====== Onions Era ======

The **Onions era** refers to the period of /int/craft history from late 2019 to mid-2020 during which three successive [[iterations]] were hosted by [[Onions]]. These servers were [[Yugo Wars|Yugo Wars (i30)]] in October 2019, [[Middle East|Middle East (i31)]] in February 2020, and [[i32]] in May-June 2020.

The iterations of the Onions era were characterized by unique regional crops, development of advanced plugins (such as [[Nodes]]), mass advertising (resulting in a huge demographic shift for the server), and the [[onions#controversy|drama]] around Onions himself. The most prominent [[metagroups]] active during the Onions era were [[Strykergang]], the [[British]], [[TaP]], [[Crippogang]], and Haan's group.

Some commentators view the Onions era as part of a larger continuum of iterations, beginning with the two [[uhFiliate|Filicraft]] servers ([[i28]] and [[i29]]) that preceded it, and ending with [[i34|World War 1 (i34)]], hosted by Onions collaborator [[xethyr]]. Onions would return to host [[i37|Ukrainecraft (i37)]] two years later in mid-2022, but unlike his earlier three hosting rounds, this server is generally considered a failure.
