What They Carried

Where 3,028 players were standing when the server stopped — and what was in their pockets.

The last moment

January 30, 2015 · 16:55:41 UTC · the final tick

A Minecraft server writes a small file for every player each time they log out: exactly where they were standing, which world they were in, how much health and experience they had, where their bed was, and every item in their inventory and ender chest. When TWiTcraft shut down, those files froze. This page reads all 3,028 of them.

Positions and homes also appear as toggleable layers on the archive map — look for Final positions and Homes in the map's marker menu. Players whose last world was one that didn't survive into the backup (an old creative or minigame world) have no map link.

Icons are the game's own 1.7.10 textures, the way the inventory looked in 2014. Hover any slot for the item name, enchantments, custom names and durability. Nothing here was edited: if a player logged out with 51 blocks of light gray stained clay in slot 8, that's what you'll see.
