# TWiTcraft Archive

> The preserved archive of TWiTcraft, the official Minecraft server of the TWiT.tv podcast network (mc.twit.tv), public from April 2012 to February 6, 2015. The site hosts every released world file, a complete static copy of the phpBB forums (1,321 threads, 2012–2015), 3D web maps of every TWiTcraft world, a joinable read-only archive server at twitcraft.dio.gg, and reference pages built from the server's own files: players, statistics, inventories, books, shop prices, chest contents, pets and the final day. Unofficial fan archive; not affiliated with TWiT.tv or Mojang. Spellings seen in the record: TWiTcraft, TWiTCraft, TwitCraft; the pre-2012 predecessor was ChatCraft, whose own worlds (chatvival, fertalized) are in the downloads but are not counted in any statistic here, not on the archive server and not on the web maps.
