Minecraft Server

Brief Synopsis
The Garrulous64 Minecraft server was a survival Minecraft server made for the discord community. It was created by CutieMonica and became the official server of the channel. The server is currently down but is scheduled to come back up by the time of the next major Minecraft update.

History
The very start of an idea for a Garrulous64 Minecraft server was quiet and had been joked about a few times before its eventual creation. This changed when, during a stream of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate that G64 had done with a few friends, including Monica, Monica proposed the idea of a Minecraft server. This had been phrased as a joke, but Monica's intentions had been set on genuinely making one.

Later that night, a server was created. A simple survival server with a land claiming plugin, and not much else, it was quietly released and then even more quietly announced, getting announced sometime after its creation. The server went on to see quiet support and general interest. But it did peak at one point.

During the Garrulous64 Direct, the server had been officially unveiled to the Garrulous64 Youtube Channel, now this may have been the first time that many would have seen any mention of a G64 Minecraft server, including those active in the discord. The premier date of this video marked a spike in players, totaling about 20 players on the server at the same time. This is where many got their start.

However, after this spike, a gentle decline started to happen. Many players had stopped playing because the server just couldn't interest them anymore. The server could go days at a time without even 1 player touching it. That's why, on the 20th of January 2020, the server in its current form would be closed. However, a new experience is currently being developed to incite more players and more interest in coming back to play the server.

Controversies and Systems
The server would go through a few plugins that many grew a distaste for, such as the land claiming plugin, which many disliked for not working properly at times, and clearlag, which often deleted items if not managed quickly. However, something even more controversial was the times the server would often go offline, mostly because of computer malfunctions or the internet just going out.

A very loved system in the server though was the shopping system. Players could set up shops in a district and then sell their items for diamonds or buy items for diamonds. Among the most popular was an Item Block shop, which dispensed a random item at the cost of a diamond, a cult-like shop selling "Magic Muffins" (renamed pufferfish) and a simple general shop, selling bamboo among other things.
