This was created for use on our forever world, called “derex smp”, and now I am sharing it with the world. The server is named after the COVID-era derex smp [sic], a Minecraft survival multiplayer server that ran from summer 2020 to early 2022, filled with lore, drama, and memories. It succeeded an earlier server, Aperture Science, which ran from 2017 to 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
