BlockGame.US will be going unwhitelisted within the coming days. This is not a decision I made lightly, and it honestly hurts to even type this out. We worked unbelievably hard on this server (I can't thank @vops enough). A lot of time, effort, and genuine passion went into BlockGame, and at this point I am just not able to show for it or give it what it deserves.
Instead of leaving the server whitelisted and having people wait around for something that realistically is not coming anytime soon, I would rather be honest and unwhitelist it than continue wasting people’s time. BlockGame is not being dramatic or erased from existence. I am simply no longer actively pushing for development, and I would rather say that plainly than pretend otherwise.
What Will and Will Not Be Playable
Unfortunately, you will not be able to access a lot of our either in-progress or scrapped content. Sorry about that. Practice is nearly fully functional, and Bunkers is completely finished.
Soup was almost completely finished outside of a few kits not being done and a huge backlog of kits that never got finished or never even got started code-wise. Because of that, Soup most likely will not be playable. I might have Vops put Soup up later if interest is high enough, but no promises, sorry lol.
Burnout, PvP, and Reality
I am extremely burned out on Minecraft PvP. I lost most of my passion for it last year, it briefly came back, and now it is just gone again. I started playing PvP servers back in Minecraft beta 1.6(ish), and PvP meant a lot to me as it shaped who I was heavily.
Watching how parts of this community behave over and over has completely killed my hope for things getting better. The way people have been acting toward Prplz since he has been back is genuinely disgusting. He is just trying to provide a fun experience all these years later, and most people still cannot accept even the smallest amount of change. That is exactly why nothing ever improves and probably never will.
This is a huge choice to make, and it really hurts. This project meant so much to me, but I do not feel like living in delusion anymore. It is not fun to keep being hit in the face by reality time and time again while also disappointing people over and over again.
Where You Can Play Instead
If you want something to actually play right now, I genuinely recommend checking out Kohi.
If you want classic 1.7 gameplay instead of legacy on modern, check out Anteiku. These guys rock, and BlockGame shared a lot of similarities with their project.
Something That Needs to Be Said
The biggest thing I want to reiterate is this: be nice to those who care about you as a player.
Since BlockGame whitelisting in 2023, I have received 439 individual death threats along with countless other insults in DMs (holy cringe did she really tally them all? Yes, I did), all while just trying to open up a fun Minecraft server. I had people try to go after my family, and I had people I was friends with turn into enemies and mock me at every step, all because I wanted to create a cool place to click against other players on an even and fun playing field.
Thank You
I also want to give an insanely huge shoutout to xDuke and Ayli (& co). Without you all, I genuinely would have given up so much earlier, and I would have missed out on a lot of moments that ended up becoming core memories for me. You kept me going when I really did not want to anymore.
Thank you to every staff member and playtester who gave their time, feedback, and energy from the very beginning. You all meant more to me than you probably realize. I am sorry this had to come to such a sad ending.
Also a huge thank you to AbHi for giving me a chance to continue BlockGame’s legacy. Much love to every single one of you, and I truly hope I can make it up to you someday.
If you have any questions of any nature about BlockGame at all, do not hesitate to reach out. I aim to be sincere and transparent about everything I am able to talk about.
I do not regret any of this. We kept something real alive longer than it probably should have lasted, and I am thankful for everyone who supported it and believed in it. If you never got to play due to a lot of you joining after our mid-2023 whitelist incident, I am truly sorry for making you wait this long just to result in this outcome.
Thank you to everyone who was here for it. May 2026 and beyond treat you well.
