Player:vphlIo
vphlIo (Discord: Forced/Vphlio) is the most dominant player on the Xandaris server — and one of the most dangerous. He was the first to kill the Ender Dragon, the first to obtain full Netherite armor and an Elytra, and has never died. He has confirmed kills on at least six players (including two of his own teammates) and claims roughly twenty total. He describes himself as "just the grinder" but his actions suggest otherwise.

History
The Speedrun (February 16)
vphlIo's exact first login predates the surviving server logs, but by his first recorded session on February 16, he was already established. That morning, in a roughly two-hour blitz, he:
- Entered the Nether and looted a Bastion Remnant
- Explored a Trial Chamber and unlocked an Ominous Vault
- Found a Stronghold and entered The End
- Killed the Ender Dragon — the first player to do so, collecting the dragon egg
- Found an End City and obtained an Elytra
- Acquired full Netherite armor
When asked about his speed, he said: "I got it day one to be fair". samboyd endorsed him in chat: "also vphl is cool hes safe to team with". When other players asked about the dragon egg: "And no yall cant have the dragon egg".
The Team
vphlIo ran a team with icyrobotjames (his PvP specialist) and tuodjw. He described the dynamic:
"Im just the grinder. icy is the one who does all the pvp and stuff. Idk Im not the leader of our team"— vphlIo
This modesty was undermined when he killed both of his own teammates — smashing icyrobotjames and slaying tuodjw on February 17. After killing icyrobotjames, he immediately looted their ender chest via DeadEnderChest. When tuodjw was killed, vphlIo explained the entry requirement:
"Oh btw you need a player head to join our cult"— vphlIo
PvP & The Kill Count
vphlIo's confirmed kills include:
- REPLTOR — slain (Feb 17)
- icyrobotjames — smashed, own teammate (Feb 17)
- tuodjw — slain, own teammate (Feb 17)
- embiie — smashed (Feb 17), yielded 4 heads
- An unnamed player via End Crystal (Feb 18) — claimed it was a joke: "i JOKENLY PLACED A END CRYTAL AND HE CLICKED IT"
- berry — claimed in chat: "I killed berry too, he was hacking, and still lost with kill aura. LOL"
- Sigward_f — spawn-killed at X:-100, Y:63, Z:14 (Feb 20). Both logged in near origin seconds apart.
He boasted openly about his kill count:
"ive killed like 20 people. And I feel kinda bad. (Im lying)"— vphlIo
Despite the body count, he insisted: "ive only killed bad people come on guys" and "We need more HEROES to help the people of the server".
The Hunt for PluckedHorseHair
vphlIo's longest-running operation was the pursuit of PluckedHorseHair. After PluckedHorseHair killed samboyd and became the server's primary villain, vphlIo organized an elaborate trap:
He recruited Orangebubly as bait, who offered PluckedHorseHair Elytras and lured him to a location. vphlIo then built a triple-layer obsidian trap around PluckedHorseHair's logout position. When PluckedHorseHair logged back in, he teleported out — confirming the hacking suspicions:
"lowkey traped him... and he just tped 1k blocks in the area"— vphlIo
vphlIo reported to samboyd: "I just watched plucks straight up hack btw". PluckedHorseHair combat-logged twice and eventually died on his own in the Nether. vphlIo's reaction via Discord:
"Lol fucking plucker died what a fuCKING LOSER"— vphlIo
He then looted PluckedHorseHair's ender chest and told Sigward_f he wanted to retrieve PluckedHorseHair's head "so I can burn it".
The Sigward_f Kill (February 20)
On February 20 at 00:33, vphlIo logged in at coordinates -104, 64, 15 — near the world origin. Sigward_f logged in 4 seconds later just 15 blocks away. vphlIo killed Sigward_f 37 seconds after Sigward logged in, with no chat exchanged beforehand.
The DeathBan plugin failed to ban Sigward due to file permission errors, so Sigward reconnected 6 seconds later. Both players earned the Surge Protector advancement from the encounter.
The aftermath was a toxic chat exchange, with vphlIo challenging Sigward to meet at -20000, 10000 for a rematch:
"Fight me pussy"— vphlIo, to Sigward_f
"WHGERE YOU AT MOTHERFUCVKER"— vphlIo
The Maple_Craft Attack (February 20)
vphlIo was one of the first to sound the alarm during the Maple_Craft join-spam attack. While samboyd hesitated, vphlIo repeatedly demanded an immediate ban:
"bannn"— vphlIo
"I FUCKING TOLD YALL"— vphlIo
"HACKER"— vphlIo
He had been suspicious of the bot accounts from the start, telling samboyd and others that the accounts were not legitimate players.
Island Life (February 18–19)
vphlIo built a mushroom-themed base on a nearby island at The Island community alongside icyrobotjames. samboyd described it as "the island with a big mushroom build is vphl and james". He also maintained a FOB (forward operating base) closer to spawn.
At The Island, he took on infrastructure projects — building a sheep farm, a villager hall, and mining andesite for building materials. He taught other players the villager trading exploit: "buy glass from the book guy, then sell it to the map guy, after you make them both zombies".
He also admitted to looting every dead player's belongings: "btw I robbed all the dead people".
