The Gladcraft Legacy

A year and a half ago on June 18th, 2013, I double-clicked a .command file on my Mac. As soon as the file executed, the map which you all are very familiar with generated for the first time, and GladCraft was created. Slowly, a player-base was built. After a while, I tried a new map, but it didn't work out very well. And so, to resurrect old memories, I loaded up the old map. To this day, that map has been the survival map for the server. I built a new spawn, and people were often online building their latest projects. Since then, much has been built; almost too much. Eventually, it got to a point where no one had anything to do. I've now determined that it is time for a restart. As many of you are probably aware due to your griefed buildings, I am allowing everyone to destroy the map before the reset. Before everything is destroyed, I wanted to give everyone a look at the greatest works of some of GladCraft's builders and designers.



Another thing to mention in terms of Ann - this awesome to-scale chiseled quartz megablock that she built! (right)

And of course, let us not forget the beautiful, the majestic, the unrivaled... Humble Abode. Designed by Demigod132, Dark_Pheonix48, and yours truly, this masterpiece glowed with glory.

To finish off this farewell post, here are some wonderfully nostalgic pictures: A huge thank you to all Gladcraft players! Without you, the server would have eventually died. Instead, we are traveling into a new saga in the Gladcraft legacy together.

Thanks for reading, and I hope to see you all in a couple weeks on Gladcraft 2!

- Gladrian, Server Owner and Manager
