| '''samboyd''' is the founder, owner, and server operator of Xandaris. He manages the server infrastructure, plugins, Discord integration, and community — spending most of his time in spectator or creative mode doing admin work rather than playing survival.

| == History ==
| |
|
| |
| === Day Zero — Setup & The 67-Second Death (February 15) ===
| |
| samboyd was the first player to join the Xandaris server on February 15, 2026, during the initial setup phase. His earliest logins were brief testing sessions — configuring plugins, checking chat formatting, and typing test messages like ".help" and "uiofhadiofds" into the void.
| |
|
| |
| Once RandomSpawnZ was configured and the world was regenerated, samboyd received his first true random spawn. He survived exactly '''67 seconds''' before being slain by a Zombie — the server's very first death.
| |
|
| |
| Undeterred, he established [[Location:samboyd's Base Ruins|a small base along a river near spawn]], describing it as ''"it aint much but its home."''
| |
|
| |
| === Day One — Grand Opening (February 16) ===
| |
| February 16 was the day Xandaris went public. samboyd and [[Player:Asa_Akiraa|Asa_Akiraa]] posted the server on PlanetMinecraft, minecraft-server-list.com, and Reddit, triggering the first wave of new players.
| |
|
| |
| samboyd spent the day welcoming every arrival, explaining the rules, and watching helplessly as most of them died:
| |
|
| |
| <blockquote>"so you are all my first players, so thank u all my GOATs"</blockquote>
| |
|
| |
| <blockquote>"if you stay alive ill give you rank for free"</blockquote>
| |
|
| |
| He established the server's core promise early: ''"no p2w and no map resets — forever."''
| |
|
| |
| The server crashed multiple times under load. samboyd apologized, upgraded the hardware, and kept going. He also deployed his custom '''DeadEnderChest''' plugin, which lets players access a dead player's ender chest by holding their dropped head and running a command. He had [[Player:Sigward_f|Sigward_f]] kill him to test it.
| |
|
| |
| By the end of the day, he estimated that 75% of players had already died.
| |
|
| |
| === Day Two — The End, Netherite & Betrayal (February 17) ===
| |
| The pace picked up on Day Two. [[Player:vphlIo|vphlIo]] defeated the Ender Dragon, and samboyd teleported to the End portal to earn the '''[The End?]''' advancement shortly after.
| |
|
| |
| samboyd also completed the '''[Cover Me in Debris]''' challenge, acquiring a full set of netherite armor, and earned '''[Crafting a New Look]''' from armor trimming.
| |
|
| |
| The day's biggest drama came from [[Player:PluckedHorseHair|PluckedHorseHair]], who had been a thorn in samboyd's side since a previous server (LHC). PluckedHorseHair killed samboyd in PvP when he briefly switched to survival mode — the third time a player had slain him. samboyd later reflected:
| |
|
| |
| <blockquote>"horsehair literally killed me and my entire team"</blockquote>
| |
|
| |
| This incident accelerated the decision to relocate the community far from spawn to [[Location:The Island|The Island]].
| |
|
| |
| samboyd also began building a '''revive mechanic plugin''' using player heads and netherite, though he remained conflicted about whether it was fair to the 80+ players already banned.
| |
|
| |
| Meanwhile, [[Player:Kitten9337|Kitten9337]] privately warned samboyd that some players thought he was admin-abusing by spending time in creative mode near other players.
| |
|
| |
| === Day Three — Anticheat Drama & #deaths (February 18) ===
| |
| samboyd kicked '''XiDipole''' for using a hacked client and spent hours troubleshooting anticheat issues with '''ChickenFiesta''', whose modified client kept triggering fastbreak flags.
| |
|
| |
| The community continued to bleed players. samboyd pardoned several who had died to a spawn bug (suffocating inside blocks due to a RandomSpawnZ misconfiguration) and repeatedly pleaded with survivors:
| |
|
| |
| <blockquote>"pls dont die, ban on death"</blockquote>
| |
|
| |
| He spent the entire evening testing the '''CustomDeathMessages''' plugin and Discord integration for the #deaths channel, dying over a dozen times via RCON commands, fall damage, and asking friends to kill him. At one point:
| |
|
| |
| <blockquote>"fucking claude killed me"</blockquote>
| |
|
| |
| — referring to the server bot executing a /kill command via RCON during testing.
| |
|
| |
| === Day Four — Island Life & Building (February 19) ===
| |
| After an embarrassing number of test deaths, the #deaths Discord channel finally went live. samboyd announced:
| |
|
| |
| <blockquote>"ok.... its finally working. #deaths is live"</blockquote>
| |
|
| |
| With the major plugin work behind him, samboyd began actually playing the game — enchanting gear, looking for mending villagers, and planning builds at [[Location:The Island|The Island]]. He announced his next project: ''"a giant mushroom — like a psilocybe."''
| |
|
| |
| He also received an HOA violation note from [[Player:Sigward_f|Sigward_f]], which he did not appreciate.
| |
|
| |
| Life at The Island settled into a rhythm: breeding villagers, worrying about podzol spreading, betting with Sigward on how long new players would survive, and dreaming about the future of the server.
