Season 3
Beginning in June 2023 with the release of update 1.20, and ending in June 2025 with update 1.21.5, season 3 of Junicraft brought yet another brand new world on a brand new seed, with new ideas for the community abound.
Season 3 brought a new focus on worldbuilding and lore, centered on a humans vs zombies post-apocalyptic setting.
Throughout it all, Junicraft has remained a chill and welcoming place for anyone who is seeking to play Minecraft with friends.
The season has just ended, but recruitment is always ongoing, so if you would like to join in and get a fresh start along side both new and established community members, then feel free to apply now!

Timeline of Season 3
May 2023
Planning begins for Season 3
Juni begins planning for Season 3. She, along with the community, has decided to focus more on worldbuilding and lore for the new season to help with inspiration for builds.
June 11 2023
A seed is chosen
Juni begins to set the table for the new season, choosing a seed and making sure all plugins and datapacks are up to date. She treads new ground by focusing on worldbuilding, learning new things as she goes along.
It is decided that a guild system should be implemented for players to trade goods and services. How exactly this will look remains to be decided.
Juni also decided to temporarily block the Nether and the End for the start of this season to give everyone time to prepare to tackle them together as a community.
June 16 2023
Launch
Season 3 goes live on the server running version 1.20.1. A ruined Nether portal is built at spawn to serve as the center of the spawn hub.
June 30 2023
Thriving
Two weeks after launch, the End remains closed, but preparations are beginning for its opening. Guilds and shops have been set up in and around spawn to facilitate easier trading. (Picture is dated July 19 2023)
July 15 2023
The End opens
The End opens and the Junicraft community tackles the Ender Dragon together. Getting to the End proves to be a greater challenge than the Dragon herself.
July 26 2023
mcMMO and Oh the Dungeons are added
mcMMO and Oh the Dungeons, two community favorite plugins, are added to the server. Together they help give players even more of a reason to play and explore together.
August 2023
Ultimate Seashell Hunter 2023
Juni creates a summer event for the server: dinosaur nugget-shaped sea shells have been hidden in the ocean west of spawn. Players are tasked with collecting as many as possible and turning them in for a prize.
After a fierce competition between two community members, Oddie and Elin, Oddie comes out on top as the ultimate dino nuggie collector.
October 2023
Halloween Event 2023
For Halloween, Juni’s favorite holiday, Juni officially begins the annual Junicraft Halloween Event, in which players are tasked with building a spooky scary Halloween-related build within a designated area west of spawn.
The theme for this Halloween is an amusement park, so players can build scary attractions, stalls, and other things you’d expect to see at an amusement park.
November 2023
Cooling down for fall/winter
The Halloween Build Contest is extended into November. A Friendsgiving/Turkey Hunt is hosted in which players band together to hunt down a “turkey”.
December 2023
Christmas celebration
The Halloween Build Contest concludes; all participants receive a Vampire Cape—an elytra with special enchantments and particle effects.
The community gets together to build a special Christmas Village and begins to decorate spawn for winter.
Planning also begins for a Nether hub community build.
January 2024
Self-Guided Base Tour
For the New Year, in reflection for how far the community has come, a self-guided base tour is launched. Visitors can collect 14 badges for visiting certain builds from various community members for the Vex Armor Trim as a reward.
February 2024
Overworld paths
The next community build project is announced. The community is invited to help build paths in the Overworld to connect a few of the builds surrounding spawn. During this time, the server’s lore is officially introduced:
100 years after a sculk apocalypse and a miasmic fog outbreak that turned people ravenous, worldwide wars broke out, resulting in the ruins that dot the world today.
March 2024
Juni is sorry
Events in Juni’s personal life prevent her from playing much Minecraft at this time. Despite that, community events continue regularly as scheduled, such as mcMMO Double XP Weekends, movie nights, and community build days.
May 2024
Juni is still sorry
Juni is still unable to play consistently due to events in her personal life. She still remains committed to hosting community build days, game nights, movie nights, and more events.
Community members such as Krimm host their own community events in the meantime.
