racking up 20 kills in the first minute. Smkorpi wasn’t too far behind, with Hestia and Viper bringing up the rear in the battle for third place. Since this was his favourite map, Clueless easily scored enough points to be declared the winner of the round, he had dominated the field.
After his easy win, the players were warped into a map straight out of the Nether for the last game. The rules disallowed grenades on this map, which made things a little easier for dodging projectiles but also meant the players had no advantage of a secondary weapon. This caused its own problems for Viper and Hestia, who both used their main and secondary weapons interchangeably.
Smkorpi was grinning from ear to ear, he absolutely loved this map so automatically played better and had the tactics to fit the environment. Clueless knew this so he made sure to keep an eye on Smkorpi at all times, not letting him out of his sight. The map was dim and Clueless used this to his advantage, keeping up with Smkorpi and using it to kill both Hestia and Viper numerous times. This got the kill numbers going sky-high, and Smkorpi and Clueless were neck and neck, matching one kill for another.
“Oh my god, it’s so hot in here.” Hestia stopped quickly to catch her breath and got struck by Viper’s sword, respawning on the other side of the map. “Damn. Good move.” She rarely let her guard down but Hestia had been playing with Clueless for hours and she was getting tired, so she stuck to trying to sneak up on people, succeeding often.
In the meantime, Viper was being strategic and while Clueless and Smkorpi were fighting each other, he was swinging his sword after they’d been hit once and finishing them off. This meant his kills were racking up too, so it was making for a close match. Viper had quickly caught up to be in with a chance of winning the round by using this.
It wasn’t long before the lead was switching and changing between all of them, Hestia had found a second wave of energy and was back up to her usual standards. For Clueless, this made a good match for him, he liked the close-knit scores. He knew it would make for a good show at the tournament, but this also meant he would not be guaranteed the win. As it turns out, due to it being his favourite map and his enthusiasm for the game, Smkorpi actually ended up winning the round, much to his satisfaction.
“This tournament’s going to be fun, hey Clueless.” He winked, reloading his sniper before the next round.
“Yes, it certainly will be. It will make for an exciting show anyway. Viper was on form in the last round.” Clueless looked towards Hestia who had left the arena to get into the cool air, the last round being her final one for the day.
“Playing again, Ck?” Viper asked as Epixaid and MasterofBoom walked into the lobby.
“No, you guys have fun.” Himself and Hestia decided to leave the game, both out of breath. They stood in the halo lobby, looking at doubles of themselves in the top players area.
“That was a close call.” he smiled at Hestia.
“Well, I’m not slowing down just because you are! Pick up the pace, noob.”
“Yeah, I probably should. It’s not long to go now, I should probably practice more-” He turned back towards the free-for-all warps but Hestia caught his arm.
“Relax, Clue. You’ve already been in there for hours, let’s just take some time off. You’ll wear yourself out and then you’ll lose on the day. Which actually would be pretty good for me, I’d only have to deal with Epixaid, really.”
“I suppose a break wouldn’t be so bad, I could come back later.” Hestia smiled and they made their way out to spawn, walking over to the Towny warp and disappearing into it.
They walked through Legend spawn, making their way back over to Clue’s house, smiling at fellow residents as they went.
“Adrian, put that down! Now!” Clueless rolled his eyes and Hestia smiled when they heard Ellie’s shout.
“Do you want me to deal with that?” Hestia asked, turning to look towards Ellie’s house.
“That would be amazing.”
With the tournament looming closer and every player in the top 10 having a chance of taking home the final prize, Clueless was feeling a little less confident.
Look out for Part 2 in the next Meeptimes!

Humans Of MeepCraft - Feat. @OKNEM
How did you first find Meep?
Well, I was scoping around on the internet for a ctf server, and I came across Meep. I logged on and the community was great, so I decided to stay and enjoy some other activities.
What’s your favorite part about the server?
I think my favorite part is the towny. It’s a great way to connect with the community by playing together and building together, and you can do all sorts of things in one world. Also, the parkour is great. #bringbackplanetparkour
What is the best parkour map?
