Miladycraft Metaverse and the Evolution of ‘Network Spirituality’ in Minecraft

A custom Minecraft game server acts as a critical meeting place and an immersive, philosophical art piece at the center of Miladycraft Metaverse—one of Ethereum’s most popular and provocative NFT projects, known as Milady Maker NFT.

The Miladycraft metaverse was created by holders of the Remilia Corp, built around rich theories on the modern world and micro-communities full of lore. NFT projects (like Milady Maker and Redacted Remilio Babies) for members to enjoy.

But it’s more than just a place to hunt for diamonds and build dirt huts in a blocky voxel environment. According to the server founders, Miladycraft Metaverse is an art piece in and of itself.

In 2021, two community members wrote the “Milady World Minecraft Server White Paper” with the guidance of the collection founder, Charlotte Fang. “Miladycraft Metaverse World might seem simple, as it is solely a Minecraft server—factually, that is correct—but with it, we wish to explore modes of sociality,” the white paper concludes. “With Milady World, we intend to harness human impulse unto inner fulfillment.“

It’s a rich document teeming with explanations of video game history, personal asides, and sincere statements that might make readers crack a smile. For example, Minecraft asserts that it “stimulated some of the greatest conversations in recent times known to man“ and “acts as the modern digital businessman’s golf.“

It also imagines wild competitive success: “In another world, Miladycraft Metaverse could have been redefining esports, players whose caliber would be unmatched in the gaming world, forever; a golden age ushered in not by the mechanical greatness and artistic splendor of the games, but by the raw, unrelenting rockstars of gamers that could not seem to fail at succeeding, no matter what.”

Remilia Corp Expansions

The Miladycraft Metaverse modpack and server have been used for social experiments, such as last month’s Second Annual Grand Remilia Ball. Intended to emulate the atmosphere of a real-world ball, the event was hosted in a lavish custom-built hall with attendees’ avatars dressed to the nines in virtual formalwear—and accompanied by a date.

“The purpose is, ultimately, because it’s fun and funny,“ pseudonymous server co-founder and event organizer Scorched Earth Policy told Decrypt. “But deconstructed, a necessity for the structure is due to online events having a natural entropy towards chaos.”

As a result, the event organizers believe it’s important to enforce that every attendee must bring a date, and they highly recommend that they be female—Miladycraft Metaverse Maker NFT is not required. This partially reduces the risk of the event having no women in sight. But it’s also because they believe it reduces the risk of trolls and annoying jokesters.

“Said jokers would either be unable to find a date or wouldn’t dare to incite such embarrassment upon their date either way,“ Onno Morrison (who goes simply by Onno online), the server’s co-founder, told Decrypt.

“It’s just a fundamentally true principle that gender ratio will mathematically proportionately decide how fun your party will be,“ Scorched Earth Policy claimed. However, the desired gender ratio was ultimately not rigidly enforced.

Some Milady community members scrambled for dates to enter the ball. However, dating someone purely online (called e-dating) is strictly prohibited by Milady creator Fang. As such, community members are encouraged to go out and speak to people in the real world to find a companion for the virtual ball.

Some attendees took long-standing partners, while others asked friends to join them—and a few indeed resorted to the internet to find a date, including DeGods and y00ts NFT project founder Frank DeGods, who tweeted out a request. One community member even set up a matchmaking Twitter account, although not a single match was made.

One attendee, Jeffortless, asked their date out by sending them a bouquet and a Hello Kitty Kuromi plushie. The pair have never met in real life, but Jeffortless insists that they aren’t an editor. “It wasn’t romantic intent,“ Jeffortless told Decrypt. “Sure, people can look at it that way or even practice courtship, so it seems like dating. But I don’t, nor did I treat it like dating.“

Minecraft Social Events

To the creators, Miladycraft Metaverse is more than a simple Minecraft server. It’s a work of art. Scorched Earth Policy and Onno were having lengthy discussions about Minecraft in 2021, itching to play the game again. However, those conversations went nowhere until Fang prompted them to document their discussions—like modern-day Socrates and Plato.

“Such a distraction could not be justified unless it was made applicable towards propelling Remilia’s financial or artistic merit,“ Scorched Earth Policy explained. So, the pair critiqued Minecraft’s state, modern gaming, and broader society in their elaborate white paper.

“Long after Miladycraft becomes defunct or forgotten, the white paper will go on to demonstrate the cultural significance of what we’ve assembled,“ Scorched Earth Policy said. “The white paper is the art; the server is the work that makes it art and gives it reality.”

One of the white paper’s core arguments is that Minecraft is ultimately flawed due to Mojang’s mismanagement, steering the game towards children. It stresses that socialization in the virtual world is accurate and that the human experience is mirrored in gaming.

The white paper contends that Minecraft can serve as a sufficient metaverse and already has it in many ways. However, in their view, years of mismanagement prevented this vision from being fully realized. The team set out what it would take for Minecraft to match their vision. They originally planned for the server to be accessible to moderators but ultimately changed course there.

The white paper also explores how reality and the virtual gaming world connect. It stresses that socialization in the virtual world can feel just as vivid as real life and that gaming is a precursor to an inevitable era of digitally simulated reality.

“Minecraft was the first truly open-world, open-possibility game ever created, and its existence marks a critical moment in history,“ Scorched Earth Policy said. “Not just for video games, but for metaverses and the internet itself.”

With its creation, the server has played host to countless golden nuggets of lore and has been compared by players to the legendary 2b2t Minecraft anarchy server. For example, in Miladycraft, a seed phrase to a wallet containing 10 ETH (about $27,500 worth) has been hidden near the spawn point and remains in a forever ongoing hunt.
