History

Not to be confused with h1story, one of the technical admins of Liberland Freebuild.

This page is for the real world history of the Liberland Freebuild Minecraft server, for the history of the nation roleplay, please go to History (Nation Roleplay).

This is a record of the Liberland Freebuild Creative's history, as retold by the owner of the server, as well as collective memory of the server. Please note as this is largely going off of memories, exact dates may be somewhat inaccurate.

Pre-Server Era:
2018:

November 12th - DarkErminia joins another server named Syberiacraft for the first time.

2019:

February 8th - Old Rustmond begins construction. (The Wikia hates this image for reasons I cannot determine. Instead of failing to upload this image for the 8th time here's a link. A screenshot of Old Rustmond. Note how the palette and style was already largely in place, though Dark hadn't developed his building abilities yet.)

February to May - Various dramas occur due to Dark being a power hungry dickhead. These would later become known as the "Rundia" incidents in Rustmond's lore.

The Oceania Era
June 17th - The server is created by DarkErminia on a free Minecraft server host called MineHut. Originally intended to be for Dark and his IRL friendgroup, it became the location of new Rustmond, where he intended on rebuilding without consequences. The original name of the server was OceaniaMC.

June 23rd - Dark is banned from Syberiacraft, somewhat rightfully, I might add. (Said Dark, viewing the event retrospectively.) From here, there are two copies of Rustmond floating around, one on Syberiacraft, and one on the newly named OceaniaMC. It is the latter that would eventually become the modern Rustmond on the server.

Late August - The original members of the IRL friendgroup desert the minecraft server, leaving only Dark alone to continue working on his city. (A few would end up joining back at a much later date.)

The Yakutiacraft Era (Age of Drama)
September 9th - The Yakutiacraft discord server is created, promoting a freebuild minecraft server. The foundation of Yakutiacraft was near identical to that of Liberland Freebuild, relying on very much the same structure, and server model. Begins with a few curious players, mainly Dark's friends from Syberia. The foundations of Yakutia spawn, as well as the semi-famous Donut Hall was created.

September-ish - Due to complaints of lag, the server was moved off the free host of Minehut and directly to Dark's house, before being moved again to Server.pro.

September 29th - A rush of curious players from Syberia floods the server, though first interpreted as a raid, most of these members are allowed to stay.

November to January - The original white and black flag with a blue cross was created for Yakutiacraft. Also around this time, the server surpasses 50 members on the discord. The city of Aridia Rinnata (which would later be absorbed into Brimhaven) was also built.

2020:

January 20th - Major grief of all major builds. Though the damage was extensive, it was repaired in 8 minutes.

February 11th - The Construction of Bloodrock begins. February - Several cities are constructed during this time, including Sexland, Crosslake, Nova Alaska, Ancapistan, Tadoiine and Cyberia (later abandoned). This is also the time when nation roleplay began within the server.

March 4th - Lombard, one of the original members of the server, and one of the mods oversteps his boundaries, and harasses another player. In a majority vote by the other admins, he is demoted from the mod team for his behavior. He quickly turns around and griefs spawn in retaliation, in which he is swiftly banned for. He would later attempt to rejoin on several occasions, including one time using an alt called "Agartha".

March 17th and 28th - The server is griefed two times. All people involved were banned.

April 20th - A sharp decline in activity marks the beginning of the Yakutian dark ages.

May 10th to 12th - Most of the former Syberians have left by now, leading Dark to seek out an alternative source of players.

May 12th - A large influx of players from Reddit supplements the fading Syberian playerbase. From here on out, Reddit becomes the main source of new players for Yakutiacraft.

Sometime in May - Worsecomp begins rising, and holds ambitions to take over the world within the NationRP.

June 6th - RoadDog and Dark got into a heated dispute over a ban that led to RoadDog writing a long rant on Pastebin, before quitting the server.

June 12th - Yakutiacraft reaches a partnership with another Creative server named PlethoraMC (Which has since merged with another server, and has been rendered defunct.)

July 13th - In light of decreasing player numbers, and decreasing desire to put energy into the project, Dark announces his resignation, and Yakutiacraft shuts down. What's left of the Yakutia Worlds are given over to PlethoraMC. Though Dark saves a copy to his hard drive.

Looking back on this Era, Yakutia gives me extremely fond memories, but I wish there was less drama.

The Aurora Era
(Note, as I was mostly focused on my studies for the remainder of the summer, I was not able to witness any events which unfolded on Aurora. Though Aurora was different, it carried on Yakutia's success as a spiritual successor, as another freebuild minecraft server. It was run by BananaJoe, who was one of the former mods and good friends of Dark/mine.

I am unable to give a good recount of what happened during this time, but if anyone there wants to fill in the events, please do so. -Dark)

July 18th - BananaJoe creates AuroraMC.

Late September, BananaJoe steps down, and shuts down the server as well, citing personal reasons.

The Liberland Era (The Rebirth)
September 29th - Finding rejuvenated energy, Dark calls together most of the former Yakutia mods and most of the Aurora mods together to create a new creative server. This one with shared responsibilities so the loss of a single mod did not mean a shutdown of the server. Dark creates Liberland Freebuild as a direct successor to both Yakutiacraft and Aurora.

October 1st - Both the Yakutia and Aurora worlds are restored into Liberland Freebuild, making the server a direct successor to the two. Good progress is made on both. December 2nd - The Server surpasses 78 players, surpassing Yakutiacraft at its peak.

December 12th - The Liberland Wiki is founded to better catalog useful information to players.

December 14th - Liberland surpasses 100 players.

2021

January 9th - Liberland surpasses 100 players, added support to Bedrock clients for the first time.

February 4th - ElNico56 joins, dark times to come for sure.

February 22nd - Liberland surpasses 200 players.

July 29th - Activity surges, with an increased amount of players joining per day, DarkErminia is now predicted to be the owner of a community consisting of a minimum of 500 members in a 1-3 month range, 1000 by roughly March 2022, Executive Order 66 is enacted by Moofloom, war criminals responsible for causing mild damages across Liberland are to be banned as quickly as possible, CrazyUndLazy is to be killed on sight.

Steady progress continues to be made on Liberland Freebuild, and it is more alive than any of its predecessors in its history. Though the last section is short, I'm just glad there isn't that much drama to document. If you wish to add in historical events, please feel free to do so. -Dark.
