=== WIDECRAFT Alpha ===
The original server was run after Gorzhak sent the backup of his Minecraft server to Taylor, who uploaded it to a 3rd party host, with the intention of later self hosting when possible. A testing period was established as different server jars and plugins were trialed, finally settling on using PaperMC, as well as many QoL plugins and datapacks. The alpha ran from October 24th 2021 to November 30th, when the server was shifted to a completely vanilla setup for 1.18 while waiting for plugins to update
 
=== WIDECRAFT Beta (Public Release) ===
After a few days of the server running 1.18 Vanilla, Paper was sufficiently updated to a stable point on December 3rd, allowing the closed phase of the beta to begin. After the release of 1.18.1, the server was considered stable and safe enough for the public launch, which was announced via [[BEEFYBOYS.club]] the afternoon of December 11th.
 
The Open Beta period ran until September 15th on a 3rd party host, taken down in anticipation of being transferred to [[WIDESERVER]] in Q4.
 
=== WIDECRAFT v1 ===
WIDECRAFT officially launched out of its "testing" phase on December 2nd 2022 with the installation of fiber at Taylor's office, allowing the server to be hosted onsite.

Old Southland is perhaps the oldest map in The WIDERVERSE, dating itself back to early 2011 from a small server set up by Taylor and [[Prude]]. The map has since been used in several other servers like [[FriendCraft]] as well as the shortlived [[TayPack]].

A saved version of the 2018 Vanilla map, Bimmercraft showcases the server hosted in The WIDEVERSE back in 2018.

{{See also|Buhuistan}}
Buhuistan serves as the defacto "main world". Taken from the original Minecraft Realm hosted by [[Gorzhak]] in 2019, Buhuistan has a long rich history of builds such as Gorzhaks [[Dolphin Vape Cave|Vape Cave]] and [[Taylor]]s [[New_Southland|New Southland Manor]].
Buhuistan is also the location of the servers spawn area where portals to all the linked worlds can be found.
=== The Widelands ===

The 1.18 update required a total world overhaul due to changes in terrain generation as well as new caves and underground biomes. The Widelands was created to replace the aging Buhuistan.

=== The Depths ===
=== The Depths ===
A map with no surface and no sunlight, The Depths appeals to the Dwarf Fort enthusiast who cant get enough of caves and darkness. The Depths map was expected to be released sometime in December 2021, but was delayed until after 1.19 to take advantage of the new underground cities and biomes.
=== Minigame Lobby ===
