Mineplex return: Popular Minecraft server relaunching with paid subscriptions
MineplexThe popular Minecraft server Mineplex is finally returning with a brand-new relaunch as Mineplex Studio, which will charge users for subscriptions. In spite of the fact that the acquisition of the server occurred earlier this year, it will be returning shortly. Here is everything we know about it.
Mineplex stands out as a hub for exploration, competition, and innovation in Minecraft’s enormous and ever-expanding globe. Since its beginning, Mineplex has been one of the most popular Minecraft servers out there, thanks to its wide variety of game modes and friendly community of users.
In early 2023, however, the server’s founders stunned fans by announcing in a cryptic Discord post that the servers will be shut down. In such a case, former Overwatch pro and YouTube streamer Samito soon contacted the founders, acquired the company and declared their intention to rebuild Mineplex from the ground up and release it later this year.
As it turns out, Mineplex is set to return to Minecraft, but will shortly be relaunched as Mineplex Studio, which will charge users for subscriptions and more. Here’s all we know so far.
