before you go "oh gosh, not another SMP lore thing" nah, trust me. this server's for adults only, so trust me, it's cool. periods with headings are important and are headings to signify that both reading and in the table of contents below.

this era is from near the end of 2016 until ~2018 when the Server first started. in this era, the Server was new, and in fact, it was a Realm. we had it on bedrock edition on Xbox One, and invited quite a few friends to join, all of which who have since left. much is lost from this time as it was so long ago

this is the point when the server began growing massively, including killing the ender dragon, getting netherite, collecting Elytras, as well as replanting and destroying the southern birch forest multiple times over to fuel construction of the main village, Honour's Cradle, and making it more new player friendly. it included finishing the main outer layer of the wall around Honour's Cradle, as well as beginning work on two secondary inner layers made of End Stone and then more Cobblestone, respectively. this is the last period before the Realm was converted into a proper Server as well, and ends in 2020 when i stopped paying for the realm

this period is the beginning of the Server as a proper Server. it begins in January 2025, when i finally exported and converted the old bedrock world to java edition 1.21.4, and got it running on Fabric in my homelab. it includes the exploration of more of the world, further out than before and with more confidence, now that render distance is much higher, and mapping mods have become prolific.

this era begins in mid may, with the addition of the Arcana Novum mod to the server, it signifies the dawning of magic within the world, and the beginning of a new era
