On December 14, 2024, our survival world launched.

Today, one full year later, we are here, growing, and rooted on our foundational mission:

A Minecraft survival world where community comes first.

Over this past year, thousands of players have passed through our world and left traces of themselves behind: a build, a creation, a friendship, a memory...

What has stood out most is the quiet cohesion that has formed as a ripple effect: people looking out for each other, welcoming newcomers, collaboration, and choosing acts of kindness even when nothing required it.

Before access was enabled, players had found multiple portals and, instead of keeping them secret, shared them. When the End finally opened, over 100 players were waiting together in calm, organized groups around those portals, almost like cozy campfires. I watched in /vanish, ready to moderate if needed. But intervention was never required.

What followed was a peaceful, coordinated dragon fight. Players building bridges together and helping each other find elytra and loot. PvP was enabled. Restrictions were minimal. And yet the experience was thoughtful, patient, and communal. It was one of those moments that reminds you what's possible when people show up with the right intentions.

Thank you to each and every one of you who has participated in making our world what it is today.

I also want to thank our moderator team. Since our inception, they have handled every issue, regardless of how small or complex, with a level of professionalism, kindness, and care that I could not be more proud of. They are the front lines of CozyMC, creating a welcoming and safe space for all.

In addition, I want to recognize the players who quietly make this world better, specifically those who repair, maintain, and beautify spawn. Spawn belongs to everyone, and because of that level of pride in caring for our shared community spaces, it continuously feels like a "coming home."

To mark our milestone, we have opened a new channel:

cozy-memories

If you have a favorite moment, no matter how big or small, since joining CozyMC we encourage you to please share it there.

Screenshots, stories, milestones, moments of kindness, connection, teamwork - anything that captures the spirit of Cozy MC.

This channel is about reflection, shared history, and community pride.

Thank you for being here. I consider each and every one of you my Cozy kin.
