I still remember the first time I launched minecraft, back when it was in version 1.12 got into singleplayer opened the world in survival & began breaking all the blocks i saw around me, i still remember walking into lava thinking it was some orange liquid and burning away into ashes. I was in my 8th grade, and only knew minecraft was just this cool game where everything is blocks
Need to change the above and improve clarity and vocabulary --> Adithya or change the entire thing... --> Adithya
I think I beat the ender dragon the first time when I was super bored in summer vacations, still remember dying atleast a hundred times before I somehow managed to get under the dragon and kill it,
Idk if this is good lmao --> Adithya
Around the same time period, I began watching minecraft related videos on YouTube, there was lots and lots of content, because as we all know the minecraft community is huge! on one really calm day, I came across a video with the thumbnail that said "How to play minecraft with friends" and that is where it all started, multiplayer, servers, SMPs, communities,
After that day, my entire focus revolved around owning a server and having fun with friends, so the next day at school, I gathered all the few people who played minecraft in my grade and invited them to play with me on my Aternos server (just server?)
Its been 5 years and now I own a public minecraft community and a server, I will be linking the server and its socials ahead, do join in, have fun!
Thinking of removing this plug... --> Adithya
I hope by the end of this book, I will be able to successfully impart some knowledge about owning minecraft servers and managing them.
Flow? good? --> Adithya

Managing servers, mostly has been fun, because its a way to meet new people, some good, supportive people who know how to go about or those who give new tips and tricks, and some bad, in the form of script kiddies, hackers, spammers, etc... Its always a 2 sided spectrum of people who you find in our journey of managing a minecraft server.
Refining needed --> Adithya
