Minecraft Forum

The Minecraft Forum is a community-driven forum for Minecraft. It was created on June 16, 2009 by community member citricsquid and has continued to be operated by the community, with Mojang Studios having no involvement in day-to-day operations (although some Mojang Studios employees have accounts on the site).

In September 2010, Redstone Wire Ltd. was formed to manage the site, and on November 15, 2010, the site was acquired by Curse, who owned and operated the site until it was acquired by MagicFind in June 2019. The forum software used is called Cobalt and was developed in-house by Curse. If you are fond of crossbow and Minecraft and want to learn more about them then you are exactly at the right place. Basically, crossbows and bows are somewhat similar with little differences.

The forum serves as a hub for the Minecraft community with game modifications, custom maps, servers and resource packs all being shared. Registration to the site is free and anyone with or without a Minecraft account is allowed to use the site. Forum administration is managed by citricsquid and PuyoDead, as well as the forum moderation team is made up of over 100 volunteers.

The site front page includes news, videos, interviews, contests and articles, relating to Minecraft, Mojang Studios and the Minecraft community in general. The front-page news is managed by Sacheverell with videos from the MCSpotlights YouTube Channel and the Curse YouTube channel.

On May 20, 2019, citricsquid announced that the forums will become read-only on June 16, 2019. However, on June 12, 2019, the archival was cancelled and the site ownership was transferred to a different company.
