The Best Minecraft Server You Never Played

When i first started playing minecraft i had no idea of the amazing things people could do with the game if i ever wanted to play on a server with my friends pretty much the only thing we would play were mini games on arcade servers like hypixel or mineplex

One of these servers was called shot bow and although it was an arcade server like the rest it had one game mode that was my first introduction to taking minecraft features and changing them completely while this game called mind z was not the best or most impressive

Thing i’d ever seen it did have several mechanics that were mind blowing to me at the time as the name might suggest mind z was a parody of the steam name daisy a game where there was one goal survive basically you were dropped into a map with nothing but a water bottle a

Wooden sword and a bandage a helpful healing item that would give you a few hearts when used the rest of the game involved exploring a map for loot chest while you were hunted by zombies that acted like they had just drunk about 12 monsters these zombies would track you

Based on how much noise you were making meaning that traveling faster was more likely to get you snuck up on by a horde of them you could play it safe and stay away from the big cities which usually had a much higher spawn rate of these zombies

But it was also necessary to loot at least a few of them because they would give you valuable loot like healing items and food these game mechanics were really nerve-wracking because zombies could just pop out of a bush without any warning and the worst part is that if

You ended up dying your loot wouldn’t just drop on the ground instead a zombie copy of you would spawn and use your own armor and weapons against you if you tried to get your loot back in situations like these you could get your friends to try and help you to get your

Loot back but usually your zombie self was surrounded by so many other zombies that it was almost impossible looking back at it now as impressive and fun as this minigame was at the time it has been majorly outclassed by more modern servers which brings me to quite literally the most impressive thing i

Have ever seen in minecraft wincraft [Applause] Now when i say this project is impressive i do mean impressive there are hundreds of things to do over a ginormous map and you can have fun in so many different ways are you more competitive are you more laid back well it doesn’t matter because there’s something for everybody to do but how

Did the server get to this point back in 2011 there was a small youtube channel called crafted movie run by a player named salted this channel as small as it was had enough of a backing to make its own minecraft server where salted built up a tight friend group

Including people like joomla and green yes that green how about just show floating double jewelry one day salted got the idea to make an mmorpg minecraft server and after dragging his friends into it as well as six months of work the first iteration of wincraft was born

Even in its very basic state the server was well received with many donating money towards its development at the time you could only get to level 70 with actual content ending at level 40 but the admins did not stop work on improving the game just a quick sidenote

I did say that level 70 was max but you could technically get to level 71 with a glitch all you needed to do was get the total amount of xp from level 1 to level 70 again so only the super sweaty gamers went after it one thing i love about the

Server is that the admins decided to keep little things like this in and it’s still a feature today hey look at me i got level 106 after 20 billion hours of grinding are you proud of me yet no now i could take like five hours to tell you

What was added when and all the different updates but i’m not gonna do that because it’s super boring and i like watch time so i’m gonna leave a link in the description which has all the history stuff for anybody who wants to read it i’m gonna move on to the

Actual gameplay and why i like it so much when you load into the map for the first time the first thing you’ll notice is how beautiful this map is like does anybody remember that old herobrine’s mansion custom map well imagine taking that detail adding all the modern blocks

To minecraft and then expanding it by like a thousand times remember how i mentioned that green is one of the admins well he’s known for building so if this map isn’t beautiful i don’t know what is seeing as this map is totally custom there are also tons of secret

Locations quest areas bosses and just so much more but we’ll get to that just just be patient you can’t have everything at once you probably haven’t even subscribed and rung the bell yet it’s free you know moving on a good game can’t just have good looks though it has to be fun to

Play too so what do we actually have to play the game with good question random person i made up in my head right before you spawn in there’s a little menu where you can choose from a total of five different classes to use on the server first off you have your warrior class

With high attack damage and defense next you have the assassin a slightly speedier build that sacrifices some of its defense for attack damage that’s followed by the archer your long range class that does decent damage but has the health of a wet spaghetti noodle i’m not joking if you get near anything is

