java is dopeHey 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:
- Mushroom
- 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!
bedrock is dope
Bro, what have I come back to after a year and a few months on this forums and server. I see some people from Blockwars too. This is another āBig Changeā. I do see a bit of the same positive framing as last time too during the Big Change to attempt to calm some people down. However, I am not here to go berserk or flame heavily like I used to. As much as I dislike these updates (and miss Blockwars 
), I suppose itās necessary. I do see what Story has said about an amazing update in a few months (from September). I hope that ends up going well for Cubecraft and that the Java server is able to make it through without closing. And if the server ends up closing, I would like it (and probably majority of others on Cubecraft who may miss this server) if everyoneās stats were to be moved over if possible to Bedrock. Anyways, I wish the Cubecraft team a happy holiday and for good fortune.

The server went to a shreds when you started banning people just because they were pointed out as hackers by some "members' " friends . This became an oligarchy, if you are friends with a moderator, you can ban whoever you want. What a waste. And then you start to remove game modes, which made the server more or less playable. Definitely the server is going to hell and YOU know it perfectly. Clientelism is killing the server.
RIP Cubecraft, since 2015 and trough 2021 it was fun.

When you're good friends with a staff member, you can tell them if there's a hacker and they might react immediately and get the rulebreaker off the platform if sufficient evidence is gathered. There's no harm in that.
It's a private server, not a democracy. You can't ban whomever you want. They decide when a ban is necessary. If you suspect staff-abuse, you should collect evidence and report it: https://www.cubecraft.net/forums/team-feedback.53/
It's still around 1000 players. Don't know how, but they pulled it off and it will get a big update soon. The Bedrock server is doing indisputably good.
As a suggestion, I propose to work on a customized survival, that attracts new players and more if it is in recent and stable versions.Hey CubeCrafters!
