This is what I expected. Not surprised. Also i recommend to the cube admins, don't need to bother so much. Just do /delete server
Minecraft PC IP: play.cubecraft.net
Mate yall killed it with these useless updates like ongod tf is FEATURED ITEMS lets just say it literally ruins the game for anyone whos tryna play n stuff? Like imagine a guy going mid right when he spawns , grab one of those items , such as Punch Bow n then he goes back n camps in his island or sm and shoots everybody including sweats n stuff speaking about skywars
What about eggwars , like who tf would make a redstone thingy IN AN ONLINE SERVER LOL
mate ion wanna be rude or sum but yall killed ur server with ur own hands , 2020 days was epic af like 4k ppl online , where are they now? literally quit bcs of ur dumb updates n stuff
Anyways ciao LOL!
after 1.19 updates/after the 4 months i bet it will have more players and if they don't so be it. dont be toxic about it though. :)

"Why did cube die though?"Hey CubeCrafters!
Nearly 10 years ago CubeCraft was created by @rubik_cube_man , this birth occurred on the original version of Minecraft, Java Edition. We've been a Java server for most of our history, we pioneered all of our current Bedrock games on this version. Today we sit here with a huge platform which has held over 25 games loved by tens of millions of players all over the world.
I was one of these millions of players, joining in 2014 to pass time whilst I was in school, it ended up being more fun than I could've imagined and now I've been here for 8 years and now operate internally with the rest of the team working on making those same experiences for other players.
Working at CubeCraft has been super fun, I love spending months on updates and then watching all of you experience it and talk about it. Those release days are always my favourite even if they are a bit stressful! One of the things I've learned from being on the CubeCraft Team is that sometimes tough decisions need to be made.
Even as a loving dedicated community member I am faced with one reality, our Java platform is struggling. It cannot support itself with 1,000 players, especially with its current structure which was intended for way more.
I don't want to be a big Godzilla and ruin everything for all of you, I came onto the CubeCraft team to make things better no matter what, sometimes this can only be achieved by taking risks.
At this time, Java needs to grow beyond 1,000 players or we will need to close it. This is sad news but rather than come to you today to tell you we are closing Java, we are here instead to unveil some of our big plans to deliver amazing experiences to even more players, to inspire them like I was way back in 2014.
So what is happening exactly?
Update to 1.19
We will be fully updating CubeCraft Java & Bedrock to Minecraft 1.19.
Starting from today, our team will be focussed on bringing a huge 1.19 update to Java & Bedrock, featuring all new content, as such we will not be making any changes to the network for approximately 4 months until this is completed.
It will be all hands on-deck for this exciting new chapter, we cannot wait to welcome you all (and frogs View attachment 214671) into the new CubeCraft era with all the amazing content that comes with it.
Java Changes
One of the issues we've currently addressed from our player reduction is a lack of games starting in many periods of the day. We have decided to remove these games & modes in order to keep the network going until we can relaunch our amazing update in a few months.
As of September 5th, Java will only consist of the following library of games:
- Solo SkyWars
- Solo Lucky Islands
- Teams of 4 EggWars
- Free for All
- Skyblock
- Parkour
View attachment 214670
In addition to these changes we will also be reducing Lucky Islands, SkyWars & EggWars to 6 maps each.
These changes are in preparation for our 1.19 update on the horizon, which will have much more polished maps featuring many new mechanics from all the versions we've missed. We've made this change early to avoid confusing players on release.
Our new 1.19 maps will have more map-only features for example; a swamp map with mangrove trees & boats at mid. A nether map in the nether dimension with blazes at mid that drop items or striders that take you to generators above lava. The possibilities are endless!
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What maps are staying?
A:
Solo Lucky Islands:
- Pirates
- Luck
- Village
- Underwater
- Candy
- Nest
- Blizzard
- Bloom
- Trees
- Shrine
- Explosive
- Ping Pong
Team EggWars:
- Mushrooms
- Olympus
- Palace
- Ruins
- Beach
- Fairytale
Q: Is there any chance for these modes to be added back again?
A: Absolutely. We are currently in a position where we need to grow our network, additional content can return once we're certain they can start in all times again and that they are still fun!
Q: Why can't you just put them in featured games and keep this system?
A: Featured Games as a concept was intended to have players squeeze together into small timeframes so that the games could start properly and wouldn't need to be removed. We are at a point where even featured games cannot be supported, it's also a difficult system to maintain. We'd like to focus our efforts on the remaining popular games and new exciting content to grow the network.
Q: Are the removed Java-only games going to be on Bedrock?
A: They could in the future, we currently have no plans for those specific games however we'd like to try everything in our Bedrock 'Beta Games' at some point to see how they perform on that platform.
Q: If you aren't doing updates for 4 months, is Halloween cancelled?
A: Due to the fact that seasonal updates don't require much development resources and that we had most of it completed already. We've decided to release Halloween as normal in October!
We all remember the excitement of enjoying CubeCraft for the first time, the buzz of meeting new friends and having new experiences. I'm very excited to get Java back to this point so we can provide amazing experiences through the Java platform once again like we did all those years ago.
That's everything we have for you today, thank you so much for reading!

Did you read their reason of them doing this? server wouldn't be alive after 1 year after not doing anything about losing players.
after 1.19 updates/after the 4 months i bet it will have more players and if they don't so be it. dont be toxic about it though. :)
man games were still filling up, u prob dont even play java lol, it's just going downwards, they're going to remove the server soon you understand that I hope!?
Swap minerware removal with parkour. Minerware is a really unique concept, featuring various minigames that are fun to play on. With that, you are basically killing a nice piece of jewel of your server that also receives an update in a few months.
You could have just left this game updateless, rather than removing it entirely.
I respect the decision the team made of not closing the server entirely, but this decision will also make cubecraft not friendly to new players.
Hope to see changes.

my godness don’t give them ideas
I doubt the drunk guy who gifted it to me even remembers it he probably wont cry xd
We all knew this day would come eventually, sooner or later. Many of the soon-to-be-removed games I didn't play much, apart from Among Slimes, and because of that I know the feeling of being part of a small playercount-based community. All of these games have their own communities which will go through tough 4 months. I want to believe this won't be the end of the Java server, I really do.. we've all had so many great memories on here, would be a shame for it all to end like this.
Rest in peace, beloved by many soon-to-be-gone-perhaps-forever-minigames.

tbh is not an unique gamemode bcs partygames on hypixel exists, but ye it shouldn't get removed
Tower defence is not even a game we can play on bedrock, so many NA players play TD at night I don't get why this had to be removed. I think this decision was rushed because what's the point of releasing so many new maps & duel game modes just for it to be all removed after a few weeks? Eggwars will be just full of tryhards removing the fun for newer players who aren't as good. I don't believe in this update at all, I think this will even make it worse causing many players to quit.
where the refund for java ppl @ lmaoHey CubeCrafters!
