I want to start this announcement by saying thank you to everyone who has reached out with kind words and support since Microsoft’s announcement on Wednesday. I’m working to sift through the rubble and salvage anything that I can to turn this news into a positive experience.
Looking through all the discussions and DMs, there are a sizable cohort of players and projects who love the ZerpCraft server for its Minecraft content and want the server to continue. This blog post is for you.
This was supposed to be announced on Wednesday, but today I’m announcing the opening of XRPLegends, the first world in the “ZerpCraft Network”. XRPLegends is an independently run Survival server that is linked together via portals with the ZerpCraft server.
I have been working with community member 1BusyGuy to get this server setup. He has been working to create a great complementary experience to the ZerpCraft server and after discussing the news from Microsoft, he still wants to give players an opportunity to experience that content.
We have removed the blockchain integrations with both servers due to Mojang’s guidance. However the servers are still free to engage with and enjoy. You may notice that logging into play.zerpcraft.com will drop you into a portal room where you can choose your experience. If you don’t see the portal room, simply perform the /server Lobby command to jump to a place where you can switch worlds.
The timing couldn’t have been worse for all of this, but we’re hoping that you’ll come and enjoy a different Survival experience with the community. You can find XRPLegends Discord here and Twitter here.
