Remembering One of Our Own: CptCarnage

Hi Everyone,

It’s with a heavy heart that I share some incredibly sad news. CptCarnage (Jeff Mossop), a long-time member and one of the original pillars of the Minecraft Addicts community, passed away January 30th 2026.

Carnage was part of MCA from the very beginning. Over the years, he became not just a community staple, but one of my closest friends. I spoke with his wife shortly after his passing and had been able to attend his celebration of life and wanted to let the community know directly. For those who may ask what happened, his wife shared the following:

“Carnage got a gastro bug starting on near the end of January and it was so bad it caused an infection. He was admitted to the hospital for sepsis. The infection was too much for his body to fight and he died the next night. He loved playing and chatting with all of you so much.”

For the past 15 years, Carnage was a big part of my life. We spent countless hours gaming, troubleshooting tech and websites, trading memes, and talking about things we both loved like Star Trek. He was someone I who would pop online again, ready to jump into another convo or project. Losing that presence hurts more than I can put into words.

In the past few years, Carnage was around less often, only popping in from time to time. During that time, he built something he had always dreamed of back in the early MCA days: a family. He leaves behind a loving wife and two children.  His wife shared that she hopes one day their kids will get to experience the massive gaming library he built and enjoy the worlds he loved exploring.

A memorial for him is now places in the historic world not far from his builds in the downtown district. He will be able to over look his builds for a long time to come.


Please keep his family in your thoughts. The MCA community lost one of its originals, and many of us lost a friend.

Rest easy, Carnage. You will always be part of this server and this community. 🖤🎮 At his celebration of life i had given his wife a small image with many of the minecraft users he has played, mentored, and became friends with over the years.

15th Anniversary Sept 23rd 2025 Celebration video

Back in the Alpha days of 2010,  a little Minecraft server started… and somehow, 15 years later, it’s still running! 😲

We’ve kept it alive through updates, downtime, and countless blocky adventures — and even though our community is small now, it’s still passionate and creative. To celebrate this huge milestone, we put together an anniversary video packed with history, epic builds, and nostalgia from over the years.

If you’ve ever played Minecraft in its early days, or just love seeing long-running projects survive the test of time, this one’s for you.

Old News and Forums

Hey there, awesome Minecraft Addicts! Just a quick heads-up — all those old announcements and news from before 2024 are now hanging out in the Community Forums, kind of like a vintage scrapbook of all the good stuff! Keep in mind, some of those links, signatures, avatars, and images might be feeling a bit expired or out of date since they were hosted on old servers like Imgur or Photobucket.  Plus, some links point back to our previous .com domain, which we don’t have access to anymore. So, a lot of those old forum topics from before 2025 are now locked up tight, with only a few still open — think of it as a cool, classic archive of our server’s history.

 

Please note if you are returning to the forums you may be required to change your password on login. Thanks for understanding and happy mining!

Server Updated to 1.21.4

I am pleased to announce the successful launch of our new server, updated to version 1.21.4+. Over the past two months, I have dedicated my time to ensuring a smooth transition to this latest version, navigating through numerous configurations, plugins, and various challenges. I am excited to welcome you all back for an enhanced gaming experience.

I've noticed there are some problems and glitches. If you spot any, please tell me in the help-ticket Discord channel!

Please take note of the following important information:

--- IMPORTANT NOTICE ---

To ensure optimal connectivity, we recommend that you delete the server IP from your list and re-add it to remove any outdated data associated with the previous server. The server link remains the same: 
server.minecraftaddicts.ca (Port: 25565). 

You can also access the new map at: https://server.minecraftaddicts.ca:20099/. This site features both 2D and 3D modes, allowing for exploration as if you were in-game.

Private Warps: A new system has been implemented. As a result, you will be starting afresh; however, if you require assistance, please submit a ticket in the help-tickets channel on Discord. I will be happy to provide a text file containing your previous private warps. Our staff members may also be available to assist you in locating some of these.

Homes: Please be aware that if you are an existing user, your homes may have reset. Previous home settings may not have transferred to the new server.

Balances/Money: Unfortunately, balances did not transfer successfully. We will be manually updating player balances as they rejoin the server, which may take some time, as the balances plugin requires users to log in with the new version for data to populate correctly.

New Features:

Help Menu: An updated and organized menu system replaces the previous format, streamlining navigation for users.

Shop: An upgraded menu system is now in place with revised pricing and improved options for gameplay.

New Claim System for Building: We have implemented a lands system that allows players to claim their own areas in the new build world. A brief tutorial will be provided soon, as the system is user-friendly and includes a teleportation menu.

Old Build: The former build area is now referred to as "Legacy." Both legacy and historic regions remain accessible.

New Kits: Players can now access new kits using the command /kit.


Additionally, ranks are available for purchase, which offer extra commands and assist in covering server expenses. For more information, please visit https://ranks.minecraftaddicts.ca/

If you have received a ban or warning, you can view the related information at https://bans.minecraftaddicts.ca/

Numerous behind-the-scenes enhancements and modifications have been made to retain the functionality of the previous version while improving overall performance.

Thank you for your continued support, and I look forward to seeing you all back in the game!
