I had the inspiration to create a beta back in late 2017, as I was part of the Beta Minecraft community at the time, playing on a server called BetaLands. I came up with the name "Old School Minecraft" as at the time I was really into the game Old School Runescape and had wondered why nobody had picked a similar name for a Legacy Minecraft server.  
The inspiration to create a beta server emerged in late 2017, when I was an active member of the Beta Minecraft community, playing on a server known as BetaLands.

Shortly after attempting to start a Beta server I became friends with moderator_man and we both shared mutual passion in creating a beta server that was mainly vanilla with no towny and would represent beta 1.7.3 closest to how it would've been in 2011. With moderator_mans skill and knowledge with Java and my artist skills and sheer will we managed to create the server you know today as "Old School Minecraft"

Old School Minecraft originally was planned to be a mod for beta 1.7.3 that would follow the path of Notch and would add features to 1.7.3 that we thought closely matched with Notches ideas. This idea was scrapped in favour for a vanilla beta server as we wasn't happy with the current state of beta servers at the time.

History of Old School Minecraft

The inspiration to create a beta server emerged in late 2017, when I was an active member of the Beta Minecraft community, playing on a server known as BetaLands. The name "Old School Minecraft" was born from my interest in Old School Runescape, prompting me to wonder why no similar name had been chosen for a Legacy Minecraft server.

It wasn't until two years later that significant progress was made on the server idea. Collaborating with friends "Dan" and "AwesomeGuy584", we began work on Old School Minecraft. Hosted in Europe, the early stages were plagued with bugs, and unfortunately, the server failed to attract any players.

Shortly after my failed beta server attempt, I befriended moderator_man, sharing a mutual passion for creating a vanilla beta server without towny, faithfully representing beta 1.7.3 as it was in 2011. Leveraging moderator_man's Java expertise and my artistic skills, we shaped the server into what you now know as "Old School Minecraft."

Did you know? Originally, Old School Minecraft was envisioned as a mod for beta 1.7.3, aiming to follow Notch's vision and introduce features we believed aligned closely with his ideas. However, this concept was abandoned in favor of a vanilla beta server, as we were dissatisfied with the state of beta servers at the time.
