MelonAnarchy is a Minecraft anarchy server announced by Richy Z, the CEO of Numelon, on the 24th of April 2024. The server aims to provide a more welcoming and enjoyable experience for players compared to traditional anarchy servers.
History
MelonAnarchy is a reincarnation of a previous anarchy server called "SpotAnarchy," which was launched in 2021. SpotAnarchy operated on legacy hardware with a limited internet connection of 10 megabits. Despite accumulating a Discord community, SpotAnarchy was discontinued after a year and a half due to declining popularity and high energy costs for hosting on legacy hardware.
Announcement and Launch
The official announcement for MelonAnarchy in the Numelon Discord server stated:
SpotAnarchy is back... 👀 In another form!

ℹ️ What is melonanarchy?
Minecraft anarchy servers often suffer from outdated Minecraft versions and a challenging environment for newcomers due to rampant griefing and cheating, particularly around spawn areas. melonanarchy seeks to address these issues by establishing a well-designed spawn with a radius of approximately 50 blocks. This ensures that players cannot easily grief the spawn or accidentally fall into endless voids created by cheaters, providing a more welcoming experience for new players.
Although melonanarchy does not prohibit cheating and maintains a mostly unmoderated environment, its primary goal is to foster enjoyment, inclusivity, and a cozy, welcoming community. By allowing players to connect using modern Minecraft versions and remaining relatively small and unpopular, the server aims to create a more intimate and friendly gaming experience for its members.
🧓 Our origins
We were plunged and conceived by friends as an innocent Minecraft anarchy server in 2021 called "SpotAnarchy", running on legacy hardware and a limited internet connection of only 10 megabits. (very slow!) It was advertised quite well and we accumulated around 10 daily players with an additional cozy Discord community present. However, after only a year and a half of service, SpotAnarchy was discontinued because of declining popularity, high energy costs for the server, and some other factors.
melonanarchy aims to be the rebirth of SpotAnarchy by providing a completely fresh start. Now we are hosted on top notch enterprise hardware with a stable, blazing internet connection and with a new modern touch!
The server was subsequently listed on many Minecraft server list websites to help gain some traction.
Updates
The server was updated to Minecraft's 1.21 "Tricky Trials" update on the 18th of June 2024, following a community poll where the "upgrade" vote won by a landslide, as was predicted.
Community and Impact
MelonAnarchy has contributed to the recent growth of Numelon, particularly in terms of public appearance and community engagement. The server sees a daily player count of around 3 concurrent players, which is considered decent for an anarchy server when also accounting for its relatively low age.
The server is notable for its friendly and kind community, which contrasts with many other anarchy servers that are often associated with negative behaviours such as racism, homophobia, and extreme political views. The supportive community is likely a result of the server's initial introduction as a welcoming environment, attracting positive and inclusive players. The unique and vibrant community of MelonAnarchy is a subject of interest for further study.
