Hidden within the depths of an old 4 TB hard drive of mine is a massive dump of screenshots from over the course of 2019 as a whole. I recently uncovered it while looking for the July 2019 SMP world that I posted about earlier. Due to the fact that I had multiple installations of Minecraft at the time, they are split into multiple sets:
- Set #1 is by far the largest of the bunch, with 879 screenshots.
This set consists of things like unofficial TF events with Jaygolf, the SMP servers, and everything else. It paints a great picture of the culture of the server and how it shifted over the course of that year.
- Set #2 is more geared towards the SMP server, but still has about 55 screenshots.
This set consists of a very specific time period in which I was running a separate installation of Minecraft (likely to play on the SMP server, which had at that point gained a version upgrade if I remember correctly).
While we were just having fun at the time of these screenshots, little did many know that behind the scenes a group of staff members were gaining influence rapidly and their grasp over the server as a whole was getting firmer and tighter. The gears were turning in the background, we just didn't know what was going on until it was almost too late.
DISCLAIMER: Some of the screenshots included in this dump contain offensive language. I uploaded them unmodified for a number of reasons. Firstly, it would be tedious to go through every screenshot and manually censor every slur in every screenshot that has them. Secondly, I don't want to tamper with historical screenshots. As such, viewer discretion is advised.
