The adminworld was a special world for admins that was added to the server in early 2013 and continued to exist until the server's closure on August 17, 2023. The concept was suggested on the forums by buildcarter8 on February 6, 2013 and was implemented shortly afterwards. Since then, the world has been reset on a few occasions, but only two iterations have been publicly archived as of August 2023.
The world was initially handled by an external plugin maintained by disaster839, but this functionality was later integrated to the TotalFreedomMod in August 2013 after a falling-out occurred which led to his plugins being removed from the server. Initially, non-admins couldn't access the world unless they were added as a "guest", which gave them access temporarily. This restriction was lifted in 2020, allowing non-admins to enter (but not modify) the adminworld. Despite this, the world was frequently griefed by both rogue staff and players abusing exploits. In some cases, the world was even wiped by accident due to insufficient training related to the panel at the time.
Known Iterations
Iterations of the world often consists of old spawnpoints, pixel art, or even personal projects from dozens if not hundreds of admins over the course of a few years.
February 2013 - January 2015
The first iteration was generated sometime between February 7 and February 10. It was officially reset on January 29, 2015 following a large-scale grief that occurred just a few days earlier and a download link was provided in the Super Admin Lounge for those who were interested. The world has since been re-uploaded to the Internet Archive.

The all-consuming void... -
Definitely caused by a brush. -
It's like a birthday cake!
January 2015 - April 2020
The second iteration was first generated on January 29, 2015. This iteration is the most well-known in the community as it lasted for a little more than 5 years. Unlike other iterations, this one has multiple revisions available for download on the Internet Archive.
Trivia
