    Over the last decade, Brawl has provided entertainment for over 4.5 million players. We've released a dozen unique and original gamemodes like War, MineStrike, and Wild West. We've created a strong and friendly community and at our peak, we had thousands of players online at once. We extended the life of McPvP by over half a decade, with CTF matches still being organised to this day. I think we've made a huge impact over the years on the most important part of people's lives: the fun part.

    Unfortunately, nothing can last forever. The Minecraft community has been trending away from open-world gun gamemodes and competitive team games towards smaller and quicker minigames, and we weren't able to adapt to this. We kept true to our roots for as long as we could, but with almost no-one playing outside of events nowadays, it's clear that Brawl's time has finally come.

    Brawl shut down at midnight EST on the 1st of April 2023. Even though we were no-where near the size we once was, to that day there was still a strong, friendly community playing on a regular basis, taking part in events and organised matches.

    Thanks for an amazing 11 years. When I first joined McPvP, and eventually moved on to Brawl, I had no idea it would be such a large part of my life. I hope everyone else has been able to enjoy it as much as I have.

    Graveyard Discord Server
    The community lives on, though. There are already plans for gamemode recreations, community events, and more. If you want to continue to be a part of this, you can join the Graveyard discord server here: https://discord.gg/7raEGuy3KG

    That discord will act as a central hub for the Brawl community post-shutdown - anything going on related to Brawl or its community will be posted there.

    Good luck with wherever you move on to next!

    The fact nobody has responded to what might just be the final thread on this forum ever is quite a shame. I think it's only fair that I say something small so that this doesn't feel like a goodbye to a barren wasteland which was once the forum for a thriving community...

    Despite my negative biases towards some of Brawl's administration and management, especially near the end of its life, I still love Brawl. It was a great community, and one which I keep dear to my heart. I've occasionally looked back on the forums or with the people, lurking in to see how things are going... honestly, I could go into depth about all my thoughts based on the rise and fall of this server, but I don't think it's my place to do such. I just want to give a final thanks and let those who are reading this in the future know that this place brought many good memories to a lot of people. Chances are that this will become a bit of a time capsule in the near future from when this was typed out, so I hope it will at least be buried with a bit of love rather than being a lonesome post in a ghost forum...

    So, thank you Brawl. Thank you for the years of fun and the good times we've had and the good people you've helped me meet.

    And to anyone who is reading this now or in the future, to anyone who's reminiscing about the past you chose to spend here or finding this place which once gave hundreds of people happiness and joy, I hope you are doing well. I hope that you're living a content and peaceful life. I hope that you can look back happily on the past and that you will fondly remember all the good times you've had. Most importantly though, I hope that things will remain bright for you in the future and that you can be the best version of yourself.

    "And in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!"

    Just randomly thought about this today, I used to play this every day in 2013-2015 and it was a huge part of my childhood. Thank you for providing all of us these amazing memories, brawl will be missed.