City’s the one I’ve known for the longest, and I like that one. I like Chillroom the most. The amount of effort put into that map is amazing, and it’s certainly very challenging to beat. Also, Cactus is horrible with Australian internet. xD Edit: The hardest is Ck’s Evil Parkour
Which Star Wars movie do you like the most?
Surprisingly, I have seen all of them, and I gotta say, A New Hope is the best. The new three ruined the series, but I’m looking forward to the Last Jedi and Episode XI coming out soon.
If you were to pick only one holiday to celebrate, what would it be, and why?
My birthday, it’s a great time to relax and do something to enjoy, and I get to do whatever I want for the whole day! In fact, my birthday’s on the 10th, and I’m gonna go see a movie with my friends
Anything else you’d like to add?
Can I ask you a question?
Yea - @CluelessKlutz
Where did you come up with the name “CluelessKlutz?”
I actually played as kcschmidt for a few months, then I tried flower parkour and knew it must be changed to this. - @CluelessKlutz

Welcome to The MeepTimes, the twice-monthly update to keep the community in the loop with what’s new, behind the scenes, and in the works. This will be published every other Friday.
Community Events
Ukicorn’s Birthday Party
In the town of Celestite, @GhostlyStar decided to host a surprise birthday party for her friend. Getting together as many people as possible, all in disguises, she brought Uki into the house, where suddenly everyone un-disguised, and yelled, “Happy birthday!” See images from the party here.
Legend Capitol Explosion
Whenever @AdrianIsEpic is involved, you know something is going to blow up. On Tuesday the 23rd, he took this mindset to the Legend town spawn, and hosted an explosion party for the entire server. See images of the carnage here.
Storytime with the Crew - The Under Water Rescue!
‘Twas a dark and stormy night. The skies clapped violently with thunder and lightning, as the rain poured endlessly onto the city streets. Julious, a young villager, aimlessly walked the streets, unsure of what to do. His friend and brother, Julious had been missing for countless days and it was beginning to take toll on Julious's mind, worrying the worst.
Julious's worries shone clearly on his face and anyone who passed by could clearly see something was troubling this poor young villager. However no one stopped to ask what was wrong, leaving Julious feeling more alone and unable to find hope.
Days had past and Julious went into the Village to seek help, he thought to himself ‘surely someone can help me!’ As he wandered through the town, something occurred to him, there is one person who can find someone to help, “Mayor Meep!” Julious whispered to himself. And so off he went in search of the mayor to plead for his help.
It didn’t take long to find him and as he approached he could only hope that this was the answer to finding his friend.
“Mayor Meep, sir, i have come to request a favour,” Julious proclaimed anxiously.
“What is it my child, i can see something troubles you,” Mayor Meep asks instantly noticing the worry that laces Julious's face.
“My friend Declan has been missing for countless days, he was only meant to be gone for a day or two on a underwater dive, but i fear something has happened to him and i was wondering if you would be able to help,” Julious begged.
“Ah, i see, i will find a brave soul to go search for your friend and i will send them to you!” Mayor Meep proclaimed.
***
Fred, a young adventurous villager, briskly walked through the town in search of a new adventure. He walked around and asked his fellow townsmen if they had any quests and adventures that he could perform.
Hours had passed and night was starting to set on the town, young Fred was losing hope of finding his adventure he seeked. He walked past the Mayor's house and a thought stuck him, if anyone would have a adventure surely the Mayor would!
Fred calmly walked up to the Mayor and asked, “Excuse me sir, may i borrow a moment of your time?”
Mayor Meep looked at Fred and Smiled, “Of course, what can i do for you this evening?” He asked Fred.
“Well, you see i am looking for a adventure, a quest, something that will make me think and help someone!” Fred answered excitedly.
Mayor Meep paused, “Ah, i see, you are in luck, i have something that might interest you. Another Villager came to me today about their friend who has been missing for a few days, and are in search of a brave individual to locate their friend, are you interested?”
“Of course what do i need to do?” Fred asked.
“Go speak to Julious for more information on the missing case of Declan, you can find him in the tavern! Good luck!” Mayor meep explained.
Fred set off, excited for this new adventure. He reached the tavern quickly and soon found Julious.
“Hello, Mayor Meep sent me about you friend, i am here to help you,” Fred explained to Julious.
