• The staff of the website and the server: skeight, Ahrash2194, Amber_1, AustinAuranymph, Benfa79, blob0318, cowie124, IkePrime, larperdoodle, massivetuna, Nathangorr, QuantumNova, Styyxx, Tuddsfn, and everyone else who helped. See the Staff page.
• Everyone who uploaded a world, built on the server or wrote on the forum. The worlds, builds and posts here are yours.
• Blobbers, a former member of the server staff, who kept a copy of Creative Archive 1.8. It was thought lost until that copy turned up in October 2026.
• The former staff who saved and shared the Play archives, the Server Lobby and the schematics.

• Leonard Richardson's Minecraft Archive Project, which saved every world on the website in May 2014 (project page).
• The Internet Archive, which keeps those worlds and gives them out for free (the Minecraft Archive Project collections).
• The Wayback Machine, whose saved copies of the website's pages gave us the forum, the history and the Creative Archive previews (web.archive.org).
• Common Crawl, whose web crawls saved more of the forum (commoncrawl.org).

This site is made to look like Minecraft World Map did in 2019-2021. Its layout and colours were rebuilt from the Wayback Machine's copies of the original pages and the original site's stylesheet. The original design belongs to Minecraft World Map. A few small original images were copied so the archive feels like the original:

• the sky, grass and stone background strip (original, Wayback Machine copy);
• the default Steve avatar shown next to user names (original, Wayback Machine copy);
• Amber_1's head picture from the home page (original, Wayback Machine copy);
• the colours and sizes of the original stylesheet (original, Wayback Machine copy).

The "Archive" logo and the site icons are new drawings, not copies of the original logo.
