VaniWorld

## "VaniWorld" Server **Created:** January 9, 2013 **Initial Version:** Minecraft 1.4.7 **Final Version:** Minecraft 1.20.1 (as of June 12, 2023) **Status:** Discontinued --- ### (2013) "VaniWorld" was launched on **January 9, 2013** as a fully vanilla Minecraft server running version **1.4.7**. It was a cozy place for friends — no mods, no fancy plugins, just pure Minecraft. Players built their first villages, farms, and explored the world freely, creating a warm and nostalgic atmosphere. --- ### (2014–2018) Over time, the server began to evolve. Basic plugins for protection and teleportation were added. However, the core vanilla experience remained untouched. The server gradually updated through versions up to **1.12.2**, while still preserving its signature peaceful vibe. --- ### (2019–2022) This period marked the server’s peak activity. It was stably updated to **1.16.5**, and later to **1.18.2**. New biomes, blocks, and mechanics brought fresh life into the old world. The community thrived, with players participating in events, creative builds, and shared adventures. --- ### (June 12, 2023) The server was officially updated to **Minecraft 1.20.1**, marking the final chapter of its journey. Players enjoyed the new features, but over time, activity began to decline. The development team eventually made the difficult decision to **discontinue support** for the project. --- ## ????️ Closure and Legacy Though "VaniWorld" is no longer active, it lives on in the memories of its players — a warm place where friendships began, cities were built, and personal stories were written. The world has been preserved and is available for download, so anyone can revisit it — if only in spirit. --- ## ⚠️ Final State: Server is Critically Broken! Before the shutdown, the server became extremely **unstable and riddled with serious bugs**, making regular gameplay nearly impossible. Examples reported by the community include: 1. **Sleeping became impossible** — beds did not function properly 2. **Teleportation glitches** — players teleported into voids or wrong locations 3. **World rendering errors** — chunks failed to load or loaded incorrectly 4. **Block inventory crash** — unable to open block GUIs like chests, furnaces, etc. 5. **Audio glitches** — distorted or looping sounds 6. **Weather bugs** — endless rain, lightning without storms, or complete weather freeze 7. **Generation errors** — corrupted terrain, broken villages, malformed structures 8. **Phantom players** — invisible or duplicated player entities 9. **Strange creatures** — unknown mobs seen by players (unconfirmed anomalies) 10. **Inventory and block bugs** — broken inventories, items disappearing, sounds playing randomly …and more. These issues ultimately led to the **decision to shut down** the project permanently. **Thanks to everyone who was a part of VaniWorld.** *2013 — 2023* ????️
