Editing Event:XHC Monthly Chronicle - February 2026 (section)

== State of the Server ==

As February ends, the server is fractured but alive.

'''The Dominant Forces:'''
* '''[[Player:vphlIo|vphlIo]]''' remains undefeated — 0 deaths across 69.3 hours and 175 sessions. Full Netherite, Elytra, Shulker boxes, the Dragon Egg, and a [[Item:vphlIo's Trophy Sack|trophy sack]] containing 49 player heads. He is, by every metric, the most powerful player on the server.
* '''[[Player:Orangebubly|Orangebubly]]''' quietly grinds with 0 deaths, 2,853 mob kills, and 33 advancements in 17.6 hours.
* '''[[Player:tuodjw|tuodjw]]''' — vphlIo's right hand — holds 1,288 mob kills with just 1 death.

'''The Survivors:'''
* '''[[Player:samboyd|samboyd]]''' — the server founder — is rebuilding after the [[Event:The Strongmush Betrayal|Strongmush Betrayal]]. With 114.1 hours played, no one has invested more time into the server. He leads from the wreckage.
* '''[[Player:JimmyyJohn|JimmyyJohn]]''' is on his '''5th account''' after 4 deaths. He keeps coming back. Currently alive in full Netherite.
* '''[[Player:WalkZDog|WalkZDog]]''' — JimmyyJohn's ally — lost his first account to the void but survives on an alt with 0 deaths.

'''The Fractured Island:'''
[[Location:The Island|The Island]], once the server's communal base, is fractured after the Strongmush Betrayal. The alliance between samboyd and vphlIo — the two players who built it — is broken. What was once a shared home is now disputed territory.

'''The Dead:'''
At least 63 players were deathbanned in the last week of February alone. Some, like [[Player:Sigward f|Sigward_f]], were murdered. Some, like [[Player:WEIDO344|WEIDO344]], were ambushed. Some, like tonebro2018, asked ''"if i die is it a perm ban?"'' — and found out.
