Bits & Bytes Minecraft

bits & Bytes Minecraft (commonly known as bnbmc) is a bits & Bytes community Minecraft server first established in 15 December 2017.

History

The first iteration of this server was created on 15 December 2017 as there were discussions of what a bits & Bytes Minecraft server would look like. No one on the discord server would expect a real Minecraft server until The Pixel Polygon (b&B member) decided to setup a server on Google Cloud. At the time, it ran on 1.12.2 and immediately grew traction when it was opened to the public for the first time.
