Mineplex was a Minecraft minigame server created in 2013 by Gregory Bylos and Jarred van de Voort.[4][5] In 2016, Mineplex had millions of unique players monthly.[6] At its peak, the server had around 20,000 concurrent players at any given time.[7] Mineplex won the Guinness World Records award on January 28, 2015, for having 34,434 concurrent players, the most on a Minecraft server at the time.[8] This record was later lost to Hypixel the same year.[9]
Mineplex's popularity on the Java Edition of Minecraft rapidly declined after its peak years,[10] while the Bedrock Edition counterpart averaged 4,000+ concurrent players.[11] After years of decline, Mineplex abruptly ceased its operations on May 11, 2023. Following the closure, former admin and Overwatch content creator Samito stated on social media that he had acquired Mineplex and plans on re-opening it sometime in the future. Mineplex is actively undergoing a rebuild and modernization effort. Closed Beta started on 9th August 2024 5Pm est (10PM BST) [12]
