 **Filicraft**, also known as **i28** and officially "**Manifest Destiny**" was a server hosted by [[uhFiliate]] in June 2019. It was a much-hyped and well-remembered server, as well as being Fili's first hosting effort. The server was set on a map of the Americas (North and South) and had a canonical launch date of 1870. This unique theme allowed players to larp as Wild West cowboys, European colonizers, the newly independent nations of Latin America, and much more. Despite its size and initial success, the server was cut short after just one war weekend.

 ===== Development =====

 Due to his lack of expertise, tasks were largely delegated to members of a development team, recruited among personal connections and interested Discord members, with Fili himself acting as a sort of project manager or hype man. The actual Minecraft server (and test server, launched mid-May) was configured by [[Lemon_Shot|Lemon]] and [[Luna]]. Gun models were made by [[Stongduke]]. The official modpack was assembled by [[chippledipple]]. The server map was custom-made by a strange newfag calling himself [[Onions]]. Discord announcements and moderation increasingly fell to the purview of another (actual) newfag, [[Jonathan]]. Blog posts were made by [[pandapieforall|PandaTanner]] and Jonathan. All development was discussed in a publically-viewable Discord channel called #the-committee.
-The server was noted for its hugely successful mass-advertising campaign. Word of the server was spread far, from posts on tangentially-related Discord groups to multiple threads per day on 4chan. This brought a wave of newfags on a scale not seen since /int/craft's 1.0 genesis. The presence of oldfag uhFiliate at the helm may have also helped to reawaken some dormant players of past years. This was all in addition to the relatively consistent existing playerbase from iterations [[25.0]]-[[27.0]], setting up Filicraft for huge activity.

 Other major nations in North America were Deseret, led by [[stryker]] from his established group, and the British Empire, newfags organized by Jonathan. Each of these countries grew to more than 50 declared members. Another group with a large Discord presence was Chile, who previously played Novorossiya in 2030, led by CuliusJaesar. Mexico was led by admin Fili himself. Smaller nations, such as Alaska, Cuba, Uruguay, and the Dutch, rounded out the roster.((https://intcraft.wordpress.com/2019/05/25/shitposting-skirmishes-on-verge-of-igniting-pan-american-conflict/))
-Two opposing power blocs were formed. The first, headed by the British, united European colonial powers and Hispanics against the perceived American-Mormon threat, and also included Cuba, Mexico, Chile, and the Dutch, but was informal. In response, Mormon diplomats publicly announced the signing of the "Salt Lake City Accords"((https://intcraft.wordpress.com/2019/06/13/nations-of-america-respond-to-salt-lake-city-accords/))((https://intcraft.wiki/_media/salt_lake_city_accords.pdf)), which bounded Deseret, the U.S., Alaska, and the Kingdom of Cascadia (an American splinter group) in a defensive pact. The British-led alliance was undermined by the representative of Cuba, sprinkledinkle, who was secretly an ally to Deseret, and fed them information on private diplomatic discussions. These developments ultimately mattered little on the live server, as the actual political situation was quickly realized to differ from the impressions presented by Discord. Nonetheless, they engaged the attention of many in the pre-launch period.

 On Wednesday morning, accusations were made on Discord that the Columbians used illegal hacks during a raid. In defending himself, a Columbian player would refer to his group as "our clan", prompting further accusations that they were normie cringelords or even Redditors, and a crusade was called against them by a wide coalition of nations. Succumbing to popular pressure, Fili declared a cruel and unusual punishment against the Columbians: a surprise mid-week war period.
-The invasion of Columbia ensued with members of at least six nations sailing boats from the server spawn (in the Bahamas) and up the Mississippi river to the Columbus castle. The fighting lasted three hours, and despite being pressured on two fronts, the Columbians held out quite well. Coalition members made slow progress claiming the open ground outside the castle, and then became stuck by its walls. However, more accusations of combat hacks against the Columbians were made, and Fili again intervened by banning several members believed to be using killaura. With their strength depleted, the Columbians soon gave up, destroyed their supplies, and the castle was claimed and looted by the coalition. Some time later, the accused Columbians were unbanned and the town of Columbus was restored, to surprisingly little objection.

 ==== Brazilian-Chilean War ====
-In a brief skirmish near the end of the war period, a force of Brazilian cavalry led by [[LeiteArts10]] launched an attack against Chile over the Andes mountains, with the goal to contain the ambitions of their regional rival. The small Chilean defense force was hopelessly outgunned, and so a British expeditionary relief force was dispatched to Santiago under the leadership of [[Itsame12]]. The Brazilians gained the upper hand in the ensuing battle, but no territory was traded.
+Brazilian soldiers harassed a Chilean farmer in Patagonia, causing a diplomatic row. The farmer salted his fields and fled to the Falkland islands, establishing the town of Stanley under British protection.

 ===== Death of the server =====

 Fili's tenure as admin was criticized by many at the time, such as Cuban player [[Onion Wizard]], who produced a video titled "Is Fili a Bad Admin?"((now deleted)), highlighting his poor handling of the Cuban and Alaskan wars, among other complaints. Many players would be unhappy at the short length of the iteration.
-However, Fili must be praised for putting together a competent team that created a technically-sound server. The advertising efforts and the resulting newfag boom also changed /int/craft forever, resulting in the formation of several new [[metagroups]] and creating a momentum that carried the server on for at least the next 2 years. Many noteworthy players of the modern era cite Filicraft as their first iteration, and almost all who played it remember it well. Filicraft's reliance on Discord for organization and nation pre-selection was also imitated by subsequent servers, particularly by the [[Onions]] administration, for better or worse. For these reasons, Filicraft can be considered one of the most influential iterations in /int/craft history.

 Fili would go on to produce "[[Filicraft 2]]" just one month later, but it failed to emulate the best parts of the first server, and ended in disgrace for the host. He would later redeem himself with the [[Epochcraft]] series.
