GuudeBoulderFist was arrested May 6 on ten counts of second degree sexual exploitation of a minor. The remaining members unanimously decided the only option was to permanently abandon the Mindcrack brand that started in 2010 rather than drag its history through this mess.
The news dropped like a nuke on what was left of the old guard Minecraft community. GuudeBoulderFist, real name Jason Ray Korpulinski, got arrested May 6 in North Carolina on ten felony counts of second degree sexual exploitation of a minor. Bond was set at $250000. Within days the remaining Mindcrack members made the call.
The Brand Had To Die
In their official statement the group said they were shocked and saddened. After internal discussions they unanimously decided to part ways with the Mindcrack brand for good. The full post makes clear the history and emotional weight made any other path impossible. They plan to keep creating together but under something new. Patrons were directed to separate Patreon updates.
After extensive internal discussion the remaining members have unanimously decided to part ways with the Mindcrack brand. Given the history and meaning the group has carried for all of us and you over the years this decision comes with a great deal of sadness but we believe it is the only path forward.
Mindcrack launched in 2010 as one of the first big Minecraft SMPs. It featured creators who went on to massive careers including VintageBeef and connections to names like EthosLab and KurtJMac in its prime. A 2025 revival called Mindcrack Rebirth brought it back with a mix of old and new faces. That version is now finished before it could regain full momentum.
Community Reaction Is Raw
On Reddit longtime viewers described it as heartbreaking. Many talked about growing up with the content and feeling the legacy is now permanently stained. Comments ranged from pure shock to dark acceptance that this keeps happening in bigger Minecraft circles. The arrest thread and shutdown announcement racked up hundreds of reactions in days.
- Arrest happened May 6 2026 in Harnett County

This is not some distant server drama or kid getting groomed in a public lobby. It is the founder of one of Minecrafts most important early groups. The members did what they had to do. Fans who logged hundreds of hours watching Mindcrack content now have to square that history with these charges. The scene does not get to pretend this stuff only happens to clout chasing newcomers.
