The TomBobBlender Show Minecraft server is a Minecraft game server hosted by Minecraft Bread.

History

First Launch

The TomBobBlender Show Minecraft Server officially opened on February 13th, 2011 as a semi-vanilla survival server running on the Bukkit server software and was hosted by Xenon Server. When it started, the server had only basic functionality such as general admin commands such as /give, /kick, and /ban and a set of plugins to aid in combatting griefers such as WorldGuard and WorldEdit to disallow the modification of certain regions.

Acquisition of Features

Throughout its life, The TomBobBlender Show Minecraft server gained and lost features as Minecraft and Bukkit went from version to version. Some of the more significant features are

  • Virtual economy systems
  • Skill and leveling systems
  • Writable books (before they were implemented in the official game)
  • The Nether (before it was implemented in the official multiplayer server)
  • Warps
  • Logging plugins
  • Plugins to aid in the creation of rail and redstone systems.

Many of these features were later discarded at some point to favor a more survival oriented game type.

Decline

As the server grew older, it lost more and more activity until around the server's one year anniversary, TomBobBlender was met with a tight budget caused by moving and living expenses and was forced to stop payments on the Minecraft server resulting in its closure on Xenon Servers. Prior to its removal from the service, its files were downloaded for use at a later date.

Second Launch

On Sunday, December 2nd, 2012, approximately 10 months after the server's closure, TomBobBlender made the decision to purchase another Minecraft server for his community. With the help of the previous administrator of the server, Foxtrot200, The TomBobBlender Show Minecraft Server was revived with a different world and a new set of server plugins, performing similar tasks to the now outdated plugins that ran on the old server.

Current State

The TomBobBlender Show Minecraft Server is currently running and healthy on MinecraftBread.net. It features plugins for general purpose commands, world protection, world management, and an online map.
