Mineplex was formerly the world's most popular Minecraft server. Its minigames have become staples of early Minecraft on YouTube, and was the stepping stone for many of the most popular servers today. Its stats tracking for games spawned a community of players who played competitively, with the goal of attaining the highest stats on the network. This documentary dives deep into the background, history, and influences of the stats grinding community, from when stats were first introduced all the way to present day.

A huge shoutout to rqil for creating this idea and essentially writing the entire script. All of the credit goes to him, I was just the editor :)

This was a massive project that took just under 2 months to complete, and could not have been done without the help of rqil, FuzzyJunior, Dwasserd, NotEnder, nwang888, bigboey16, and Marhzy.