“Hi! You must help me! My best friend is missing, he was going on a underwater dive and never returned! The only person i knew he would have spoken to is the boat guide!” Julious exclaimed to Fred.
Fred could see the worry and sadness that Julious was feeling for his lost friend and vowed to locate Declan and re-unite the two no matter the cost.
“Don’t worry, I will find your friend, and the next time you see me i will be bringing him back to you! I promise,” Fred promised to Julious who weakly smiled back.
As Fred was leaving the tavern in search of the boat guide on the docks he could only hope he could find Declan for Julious and that he could keep his promise. Fred walked down the old wooden path towards the Boat guides stall. Once he got there he greeted the tradesman and explained why he was there.
“Hi. Oh you’re looking for Declan, yea I gave him a boat, if you can give me an Empty Map and a piece of Coal I can draw you a map!” The boat guide explained to Fred who thanked the man and left to go in seek of the items.
It didn’t take him long to return after checking his supplies and going on a quick mining expedition to find some iron, he returned to the boat guide with the requested items.
“Here are what you requested,” Fred said.
“Thank you! Here is your map!” The boat guide exclaimed.
The map that Fred was given, sent him in the direction of a new part of town, on the opposite side of the Football pitch. Once he got there he saw a fisherman, he approached the man, “Hello, you don't happen to know about a missing villager named Declan who went on a diving expedition a few days ago?” Fred asked hopefully.
“I’m sorry I don’t know anything about him, but maybe the Captain lance, Pirate of the seas does!” The fisherman answered and then quickly returned to his fishing.
Fred knew exactly where to find Captain Lance, he soon approached the pirate whom had found himself a swimming pig to ride. Baffled by what he saw, Fed asked the captain if he has seen Declan.
“I not know what ye speak of! But maybe if i had meself some riches i might be able to remember me self something” The captain answered disorientated.
Confused Fred asked what the Captain wanted, and he demanded to have 10 golden nuggets. Fred went to his vault to gather the gold and returned to the captain, “Here is your gold, now please tell me what you know,” Fred demanded.
“Arrrr yes i remember! He was going in the direction of an underground dungeon he was. No one goes there the coordinates of the tunnel are 307, 58, -65,” The pirate informed Fred.
Intrigued by the news Fred set off in the directions of the tunnels, he found himself going down a water passage and past a lost looking villager named Quint, unsure of what was past the water, Fred set off ready to face anything. Once he entered the cave, he instantly saw a disheveled villager in the corner guarded by a intimidating, ghastly creature, as he approached he recognized it to be the Sea Witch, a creature no one thought existed.
Once he was close enough that the creature noticed its eyes flew open with rage and it let out a bellowing scream, “AGHHHHHHH GET OUT LEAVE! YOU CAN NEVER DEFEAT ME!! THE ONLY THING THAT CAN EVER KILL ME IS THE SEA KINGS MIGHTY SWORD!”
Fred stumbled back startled by the outburst tripping on what appeared to be a rock in the process, as was falling he noticed he seemed to be going down a stream. As he reached the end he looked around and gasped at the underground tunnels he had stumbled across. As he gazed and explored the cavern with his eyes he noticed a Villager to his right and decided to go talk to him and ask if he knew of the sea king. Once he got closer to the man Fred noticed that the man was actually the Sea King and gasped in surprise.
“Erm, excuse me, er Your Majesty?” Fred stuttered.
“You want my sword i see? I will give it to you on one condition, bring me some food other than fish! I’m so sick of it!” The sea King exclaimed shocking Fred, how could it be this man knew what he was after.
Fred quickly reached into his supplies and brought out some cooked meat as a offering to the king, “Here sir, i hope this is suffice.”
“Thank you! Here is the weapon!” The Sea King replied handing the player the weapon.
Fred thanked the king and headed back towards the witch determined to defeat her and return Declan to Julious.
Once he approached the sea witch he showed her the sword and she screamed in outrage, “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DON’T KILL ME PLEASE I WILL DO ANYTHING! I SURRENDER!”
Fred was surprised by this, but didn’t argue and quickly rushed towards Declan eager to return him to his friend. Once he reached Declan he quickly explained why he was here and that it was his friend Julious whom had sent him.
