RetroMC is a Minecraft Beta Server that has been operating since 2014. It began as a small-community server and eventually became a prominent and long-running server in the community. The RetroMC community is run by a dedicated team of staff and developers, ensuring the best experience via the implementation of custom plugins and server software.
18th June 2014
RetroMC is originally created by SpacewolfE providing a sanctuary to players wanting a simpler experience.
9th September 2016
Due to unknown reasons at the time, RetroMC shutdown unexpectedly. Communication attempts with the old owner when unanswered.
Early 2017
JohnyMuffin established a Minecraft Beta server as a substitute for RetroMC. The server was publicized within a Discord group, primarily consisting of ex-OakGlen members (a town from the original RetroMC). Initially, the server was designated as a whitelist-only server for former members, causing it to remain inactive for the majority of 2017.
November 2017
JohnyMuffin's renewed interest in the server prompted efforts to improve and ready it for a public release. Eventually, the server was made public on the Minecraft Forums in November 2017, although the exact date is unknown.
13th April 2018
The owner of BetaLands expressed a desire to merge RetroMC and BetaLands due to several external factors. Within a few days, RetroMC and BetaLands were successfully combined. This merger brought about significant changes that still have an impact on RetroMC to this day. Prior to the merge, RetroMC lacked an economy, a land claiming system, and other features.
3rd June 2018
The differing opinions of Sweetz and Johny ultimately caused the separation of RetroMC and BetaLands. Following the unsuccessful merger, the server endured a challenging period. For some time, communication between RetroMC and BetaLands was non-existent. Nevertheless, relations between the two servers gradually improved towards the end of 2018
8th December 2019
BetaLands, a Minecraft server, underwent significant changes when Sweetz, its previous owner, sold it to LeeTaeJun due to other commitments outside the game. The server underwent a map reset and other significant modifications, leaving its future uncertain. Later, RetroMC negotiated to take over BetaLands and revert it to its pre-LeeTaeJun state. While the server has mostly run independently with a federated staff team, it will merge with RetroMC for the second time.
