Season 14 Final Screenshot

The End?
- 2019 April 7th: Spikej555 announces the tentative end of Supercraft, and his impending two year disappearance. Season 19 ends.
As I'm sure you're all well aware, Supercraft has pretty much died. We were on life support for a long while, and I would like to thank you all for choosing to spend some time here. It has been great getting to know and being able to play with you over the years.
Going forward, I'll be pretty much disappearing this October for a two year mission. If anyone wants, both the Minecraft and the Unturned servers can be turned on if there's interest - at least until then. Many world files from the last few years are up on minecraftworldmap.com, though I have just about all of them - even if they aren't there - if you want one and can't find it.
Thanks to all of you yet again for the great times through the years. Feel free to stick around. Something might happen.
Supercraft: April 2013 - April 2019 Supercraft Team: May 2013 - The Future

The Continuing Adventure

- 2022 September 14th: Project GM22 updates to 1.19.2
- 2023 March 4th: Project GM22 transitions to Supercraft, tentatively Season 20, and is made known to the entirety of the Supercraft Team. This grants a wish made by Ace_F15 on 2019 April 10th
Could we just do one more season so we can end on a 20 and have one more update? ~Ace_F15
- 2025 January 1st: Season 20 is announced to be Supercraft: The Final Season, a server where the map will never reset (though chunks will be deleted to allow new generation close to existing builds).
