Moriarty and Friends SMP

Origin Story

Server Founded 8-29-2023

We were at Judah's 8th Birthday party, and I noticed 1/3rd of the kids had Minecraft shirts on, so I asked if they'd be interested in setting up a server to play on. Interest was expressed, and here we are.

Moriarty and I picked out a seed that had a HUGE mushroom island near spawn. No hostile mobs spawn on mushroom islands, which makes these an advantageous place to build a mostly safe base.
