"Every block has a story."
Welcome![]
A zoomed out image of The Old World taken in 2022. The borders of the original map are clearly visible.
The Old World is a Minecraft world that has existed for over ten years. It was originally generated on the Xbox 360 on May 13th, 2012. The map size at the time was only 864 x 864 with a 128 block height. Later on, it was converted over to the Xbox One, expanded to an infinite map, and is now available to be played on the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft.
Over the years, many contributions have been made to the world by a variety of players. This gave me the idea to start documenting its digital history. The great thing about Minecraft is that the game is never-ending. Players join and make their contributions, and the world constantly evolves over time. Therefore, preserving this history and the stories behind those efforts is important. It helps to create a more engaging experience.
Throughout this wiki, you'll learn the history of The Old World. You'll read details on all of the existing builds and even some that no longer exist. You'll read the stories of the "Oldies" that worked on these projects and learn about things that happened years before you ever set foot on the map.
Where do you come in?[]
We're looking to grow an active community in Minecraft and you're invited! Help add to the history of this world. The only requirement is that you're over the age of 21. Exceptions can be made for parents who want to play with their kids, but all we ask is that they're not on the mic and you see to it that they respect the Rules of the Server.
Other than that, players of all styles and skill levels are welcome to join!
-Want to leave your mark on the world? You can build one thing, or you can build several things.
-Running short on ideas? Take a look at our available builds and help finish one of them.
-Not a builder? No problem. Head out into the unknown and try to survive. Spend your time charting the many unexplored areas of the world that have yet to be seen by human eyes.
-Have an interest in writing and want to help expand this Wiki? It’s appreciated! And it doesn’t even require an account.
-Enjoy playing in worlds with other people, but not much of a talker? Don’t worry. Chat clients are optional, but we have a Discord available for whoever may want to use voice chat (link below).
-More interested in events? We have at least one a month, so be sure to keep an eye out for those.
Whatever you want to do, you can do. Just be respectful to other players, their creations, and respect the rules.
What exactly do you mean by active?[]
Being active does not mean that you're expected to be online all the time. As much as we'd all probably like to get on more than we're able to, we all have obligations outside of the game. So don't worry about being removed, or your builds being destroyed if you can't get on for several days. However, you are expected to participate in our monthly activity checks that occur in the Discord during the last three days of each month.
This is just because our goal is to keep a steady flow of players coming in and out of the server. Should you decide to leave our Discord, you'll be removed from the server. However, you'll always be welcome back at a later time as long as space is available. The Old World has existed for over ten years, so I don't think it's going anywhere. But keep in mind that any builds that are part of any ongoing community projects may no longer be available if you do decide to come back.
The server will remain active as long as players are using it. The sustainability of the server depends on its community and their interest in helping to grow it. As long as there is a steady flow of players, the server will be there for whoever wants to use it.
The Capital. The oldest and most central community in The Old World.
How do you join?[]
Since the majority of our advertising is done on Facebook, you can reach out to the original poster if you're interested in becoming a member of the Server. You will then be asked to join our Discord and answer a few questions about yourself. This is just an added security measure to help keep track of who is coming in and out of the server. It also adds an extra layer of communication between members.
After you are approved, you'll be whitelisted and given access to the server using the information that will be provided to you
