== Information ==

MemeratorMC is an SMP Minecraft server designed for all Memerator users and not to enjoy.

While being relatively simple, containing not much other than survival, it does include a Plot world and several plugins. These include mcMMO, Geyser (for Bedrock support), and Chew's own plugin, [[TransmuteIt]].

Memerator allows integration with Minecraft, which can be done by obtaining a link code on the [https://memerator.me/settings/integrations integrations settings page] and running the command in-game.

=== Gamemodes ===

MemeratorMC is home to various different game-modes. However, some are no longer active but are still documented for historical purposes.

==== SMP ====

MemeratorMC has always had a survival server. It's a simple, ordinary survival server. Throughout most of its course, it almost always had mcMMO, and later on, the TARDIS plugin.

==== Skyblock ====

MemeratorMC briefly offered a Skyblock server. The server had additional game modes, notably SkyGrid, OneBlock, and CaveBlock.<ref>[https://memerator.github.io/Skyblock Memerator Skyblock page]</ref>

The server may have started on March 31st, 2020, as MemeratorMC itself was relatively active due to the school the Memerator team and users primarily attended closing indefinitely due to [[wikipedia:COVID-19]]. This date is based on the creation date of the now titled #inactive-mc-skyblock channel on Discord. The server was shut down on approximately May 16th, 2020 due to inactivity.

==== Cubed ====

Cubed Survival was a game mode that ran from roughly March 2017 to July 2018. It was a unique game mode, where users were put into a "cube" of resources. More specifically, a 510x510 area consisting of numerous resources, as well as air on the top for building, all surrounded by a bedrock border then built-in World Border. 

Above y=200, there were about 50 blocks of air, and above that, 5 blocks of barrier blocks.

For 10 blocks (from y=190 to y=200), known as the top layer, were 10 blocks of logs. There was also 4% of dirt mixed in.

The layers below y=190 were as follows:

Emeralds were the main currency of the server.<ref name="cubedFaq">[https://cloudcitymc.github.io/Cubed/FAQ Cubed FAQ page]</ref> This was based on Wynncraft, whose currency is also Emeralds. Cubed also had a trading system, where users could trade items for or with Emeralds. A list of the trades available was on the [https://cloudcitymc.github.io/Cubed/VillagerTrades Cubed website].

The server also had Slimefun, which required levels and XP to unlock unique items. It also had mcMMO and the TARDIS plugin as well.

Spawn consisted of 4 main areas: the trading area, an animal farm, the portals (where the server had to collectively use their emeralds to buy portal shards, which were used to build the portal), and a secret TARDIS area, where users could buy pre-built TARDIS seeds.

Near the end of its life, as users stopped playing, RaiinChan (at the time, AvaLeKitten) forcefully gave themselves admin and began abusing the powers. At the very end, blowing up an entire corner with TNT. This abuse of power effectively scared everyone else off, leaving the server effectively abandoned. With no players, and thus no reason to keep it open, the server was shut down.

== History ==

MemeratorMC has had numerous iterations over its lifespan. Initially starting as ChewCraft, it has progressed into CloudCityMC, RileyCraft, CloudCityMC (again), until finally arriving at MemeratorMC.

=== ChewCraft 1.0 ===

On October 2nd, 2013, the initial revision of ChewCraft starts.<ref name="futureOfChewCraft">[http://chewcraft.blogspot.com/2016/01/the-future-of-chewcraft.html The Future of ChewCraft]</ref>. It was hosted by Mooshroom Hosting. After a rogue command crashes and corrupts the server, it is forced to shut down on November 9th, 2013, and move to a new home. No files from this era exist.

=== ChewCraft 2.0 ===

The following day, November 10th, 2013, ChewCraft starts back up again using the, at the time, the newer hosting company [[MCProHosting]].<ref name="futureOfChewCraft" /> Because MemeratorMC is still hosted with MCProHosting, even today, files from this era still exist today, even on the same server. 

Work was done immediately in the main world. A small spawn was created, completely out of stone brick. The world this was made in eventually became a massive playground used even today. [https://qr.ae/pGVwdj Chew's Quora answer details a fly-through of parts of it].

There is not much known about this era, other than it was suspended on January 19th, 2015<ref name="futureOfChewCraft" />, due to a lack of funds and players. 

=== RileyCraft 1.0 ===

During this downtime, RileyCraft came to be. It's unknown when it initially started, but a [https://rileycraftmc.enjin.com/forum/m/32017203/viewthread/22110425-poll-about-version forum post] suggests it existed as early as May 23rd, 2015, though the following events would imply it was around much earlier.

It is unknown how Riley and Chew met, but Riley also wanted to start a server. 

=== ChewCraft 3.0 ===

Seven months later, on August 16th, 2015, MCProHosting announces they are giving away 10 free-for-life Dragon (modern: Enderman) Plans.<ref>[https://twitter.com/MCProHosting/status/633020778389237760?s=20 "Retweet & Follow for a chance to win one of ten FREE Minecraft servers with 6GB of RAM and unlimited slots! Winners announced on August 24th" by @MCProHosting]</ref> Chew entered this contest and ended up winning on August 24th, 2015.<ref>[https://twitter.com/MCProHosting/status/635889174038515712?s=20 Winner announcement tweet]</ref> This is still the same server used today. It is very likely that, had it not been for this, much of ChewCraft's history would not exist.
