Hello Protectors,
As of last night, the ProtectorsCraft Network has gone offline. After more than six years, the servers that so many of us called home have been shut down.
This has not been easy. Before the servers went dark, every player’s statistics and many of the builds were captured and preserved, exactly as they stood on the last day.
The ProtectorsCraft Archive is Live
https://archive.protectorscraft.us
This is a permanent website that will stay online to keep our entire network’s history alive. Years of players, builds, stats, and memories, all preserved exactly as they were on the final day.
Look Yourself Up
Head to the player registry and search your username, or even an old name you used years ago, to pull up your own profile. Every profile shows:
-
Your rank and player tier, shown with the exact same prefixes and colors you had in-game
-
Total playtime, balance, blocks mined, first join date, last seen
-
Your inventory, friends, clan, and linked accounts
-
Cross-links to every server you played on
-
And much more
Over 5,500 Survival players are in the registry, plus everyone from Prison, Gens, and Creative.
All four servers, preserved
Each server has its own full registry, rank ladder, and leaderboards:
The Museum
Explore our most iconic builds block by block, right in your browser. No download, no Minecraft required. Visit the Museum to see:
-
Every spawn across the years: the original 2020 Bedrock spawn, the Halloween and Christmas spawns, the final Survival spawn, and more
-
The Game Hub, The City, and the PVP arenas
-
Preserved player builds, Prison cells, Gens islands, and Survival and Creative plots
-
Real textures, working signs you can actually read, and full lighting
-
Orbit, zoom, and pan on both desktop and mobile
Memories
Memories of six years, with screenshots of places we called home, clips from the community over the years, and farewell words from players in their own voice. If you shared something in our Discord’s #nostalgia channel, you’ll find it here.
A Look Behind the Scenes
Ever wondered how the network actually ran? Each server has its own info page listing every single plugin we used, along with the server software, Minecraft version, and system specs to replicate many of the features:
Still Want Your Builds?
If you requested a schematic of your base or build, or you’d still like one saved, each player has a private download link for all of their claims, homes, plots, islands, and more on the Archive, captured a few days before shutdown. Open a ticket in our Discord’s #ticket-support channel and I’ll get you your personal link, so you can download your builds as .schem files and load them into any world you like. Here’s an example page.
Thank You, One Last Time
Thank you for playing on ProtectorsCraft, everyone. The servers may be gone, but our story is saved forever. Come visit it any time.
