Bestseed Timeline

The Bestseed Timeline is the official timeline for the Bestseed server on Minecraft. The timeline project was started in October of 2019 by members of the community on a google document file before being ported over to the wiki. This contains the different eras the world has gone though in its almost 8 year lifespan and covers the major events that have happened during these eras.

The Age of Anarchy
C. May 2013 - early 2014

Updates: 1.5.2 - 1.7.10 The Early age also known as the Ancient Times was the first era ever in the world. The era began with the world's creation and mainly consisted of the period where the world was a small village with a few buildings added in. This time was anarchy, TNT explosions, and lava pools were all over the world, craters littered the landscape. There was no established community or motivation during this time and the player count was very low and much of the small playerbase spent their time underground in the vast gave system below the village. This is also the era that we know the least about as nothing was written down and any ancient texts in game that were written have not survived. All we have left to look at are underground rooms, and the ruins of various structures around the map.

The Age of Prosperity
Mid 2014 - January 2016

Updates: 1.7.10 - 1.9

The Industrial Era was a time of great prosperity in the world. The town was becoming more than just a modified village, it was turning into a small city. Buildings began to rise higher and higher as well as the city expanded larger and larger. This is easily the era that saw the most production and building. By later on in the era buildings were rising high into the sky with the construction of the Superstore, Tower Apartments, and the Wellington Building. The Industrial Era is where Bestseed grew the most and helped give birth to structures that most still stand to this day.

Despite its short lifespan, The Realm age is considered the golden age of the world. In March of 2016 the world became transformed into a realm. This was a time of great innovation and creation and is considered to be a very progressive and important time in the server’s history despite its short lifespan. Life was breathed into the sever, making the small player base even broader. This was the first era where there was a very active community for a short time, with up to seven people being on at one time. This is easily the most filmed era of the world, with several small youtubers making content on or relating to the server and thing such as minigames and challenges became a common thing.

After the world’s popularity died, the realm subscription was not paid and it expired, following this the world hit an all time low with maybe a log in every few months, the world almost died. During these brief logins problems were ignored such as fire and block destruction. Lightning strikes set many buildings on fire, this is also the time where the world glitched and thunderstorms began to happen constantly.

Updates: 1.12.2 - 1.15.2 In late 2018 a spark occurred and the world began getting played on more and more, the buildings began to get repaired rapidly and even new buildings began to appear, almost it would seem overnight, Best Seed was transformed from a wasteland into the prosperous and beautiful city it once was. This was truly the Bestseed Renaissance. Following the 2 year dark period, there came a period of regular activity where players would log in every week for a few hours using Lan games on Hamachi. Despite the server’s regular use during this time, not much was done on the server, it was a period of extreme boredom on the server. The server was suffering from several problems during this time such as the broken day and night cycle and constant rain. Most activity was just random messing around with no real goal on the server, using only as a place to just explore and chat.

The Age of Evolution
January 2020 - December 19, 2021

Updates: 1.15.2 - 1.18

The server opens up once again to a full online server using Aternos. This time has seen many innovative ideas and builds from players such as Enderninja99, FaZe_Cretin, Whad, Moldypeen, Cool_Dude_Rapper, and Domsushi. For the first time, Bestseed had a dedicated community that helped to build new things and bring some new style into the world. Several key events have taken place during this time including the creation of the high council and the founding of Cheeseville. This era was shown to be the time where the most player dedication and construction took place, with random players joining regularly and the admins maintaining an organized and friendly presence in the server. This era dealt with the issues of loneliness and isolation brought on by the COVID-19 Pandemic after it caused global shut down on March 14, 2020. During this time, the server became a place to talk, make friends, and create bases, with the build becoming more beautiful and grand, more than any time before. This was a time of great progression as the server provided more support for its members and was friendly and non toxic towards anyone who joined. The summer of 2020 brought sever wide warfare, with the Cheeseville Rebellion and Bestseed Civil War breaking out in just a month, resulting ina new server-wide government being formed and a fall and winter filled with several tension. The wars granted full independence to all cities, making them private property. Much of the world was affected by the wars, with many plaers and villagers killed and buildings destroyed. Throughout 2021, massive amounts of progress was made on all of the cities, with each one growing massively in size through the summer of the year. During this time, several buildings were remodeled after many years of falling into disrepair and a new wave of players came and went on the server, with many of the main player base maintaining an online presence. North Williamsburg, a new section of Williamsburg and the Bestseed Museum were the two biggest creations made during the summer, with many of the old asrtifacts and small ruins being saved in the museum to protect them from player destruction. The fall brought with it a new settlement known as Wyvern's Cove, built by Yung_Nordling in November, and by the following month, regular activity was common.
