HISTORY
A chronological record of how Nextfight came to be.
The Idea
While running my first server, the first concept of a Minecraft Battle Royale emerged in a game of FFA. Development of an early prototype began alongside an old collaborator.

End of Operations
Nextfight Network concluded operations after two years of active development and play. The community Discord remained open. There was an entire rework planned and even partially developed, but for various reasons it was delayed indefinitely. This is not the total end. This mode or even the server will return in some form in the future.
