MCBE Recovers From the I3 Purge

EditorialPublished November 22, 2023Byシリアル-V

Following I3’s sale, deletions, and purges across several major MCBE servers, the community began rebuilding quickly through replacement servers and reorganized leadership rather than simply collapsing. The article outlined how Minecraft Bureau, a restored Gladiator Network, a new MCBE Promotions, and a rebuilt ARASR were all emerging to fill the power vacuum left behind, though each remained smaller or more unstable than what had existed before.

I3 sold MCBE Realm Hub to Herm, deleted MCBE Promotions and ARASR, and seemingly banned most members from Gladiator Network. The collective value of all these Servers did not simply disappear - people are starting to make new ones already. So let's recap the current start of the Servers and power vacuums:

  • MCBE Realm Hub - or the new UniqueShield Support Server - was completely destroyed (for the third time now...). Dyno (the bot) is now directing people to Minecraft Bureau as its successor - even as The Official Realm Hub voted to rebranded to MCBE Realm Hub. According to Herm, Roman now owns the old MCBE Realm Hub. Minecraft Bureau has over 400 members - very fast growth.
  • Gladiator Network was never deleted - I3 transferred ownership to an alternate account owned by him and a co-owner, then purged channels, roles, and members after he noticed that he lost access to the account. The Server was restored by said co-owner (ava_86 / CelestialWolf365), who now owns it and will attempt to continue the Server. Gladiator Network currently has 134 members - a fraction of the pre-purge statistic.
  • Neon219 (and much of the Realm Support staff team) created a new MCBE Promotions Server. It currently has 41 members - much less than the original.
  • A new ARASR Server was created, owned by Optic Spiderant (who inherited it from the original creator of ARAS - Point) and co-owned by NoVa Gh0ul. They have completely disconnected from I3, and released a statement (in their channel "ARASR news" ( currently not a MCBE News competitor), accusing him of terrible things (but not providing any evidence for the reason of privacy and sensitivity). They currently have 99 members - much less than the original.
