 **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. **Filicraft**, also known as **i28** and officially "**Manifest Destiny**" was a server hosted by [[uhFiliate]] in June 2019.

 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. 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 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.+The server was noted for its hugely successful mass-advertising campaign.

 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/)) Other major nations in North America were Deseret, led by [[stryker]] from his established group, and the British Empire, newfags organized by Jonathan.

-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.+Two opposing power blocs were formed.

 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. 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.

-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.+However, Fili must be praised for putting together a competent team that created a technically-sound server.

 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. 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.
