8b8t Update – Ongoing Legal Proceedings and Community Changes

We want to take a moment to update everyone on the current status of 8b8t and address the concerns many of you have shared over the past few weeks.
First and foremost, we want to sincerely apologize for the uncertainty surrounding the server and the disruption it has caused within our community. We know many of you have deep connections to the map and the history behind it, and we appreciate your patience and continued support as we navigate this difficult time.
As many of you are aware, Leee is still going through his legal proceedings. Due to the nature of the situation, we are unable to provide further details, and unfortunately, we do not have an estimated time for when 8b8t’s map will return. This situation is ongoing, and we ask for your understanding as we allow the legal process to take its course.
On top of that, we’ve encountered a critical hardware failure that is preventing us from restoring the server at this time. This has directly affected our ability to access and safely deploy the 8b8t map. We want to be clear: we cannot put the server online until we have reliable hardware in place which requires intervention by Leee.
Additionally, Leee’s Discord account has been permanently terminated, which has further impacted our ability to communicate updates through our usual channels.
Moving Forward: Join Us on Matrix
To ensure we maintain a secure and resilient platform for communication, we will now be meeting and discussing all 8b8t matters through Matrix. You can join the official 8b8t space here:

This will be the central hub for updates, community discussions, and planning as we work toward a stable path forward.
We understand that this transition may be difficult for some, but we believe it is the best step to preserve the integrity and longevity of the 8b8t community during these uncertain times.
Thank you for sticking with us. 8b8t has always been more than just a Minecraft server—it's a history, a legacy, and a community. That doesn’t end here.
