BuddyCraft (OkBR4): Difference between revisions

'''BuddyCraft''', also known as '''OkBuddyCraft 4''' or simply '''OkBC4''', was one of the official Minecraft servers of [[OkBuddyRetard|r/okbuddyretard]], born from its fourth Discord server. The server was first launched on January 23, 2021, lasting a few months before being shut down and replaced with [[WOID]] in July of that year.

Due to significant mental retardation of all present, the server launch was marked by numerous spam posts begging for the server's IP address.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/l2m3a2/where_are_you_guys_posting_the_ip_again/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/l2tij9/official_pinned_post_for_srever_ip_here_give_me/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/l2wbg8/give_ip_now/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/l2yr4a/whens_the_server_coming_out/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/l30qp6/the_server_is_not_real/</ref> <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/l33y4f/im_am_ready_buddy/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/l35ulg/mme_refreshing_reddin_new_posts_for_the_1000th/</ref>However, moderation did come and confirm the server was running into some issues, but was launching.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/l3179l/server_is_coming_shortly_bear_with_us/</ref> The server's launch post was made on January 23, 2021 by [[GrantVsZombies]].<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/l370pr/buddycraft_is_live_we_are_playing_on_1164_and_we/</ref>

Of what information can be confirmed, we know Shittown did in fact launch on Day 1. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/l3h3tj/glory_to_shit_town/</ref>We know there were numerous errors and bugs in server code, frequently disconnecting players for no reason. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/l3k4d0/fix_this_broken_ass_game/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/l3k4ku/servers_down/</ref> <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/l3rvrg/is_the_server_really_laggy_and_fucked_for_u_guys/</ref>Some records indicate Shittown was already beginning trade deals at this time. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/l3n6yu/this_server_is_ran_by_and_on_monkeys/</ref> Likely in a rivalry with Shaprio Town, which was also confirmed to be active and trading livestock. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/l3np4x/shapiro_town_selling_livestock_for_the_entire/</ref>

We also can confirm that Cumland came into existence on either Day 1 or 2, and Nihlwi began his PR campaign. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/l3prpa/cumland_is_the_best/</ref> We can also confirm the existence of the town dreamsmp. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/l43snm/big_chungus_and_among_us_at_dreamsmp/</ref>There was also a brief issue of server permissions not crossing dimensions, leading to trolling by killing players in the End and Nether. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/l3wpje/i_fucking_dare_you/</ref> It was at this time that evidence leaked of the mods destroying the Ender Dragon Egg, after defeating the dragon on the first day. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/l42fgq/poopboob_egg/</ref>

At an unknown time in server pre-history, moderator [[Nouveau Postmodern Caracal|minerftxplorer05]] created the Floppa Weapons. These powerhouse weapons included: <blockquote>

;The Right Ear of Floppa

These weapons would be used up to the First Trollage, where they were lost to history. At an unknown time, minerftxplorer05 entrusted these weapons to Sudrex for display at the museum, and to be used in its defense should the need arise. It is unknown what players were obliterated by the might of Floppa.

[[File:2023-07-11 20.27.59.png|thumb|Two maparts of screenshots of Shittown dated to the First Trollage.]]

The First Trollage occurred on Jan 24, 2021. It began with the war between CumZone and Shittown, the hometown of [[Bushia|xBushia]], a server moderator. There was some build up due to fighting over the legendary Pissblock, including posting pre-war propoganda.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/l43bnz/cum_zoneia/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/l455qw/dicktator_lmao/</ref> The war began with the publishing of a book titled; ''The Crimes of Bushia'': <blockquote>

Several artifacts were recovered from the warfare, including xBushia's armour (the Popbob set), the original Shittown beacon, two blocks of cheated-in bedrock named ''fred'' and ''haed'', a trade deal signed by Floppa-Herzigovina and Shittown, and several of xBushia's ''YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS'' wither roses.

The server pioneered on. In this era, dating to Jan 25-31, 2021, we can confirm the creation of the Chungus City Church at corrdinates 69, 69, 420, as well as the birth of the Cult of Chungus <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/l4hneh/chungus_city_church/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/l4rr47/totally_unbiased_religion_poll/</ref>We can also confirm the town biknee botem was already in existence. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/l4ihkn/hows_biknee_botem/</ref> FCS continued to establish embassies around the major towns of the server, and ''broke in'' several of their parliament buildings. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/l52e68/crazy_embarrassin_among_us_drip_moment_epic_sanss/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/l5avs8/secks_in_the_parliament/</ref> We know the towns of Islamabad and Neko-Ville also came into existence sometime in this era. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/l6bg0h/night_time_in_islamabad/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/l6zguf/nekoville_strong/</ref>

