BetaLands is a server founded in 2015, formerly owned by Swetz, and owned by 16.png JohnyMuffin.
Initially, RetroMC and BetaLands were seperate servers, but they merged in April 2018, and then split again in June due to differing opinions of Johny and Swetz.
This page references the server after it was accquired by RetroMC (in December 2019) unless specifically mentioned.

Shutdown

On July 7th of 2023, Johny made an announcement in the RetroMC Discord server about the decision to shut down Betalands on September 1st and town/base transfers will be accepted for an additional 12 (now 6) months following the shutdown date.
The server shop was closed, and a noticeboard was placed in the intro warp.

BetaLands Sendoff event

Betalands Sendoff is an upcoming event announced by 16.png EternalllZM on August 27, 2023.
General anarchy (This doesn't apply to chat!), TNT, griefing, and /give will be enabled during the event.
The event will start on September 1, 10:00 PM, UTC and the voice channel used in the Discord server will be betalands-event-sept1. The cutoff date for transfers was changed to March 2, 2024.


Note that the anarchy and such BEGINS WHEN THE EVENT STARTS. IF YOU GRIEF OR FOOL AROUND NOW YOU ARE STILL VIOLATING RULES.

Differences from RetroMC

Some features available in RetroMC, such as container locks via LWC, Essentials/Fundamentals homes, and overviewer are also available in BetaLands.
And this is where the differences begin:

  • Server-based economy, sugarcane and catus farms were the best items to sell to the shop
  • Lockette is still enabled for locked containers created before the implementation of LWC
  • StarGates & MobArena don't exist
  • Towny is still used instead of JVillage, and players regenerate health in towns
  • No automated UUID-based account transfer
  • Less updated stuff
