After taking a decade-long break, the creator of BlockSpire has decided to launch a Minecraft server, v1.21.4, with ambitions of growing it into a large community of over 200 players within the next two years. Despite the abundance of existing servers, the creator remains optimistic and is eager to pursue this new venture. The primary goal is to attract a significant player base and foster a thriving online environment.
The server is hosted by Shockbyte, chosen mainly for its affordable rates that are suitable for starting with little to no existing players. Currently, the server runs on the Iron Package, providing 4GB of RAM and is operational 24/7. Should the server reach capacity limits, the creator plans to transition to Apex Hosting while potentially using Shockbyte for additional features like a hub or skyblock setup. The creator is also open to receiving suggestions and feedback from the community, indicating a desire for player input in shaping the server’s direction.
