Bits & Bytes Minecraft

bits & Bytes Minecraft, commonly known as bnbmc is a bits & Bytes community Minecraft server first established 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. At first it would have been a minigame server, 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. It wasn't until later that The Pixel Polygon would finally join the server, as he was just messing in the console instead of playing on the world due to time