“Thank you for finding me, can you please help me get back to julious?” Declan asked.
“Of course, the way back is this way,” Fred guided.
As they headed back the joy Fred felt for the fact that he had found and completed a actual mission was overwhelming.
Once they reached the tavern he ushered Declan inside only to be greeted by a young villager running at them, “Declan!!” Julious screamed, “You are okay!”
Smiling at the sight Fred decided it was best he left and started for the door, “Wait!” someone cried from behind him, startled Fred turned around only to be greeted by a smiling Declan. “I don’t know how i will ever repay you! Here take this as my thanks!” Declan exclaimed handing over the gold. Surprised Fred thanked Declan and stumbled out of the tavern and headed home.
Mayor Meep watched the exchange from a distance and smiled, a new happy ending to add to his stories, The Underwater rescue, and the birth of a new Adventurer!
If you enjoyed this story, go speak to Mayor Meep in towns and complete the quest today!
Experience what young Fred went through and get your meeble prize!
Humans Of MeepCraft - Feat. @Sammoth_Mammoth
How did you first find the server?
My friend, @TimothyJH , asked me to come on, and I immediately loved the server due to the kind community.
Where did your name come from?
My name came from my elementary school nickname by the same name. The origin of that is from my name, Thomas, which is Samoth backwards. It sounded similar to “sammoth.” I was also a little chubby at the time, and mammoth rhymes with Sammoth, so I became Sammoth Mammoth.
What’s your favorite thing to do on the server?
My favorite thing to do is play on Towny and help people out because it makes me happy to see others enjoying themselves.
You’re currently a recruiter in the town of Legend, what is it like being in the largest town on the server?
Being in the best town on the server (shameless plug) is absolutely fantastic because I get to help so many people out, whether it be finding someone a plot, or spending ten hours building four walls.
How do you find secret spots in spawn?
I find secret spots in spawn because that’s my second favorite thing to do on the server: explore! And, see what I can find. I mean, did anyone ever say, “Leaving this place only half explored makes me feel satisfied.” Of course not!
Who is the best Jedi in Star Wars?
Mace Windu, because he has a purple/pink lightsaber, and the internet agrees with me! (search it up, he appears first on the list)
Anything else you would like to add?
Join Legend, and uh . . . give me all yo moneys, thank you!
Welcomes and Farewells
Congratulations to @Zarduck on being accepted for architect trials and to @Shellcode for being accepted back onto the tech team!

Spawn is now decorated for the coming holidays! To celebrate, a Easter egg hunt was hosted in spawn, and @Kling won 75k, @Acceleradiance won 50k, and @Epixaid won 20k for being the first three to find the 12 eggs.
T3k’s Legendary Drop Party
One Monday afternoon, while playing with potions (again!), the resident admin decided to host a drop party at /t spawn Legend. Vote keys, diamonds, gold blocks, diamond blocks, special tools, and all the other goodies fell from above as players competed to be the first to pick them up. See images here.
Muunkee's Wild Chest Hunt
Giving away over a million Meebles in gold, Muunkee hid multiple stashes in Wild, and posted the coordinates to reach them. Players found these in under an hour, much to her dismay. See details here.
Storytime with the Crew
Once upon a time in a land much different from ours, a land where eggs and people are equal, Ellie, queen of the eggs, sat speaking to her subjects in the great hall of her castle.
Her voice was gentle yet firm, smooth yet powerful, stern yet fair. Her majesty commanded authority from those she ruled over, and had no tolerance for disobedience. However, she was very lenient with her subjects, imposing few laws other than simply to maintain peace in the land. Beside Queen Ellie and 2nd in command, was her most loyal adviser, Saltknight. Salt helped Ellie with everything she ever needed. Outside of their work relationship, they were also great friends and knew everything about each other, or so they thought.
Little to Salt’s knowledge, Ellie had an incredible secret; she was in the possession of a magical golden egg containing immense power. The egg had been protected by the rulers of the kingdom for centuries, and was extremely powerful. It had the potential to provide greatness if in the right hands, but utter destruction if in the wrong hands. Ellie, scared of its potential, had never told anyone of its existence. It wasn’t until one day when Salt was helping Ellie clean the castle, that he accidentally stumbled upon the golden egg. Salt felt betrayed, the person he trusted most had been keeping secrets from him. He was furious and took off from the castle . . . along with the golden egg.
