When you visited this blog, you might have noticed a new interstitial screen.
This is Anubis, and just like the Egyptian god, it will weigh your soul before granting you entry on my humble blog.
This is mainly to stop the slew of bots and other scrappers that hit my blog all the time, those get annoying and waste resources.
In most cases, the check should be quick enough that you won’t even notice the Anubis challenge screen.
MeuhMeuhCraft was a Minecraft server opened in 2013 which continued up until its closure in 2015.
Young me, playing Minecraft, joined this server. The factions survival world was where I made some friends, and where I also learned some stuff about the game, such as making potions.
It’s last year that a thought came to my mind: what if I could find a save of the world, and see some of those memories again, my friend’s base, my underwater one, etc, etc.
Sadly, the website only had one usable capture on the Internet Archive, so not much slack to play with.
With this in mind, I bought the old domain, meuhmeuhcraft.fr, and hosted a page saying:
I’m trying to contact the owner of this server to have a copy of the world (even if it might not exist any more).
If you have information on this server, please email me at [my email address].
Almost a year after setting this message up, a surprise came in my email. On 2025/06/30, I was contacted by a friend of the owners, asking me for more information as for why I wanted the map. The next day, I was talking directly with one of the owners of the server, something I wouldn’t have expected ever.
More than that, on 2025/07/06, I received a full copy of the world- and of the full server files. So I booted up the server, a CraftBukkit 1.7.2, a copy of the game, and there it was, the old server, in all its glory.
Alas, my old base was completely destroyed, probably a raid shortly after I stopped being active.
More than that, those worlds are now available to visit within Resonite!
Here are the parts I already imported:
All the text on the signs were eaten by the exporter, so sadly those didn’t survive the export to Resonite.
I want to extend my largest thanks to the server owners, mattoo64 and hombeline64, which took the time to find and send me the maps. Even more, their resolute to back the files up for so long.
Without them, this whole thing couldn’t have happened.
I also want to extend thanks to their friend, who noticed my message and was kind enough to put us in contact with each other.
Stay tuned as a read-only version of the server will be hosted in the future.
