Hey,
@ciken suggested a new type of SMP server with a modpack called FTB Revelations.
This is a total conversion mod that basically turns minecraft into another game, with much deeper progression and tons of new features.
 
Mod list
FTB Revelation videos
As it's very different from vanilla minecraft and could be an interesting and refreshing server.
If you have questions about the mod, @ciken should be able to answer them.

What do you guys think about starting such a server?

Thank you @Cena you did a very great job! Salute ❤️

Hi guys. I have been in this community since 2012 and active since 2014. I did a lot and did my best for this community. Not everyone was happy with my decisions, but I definitely did what I thought is best by that moment. 
I have been admin, map manager, server manager since 2015 till 2018. I took my ownership then in 2019 and it is Oct 2020. Almost 2 years doing my best and trying to host events and planning new servers and projects for the community.
These projects are still in progress and I will be reviewing them and manage them. @AfuSensi will be taking over with the community and manages everything and have the final decision in everything. 
Thanks to everyone who supported me in the last 2 years. It really means a lot to me and I very much appreciate the help everyone of you did. Whether it was financial support or spiritual. You all are part of who I am today. 
Good luck @AfuSensi.

I am trying to contact old Mr. Green Minecraft players to get more information about how our server was. If you guys think can help me out, then contact me in forum PM or in discord please Cena#1101

Do it. It was the only fun Factions server, and I had so many great memories on that server. I would play on it alot.

OK hi everyone, who remembers me?
Cost to host a MC server monthly is nominal - like $5/month. That's assuming a small whitelist server with no major plugins.
Anything bigger requires major effort. If you want a larger server, you have to spend $ to advertise as factions servers are a dime a dozen nowadays. Not to mention any big server probably has a team of dedicated devs / mods / etc. When I managed the MC server back in 2013/2014/2015 I was in college and had a relative large amount of free time. Could not do the same thing nowadays.
 
Minecraft.NL has always been an amazing IP though - perhaps I can help set up something simple? Like, super simple. SMP with some kind of automated land protection.
 
Thoughts?
 
 

@Kodauer:

Is the map from that era still available somewhere? (maybe as download)
I remember Hulpje & me building a big building round building with some buildings on top of it.
Would love to check how we build it. (as i'm only have this picture now)

is MrGreenGaming Minecraft coming back?
 

What is the estimated time for the server to come online?

A long time ago, shortly after the 'official' server went down, I requested to relaunch an official minecraft server for mrgreengaming. This request was declined by Ywa, despite his promise to, and I qoute, "will do my utmost best to make that happen", with 'that' referring to bringing back the minecraft server. I will state the reason for his decision below.
The reason there has never been a new 'official' server is because Ywa wouldn't gain anything out of it. When I asked him if we could use the domain of the orginal 'offiicial' server (play.minecraft.nl), his response was the following: "I've had a thought about it. I'm not going to rent the domain for when I have no benefit for it". Even though we were willing to pay for the all of it, the fact that he couldn't gain anything through possible donations (which we were planning to cover our costs with, atleast for a part), made him flat-out deny my request.
In the next couple of years my attempts to relaunch a new server haven't worked out very well. The fact we lost most of our playerbase and that we weren't able to use the old domain reduced our odds of succeeding by a lot.
Glad to see that some of the old minecraft people are still around! Perhaps we should create a Discord group for all of the old minecraft players? PM me on this forum or on skype for the invitation link   For those who are not familiar with Discord, it is basically a chatting app for the PC and phone, much like Skype, but better!

Kodauer used to run the official mrgreen server, but stopped due to a few things. Can't remember what they were, but I believe he made a thread about it somewhere. After that mrgreen (Ywa at the time) was no longer willing to let us use the domain name play.minecraft.nl, which was the reason I, together with some other admins, decided to run a server that was not affiliated with mrgreen. I mainly did the configs of plugins while others made the spawn area for the server.
And yeah, minetest is quite fun
 

Interesting.
The Minecraft server Mr. Green used to have was unique and in my opinion the best server I have ever seen and played on. There is no server that comes anywhere close to the theme Mr. Green used to have. It was a faction wars server, with limited plugins, but the ones it did have made it a very special server. The majority of the servers you see today have 'kits' that allow a quick start and let you start with powerful items. The server of Mr. Green had none of that. It was about grinding, building a base with your faction members, raid and defend your base against others. 
If that's what Hazardous ment when he created this poll, then I will vote yes. And I believe I speak on behalf of a lot of other people that used to play on the minecraft server when I say that.