Just say goodbye and then you have the mage this is the class that i made and while it has average stats on mostly everything it is super powered in just one spells now i saved mentioning spells for now for one reason they are so overpowered i mean just look

At what some of these things can do it’s insane it’s also just super impressive to see something like this implemented into a vanilla minecraft server like literally this is just like armor stands or command blocks or something i i don’t know how they do it of course you can

Get armor that buffs your main attacks instead of spells but where’s the fun in that i don’t know about you guys but i’d rather use a bunch of cool abilities instead of just clicking my mouse for 10 minutes okay i’m editing this video right now and a couple days ago salted

Actually came out with a live stream about how they’re gonna change up spells a little bit generally it looks like it’ll be the same but they’re gonna be changing up how you get the spells and how a couple of them look and work and stuff so just keep that in mind but back

To the video now the mage class takes the idea of spells and runs with it having crazy cool ones like a heal and a teleport spell now i know this makes it sound like the mage is wildly overpowered but the dev team has actually done a great job balancing this

With each of the four other classes but that brings me to the final class shaman this is the class that i would tell you to choose if you wanted to challenge playing through the server because it plays completely differently from the other four with the other four classes

You’re generally going to be looking at an enemy clicking it or using spells to deal damage but with the shaman your entire playstyle is built around your totem spell when you use this spell it chucks out a giant stone pole looking thing that deals a little bit of damage

To enemies in its radius as well as healing you for some help now you might think this sounds fine you get passive healing while attacking the mobs around you but trust me this server makes it a challenge unlike a lot of other servers windcraft is more focused on boss mobs

Versus swarms of mobs which is what shaman is suited for even the shaman’s other spells are built around the totem spell with one of the abilities dealing damage around the totem and another one pulling you towards the totem even though it’s a bit of a challenge at

Times this class is still very fun to play and you can get through most of the game without much trouble but what’s the goal of this game well it depends on your individual playstyle on the most basic level your goal is to gain xp in

Order to level up and be able to use more items that do more damage and have cooler abilities that being said there are two major ways for you to gain xp quests and killing mobs killing mobs goes exactly how it sounds like where you can spend some time at different

Grind spots around the map to get yourself a few levels with different areas of the map giving better or worse xp based on your level the other and in my opinion much more interesting way of leveling up is quests you can tell that the windcraft team has

Put hours of time into making each and every one of the 262 quests unique and fun to play whether it’s getting ingredients for budget gordon ramsay defeating the leader of a secret organization trying to take over the world getting bids on illegal items in the city black market or eating one too

Many shall i say special mushrooms and then going on a magical trip through a rainbow forest and then meeting a talking frog what is this quest okay yeah that one’s a little bit weird but it’s still fun of course there will be times where you don’t quite know what

To do or where to go but generally your quest book does a great job of telling you what to do also the map has tons of little trails and little clues about where you’re supposed to go in most situations these quests are so interesting to go through and while

Grinding mobs is a little bit faster quests feel amazing to complete giving you tons of emeralds the in-game currency as well as armor weapons and accessories that can help you survive further into the game speaking of items the server has literally thousands to choose from you can build your character

In any way you want focusing on anything from spell damage to main damage walk speed higher defense literally anything this is one reason i like the server so much is that there’s just so many different ways to play with so many items as for getting these items they’re

Usually dropped by mobs or found in loot chests around the map in the form of an identifiable box that can be opened for a few emeralds once identified the item will have random stats so if you get a really good roll on a really good item

You can choose to sell it on the public trade market with the best end game items going for more money monage with the best endgame items going for more money than a gallon of gas in the us but what’s the point of winning the best armor you might ask well the

Answer comes in the form of the many server boss fights i do have to say that wayne craft has the best boss fights i’ve ever seen and they’re a big reason i wanted to make this video there’s nothing more satisfying than going into an endgame boss and finally beating it

To get the rewards it has and the best part is there’s so many to choose from the most generic type of boss you might see are boss altars basically these are activated by collecting a certain amount of item that spawns for mobs nearby once you get enough of the item you can