***
Salt ran for what seemed like forever, trying desperately to get away from the place he once loved. He felt angry, sad, and most of all betrayed.
Feet sore and legs aching, Salt arrived at a cave on the land’s borders, a place he usually came to for some peace and quiet.
“How could she not tell me about this? She was my best friend!” Salt asked himself in despair. In his struggle to decide what to do next, his actions became flippant. Whatever, he thought to himself, no point dwelling on her when I could be figuring out the secrets of this golden egg. He started to fiddle with it, trying to figure out just how he could use it to take his revenge.
The hours passed and Salt, who had a brilliant mind, had become quite sure in the egg’s purpose. Salt deciphered that the golden egg is used to control the balance between the humans and the eggs. It acted like a switch, on one side it allowed the eggs to live in peace with the humans, but when flipped, it would cause all the eggs to rebel. Salt understood this, and blinded by his rage, he flipped the switch.
***
Back at the castle, Ellie had been looking all over for Salt, but to no avail. Suddenly, all the eggs instantly started causing a major uproar, attacking the humans and breaking things all around. She watched as eggs threw themselves off high balconies to fall on her guards. No one knew what was going on, no one but Ellie that is; the guards were reluctant to fight back due to the confusion; so she had to come up with a plan, and fast.
She rushed to the secret room where the egg was kept and discovered that it was gone. Instantly, she realised why she wasn’t able to find Salt; she knew he had stolen it, and knew something had to be done… quick.
“Guards!!” she cried.
“Your majesty! Your majesty! What’s going on?!” One of her loyal guards asked rushing to the scene. Unable to speak, Ellie merely pointed to the pedestal where the egg once was. “What? What was there?” The guard asked, unaware of the treasure.
“Don’t you see what’s happened?” The queen asked, “Don’t you see what has been done, taken, stolen from us all?”
“I’m sorry, your highness; I don’t know what was in there, this room was beyond our authority level.” the guard muttered, embarrassed that he couldn't be of any assistance.
Ellie, angry that the power for good and evil had been stolen, tried to calm herself down. “In this chamber, was a source of great power and in the wrong hands will cause great destruction. Saltknight has taken this power and I dread to think what else he is planning.”
Overcome by emotion, the betrayal of her friend still fresh on her mind, Ellie knew however that her kingdom was more important than anything she felt. Ellie knew that she needed to restore the balance and knew that she could not let her feelings overcome her.
Rushing into action, Ellie gathered her loyal guards and explained how the balance had been upset and that the only way to restore it was returning the golden egg to the kingdom and putting it back on the right track. Sending her guards off to assemble a search team, Ellie did her own investigation. After knowing Saltknight for most of her life, she knew all of his secrets and she knew that if she really set her mind to it, she could figure out where her went.
***Saltknight stared at the object in his hands, suddenly regretting what he had done. “How can I ever go back now? Ellie will never forgive me!” Salt wept. Crumpling against the cave wall, Salt held his head in his hands, pushed the egg away from him and prepared for banishment.
Whilst Saltknight was regretting his decision, Ellie finally figured out where Salt was hiding. Ellie sprung to action and shouted, “GUARDS! We need to go to the borders of the land, there is a cave there and that has to be where he is hiding!” The grabbed a few supplies and set off on the long walk, their resolve fueling their willpower.
Saltknight heard them approach before they reached the entrance, overwhelmed by guilt he turned his back to them. “Over here! I found the traitor!” one of the guards shouted.
Ellie rushed towards the voice, but was completely shocked by what she saw. Never did she imagine to see the supposed betrayer to be on his knees weeping with the egg shoved away.
“Salt, why would you do this?” Ellie asked, saddened.
Salt jumped at the voice, but slowly looked up, “I felt so betrayed that you kept it from me, but when I flicked the switch I felt so much guilt, I am so sorry!” Salt wept.
Stunned, Ellie bent down and grasped the egg and held it close to her chest. “Salt, I apologise for not telling you but you cannot understand what you have done. I cannot forgive you today, but maybe one day I can ,” Ellie responded gently.