An important archival post was made as well at this time. An OKBC4 town tier list, confirming the existence of Biknee Botem, Bosnia, Brazil, The Chungus Ethnostate, the Church of Chungus, Cumland, Cumzone, DreamSMP, Floppa-Herzigovina, Islamabad, Noccia, and Sillytopia. <ref>https://www.tierlists.com/create/okbuddycraft-towny-tierlist</ref> Nihlwi would take this opportunity to immediately begin posting propaganda, as well as trying to leech off the fame of Cumzone for eradicating Shittown. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/laejas/balls_hurt/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/lk7jmh/cumland/</ref> He would also continue his targeted harassment of ToddDaOne.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/lk9s3c/todddaone_says_that_he_would_let_a_girl_peg_him/</ref>

On Jan 31, 2021, GrantVsZombies began the process of switching to a new server host, due to consistent issues with the present provider. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/l9nrkr/im_switching_server_hosters_hold_tight/</ref> It is unknown what exact dates the server went offline for, though Feb 2-18, 2021 can be confirmed as an offline date. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/laz8wk/turn_the_server_on/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/lbl44r/could_we_get_some_way_to_know_whats_going_on_with/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/lc45xi/bruh_penis/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/le4l2r/how_many_of_you_would_still_play_on_the_sever_if/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/lenxaq/ok_wtf_is_going_on_i_wanna_play/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/ljdda1/whens_the_server_going_back_up/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/lkvmlk/how_many_days_will_it_take_no_rush/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/llkahd/day_15_without_server/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/lmlrth/where_is_server_bootycraft_mods/</ref> Players began getting extremely frustrated. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/lm3qh3/fs_grant/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/lltqbb/just_fucking_find_a_good_host_right_now/</ref>  

Grant would provide a proper update on Feb 10, 2021, regarding the state of the server host transfer. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/lgod7o/update_on_the_server/</ref> He would also provide a re-launch update on Feb 20th, detailing his retarded struggles with the retard server controls.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/lo3ai0/server_is_up_but_read_post/</ref> The finalized transfer would occur on Feb 24, 2021. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/lr6s94/server_will_be_up_on_new_hoster_at_5_pm_est/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/lrqoxl/server_is_now_up_at_the_new_host_ip_is/</ref>

[[File:2023-07-11 20.15.30.png|thumb|Nihlwi's Exhibit in the server museum. His skull and sword were donated anonymously, and the cobble was donated by RocksXIII, recovered from the original lavacast Nihlwi made at Cumland.]]

At this time, about Feb 21, 2021, players began noticing several major griefs around the server. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/lp3kdw/ok_whos_the_funny_guy/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/lp71st/someone_griefed_cumland/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/lp8s8p/the_cumland_grief_before_the_cleanup_a_ginormous/</ref> Nihwli began a petition for assistance, and claimed the attack occurred between approximately 5:30am and 3:00pm (timezone unknown). He claimed to know that it was a resident of Cumland, bigcountryor, found through the assistance of turtle11767, henrydude, and xBushia. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/lp7bdx/please_read_this/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/lrft1n/bigcountryor_admits_to_lavacasting_bosnia/</ref>This event is corroborated by Sudrex. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/lpay8h/we_found_the_cumland_greifer_bushia_has_dealt/</ref>

At this time, Sudrex posted a listing of all the nations as they were on Feb 23, 2021. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/lq8cjr/list_of_all_nations_as_they_now_stand/</ref> Through this document, we can confirm the existence and size of the FCS, the Bosnian Empire, the Kingdom of HumongousChungus, the Noc Dominion, the Pakistan Federation, the Federation of PN69, as well as several others. An archive of this can be found on this page: [[List Of All Nations As They Now Stand]]. We can also date the creation of the Limited Edition Floppa Prints to this time, Feb 25, 2021. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/lrx7j7/get_your_limited_editon_floppa_prints_if_you_dont/</ref>

As told through the record book at the server museum: <blockquote>

Of note are the fact that exact crimes were not recorded in the museum, nor was any mention made of Todd's coronation ceremony involving the testimony of Joe69, or the celebratory orgy held afterward.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/lsjxk5/a_great_day_in_cumland_history_long_live_todd/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/lskamz/we_did_it_boys_griefing_is_no_more/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/lskh8x/todd_is_crowned_king_of_cumland_and_joes/</ref> However, Sudrex's post has been found still uploaded to the community subreddit.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/ls6ql3/why_nihlwi_should_be_permabanned/</ref>

