Heyo! Lofi here.

I'm curious. How come you chose to use Manacube as opposed to other Minecraft servers? Was it the appeal of... certain YouTubers, or was it just from Googling? Did you want something fresh or were you reminded of servers past?

I'm interested to see everyone's answers!

Great question!

I came across Mana in June of 2019 after searching for the most popular Creative servers. ManaCube was in the top three/five (I can't remember which!) so I tried out a few and ManaCube was the only one I stuck with! I really loved how the server was run overall with its grading system and /shop perks. The community was so nice and welcoming! I also loved how the staff would interact with the community (little did I know that a year later I would become part of the team!). After maining on Creative for about a month, I migrated over to Olympus and sometimes played Parkour off on the side. To this day, those three are still my top three (two of which I staff)!
Before ManaCube I mainly played on minigame servers, therefore I was never exposed to actual communities. That's why I really stuck with ManaCube! I've made so many friends through Mana that I could honestly call my best friends, they're amazing!

I love this!

I've been a Manacube member on-and-off since 2014. Since I'm pretty young still, that's been a huge chunk of my life and I've developed a lot personality-wise since I first joined. Honestly, there have been a few servers in Minecraft that I've just stuck with over time, and Manacube was one of them. I came back from time to time to check on the server and stuck around for a bit. Recently, I've felt at home in the Creative community and have made quite a few friends after like a week back which is pretty crazy.

I find Minecraft as a whole a much easier way to communicate with people because I have a lot of trouble talking face-to-face, even with friends. Manacube was the server that gave me lasting friendships, and that's why I've stuck around.

2 certain youtubers I used to watch played Manacube Parkour {This was two or three spawn changes ago}. When watching their videos, I thought "I could be as good as them." Definately underestimated parkour and my inability to jump. I gave up for a while and then decided to return. This time I started to play on Parkour legit. I took my time with everything and did somewhat decent. I kept hearing about this thing called 'Skyblock' and so I decided to see what all the fuss was about. Turned out I really really enjoyed Skyblock and loved the community surrounding it {This happened two/three resets ago}

I didnt really play multiplayer until my best friend also purchased minecraft. We would play a lot of skywars and pvp type games. I never really stuck to any of those servers {One of them was deleted/died which I was sad about}. I'm glad I came back though. It turned out for the better lol

Howdy Howdy!

I've been on manacube for a few days over 2 years... and I've been staff for almost two years as well. (2 years in January) With that being that majority of my time on manacube has been spent in a staffing role. I choose Manacube mainly because I was messing around on many prison servers at the same time- I actually had lost my pickaxe on Olympus due to a log in glitch and was planning on quitting simply because I lost so much progress so quickly. A player who is no longer active, Wicho, gave me one of his spares and others offered as well. In that moment I realized how friendly the older community of Olympus was (this was before we had two separate servers) With this being said I still love Olympus till this day but nothing can beat the friendships I made back in season one. I still talk to some of them till this day and deeply enjoy it.

MInecraft is just a game i've always been able to run and it is simple to understand. It has so many ways to play I don't think i'd ever fully get bored of it. The new updates that come out constantly almost never disappoint. So I guess a TLDR: Amazing community- would not trade it for the world.

I joined the server a while back to find another server that I could "call home" since a long time server just went offline I guess due to funds. I stumbled upon this one, took a break for a while (you know how games take your attention), came back recently and have been loving the experience and wish I had come back on sooner. Finding communities that draw people back with the sheer "home love" feel is rare, but I have found that community.

I came here because I got banned from my favorite server in May 2020. I used to play here before and I noticed I still had my rank so now I'm back.

I was actually looking for parkour servers cuz I was bored af. I toured the servers and found creative. I then found out what world edit was and gave building a try. Its now kinda my favorite thing to do in multiplayer besides anarchy servers which I've given up for now.

So... a little over two years ago, my ex and I wanted to surprise our friend on her birthday by letting her choose a server to play on together. My friend chose Manacube- specifically Olympus. Since then, I've been on every single game mode (though I dislike parkour, kit PVP, and factions). I still sometimes talk to Kayla and Hallow- who are both friends from Season 1. Ahhh... I still remember the days before they were promoted. Good times :)

A friend recommended ManaCube creative to me...I thought, "Well, why not? H is getting extremely boring anyways." So I tried creative, and I haven't gone into h since!

I didn’t choose mana cube. Mana cube chose me.
