JDS Workshop - History

On 3/7/23, A good friend, Minequaftor, and I made this modpack to make peer-to-peer modded Minecraft sessions better. Its original name was Multiplayer and Friends, and that was its only purpose at first. We put it on CurseForge for the public mostly because we could do it in just a couple clicks. There wasn’t any big reason behind it. Because of that, we didn’t expect much. We definitely underestimated how much it would grow, and it ended up getting pretty popular.

We introduced a new fork of the modpack that became the main version, called Multiplayer Craft LITE. We aren’t exactly sure when the name change happened, but it’s assumed it was sometime around May.

January 14, 2024

The first Creative modded server launched, hosted from my main computer. It was only played on by friends.

We reached 1,001 downloads and kept growing, hitting 1.5k and then 1.6k in the weeks that followed. I don’t know the exact details of the milestones or when we hit them.

This is a screenshot from when i checked the downloads and posted it in the discord. as you can see, Minequaftor is.. indoubtely excited.

March 2024

We partnered with Bisect Hosting to run our server, which was an amazing opportunity for the modpack and the community. It made hosting easier, improved performance, and helped more people join and play together.

This is from when i updated the modpack description..

April 21st, 2024

We hit 1,900 downloads and made a poll to let the community choose a mod for the update I was working on. It was a fun way to get people involved and have a say in the modpack’s direction.

This is a screenshot from the discord where i asked what mod we should add.

May 11th, 2024

We hit 2,000 downloads, which was a huge shock. I haven’t the foggiest how much we updated it between January 15 and May 11, but I’m guessing it was a pretty good amount.

Mom did not get the camera :(

May 2024

In May of 2024, my interest in modding kinda dissolved. I became more interested in different games. I hoped to get back into the buisness in september of 2024 but life, BSA, and other commitments got into the way.

As well as that, i tried cancelling the modpack MULTIPLE times because i wasnt getting the support i needed.. But i did change my mind after i stopped supporting the modpack..

Febuary 4th, 2025.

February 4th was the day I realized it had hit 200 downloads without any updates. Because of that, I made a decision and redid everything about the modpack. New mods, a new logo, and especially a new theme. Around this time, my partnership with Minequaftor fizzled out and we went our separate ways (we're just friends. Im not gay).

This is the new Multiplayer Craft logo.

We got 3,002 downloads. It took a little under a year to get 1,000 downloads.. so yeah :)

Life got in the way. Yeah… again. I know. Four days later, I created Project: sandbox.

No image for this.

Thanks for reading! This page was created to document the history of my first big project. It was hard work and i would seriously do it again.
