Two years of MineFortress mod! (Patreon)

Wow, I almost missed it, but it's never too late to celebrate! The MineFortress mod turned two years old yesterday!! 🎉 Big date for us! On November 23rd, 2021 - the same day the first public version of the mod was released.

Although the mod had been in the works since mid-2018 as a personal project to play with friends, it eventually became a public project. I could never have imagined that it would grow into such a significant community!

Let's count some numbers:

• Over 250,000 downloads across all platforms
• Over 260,000 social media subscribers
• 90+ versions of the mod have been released
• Over 1,200 commits have been made
• There are currently 4,600 members on the Discord server
• There are an unlimited amount of bugs that I don't want to fix
• More than 1,000,000 hours of fun have been had

Let's sit together and recap everything after a long run!

Do you remember anything else from the early days of the first versions of the mod? If so, please share your memories with us in the comments section.

It's been said that, on average, 95% of projects fail within two years of going public. However, we are proud to be the exception. We are still here, releasing new versions, and actively maintaining the mod. Despite being in development for two years, we have many plans for the future, the biggest of which is making the mod open-source in the next few months. We believe that with your help, the mod will become immortal.

I would like to say "thank you!" to everyone who has been supporting the mod, participating in the community, answering questions, moderating the server, and wishing us all the best for the project. We couldn't have come this far without your help, and we wouldn't be able to celebrate our 2nd anniversary without you all.

So, let's take a slice of our virtual cake 🎂 and celebrate together! Our next milestone is the 3rd anniversary with 1,000,000 downloads!