Ellie began slowly walking out of the cave, the egg clutched tightly towards her chest. She breathed a sigh of relief as she made her way back towards the castle; the egg safe at last.
Once the golden egg was safely back in the walls of the castle, she flipped the switch back, restoring balance in the kingdom. Immediately, the eggs became docile, stopping the fighting they had initially began. Ellie had restored peace to her kingdom, but the damage was far from little. It took months of Ellie and her servant’s hardest work to restore the kingdom to its former state.
Ellie looked over her land and smiled, everything is back to the way it should be and she decided then that the powers of the Golden Egg should no longer be kept a secret and should be known among the land. Happy with her decision, she retreated back into her castle ready for whatever happens next.
The End!

Humans Of MeepCraft - Feat. @Marthacuddles
How do you rate oKling?
8/10 “brick wall”
What is your proudest achievement so far?
Making my town Ashford! It’s going well, we have some paths down, a few lights and a bridge so far. We only made it a few days ago.
What are your favourite hobbies outside of Meep?
I really enjoy playing my tin whistle, drawing and cooking pasta and potatoes, any kind.
Do you think I need to ease up on the eggs? Kling says they make me gassy.
No, eggs are good for you. Rude, I must say.
Who do you hang out with on Meep and why?
I hang out with EllieEllie, Ukiyo_yokai, Player2, kdocherty7 because they are all fun and nice.
What would you do if you were op’d for an hour?
Hmm, let me think, I would kill all the rich people and bid off their items. If they wanted their items back, they would have to pay me.
How did you find Meep and why do you stay?
When I was younger, I watched my brother play on Meep and one day I wanted to play too, I stay because of the community.
What’s your favourite thing to do on Meep?
Improve my town and go on creative.
Are there any questions you have for staff members?
What would you consider to be ‘toxic’?
Ellie: I would say personally, if a player went out of their way to purposefully and frequently be rude to another player or be vindictive about the server then that’s what I would consider to be toxic. If it’s negativity about the server but they suggest improvements then that’s what we want.
Midnight: Everyone has a different opinion of what is toxic
Ellie: Yeah, which sometimes makes it difficult when something is seen as a joke to one person and something mean to another.
Midnight: Or toxic can also be when a player has been asked to stop multiple times but doesn’t. But the good thing is, you always get warned before serious action is taken.
Clueless: Personally, I take it as a deliberate attitude of negativity that just kind of drags everyone’s mood down. Disliking something or someone is one thing, but when it drives people away, things should be taken seriously.
Is there anything else you’d like to add, Martha?
Thank you for reading, hope I can see you all in game someday.

- Thread: Scheduled Maintenance - Nov 16
At 10 PM EST, we will be replacing one of our servers in order to improve the reliability of our network. During the scheduled maintenance, a server migration to the new machine will occur. That means the towns worlds Alpha, Beta, Gamma and the Wilderness will be inaccessible for at least an hour after the scheduled maintenance window.
Thank you for your understanding!InfernoJack, GroovyGrevous, Garde7 and 11 others like this. -
- Thread: Fourth Birthday
It may seem odd to attribute feelings with material objects, but anyone can identify things in their life that have sentimental value to them. To me, MeepCraft is one of those things.
Years ago, I made a promise to keep the server running. Thanks to our exceptional staff, creative architects, and expert developers, we have kept that promise and are continuing to in the years to come.
The community means so much to me. It's because of this that I've been able to expand the server, and through expanding it I've learned valuable skills in game design, development, business and marketing.
Happy 4th Birthday to MeepCraft and I hope there will be many more in the future!

- Thread: Preston Plays Boomo!
PrestonPlayz returns to MeepCraft to play around of Boomo. He says its one of his all-time favorite minigames and he is excited to return to MeepCraft to play some more!
About our YouTube Campaign
Recently, we have been investing a majority of funding in development. Many new developments have not been announced on the website but we will try to do so much more in the coming months. It is now time to use some of our saved funds to increase the size of our community. MeepCraft is changing its advertising strategy to include YouTube videos instead of investing in server listings. This strategy has been proven to be much more cost-effective and it will give players a great look at our minigames and hopefully attract them into the community! -
