Bestseed (World)

Bestseed is the name of the world file that is currently used to run the Bestseed minecraft server. It has been through every major version of Minecraft since around 1.5.2 and continues to run to this day.

Early History
The server began in May 2013 when it was created by Domsushi. By the summer of 2013, there was a small amount of players that had joined via lan games. Over the course of the next few years, the server would industrialize into a small city with the player count gradually rising by 2015. The earliest days of the server was absolute anarchy, explosions, greifings, lavacasts, and many more chaotic events took place during that time as there was no community goals or motivations during this time. This era is extremely hard to document as barely anything that was written down back then if anything at all, much of it hasn't survived the years. several major events took place during this time such as the construction and eventually collapse of sandstorm city and the Great Jungle Fires.

Expansion and Rise to Power
by December 2014, the city had expanded into the forest and skyscrapers began to appear and stretch into the sky. There was an increase in players for a short time before it went back down to its usual count. Around this time, thanks to efforts from player such as Vicious Doggett, infrastructure began to pop up around the map, with the construction of the power plant, IKEA, Mall, and school in 2014 alone. By 2015, the Bestseed server had become more like an empire, with the players and defenders of the city of bestseed, conquering the lands around and putting it under their rule, it was an absolute monarchy, and a powerful one at that. It was around this time that the server's world file was transferred to another computer for the first time, setting it up to be put into a new software.

Realm Transfer and Decline
In January 2016, the world was put into the Realms program, causing the player count to skyrocket to levels never before seen in the servers history. This is the era that was marked with innovation after innovation, thanks to players such as Domsushi, Gtshark007, Vicious Doggett, and Fallen_Turtle. This time was the first time that community events such as battles and minigames began to take place around the map, with the rollercoaster networks being installed during the Redstone Fair in April 2016. This era was the shortest era ever in the world's history and would not last past July as the players became bored, leaving it to rot and waste away for over two years. During the period from 2016-2018, the world sat dormant and falling into chaos once again.

Resurgence and Rise of Popularity
In mid-2018, the era known as the Great Resurgence began with players beginning to log back into the server, returning to the class lan game form of playing, repairing damaged bases, buildings, and city monuments before choosing to expand the empire, forming what is known as UKBS, the first realm form of Democratic Government on the server. By the early spring of 2020 the High Council and Cheeseville had been established, adding another state to the UKBS. During the summer of 2020, the UKBS would establish several colonies around the map, but in August 2020, the Cheeseville Rebellion marked the beginning of the Bestseed Civil War that resulted in the independence of all colonies and the collapse of the UKBS. Summer and early fall of 2020 were marked with political tension between the nation states and large scale terrorist cells and attacks began to take place, with many structures being damaged in the process. By November the tensions had halted completely and peace was returned to the server, with the High Council returning to power as leaders of all cities. This era saw a new types of builds and innovations from people such as Whad, Enderninja99, Wrinkly_Beans, Fazw_Cretin, and Andromeda Lane. On December 21, 2020, Domsushi stepped down as the Grand Admin of the server, granting the ownership to Whad who released the IP publicly that same night. Through December and January the worlds popularity would rocket yet again with community members joining from the online posting of the I.P. making it into the great server it was meant to be.