If you are not interested in reading a lot, feel free to skip over this italicized part, as it is simply a intro to how I even got to MC.NL.

It was late 2011, if I can recall correctly. I remember being in a Skype call with my friends, looking for a new server through one of those common Minecraft server list websites. There were hundreds of them: but only one stood out. The banner had the text "MINECRAFT.NL" on it. You may think I joined the server like many other people from your community; however, I was an outsider as an American, and in my friend group, the closest person to the Netherlands was my friend in Ireland. When I first joined, I was in confusion. It was my first factions server, and I remember us setting up a base right by spawn, in between a mountain. After the first day of setting up camp, I remember waking up the next day to it all being destroyed. I had learned my first factions lesson, and this carried me all the way up to early 2013 on the server. My friends and I had become one of the more powerful factions on the server, and it was some of the most fun I had on Minecraft.

Now you may be asking, why the hell did I type that story?

That's my background with Mr. Green Gaming. I never played on any other server of theirs but their Minecraft one. So you may be looking at me right now even more of an outsider, as I really have not been too close with this community. However, I am not gonna make this the average case of "Bring back the minecraft server!!!" where it almost instantaneously gets turned down. I am going to show you from a business and community perspective as to why this will be a beneficial move for your community to make.

First off, the game itself. Minecraft may have took a dip in player base from 2017-2018. But now, it is clear that the game has made a comeback. There has been a revival in the player-base; servers such as SMP Live have come out and have gained thousands of viewers and have generated profits, and hell, even PewDiePie is playing the damn game. If you look throughout this Minecraft thread itself, there have been lots of requests similar to mine to bring back the server. People want a server to play on. In business, they call that demand. You have to realize that people want there to be a server, people want to play the game, and to be completely honest, this community can do a lot better than just MTA. I remember when this community had more servers than just MTA; again, I may have not played on them, but they were always an option for me. Alright, enough with the general stuff, let me show you why this server will benefit Mr. Green Gaming.

Why adding a Minecraft server will be beneficial for your community.

If you ever played the old-school MC.NL, you'd know how badly you needed a team. People would recruit, befriend, and even make enemies with other members of this community. This would strengthen the community altogether for obvious reasons. The ownership of the domain "minecraft.nl" helps you; the reason why many of the alternative servers trying to branch off of this community have failed is because they lack the identity the original server had. Minecraft.nl doesn't just represent Mr. Green Gaming, it represents the entire country of the Netherlands. This itself would expand the community; bringing in a lot of people, not just people residing in the Netherlands. It would also offer you a new server to play on; I don't know the last time you played Minecraft, but it's almost as if its a whole new game. They plan on revamping PvP for the next update, and have added new structures, mobs/animals, items, and overall features that were not even remotely available the last time the server was up in 1.4.5. To sum it all up; I'm sure no one in here wouldn't mind there being a Minecraft server, and I'm also sure that adding the server would bring back old players and also bring in new players into this community. This will help your community not only grow, but also maintain, which I will get into with the next subtopic.

Why adding a Minecraft server will be beneficial for your business.

I'm not calling this straight up a business, but it's clear you guys need money to maintain. Fortunately, the Minecraft EULA has changed, going against the same thing you went against: pay-to-win. However, there are still plenty of ways that you can use the Minecraft server to your advantage in order to help you pay your expenses. Ideas I've thought of is potentially having a system where players can donate in order to change the server MOTD on the server list tab (you can set a rotational MOTD), or maybe some type of cosmetic-item/features like a colored sign/text chat/name-tag/etc. It may sound dumb, but believe me; people will buy that stuff, as it's more than just getting the features, it's supporting this community, and giving the member of the community itself another benefit. Also, again; you own the domain name minecraft.nl, and that itself is probably one of the best Minecraft domain names a man can own in the Netherlands! That will attract players across the globe (mainly NL of course) but it will help you fulfill your expenses, and also expand your community like I touched on before.

Overall, before I conclude this, I'd just like to thank you for reading through this. I know this must've been a lot, and I appreciate your open-minded opinion as you read it, whether you end up being against it or for it.

Thank you again,

ARCEcho97

(side-note: Update the sub-forum description, all the 9 year old's on Minecraft went to Fortnite lol)
(side-note #2: even if you don't have the domain name, you would still have a fairly large player base to start off with thanks to your community, unlike many other servers).
