Best Snapshot Minecraft Servers

A short summary
The KnarCraft Minecraft server was originally created in 2011, and was then just called Knar World. It was quite active in 2012-2013, but due to various factors, it wasn’t feasible for me to keep hosting it 24/7. It has been online periodically, and it’s been updated for every version from Minecraft 1.0 to Minecraft 1.18. Some buildings and creations have been lost to time, but the original KnarWorld map is still a part of the server. The survival map is a new one created on 1.17. The PlotWorld world is the same old one, including the buildings from the ancient Freebuild. The hub was created to have a place for minigames and arenas, and features working versions of arenas from KnarWorld.

A map of the server is available at: https://map.mc.knarcraft.net. This map allows you to see all worlds from the four servers.

The KnarCraft BungeeCord networkKnarCraft changed from Multiworld to BungeeCord in 2013 to allow unique plugins for each world and for better performance on multi-core CPUs.
The servers are tied together using my fork of Stargate, which is also used for navigation on the servers.
HubThe Hub server is the server every new player arrives at. It’s the server used for minigames, pvp and parkour. It currently has four PVP arenas, two mob arenas, two CTF arenas, a Spleef arena and a BlockHunt minigame.
CommandsThe Hub server has clickable signs for joining minigames, but if you for some reason want to, or need, to manually join a minigame, here’s the basic commands:

/ pa join – Used to join a PVPArena arena

/ma join – Used to join a MobArena arena

/bh join – Used to join BlockHunt

SurvivalThe Survival server is a basic Survival server using factions as the main method for protection. Citizens and mcMMO are used to add some RPG elements as well. Factions don’t expire, so you don’t need to worry about your faction disappearing if you haven’t played for a week.

While Factions is used to protect land, you can lock chests by right-clicking them with a sign.
CommandsThe survival world has a bunch of commands, but here are some of the important ones:

/f create – Used to create a new faction

/f claim one – Used to claim a chunk for your faction

/spawn – Used to go to the spawn

/home – Used to go to your home

/sethome – Used to set your home

/back – Used to go back after teleporting to spawn or a player

/tpa – Used to request teleportation to a player

/qs journal – Used to get your quest journal. Some NPCs can offer quests

PlotWorldPlotWorld is the creative server. As the name implies, you choose a plot and can build whatever you want inside that plot. Each plot is 500×500 blocks. You can use WorldEdit inside your plot, though there is a block limit to prevent lag.
CommandsPlotWorld has relatively few plugins compared to the other servers, but some important commands exist:

/plot claim – Used to clam the plot you’re standing in, assuming it’s available

/plot auto – Used to automatically claim a random empty plot

/plot home – Used to go to your plot from anywhere in PlotWorld

/spawn – Used to go to the spawn

KnarWorldThe KnarWorld server features the original world from 2011. This was turned into a showcase world after some major griefing. After the new terraint generation in 1.18 though, KnarWorld has been expanded with new 1.18 terrain. While you can only look at things in survival within the original KnarWorld, it’s been made possible to freely build in Creative outside the original areas.
CommandsKnarWorld has the following useful comands:

/spawn – Used to go back to the spawn

/fly – Used to toggle fly mode

/speed – Used to set walking speed if walking and fly speed if flying

/warp – Used to warp to various locations

/gamemode – Used to switch between survival and spectator mode
