The article recapped July 2023 as a busy month for the MCBE Realms community, highlighting growing summer activity, rising traction for projects like Realm Support and THOMB, increased fake ARAS chat-spam attacks, changes within Realm Hub, and updates to Paradox Anticheat. It also noted that MCBE News planned to return to consistent publishing and mentioned upcoming articles, along with Smoothie/Ozorical’s return to the community without reopening CrabSMP.
First of all, happy August! Not that anyone celebrates it (that we know of), but it's just good once in a while to note that a month has passed. Now, on to the article!
This is the first time MCBE News has done a recap of a month. We're still trying this thing out - just like daily articles. So, uh, don't be too critical. Thanks! -Gur
July started with the mostly steady hum of the MCBE Realms Community in summer - many people are on breaks from school, so Realm activity and such are bound to go up. One Server that rode on this trend was Realm Support, which started in late May and was able to gain steady traction in the beginning of Summer Break. THOMB, which was also started in May (though a little earlier), continued its research stages and compiled a lot of information into its Figma file. Chat-spam attacks on Realms by the fake ARAS Server also saw a rise as Crashary fell out of relevance.
MCBE News acknowledged its recent inactivity and pledged to begin posting frequent articles again. Then came late July: The Official Realm Hub saw an owner change, a HUGE member influx, and, of course, its recent name change. The documentary THOMB was completely revamped and reimagined by its owner, Kava. Paradox Anticheat updated, and a few other events are brewing right now.
As promised, MCBE News is now more active than ever - we just passed a full week of releasing an article every single day. We also have a few interesting articles in planning, including an opinion piece by Frazer and an interview with a former hacker. We have also noted that Smoothie, the former owner of CrabSMP and someone who was involved with NRIS, has decided to return to MCBE with the new username Ozorical. He said he has applied for staff in Realm Bot and will "maybe start getting into MCBE development", but will not reopen CrabSMP.
