MCA History

Our Organization's Historical Journey

Below, you will find a comprehensive overview of our collective history. For a detailed exploration of our past, please visit our Willben Archives page, which contains primary documents, milestone records, and additional context about our organization's development.

Early History

Founded on December 5th, 2021, in Minot, North Dakota by Aiden Skates, our organization began with what is now referred to as "The First Server." This initial server existed for approximately one and a half months, spanning from December 5th, 2021, to early January 2022.

Despite its short duration, two significant events during this time would profoundly shape our group's trajectory:

• The First War: A conflict between the Dream Kingdom and rebellion forces that became a pivotal moment in our early history.
• The Story of the Five: A foundational narrative highlighting the original founders and key individuals who shaped our organization.

Notable individuals during this formative period included:

• Aiden Skates
• Brett Gorkie
• Random
• William Rector

Following the conclusion of the first server, our organization entered a transitionary phase characterized by multiple short-lived servers. This period was marked by several important developments:

• The establishment of Mount Muffin News, our first printed newspaper
• The foundation of OPS (Over Powered Society)

Realms

Following our transitionary phase, the organization experienced significant growth with the establishment of our first realm, United Craft, founded by William Rector in March 2022. This Minecraft Realm marked a new era in our community's development. During the United Craft period, several noteworthy developments occurred:

• The rise and fall of SHIELD, a security organization founded by William Rector that assumed many of OPS's operational responsibilities
• A significant conflict between SHIELD and an opposition group known as "the rebellion," which ultimately led to SHIELD's dissolution

Key figures during this period included:

• Aiden Skates
• Brett Grokie
• William Rector

In May 2022, United Craft evolved into what became known as the Chameleon Server, established by then-group president Aiden Skates. This server operated from May 2022 to October 2022 and witnessed several significant developments:

• The establishment of Honey-Acre Farms
• The Frooty-Looper attacks, a series of coordinated actions by Random and Aiden Skates
• The founding of Eithiopia, a kingdom created by William Rector that would later heavily influence Innovation Craft

The Dormant Period and Renaissance

Following the conclusion of the Chameleon Server in October 2022, our organization entered a period of dormancy that lasted nearly nine months. This hiatus ended on July 31st, 2023, with the launch of Innovation Craft, marking a significant rebirth for our community. Two pivotal developments characterized this transitional period:

• The strategic shift to Minecraft Java Edition
• A change in leadership, with William Rector assuming the role of President

This period of transformation laid the groundwork for our subsequent evolution into the current Java Server era.
