Streamed: 11-13-2020 Back in 2011, there was a My Little Pony themed Minecraft server called, Ponycraft. At the time, it was one of the biggest and most active Brony servers near the peak of the shows popularity and I was a part of it. It had a friendly and welcoming community of 20-80+ players on at any given time of day. It featured 3 major worlds, Wilds (vanilla gameplay), Creative, and Equestria (the RP world with homes in various locations from the show).
In 2013, the server abruptly shutdown and never came back online (partially due to maintenance expenses as well as other reasons that I would not hold against its former owners). As one last send-off to the community that called the server their home, the Ponycraft world files were published as mementos for members to keep. For some, being able to have their own copy of the server’s worlds was a form of closure but, for others (like myself), the void that Ponycraft’s closure left was something that wouldn’t ever truly pass.
Seven years later, I revisited Ponycraft’s Equestria on-stream to share how much of a long lasting impression it had on my life and to ensure that its existence is not forgotten.
Due to the size of the Ponycraft Equestria, this exploration will take place over multiple parts. This first installment is set almost exclusively in Ponyville which (judging by the length of this video) should give an idea of how large this server really was.
DISCLAIMER: Despite this being set within the My Little Pony fandom, the subject of these videos is something very near and dear and I wanted to apologize for how worked up and emotional I get over the course of the video.