Activate the boss altar fight the boss and get a pretty good item for that level there are currently 14 different altars ranging from level 20 to level 101 but by far the most interesting is the level 101 bottomless pit boss this fight is genuinely terrifying because the boss drains you to one percent

Health every five seconds leaving you completely vulnerable to any attack it’s generally a really good idea to have a bunch of health regen for this fight or just be a mage because it has heal spell i told you mage was opie he’ll spell spam each of the other alters have their own

Gameplay elements that you have to watch out for like the level 99 boss orange ribble basically you fight this boss in an arena filled with pressure plates that if you step on them bring in tons of extra mobs to distract you as for other challenges the second type of boss

You will encounter are from dungeons basically the idea of a dungeon is that you need a key to get in that is dropped by a special key guardian that spawns nearby That spawns nearby once inside there will be a mix of puzzles parkour and mini bosses followed by a final boss while many of these dungeons do have special mechanics or ways to kill the boss the most impressive of these is the dungeon called eldritch outlook this dungeon

Starts out with some average mini bosses in parkour but the highlight is the final boss the giant eye there are so many things to keep track of in this fight including features that can one shot or trap the players if they aren’t careful and well prepared

This dungeon is so hard that being able to beat it by yourself is a huge accomplishment but okay that’s not enough of a challenge for you i see well then you need to check out the legendary challenge on legendary island a giant gauntlet of 10 of the hardest bosses in

The game that you have to beat in one try in order to get the best rewards if you die at any point along the way you lose all your progress as well as the money you put into it as the in-game story says dr legendary traveled all

Around the world to find the strongest characters he could so that he could improve their powers in every way possible to create the hardest challenge ever this basically means he took a bunch of already strong bosses from quests and stuff and fed them mega steroids until they’re more powerful than thanos

Except for this one it’s just kind of a sleeping simulator there’s also a bit of dialogue somewhere about him wanting to improve the boss kira from the hero hive but decided not to something about her threatening him with a fate worse than death or something generic like that i

Don’t know wow guys she must be from cleveland come on down to cleveland town everyone under construction since 1868 see our river the catch is on fire once you beat the entire challenge you get some tokens which can be traded in for some of the best items in the game but

There is one more thing that makes this entire fight look like we boxing much like in other games raid bosses are events that require multiple players to start not only are they the hardest challenges in the game with even the best teams losing some raids but they give absolutely incredible rewards there

Are currently three raids on the map two if you exclude this one it’s kind of average to be honest but the other two the canyon colossus and orpheon’s nexus of light are absolutely incredible and require the strongest armor you can get once a large enough party starts the

Raid they will be teleported to three random pre-boss challenges each of these challenges aren’t too hard but are followed by a room which rewards you with a random buff which are absolutely crucial to beating the final boss each of these buffs are insane and without them you’d literally die in about 2

Seconds after you are finally able to beat the hardest and craziest boss of your life you can finally claim the loot chest and gain some really nice rewards including the new tome items that give your characters permanent buffs now i feel like i’ve done a pretty good job at

Making the server sound cool but there has to be a downside right and i mean it can be laggy sometimes but that’s just like any other server but you know what it does have that other servers don’t epic music i mean just listen to this it’s note blocks but yet it sounds so

Good as long as the server’s not lagging because then the music kind of lags but you know we we just ignore that part at the end of the day whether you like it or not this is such an impressive thing to pull off in minecraft without any

Mods needed to play you could literally load up the ip right now and start playing as long as you have minecraft you technically don’t even need the texture pack but it would be kind of confusing playing without it now i’d really recommend playing the server especially if you only play on mini game

Servers because it’s a great look into a game that has more story as well as tons of lore oh yeah did i not mention there’s lower yeah i bet game theory can make a bunch of videos on this server anyways if you enjoyed this peek into my favorite server you might enjoy my

Discord server in the description also check out this video where i got the maximum speed possible in windcraft thanks for watching you
