Started on June 1st, 2020, at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, DRACO_SZN and friends created Aerocraft and opened it up to the world.
A whitelist-only Vanilla Minecraft Survival experience that would come to be a community of laughter and fun.
The Season 1 map began on Minecraft 1.15 and exploded quickly with new shops and services popping up in the largest Spawn Aerocraft has had.
We had redstonists, builders, farmers, and wizards of all shapes and sizes create a bustling economy and beautiful builds all across the servers.
Starting from Season 2 all the way until Season 4b, the Admin team explored many new mechanics and features that added to the overall Vanilla experience of Minecraft.
In this age, we saw creative and unique ideas through game design that brought about new challenges, discoveries, and gameplay.
At the end of April 2022, Aerocraft's doors closed. This was a period of reflection and reminiscence of the memories and laughter we shared in the past.
On March 1st, 2024, nearly 2 years to the date of Aerocraft's closure; Aerocraft: Reborn was created. A spiritual successor of Aerocraft. The new and old community members of Aerocraft came together to create a small forever-world with each other to play Minecraft on.

One of the three Founders of the Original Aerocraft Minecraft Survival server. DRACO had started the server as a Minecraft Realm for his immediate friends, but after inactivity plagued the realm, Draco turned to a public facing whitelisted server and Aerocraft was born.
Draco served as the Owner of the server during Seasons 1 and 2 providing financial stability during the Golden Age of Aerocraft.
Tikkle is the 3rd ever player to join the Original Aerocraft Minecraft Survival server. Joining on the 2nd day of the server's public release. He quickly progressed through the game and slew the First Ender Dragon of Aerocraft by his 3rd day of playing.
Part of the first recruitment batch of staff help by Draco, Tikkle quickly rose to the position of Operator of the Aerocraft Survival server ushering in gameplay stability and performance enhancements that aided in bringing forth the Golden Age of Aerocraft.

Death, as they are affectionately addressed, is a PvP, duel-crazy, blood-thirsty madman driven by two things: War and Money.
One of the first members to join the Aerocraft server, Death quickly established a name for chaos, fun, and PvP. Establishing WALL-MART in the Spawn area- Death quickly caught attention of staff for equipping new players with full Enchanted Diamond gear, in conjunction with another member's enchantment bookstore, at disgustingly low prices. This prompted an Admin-intervention that forced prices up.
With his Min-Max mentality, DeathWolffe dominated the markets and became one of the wealthiest members of the community. Truly becoming one of the most terrifying players to deal with on both PvP and Market Share fronts.
A Salesman. An Oligarch. A Warlord.
The man who is too vanilla for Vanilla Minecraft but is the smartest man on the server holding a Master of Science degree in Speech-Language Pathology.
He thoroughly enjoys manual resource collection, large-scale long-term projects, and has never slayed the Ender Dragon, Wither, or Warden in a group or through solo play. Truly, the White Bread of Minecraft.
Serving as a staff member on three separate occasions, including a spell as a Systems Admin, Shade put forth many ideas for events and features that breathed life into the community and fun for the souls.

Purveyor of KONKCRETE, blesser of names "Pikkle", the Traveling Merchant of Opportunity. 32FPS handicapped.