Several significant server events can be dated to this time, beginning approximately on Feb 25, 2021. We know RocksXIII was reinstated, and founded his own town, Rose Island, and the server's court would be established there. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/lstnle/a_new_town_has_been_created_rose_island/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/lusupr/the_okbc_court_is_finished_crime_is_gone/</ref> We know IntroVirtual adapted the Virgin Grotto villager trading hall to include a massive PvP Tower. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/lt0nqy/come_visit_the_new_pvp_tower_at_virgin_grotto/</ref> We know PootBoot began the town of Kockinkrok. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/lu4lmj/my_new_town_kockinkrok_is_coming_together_good/</ref> We can also confirm SimplyFwox was in possession of the Ender Dragon Egg at this time. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/lvmnjm/egg/</ref>

It was at this time [[The OKBC4 Server Museum]] would truly begin, with a post from Sudrex dated to Feb 28, 2021. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/lu656x/now_accepting_player_heads_town_maps_banners_and/</ref> This would lead to some division among players. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/lvhqju/the_lesser_people/</ref>

We do not speak of this.

At some point around this time, xBushia created a bedrock box above the Shittown lavacast encasing the Shittown labs. xBushia placed blocks of netherite and diamond around it, and summoned players to fight for as much of the rare resource as they could. Players utilized Slimefun gadgets and Infernal Mob loot to devastating effect. Once out of rare materials, xBushia placed a shulker full of Popbob's Gift inside the bedrock chamber, with only a single opening to get inside. Players hurled themselves at the entrance, not knowing their only prize would be a troll. After significant loss of life and virignities, the chaos ended, and many players left richer and wiser for the experience.

In this era, approximately March 2021, a dispute between the hidden town of Noccia and Sillytopia would ensue.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/lvpem5/to_the_mayor_or_mayor_representative_of/</ref> It was also at this time a server resource pack was first implemented.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/lvx9y8/what_the_fuck/</ref> xBushia would retard a world edit command and destroy a small section of the space-time continuum outside of Cumland and biknee botem. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/lw2m1o/wtf_is_this/</ref> <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/m0tr8f/can_one_of_the_mods_please_help_out_with_the/</ref>

It was at this time that Nihlwi made a petition to be reinstated. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/m2cuov/okbuddycraft_petition/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/m0vx3v/please_read_this/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/md3ilt/petition/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/mdcb22/actual_petition/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/mi6rsf/serious_appeal_for_discord_server/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/mi7g5w/ok_this_is_some_bullshit/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/mi8hkj/nihlwi_should_be_unbanned/</ref> However, this attempt would not be successful.

Dating to approximately March 27-29, 2021, WeepGate was the second manifesto of Sudrex, and is widely considered a resounding failure. The actual document is lost (pending a publishable recovery), though the central claim was made that the town of Noccia (known for the use of the WEEP meme) was using its friendship with server admin [[Seiya]] to get special treatment and easy punishments. Other claims include allowing the hyperloop owners, Sotarnicus and dziadek_max, to charge taxes on shop use, the possible removal of the Towny plugin, possible pre-selected favorites for moderation positions, and other abuses of players and privileges. The central argument of this essay was hotly debated (and much of the discord chat logs are totally lost), and much of it would be dis proven or had direct solutions. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/mfts88/weepgate_updates/</ref> A major positive benefit of this schizophrenic episode was that the hyperloop shopping mall was open for all players to set up shops for free, <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/mhiolp/visit_tsarbucks_in_the_nether_hyperloop_for_the/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/mganey/coal_shop/</ref> which led to the creation of the Church of Garf. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/mgmd8z/the_church_of_garf_nether_hub_halal_marriage/</ref>

On April 14, 2021, Minecraft update 1.17 was announced, bringing with it significant changes to world generation, warranting a possible world reset. After some debate, it was decided the server would be reset to take advantage of this new update. However, once it was confirmed the server would be reset, player counts dried up, and despite attempts from veterans to keep the peace, eventually OKBC4 would wither away. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/mnpqo4/ok_unretard_for_a_sec/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/mpsefu/a_question_about_the_reset/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/mq9ieq/everyones_gotta_calm_down/</ref>

It was during this time Sudrex visited the Minecraft Server of r/dogelore, establishing peaceful relations and putting administrator Ken4lyfe in contact with Seiya.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/mwltgf/im_unbelievably_based/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/okbuddycraft/comments/myfu0m/we_will_pervail_against_the_dogetards/</ref> What originally was planned as a temporary joint-server event, would eventually expand and become WOID.

[[The OKBC4 Server Museum]] was created and managed by Sudrex. It accepted donations from players including player heads gotten through Slimefun's ''Sword of Beheading'', notable artifacts, weapons, books, and structures. A full list of the museum's contents can be found on its own page, though much of it is not directly translatable to a server timeline.
