About SimpCraft

SimpCraft is a mostly vanilla survival server with an anarchy-style rule set. Leave spawn, gather supplies, travel the Nether highways, and choose whether to build quietly, join a group, or hunt for other players.

Your base is part of the story, not a safe menu option. Hidden camps, ruined builds, old roads, and player-made landmarks give the world a strong sense of memory. PvP, raiding, and griefing can turn a normal trip into a fight, but helpful players and long-lived groups also exist.

What Makes It Different

SimpCraft began as a one-off MrBeast challenge server and became a real player society after the video ended. Its ruined bases, highways, and old landmarks make the map feel like a place with memory, not just a fresh survival world.

SimpCraft Gameplay

Start by escaping spawn and collecting basic food, wood, stone, and iron. Nether highways are useful for reaching areas with better resources and fewer players. Once you have supplies, choose between building a hidden base, joining a group, exploring old ruins, or looking for exposed bases and loot.

History of SimpCraft

SimpCraft opened on July 28, 2020, as a Paper server created by Plutoren and the MrBeast team for a large Minecraft raid video. Experimental changes allowed more than 1,000 players to join within about a minute. After filming ended, Plutoren kept the server online, giving the temporary project a life of its own.

Before the video brought wider attention, the server had a small community of roughly 30 to 40 players. Early groups included the Kelp Clan and the BeastMC builders. Spawnville began as a community base and later moved after repeated griefing attempts.

The MrBeast video was released on August 8, 2020. Large numbers of new players arrived, while established players tried to control the old spawn area with lava and obsidian. The conflict spread to Spawn 2.0, which was eventually destroyed. Around the same time, Plutoren took control of the server's Discord community and player votes rejected most proposed additions, helping preserve the server's stripped-back style.

From August through December 2020, groups formed, fought, merged, and disappeared. Balance became one of the strongest organizations and controlled a major base. Players also debated whether important areas around spawn should be preserved, but no lasting preservation system took hold.

A later period followed the book-dupe era. The community split between players who had duplicated items and players who had not. Lower activity made room for new spawn projects and large bases, while another group of players began destroying builds whenever they found their locations. This pushed SimpCraft further toward the harsh, player-driven style associated with anarchy servers.

The server then entered a long quiet period. Small projects and occasional events continued, but activity was much lower than during its first months. The old world gradually became a collection of abandoned structures, damaged roads, community bases, and stories known mostly to returning players.

On March 24, 2023, FitMC released a widely watched video about SimpCraft's abandoned landscape and its transformation into an anarchy server. The video brought renewed attention to the server's ruins and history, introducing the world to a much wider Minecraft audience.

Today, SimpCraft remains a mostly vanilla semi-anarchy survival world. Its identity comes from the long-lived map, player-made groups, dangerous travel, old landmarks, and the unusual path from a one-time creator event to a persistent community server.
