About

Welcome to the SHFT Network!

We're the Super Happy Fun Time (SHFT) Network Minecraft server. We're a family friendly server that offers unique things that we hope you'll enjoy. Come and visit us shftnetwork.ddns.net! Our server runs Minecraft 1.15.2 Java Edition and feature new twists on Minecraft multiplayer survival. Right now, we're working hard to update our many features to the latest version so we're not open 24/7. But, feel free to join our Discord and we'll open our doors to you for a tour!

Phase 2 - The "Network" in SHFT Network:

During Phase 1, we began with the old SHFT map and added a few of the elements that the original Super Happy Fun Time server had. The only real builds we had at the time were a few bulletin boards at spawn for players to check out the features. As we shuffled along, the project progressed further and we added some really cool features like the Wishing Well and Survival Games. Eventually, we moved on towards our second attempt, and here is where the story begins...

As we moved on, we were sure to include key features from SHFT in our server. Things like Marriage, Kinder Eggs, and 'jemotes' were tacked right into our project and become beloved features that we once loved. We then added Factions and Survival Games as their own components to really include them in our "network" experience. Our goal was to incorporate the many different aspects and playing styles that the old server used to have. But, we realized that having these features split up were never in the image of SHFT. Our total of five servers: Factions, SHFT Survival, Survival Games, Skyblock and KitPvP simply added too much complexity and never really felt like 'home'.

And thus concluded Phase 2. We moved on and eventually made the decision to focus on the aspects that really mattered, SHFT and the community.

Phase 3 - And now it gets interesting:

So, we jumped; from 1.8 with a few of the old nostalgic SHFT features, to 1.15.2 and a brand spankin' new map. We rebuilt, and resurfaced and the reality is, it just made more sense. Staying in 1.8 meant a lot more bugs, and trying to reconstruct everything back together alongside developing new features and sticking in the necessities would've been so much more complicated. So, that's where we went, advancing a whole seven versions forward, we missed a lot of the SHFT features that were really outdated at the time. Luckily, we had the help of the SHFT community and using their magical skills, a lot of the features we once knew and loved were brought back! At our peak in the summer of 2020 amidst the growing COVID-19 pandemic, a bit of silver-lining appeared and SHFT came back for a brief while. But, things fell off, and the server was eventually offline for a few months. And so, seemed to be the end of it.

Now:

What the heck are we doing now? Well I'll tell ya'! The staffers here today are working hard in developing a brand-new SHFT experience. We realized that although we could bring back some of the aspects of SHFT we had known and loved, it would never be exactly the same. So we accepted that fact, and moved on to create our own server, the SHFT Network. (Hey, that's the one YOU played on) Even though we seem to be currently offline, we're working on creating new fun things to do and recreating the features you loved, to bring in a new generation of players who will grow to love and grow alongside the server. So, no! We're not gone, those features you missed? The beautiful bedrock streets you walked on, they'll be right back. Right now, sit back, join our Discord to reconnect with your old SHFT buddies and find some new games to play. But there's one thing to be sure of, we're coming back with a bang.
