A few days ago we were surprised by the fact that The Vatican would have a Minecraft server. This server has been powered by the Reverend Robert Bellecer, also known as the 'technological cure'. Following a survey on Twitter, users chose a Minecraft server. The server has only been open for a few hours, as it has received a DDoS-type attack.
The popularity of Minecraft continues to be very high, even last August it was the second best-selling game in the United States. It was difficult to foresee the success of the game and after years and years, it continues to enjoy great popularity. Mojang was acquired by Microsoft and the game seems somewhat stagnant, although it is scheduled to receive Ray Tracing in 2020.
The Vatican's Minecraft server goes down
Ballecer had the idea of creating a friendly and open Minecraft server that didn't have a pleasant atmosphere. But as it often happens, there are people who want to see the world burn and have launched a DDoS attack on this server.
I'm looking at the Minecraft test server logs and there seem to be a number of people constantly connecting and disconnecting to fill the player slots and kill the server.
Interesting…
Indicates Rober Ballecer on Twitter
It was not the only problem with this server. Ballecer explains that the server was in the testing phase and when the information reached the media, things got out of hand. Currently it indicates that they are working on fixing the problems and also the server will become a whitelist when the migration is finished.
In addition, the server has moderators who review everything we do.
Hello, I was banned, my user is pirate101, I don't know why, but it just happened randomly.

The mods have been watching you for over an hour. That was NOT random.
