Even though Minecraft is played by people of all ages, many multiplayer servers are not friendly to younger audiences and may allow toxicity, profanity, and other sorts of harmful behavior. Many servers also attempt to provide their players with significant advantages in the form of items or perks in exchange for their hard-earned money, which could lead to economic burden, among other consequences. Lastly, many servers nowadays arguably lack uniqueness and engagement, making it difficult to be creative and to come up with unique ideas that could provide a more enjoyable multiplayer experience.

Upon reviewing these flaws, there is a need for a multiplayer experience that is friendly to all, fair to all, as well as engaging and fun. Moonscape Network is an answer to that call.

Moonscape Network is an ongoing Minecraft server passion project that started in April of 2023. It is currently a small server that will evolve to become a network of mini-games for players of all ages to enjoy!

Are you tired of boring old Minecraft servers where you just mine and craft all day? Well, have we got the server for you! Join us on our wacky and wild Minecraft SMP where the only limit is your imagination (and maybe a few server rules, but who reads those anyway?).

Picture this: you log on to the server and immediately get attacked by a gang of chickens riding pigs. Don’t worry, they’re friendly (we think). Then, you stumble upon a secret underground lair filled with llamas wearing top hats and monocles. Why are they so fancy? Who knows, but they sure do make for great conversation partners.

But wait, there’s more! Join our weekly “Build Battle Royale” where players compete to build the most ridiculous structures imaginable. From giant toilets to pixel art of Nicolas Cage, nothing is off limits. And the winner gets a prize that may or may not be a stack of dirt blocks (hey, we never said it was a good prize).

So come on down to our Minecraft SMP and join in on the madness. Who knows what kind of shenanigans you’ll get into, but one thing’s for sure – you’ll never be bored again.
